The Mothership

This bread is NOT sugar free. And it is not Paleo. But made from things in my house. And it has a TON less sugar than my other Banana Bread recipe (which I use when I make for other people or for a big occasion - which was courteously given to me by my friend Sara 😉). So for our family we will be having it every so often instead of me feeling guilty with how much sugar I’m giving them. Tim honestly said it tasted “awesome” and a child, not my own, also gobbled it down. I wanted to make something for my kids to eat after they get home. They are famished from the day at school and need all the carbs for more energy. In this there are healthy carbs, fiber, and bits of protein. It also didn’t take me a bazillion dishes to wash or hours to bake. And all the ingredients were as “whole” or organic as I could get from my cabinet. Either way - it’s less sugar than the 3 plus cups of sugar for my other batch Recipe : 2 tablespoons of sugar 1 tablespoon of cinnamon 3 ripe bananas, mashe

I really enjoy easy and healthy.  By the time I fix the foods for the three monkeys...I just want to eat quickly...so the faster and healthier the better. Since Easter just happened, we have an insane amount of hard boiled eggs in the house, all brightly colored.  And while I love a good hard boiled egg, I needed to make something to help get rid of more than one at a time.  I eat it on top of spinach and arugula, topped with some tomatoes.  Would also be good on wheat toast or on boats of romaine.  My mom ate it inside a slice of turkey today. I made a big batch so that I have plenty for the week:) Egg Salad: 6 hard boiled eggs, sliced or chopped 2 avocado, sliced into chunks 2 Tablespoons of soy yogurt (or regular, but plain flavor) 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or juice from 1/4 of a lemon 1 tbsp. onion 1 Tbsp. dijon mustard (optional) 1 Tablespoon of banana peppers (optional) 1 tsp. relish Salt Pepper Mix it all together.  If you need salt, add it, but t

I’m sure this is super basic for a lot of you. But this was one of the first meals I perfected as a newlywed...so many moons ago. It’s super easy, no chopping besides garlic (or not if you decide to do powder). I prepared the fish in about 5 minutes, took a shower while it baked, and then sautéed the spinach in 5. This is perfect for a quick to the table dinner. Ingredients : 1&1/2 lbs. of Salmon (or steelhead trout, tilapia, or halibut) Avocado oil (or whatever oil you cook with) Lemon pepper 2 garlic cloves Salt 1 container of fresh spinach (about 6oz) 1/2 lemon Red pepper flakes Sea Salt Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place fish in a oven safe dish. Spread oil (about a tablespoon) over the top of the fish.  Sprinkle 1 minced clove, lemon pepper, and salt over the top of the fish.  Bake for 12 minutes (or until fish flakes). Let sit for one minute.  Last 5 minutes of fish cooking, heat up 1 tablespoon of oil over medium- low heat.  Add the spinach and 1
