Avocado Grapefruit Salad
1 small red onion
2 grapefruits
2 avocados
extra virgin olive oil
sea salt/pepper to taste
Slice the onion very thinly, peel and cut grapefruits into wedges, slice avocados and combine with olive oil/salt/pepper. Enjoy!
Coconut Rice
2 cups of organic brown rice (I like jasmine or basmati for this recipe)
coconut oil
14oz. can of coconut milk
2 cups of water
chopped dates (to taste, sweetens recipe)
1/4 cup organic shredded dry coconut
1tbsp. butter
Toast dry rice in coconut oil by stirring until the rice has a nutty aroma. Pour water and coconut milk over rice, add chopped dates and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until all the liquid is absorbed (about 40 minutes). Toast shredded coconut in melted butter over low heat. Add toasted coconut to cooked rice, enjoy!
Mock CornNuts
1 Can of Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained and rinsed
Seasoning of choice (like sea salt, cumin, paprika, pepper, garlic)
Olive or coconut oil
Combine chickpeas with about 2tbsp. of olive oil (enough to lightly coat). Spread onto a baking sheet, and add seasoning. Bake at 400 for about 30 minutes (stirring occasionally) until crunchy. This recipe satisfies the crunch craving!
