BREAKFAST PUDDING

I made this one morning when we were completely out of eggs.  Technically I don't think I should be having it on the Whole30, but it was all I had.  And it was so good :)

INGREDIENTS:



1 avocado

1 banana

2 tbsp almond butter

1/2 cup coconut milk

2-3 tbsp 100% cacao powder

2 tbsp hemp seeds

1 tbsp cacao nibs



DIRECTIONS:



Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor.  blend until smooth!

TANGY AVOCADO DEVILED EGGS

Easter just can't happen without deviled eggs.  My mom and grandmothers all make amazing deviled eggs, which are quite simple: egg, mayo, salt and pepper.  sometimes topped with capers or olives.  As much as I love them, I can't bring myself to attempt homemade maybe again (yet), so I had to do something different.  Here they are, Tangy Avocado Stuffed Eggs.

INGREDIENTS:

12 eggs

2 avocados

juice from 2 - 3 limes

2 tsp garlic powder

1tbsp white or red wine vinegar

1/4 cup water or more as need to thin out to the consistency you like

4 slices crisp bacon, chopped

salt & pepper to taste

paprika for topping

DIRECTIONS:

Hard boil your eggs.  I actually bake mine in a muffin tin at 325 for 30 minutes.  Less work and they come out perfect every time.  Allow to cool, I always let mine over night.  You know, just in case :)

In your food processor, combine all other ingredients except the bacon and paprika.  Blend until smooth.

When eggs are cool, remove yolks, combine in a bowl with the avocado puree, and mash it all up.  fill egg whites with the avocado/egg filling.  Top each egg with bacon and a sprinkle of paprika.

ENJOY!

Buffalo Pumpkin Chili

This is perfect on a cold spring (or any season) day.  All the flavors blend so well, despite how it sounds :)  I usually add whatever I have on hand, but I'll just post how I made it this time.  This can be made stove top, or in the crock pot.  I like to keep mine simmering all day in the crock pot so we can eat it whenever we get home.

2 lbs ground buffalo
1 Qt Vegetable Juice
28 oz Can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 large yellow onion - chopped
1 large portobello mushroom - chopped

2.25 oz canned sliced olives

2 cloves garlic minced
1 TBS pumpkin pie spice
1 TBS hot sauce
1 TBS chili powder
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

DIRECTIONS

- if cooking stove top, after you brown the meat, add the onion and mushroom and simmer for 5 minutes.  then add all ingredients and cook for 1 hour on medium heat.
