Simple Streusel

I love dessert and my favorite has always been any kind of fruit crisp.  This is similar...more crust (yum!) and no refined crap(YAY!)

Stir together:

1 stick butter-melted

1/2 cup liquid sweetener (honey, maple syrup, even date puree!)

Mix in until moist and crumbly:

1-1/2 cups flour (I use sprouted spelt flour but any grain flour will work)

1-1/2 cup oats (the thicker the better)

Set 1 cup of oat/flour mixture aside, press the rest in a 9x9 greased pan (crust).  

Spread evenly over crust:

1 cup jam (chia jam is awesome!)

Sprinkle remaining cup of oat/flour evenly over jam then top with:

1/2 cup chopped nuts

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

Superhero Oat "Crepecakes"

Mmmmmicrowave popcorn?

I gave up microwave popcorn a while ago but this flavor sounded too good to miss and good GOD am I glad I tried it.  Salty, buttery goodness with a delicious hint of lime!  A bag of this, 1/2 cup fiber one cottage cheese and a small nectarine (280 calories, 14 protein, 10 fiber) and I am IN HEAVEN (with a full belly)!!!

Crazy Good Margherita Pizza (265 Calories, 10 fiber, 17 protein)

Flatout light, sliced tomatoes, 1-1/2 oz feta, sliced red onions, 1 tsp balsamic glaze and 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil.  Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes then top with fresh basil and salt and pepper if desired.

Peaches & Cream

I have been craving Quaker peaches and cream oatmeal so I thought I would attempt a healthier alternative!

Put in a bowl:
1/2 cup frozen peaches
1/2 cup uncooked oats
1 Tbs chia seeds
1 Tbs nuts or seeds
3/4 cup liquid (I do half milk half water)
Sweetener if desired

Let it soak until the peaches are thawed-eat cold or hot.

I actually used my homemade toasted muesli instead of the oats/nuts/seeds and it was awesome!  Frozen berries or applesauce would also be great!

My One Cheat

So I have decided to allow chicken bone broth in my pescetarian diet.  35 calories and 9 grams of protein...plus it is a good source of joint loving gelatin!  I heat it up, add a little lemon juice and drink my cares and hunger away.  I bought this brand but also make it homemade very easily, chicken bones, water and apple cider vinegar in a crockpot on low for about 36 hours.

Cabbage Slaw for Fish Tacos

I got a great head of purple cabbage from my co-op today and it inspired me to make fish tacos!  I had already bought some wild caught hake and orange grape tomatoes from Costco and I had corn tortillas leftover from last weeks black bean and kale enchiladas (recipe to come).  ANYWAY, this slaw is really all you need to go along with a nice piece of fish.  PS-purple cabbage is much healthier than boring old green/white cabbage.

Stir together:
Half a small head of cabbage, chopped
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
3 Tbs lime juice
1 tsp sweetener (any will work)
2 tsp cumin
Salt & pepper
Lots of chopped tomatoes and fresh cilantro

Throw some fish, jack cheese and this slaw in a corn tortilla and prepare to be delighted!
