Coconut Flour Orange Cake #coconut #energy #healing #emotionalbeing #holisticyeah

I'm always sharing how coconut flour helps me. I always feel more energized and alert. This helps your emotional state. This is why I'm always experimenting on ways to cook/bake with it. I think I found a neat tasting cake. It may  not taste sweet enough for you at first but your body gets used to it. It actually starts to like the finer things in life. I know I love my homemade dark chocolate with honey or molasses better than regular chocolate. I look forward to the fine taste.

I'm actually finding regular eating is great. This has become regular eating with regular foods as everyone else consumes daily.

Homemade Paleo BBQ Sauce and My First Piece of Grass-Fed Bison #lorijeaninthekitchen #holisticyeah #holisticmedicine #museboatradio @museboatlive






Homemade BBQ Sauce from Juli Bauer's Paleo Cookbook p. 278
I added a touch of honey. Mouthwatering. I like my chicken grilled dark.



My first piece of grass-fed bison. It gave me a kick like liver.


Summer Squash Gratin
I used breadcrumbs and didn't have cornmeal and it was still good. I looked forward to eating it which is important to me. I added extra cheese too.

If you  missed these I posted earlier at my social sites, Apple Pie Spiced Muffins.
These are heavenly and light. Coconut flour is tricky to cook with so don't be scared of the texture. I used raisins and found that using lighter fruit is better when solely using coconut flour. Also make sure you feel the spring back when baking. This will ensure this kind of flour is cooked thoroughly.

Please come by Sundays at 1:00 pm PST for one of my featured podcasts from "Holistic Tips with Lori Jean" at Museboat Radio. I'll be in the chat room to answer any questions you might have.

3 Bean Turkey Chili and Homemade Italian Dressing #lorijeaninthekitchen #goodfood #healthyfood



Turkey Chili
I made quite a bit of changes where I don't like things too hot. I can't imagine how anyone can handle the amount of spices that are called for. But with that said, with a bit of tweaking it's delicious. I omitted chili powder, red or yellow pepper ( I had green peppers in my canned black beans), chipotle powder, used less jalapeno pepper, only used 1 tsp of cumin, a pinch of cayenne pepper, used two beans (kidney and black beans), added 3 stalks of celery sauteed them before the onions and jalapeno for at least 5 minutes, used tomato sauce I had in stock instead of canned tomatoes, used my own homemade chicken stock and definitely squeezed lime on top as well as crumbled some smoked cheddar I had in the house.
Homemade Italian Dressing
This stuff is delicious. I couldn't believe how much better it is than just using oil and vinegar and so much better than store-bought dressing where there's so many chemicals. I loved the white wine vinegar in this and also when using on fresh green salads adding provolone to bring a fresh Italian restaurant flavor is a plus. It states on the recipe page that this is a good marinade. I wouldn't doublt it.

 Homemade Chip Dip
Very affordable and yummy.

 Tuna Cakes
These make a wonderful way to make those darker cans of tuna taste absolutely delicious!!
