Calendar January 28, 2011 | Posted by Kathryn
So tasty for breakfast or lunch! Try and eat directly after preparing as the bacon and sweet potatoes will be fresh.
I make this times 4 and it eat when I need a quick something. Yum!
Ingredients
2/3 cup diced sweet potato 
2 eggs 
2 rashes of bacon, diced using meat only 
1tbs oil 
4tbs dill, finely chopped 
2tbs mayonnaise 
2tbs lemon juice 
Instructions
Boil eggs in water until cooked. Peel and dice. 
Boil sweet potato for 4-5 minutes 
Heat over skillet medium-high. Add olive oil and bacon and cook until slightly crunchy.
In a small bowl, mix dill, mayonnaise and lemon juice. 
Place eggs, sweet potato, bacon and mayonnaise sauce into a medium size serving bowl and combine well.
If you aren’t a dill fan it tastes great with thyme.

Stuffed Squash

Calendar January 28, 2011 | Posted by Kathryn

Check out this recipe on the Crossfit LA website. It looks and sounds delicious. I’m going to try it this week!  -Stacy


What you’ll need:
4 sweet dumpling squash
1 package ground beef- about a pound
1 onion chopped
1/4 c chopped dried cranberries
1/3 c chopped dried apricots
1/4 c chopped pecans
1 t thyme
1 t oregano
salt, pepper and olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Chop tops of squashes and scoop out seeds, place in baking dish and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil- place tops next to squash while baking
Bake in oven for 20 minutes 
While squash is baking saute onions for a few minutes and add ground beef, apricots, cranberries, pecans and seasoning. Do not fully cook mixture.
Remove squash from oven, stuff with ground beef mixture and put back in the oven ( you could pre-cook squash a day ahead, just need to cook a little longer to fully heat it when stuffed.)
Bake in oven for another 15-20 minutes(this depend on the size of your sweet dumpling squash) tops should be slightly browned and toasty, you will have a little extra meat depending on the size of your squash! save for another or stuff something else!

Done!

Pumpkin Muffins

Calendar January 28, 2011 | Posted by Kathryn
These are good.  Stacy, I think you should “Mess” with this a little though.  Just a “touch” dry and not a whole lot of pumpkin flavor
1/2 c almond flour (I added another 1-2T to make it a bit thicker)
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 c canned pumpkin (I used TJ’s Organic Pumpkin)
1 banana
1 c dates
4 t cinnamon
1/4 t cloves
1/4 t allspice
3 eggs
1 t vanilla
2 T almond butter
1. Preheat oven to 375 and line muffin tray with 18 muffin cups.
2. Mix almond flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
3. In a food processor, combine the remaining ingredients and puree.
4. Transfer into a bowl and stir in almond flour mixture.
5. Spoon into muffin cups until 1/2 full.
6. Bake 18 min or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on rack for 20 minutes
