Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cup Rolled oats
  • 2 cup Oat Milk
  • 1 Ripe banana
  • 1 tbsp Chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Put all into a High Powered blender (if it works it will do, though I use a Vitamix or equivalent to really make it into a smooth pancake batter)
  • Add frozen berries and/or chocolate (optional but highly recommended) Let sit for 10-15 minutes to let it all come together and to let the chia seeds bloom
  • Heat skillet to more or less medium heat (seriously I don’t know the ideal heat for pancakes, it’s a consistent dance between low, medium, & high to keep them consistent- not burnt & not mushy).
  • Coat pan with coconut oil (or oil of your choice). Drop a 1/4-1/2 cup of batter. (I usually do a small test pancake for heat & consistency & cook time).
  • Let cook until bubbles come through the middle of the pancake! It won’t come off the pan easily until that side is sufficiently cooked. Turn down heat if burning.
  • Flip & cook for half the time. Remove from pan & store in covered plate/pan/or in the oven.
  • Taste Test is always required as the chef! I’m sure you’re hungry by now. Repeat Steps 4-6 until done! Serve with maple syrup and nut butter
  • Repeat Steps 1-7 every Sunday! (or any day of the week your heart desires.)

Ingredients
  

For the shortbread base layer

  • 1 1/2 cup Packed fine almond flour
  • 3 1/2 tbsp Melted coconut oil
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

For the Gooey nut butter layer

  • 2/3 cup Smooth nut butter
  • 1/3 cup Pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 cup Coconut cream

For the chocolate layer

  • 1 cup Chocolate chips
  • 1.5 tbsp Coconut or nut oil

Instructions
 

Shortbread layer

  • Pre-heat oven to 350° F (175° C). Line an 8×8 in tray with parchment paper. (Sometimes you have to improvise – I had an 8x13ish tray and put a pyrex tupperware in one side to shorten the baking area which works for this!)
  • Mix all shortbread layer ingredients together thoroughly.
  • Press into tray evenly. Poke holes with a fork a few times.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. You are looking for a light golden color. Let cool

Middle layer

  • In a pot combine all gooey nut butter layer ingredients over medium heat. Stir until incorporated and just starts to bubble (keep stirring).
  • Pour over cooled base layer.
  • Place in fridge for 1 hour or freezer for 20-30 minutes. (I prefer the fridge)

For the top layer

  • Chocolate gems and coconut oil in pot over medium heat, stir until melted and combined.
  • Pour over chilled layers and return to fridge.
  • Remove when cooled. Pull out of tray with parchment and cut into thin rectangles! (slice the whole thing in 1/2 and then slice 8 ish times)

Vegetable Burritos

I take back what I said about eggs being the perfect food. In fact, burritos are the perfect food First of all, you can make ANYTHING into a burrito. I’ve even made burritos out of peanut butter, apples, and trail mix. Because let’s face it, everything tastes better when it’s wrapped in a delicious flour tortilla. Pre-made burritos are an excellent trail food because they are super filling, very portable, and pretty cheap depending on what you put in them. A basic rice, veggie & cheese burrito can cost less $3 per portion and is one of the most nutritious meals you can eat. They can be made in one pot and enjoyed immediately, or wrapped up in tin foil for a summit snack. You can also easily modify this recipe to make tacos instead!

Gouda, Mushroom, & Truffle Salt Mac & Cheese

Vegetarian
In this one pot dinner, Gouda and mushrooms come together with pasta in a creamy bechamel sauce all sprinkled with delectable truffle salt to make an irresistible bowl of the most heavenly, elevated, yet easily attainable Mac and Cheese you’ve ever had! It sounds complicated, fancy, and time consuming, but I swear it’s not! Only a handful of ingredients most of which you probably already have and only one stovetop pot and you’ll be in heaven in no time. Before I have baked the final pasta with a breadcrumb topping which I also highly recommend. However, stopping at the stovetop stage does keep the pasta at an incredibly delicious creamy stage that I honestly probably now prefer.

Otherwise, you’ve got sweetness from 3 ripe bananas and honey. A couple eggs to bind it together. And did I mention PEANUT BUTTER for an extra creamy sweetness and added protein. It’s honestly the banana bread that has it all…or rather it’s the stuff it doesn’t have that makes it so great… and it all comes together quickly in your blender or Magic Bullet!

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • Baking spray / olive oil spray
  • 3 Bananas ripe or over ripe
  • 2 cup Quick cooking oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2/3 cup Peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Spray small bread pan (small enough to fit in your slow cooker).
  • Preheat slow cooker on high heat (the quickest time setting; mine is 4 hours)
  • Combine rest of ingredients except peanut butter in a blender until we’ll combined.
  • Pour ½ batter into pan.
  • Dot batter evenly with spoonfuls of peanut butter. Swirl a knife through the peanut butter to slightly spread peanut butter through batter.
  • Pour rest of batter on top. Place pan in slow cooker.
  • Roll up some aluminum foil to place underneath pan if needed to help hold pan up. Place lid on top but insert a rolled up napkin or piece of aluminum foil between lid and slow cooker to allow steam to escape.
  • Cook for 2-3 hours (will depend largely on the intensity of your slow cooker). Keep an eye on it and touch the top and do the toothpick test to check doneness.
  • While cooking do not allow too much water to build up underneath the lid. If that happens, place a thicker piece of napkin underneath the lid to allow more steam to escape.

