Breakfast
Now that autumn has arrived, and colder temperatures will only increase through the coming months -- having this slow cooker oatmeal recipe in your arsenal will benefit you for months on end.
Slow Cooker Oatmeal Recipe:
1 1/2 cups gluten-free, organic, steel-cut oats
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
6 cups of coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Spray slow cooker with olive oil spray, so it doesn't stick to sides.
Combine all ingredients and add to slow cooker.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours, stirring every hour or so.
When desired thickness has occurred, your oatmeal is ready to enjoy. Add any fresh fruit or raw nut toppings you desire.
These are tasty little muffins that are sure to satisfy that sweet craving in the afternoon.
This is a crazy good way to start the day. For an antioxidant filled breakfast this morning, I pulled a recipe from my 14 Day Eat Real Food Cleanse.
This is called the Beauty Bowl and I had it with 2 hard boiled eggs.
It was very satisfying and filling, and the taste is like sunshine in a bowl.

I love Autumn and apples. This year I made homemade applesauce and apple butter. Leaving in Grey County we are so close to the local orchards in Meaford, that I make several trips over each fall to stock up and make applesauce. While good on its own, I also like to make other apple treats, like these gluten-free, dairy-free muffins.
I'm not big on almond flour, and to be honest it is quite pricey. Coconut flour is a great alternative if you have the right recipe. It is also pretty economical when you only use 1/2 cup in a recipe. Mind you, you must like the coconut flavour for these muffins to be a hit, the flavour is definitely coconut and apple. Yum! 2 of my favs.
