  1. *** NEW RECIPE: 4 Ingredient Cheesy Quinoa Nuggets *** Seriously stop what you're doing, you need to make these EASY + DELICIOUS nuggets right now! Trust me, you probably already have all the ingredients to make em! Kids and adults alike will LOVE these nuggets. Dip em' in ketchup + mustard or BBQ sauce and ranch for the perfect EASY + HEALTHY meal. This recipe is sooooo EASY! Simply combine HOT cooked quinoa (important that it's freshly made quinoa, as that works as the binder), nutritional yeast, green onions, and salt, form into fritters and pan sear for the perfect little healthy compassionate nugget. Drop me a smiley face in the comments if you're gonna make these! 4 INGREDIENT CHEESY QUINOA NUGGETS Yield: About 20 Nuggets Ingredients: • 1 cup dry quinoa, thoroughly rinsed • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast • 4 green onions, white + green part, finely minced • 1 + 1/2 teaspoons salt • 1-2 tablespoons high heat oil (I like refined coconut oil) Directions: 1. Cook quinoa according to package directions. 2. Combine hot cooked quinoa with nutritional yeast, green onions, and salt. Salt to taste. Using a cookie dough scoop tightly form into desired nugget shapes. 3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add oil, once oil is hot add nuggets, being sure not to crowd the pan (you may need to make it 2 batches). Place on a paper towel lined plate to cool. Chef’s Notes: 1. Be sure to use HOT cooked quinoa, as the hot quinoa is actually the binder to this recipe.

  3. HOMEMADE CHUNKY MONKEY ICE CREAM 🍦 🙈 Are you tired of living under the tyranny of overripe bananas in a constant hamster wheel of baking banana bread? Have you or someone you know been forced to eat countless loafs only to discover yet another bunch of bananas ready to go? Take your power back. Make this ice cream. 🍌 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup milk 4 egg yolks 2 tsp vanilla 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup sugar, divided 4 very ripe bananas 115g dark chocolate 10g coconut oil Leftover chocolate olive oil cake- optional but very good In a small pot heat the heavy cream, milk, cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar. Bring to a simmer, add the vanilla. In a large bowl, whisk together the yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until tripled in size, thick enough to draw ribbons on the top of the batter. Using a ladle, carefully add one at a time the hot cream/milk to the egg mixture, whisking in between so the egg does not cook. The slower the better here unless you’re a pro. Once all the hot liquid is added, keep whisking to let the temperature come down, then add back to the original pot. Cook at low/medium heat, stirring consistency until the liquid is thickened and can coat the back of a spoon. In a separate bowl, mash 4 ripe bananas until completely broken down. Add the ice cream base to the bananas, mixing well. Chill until completely cold. You can speed this process up by using the freezer for 30 min. In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil, mixing well. Once the ice cream base is cold, add it to your ice cream machine and let freeze for about 20 minutes or per your usual instructions. In the last moments of freezing, pour in the liquid chocolate. Remove the ice cream from the machine and place it in a container. Gently fold in chunks of chocolate cake. Let freeze overnight before enjoying. . . . . . . . . . . . . #foodiesofinstagram #eats #instacool #foodstagram #instafood #foodgasm #delicious #foodoftheday #foodpics #benandjerrys #sweets #dessert #chocolate #pastry #bananabread #icecream
