Serves 4:
I soaked chopped sweet potatoes in cold salted water for over an hour. I drained the potatoes and dried them in the spinner to remove the water. I coated them extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil and sea salt. I baked them at 400 until golden and crispy, stirring halfway though. I let them cool and crisp up on the pan and then I served them with a chipotle aioli!
I made banana bread with flour, baking powder, sea salt, banana, egg, maple syrup, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon juice and zest. I layered and topped the bread with chocolate granola made using oats, flax seeds, butter, maple syrup, cacao powder, sea salt and vanilla.
I topped this with melted chocolate and ice cream for my dad’s birthday!! It was delicious!!!
I made chocolate topped toffee bars from The Joy of Cooking.
I switched cane sugar for brown sugar and honey for maple syrup. I quadrupled the amount of chocolate and used a combination of white, milk and dark!!!
This was fantastic! I made these for hubby’s friends birthday!
I made this for my in-laws and my father-in-law loved it!
*this recipe can easily be doubled for a larger batch
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Add oats and salt to a sheet pan or skillet and toast for 10 minutes.
While the oats are toasting, melt the butter over very low heat. Once melted, add the maple syrup, pumpkin purée, cinnamon and vanilla and stir to combine well. Remove from the heat.
After the 10 minutes, remove the oats and salt from the oven, add the walnuts or pecans and pour the maple syrup/butter mixture over the oats. Stir to combine very well. You want all the oats and nuts covered in the syrup mixture. Put the pan or skillet back in the oven for 25 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes.
Remove the granola from the oven and stir around in the pan/skillet, so it doesn’t stick. Stir every 10 minutes until the granola comes to room temperature.
Enjoy!

I love applying a honey face mask! I use any and all raw honeys (Activisy Manuka 1000 is my favorite!).
Pour honey into hands and use to cover face and neck. Let sit for 5-40 minutes and rinse off.
