Dad’s Cafe

Dad’s been cooking it up. He even has a waitress, Sparkles, who waits and serves everyone. Today he pulled out the cook book, Everyday Paleo.

For lunch I had two BLT wraps. They were similar to the B.A.T. shown below, sans avocado and mayo.

Dad fixed Everyday Paleo Beanless Chili for dinner. YUMMY! I wish he made more for leftovers.

He even made up a healthy treat, Paleo Apple Muffins. It’s amazing how quickly our taste buds have changed. Butter on the warm sugar-free muffin, hit the spot.

Rose surprised us with this sweet treat. She is finding peace with our new lifestyle now that she has realized that baking, occasionally, is still an option.

Prep Time: — | Cook Time: 13 min. | Difficulty: Easy | Servings: 24 small cookies

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
8 tablespoons refined coconut oil
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup dark chocolate (or semi-sweet) chocolate chips

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Whisk the coconut flour and the baking soda together in a med. bowl.
Mix together the coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, salt, and vanilla in a large bowl.

The consistency of these cookies are a bit flakey and soft. However, they are a fine replacement to the traditional version.