Easy Ramen Noodle Soup

Easy Ramen Noodle Soup

Meat Based, Vegetarian
Instant Ramen is not only incredibly cheap, but it’s durable, lasts forever, and those salty noodles are super satisfying. We’ve dressed it up a little to make it more filling and nutritious, but still kept the cost down with this recipe. You can use any instant ramen you prefer, and we recommend trying a brand from an Asian market, as the noodles are much better. Maybe you can even break out your chopsticks for this one!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Instant ramen noodles
  • 4 Heads of baby Bok Choy
  • 1 cup Baby Bella mushrooms
  • 1/2 lb Ground turkey or beef Optional (omit if vegetarian)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 pat Butter

Toppings

  • Sriracha
  • Soy sauce

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Baby Bok Choy by chopping off the base and pulling the stalks off individually. Chop the large stalks into quarters. Smaller stalks can be left as is.
  • Chop mushrooms into bite size pieces.
  • On a medium heat, saute Baby Bok Choy with mushrooms and a pat of butter. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir occasionally. If you have a big enough pan you can fry the eggs in this pan, otherwise, use a seperate pan to fry them.
  • Soak the noodles in boiling hot water
  • Once noodles are soft, add the flavor packet, baby Bok choy & mushroom mixture to each bowl, stirring into the noodles.
  • If adding ground meat, add at this stage and stir into soup. (Only use cooked meat! If you don’t have cooked meat already, you’ll need to do so as a separate step while cooking your vegetables).
  • Top with the fried egg, one on each bowl of soup.
  • Top with sriracha and soy sauce. Enjoy!

This is one of our favorite breakfasts and we have eaten it multiple times per week, for several years. Eggs are essentially the perfect food. Tasty, nutritional, and very inexpensive. When scrambled with the satisfying starch of a potato, some black beans and your favorite hot sauce on top, you’ll look forward to having it day after day. With the cost of this meal being less than $2 per portion, you really can’t go wrong!

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz Whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Pour 4 oz of heavy cream into an 8 oz mason jar. Screw the lid tight.Shake mason jar and keep shaking. Then shake some more for approximately 15 minutes. The contents will go from liquid to hard to shake then will go to a solid. You want to hear the solids make a thunking sound against the jar for a few minutes.
  • Bravo! You made butter! Remove the solids from the jar. Don’t toss the liquid, that’s buttermilk. You can save the buttermilk and use it for other recipes, or you can discard it. I like to put a few chicken thighs into a stasher bag and add the buttermilk with salt, pepper, and herbs then allow to chill overnight. It makes super tasty buttermilk chicken.
  • Back to the butter at hand. Place the butter into a small bowl. Pour cold water over the butter and use your hands or a wooden spoon to rinse the butter, pressing out any remaining buttermilk. Discard water and repeat a few more times.Place your butter into a smaller jar or roll into a log with wax paper or plastic wrap. Keep in a cool area for three days or in the fridge for up to a week.
  • VARIATIONS Flavor my butter! I like salted butter, so I add a pinch of salt when I add my buttermilk to the mason jar. When done, you can add additional flavoring like fresh or dried herbs. For a sweeter variation, skip the salt, churn and rinse your butter then add honey! Oh, so good

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Eggplant
  • 1 Red onion
  • 6 Garlic cloves
  • 4 Zucchini
  • 250 g Cherry tomatoes
  • 1 Red bell pepper
  • 75 g Parmesan
  • 4 Chicken breasts
  • Olive oil
  • Rosemary & thyme
  • Salt & pepper
  • Balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Cut the eggplant in small pieces. Cook in a large pot, medium heat, for about 15min, until the eggplant is very soft. Reduce the heat to low (keep it that way until the end of the recipe, it will continue to cook the ingredients slowly).
  • While waiting, heat some olive oil in a smaller pan. Chop the onion, and cook it on medium heat for about 10min. Add to the eggplant. In the large pot, add the chopped garlic, the rosemary and the thyme.
  • Repeat the same operation (10min in the small pan with a bit of oil, then add to the large pot) in that order: – Tomatoes & garlic cloves cut in half – Zucchini -small cubes – Bell pepper -small cubes
  • Add the parmesan to the large pot. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the chicken into small pieces, then cook it on the same pan that you use for the vegetables. Tip: if you want the chicken to be grilled, leave it for about 7 min on one side, without touching. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Done! Serve with the side of your choice (rice, quinoa, pasta etc.). You can add a bit of balsamic vinegar if you like. Bon appétit

We make this meal several times a week! Ground Turkey, pre-steamed rice, and any kind of veggies you want make this meal super versatile and easy to cook. As another one-pot meal, it’s incredibly simple to make, and relatively inexpensive. We like it because it’s really nutritious and also very filling. When we’re extra hungry, we just add more vegetables or meat.
