Gluten Free Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #healthyfood #funfood #desserts #glutenfree

I found this wonderful, fun mug cake recipe. I couldn't wait to try it. I was so busy this morning and needed something special; this fit in perfectly. I only used coconut sugar the entire recipe. I blended the amount for the icing in the food processor. It came out a bit lighter and I had plenty of icing and some left over. I finally found a gluten free flour that cooks well, is light and fluffy, and I DON'T miss the wheat at all. This flour has a light denseness to it that's perfect. My stomach was thanking me for using gluten free. On to make pizza with it next. I got it in the gluten free flour bin at Winco grocery store.

Fun Weekend Blender Banana Pancakes #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #oatflour #bananas #healthyfood



If you enjoy the taste of oat, as I do now trying to find gluten free options - this one coming closest along with garbanzo bean flour to wheat, you will enjoy these pancakes. I love using the blender for recipes and these women I find recipes from rock!


Pancake Recipe

With this one I cut the recipe in half and added one egg, nice amount of cinnamon, 1 tsp of vanilla, 1/2 tsp baking powder (I use aluminum free .99 at Trader Joe's), 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (or you can use lemon), 1 1/2 tbsp of honey, and used butter to cook the pancakes with. To keep it vegan you can use a flax egg and use coconut oil to cook the pancakes with. I used regular milk because this was all I had in the house. Double my added ingredients if you use the full recipe. I used honey, as I always have in the house, for the syrup on top. Very yummy and filling and I have four to five breakfasts out of it. Still gluten free and refined sugar free that I stick with.

Coconut Sugar Chick Pea Flour Raisin Cookies #coconut #raisin #lorijeaninthekitchen



Gingerbread and Molasses Tasting Raisin Cookies
These are amazing and satisfying me not to crawl the wall for a refined sugar sweet or wheat. I just swapped out the regular sugar and stevia for 3 Tbsp of coconut sugar and used a healing scoop of raisins instead of chocolate. I greased the cookie sheet with coconut oil.

3rd and 4th Bean Recipes: Garbanzo Bean/Chick Pea Flour Banana Muffins and Garbanzo Bean/Chick Pea Flour Brownies with Chocolate Icing #lorijeaninthekitchen #healthyfood #healthyliving #healthymedicine


Chick Pea or Garbanzo Beans give me energy to help fight the fatigue. Where I don't eat refined sugar these were a lifesaver to help me stay on this road. They didn't have that tang or dingy flavor of chick peas, especially in a dessert. Loved them. Sorry about the yellow draw line in the photo. I couldn't get it out.


 Chick Pea Flour Brownies

I didn't have instant coffee so I used extra cocoa powder instead. I used coconut sugar and even cut the recipe in half and used a loaf pan. It worked great. I also used the usual homemade chocolate recipe that I got online.

I didn't use this brownie mix that is in this icing recipe if this is confusing. Scroll right under the brownie recipe here for the chocolate icing recipe..

Chick Pea/Garbanzo Flour Banana Bread


I loved these with cream cheese or a cream cheese honey sweetened cheesecake filling.

Keto Broccoli Soup and Vegan Carrot Cake Oat Muffins #yummy #healthyfood #lorijeaninthekitchen #holistichealing #holisticmedicine





Vegan Carrot Cake Oat Muffins
                                                                                                           Keto Broccoli Soup


I couldn't believe how good these muffins were. I used regular milk because I didn't have anything else in the house. I omitted the nuts.

                                                                                                     
This soup is great. I didn't have have heavy whipping cream so I used half and half. I also put less broccoli because I didn't have much.

Scrumptious Chicken in a Crock Pot #delicious #sage #healthyfood #lorijeaninthekitchen




The spices in this chicken wake up my senses. I feel more connected. Sage is very good for you. I usually can't find recipes where I appreciate the taste of it. I made a gravy of the juices at the bottom of the crock pot mixing cornstarch with it. This is one of my favorite, if not favorite ways to make chicken.

I used coconut oil for the fat, rubbed sage, and omitted the curry.

Homemade Tater Tots
I left the dill out and didn't even have to squeeze out any excess water. No chemicals and saves you from having to go to the store and buy a bag.



As I promised, I'm also sticking to beans, at least one dish a week. I spread it out throughout five days. It buckles down the budget and gives me variety with my vegetables.

Italian Vegan Garbanzo Bean Soup




I left out the cherry tomatoes and only used 1 c. of vegetable broth (I made mine in the instant pot with 1 1/2 c. white lima beans to 3 c. water, rosemary, and a bay leaf and some small carrot pieces). I used the broth from this and it was DELICIOUS. Making the broth again I would put a bit less beans to water. I used celery seed which I do quite a bit instead of celery. It keeps better and I think adds a better flavor. So far, this is the best bean soup I've made.


Instant Pot Potato Leek Soup
Adding one more potato recipe, this is the BEST potato soup I've ever had. I didn't have any leeks and just used onion and it was still great. I also used a homemade seasoned sea salt recipe.
