Yumo Recipes! Food You Will Become Addicted To!

Who is ready for some yummy yummy yummy treats??!!! I know I am! Here are two of my fav recipes right now. One I was making once a week when I was doing my sugar detox for a little treat the second is one of my favourite things to make for supper right now!

Coconut Candy Crack


1 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup honey ( or sweetener of choice I used honey the first time and steevia afterwards) 
can add more if you want it sweeter 
4 Tbsp of Cacao, note not coco cacao as cacao is the raw unrefined chocolate 
that is actually good for you
1 handful of chopped nuts of choice (I used cashews and almonds)
1 handful of coconut shredded
Optional 1 handful of dried gogi berries

Instructions
1. Melt coconut oil in a heavy pot on the stove. When oil is fully melted add in sweetener and cacao then stir!
2. Remove pot from the stove and add in nuts, coconut, and berries.
3. Pour into a sallow pan about 9x9 covered in tin foil then stick in the freezer for about 45 minutes.
4. Pig out! Seriously! Just make sure to keep this in the freezer in between pig outs as coconut oil melts at room temp!

Bok Choy Stir Fry (for two)


10 oz of bok choy 
1 1/2 cups chopped mushrooms of choice (I like shitaki)
2 Tbsp of Tamari or Soya Sauce if you aren't gfree
1 Tbsp of maple syrup or honey
2 cloves of garlic chopped
chunk of coconut oil
prepared grains to serve over, 1 cup per person
1 Tbsp of hemp hearts, or if you do not have them sesame seeds

Instructions
1. Wash bok choy and mushrooms and dry. After they are dry chop both into bite sized pieces.
2. Heat chunk of coconut oil in large heavy sauce pan over med-low heat. Once oil is melted add in maple syrup, garlic and 1 Tbsp of tamari. Let mingle.
3. Once mingling has occurred add in mushrooms and let them soak up and brown in sauce. Once they are brown and have soaked up about half the sauce add in the bok choy and let it wilt.
4. Once bok choy is wilted add in the last tbsp of tamari turn off the stove, cover and let sit for 3-4 minutes then add in hemp hearts.
5. Serve over grain of choice, I have used quinoa and rice both are great, and enjoy!!!
