This is some delicious grain-free French toast!! Mmmmm-Mmm!
The recipe is super easy: basically just make a normal French toast batter from eggs, coconut milk and cinnamon and dredge some coconut bread (http://www.marksdailyapple.com/coconut-flour/) in it. Fry it in ghee, and serve with maple syrup!!

This recipe came about for two reasons. The first is that I have been living with my in-laws who eat a fairly SAD (standard American diet) and LOVE their ice-cream sandwiches. So I have been sitting around watching them eat their delicious looking store-bought ice-cream sandwiches. Not only do they look delectable because it is soooo HOT out, but I am also pregnant on top of it! It is just a losing battle for me!

The second reason these came about was that I caught my husband sneaking licks of molasses this morning, so I thought it was time for a good molasses cookie, and voila! these were born!

Ingredients:

• 1 c. roasted nut butter ( I used almond)
• 1/2 c. rapadura, sucanat, or other dry sweetener
• scant 1/4 c. molasses
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tbs. ground ginger (I used fresh, use less if you are using powdered)
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

• 1/2 pint vanilla ice-cream (use Coconut Bliss, home-made, or Haagan Daas!)

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together, except ice-cream.
2. Chill in refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
3. Form into balls and place on greased cookie sheet.
4. Bake for 12 mins. at 350 degrees.
5. Cool and freeze for 10 minutes, meanwhile take ice-cream out of the freezer and let soften for the same time.
6. Layer ice-cream between two cookies, smoosh together and re-freeze! YUM!!

So this is not going to be a very precise recipe because it always changes depending on wat I have in the fridge! This is definitely NOT a boring tuna or salmon salad, and it is simply YUMMY! I like to serve it with crackers or chips, but you could use it on a salad or sandwhich too!

Make a big batch and you may have some leftovers for the next days lunch… maybe!

Ingredients:

• 1-2 cans tuna or salmon
• salt, pepper, tamari, hot sauce etc.

• 1/2 can olives, chopped

• 1/2 bell pepper or other pepper, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1-2 tbs. home-made or store bought mayonaise
• 1-2 tsp. dijon mustard
• anything else you find in your fridge that looks yummy!

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and serve!
