GAPS honey mustard

equal parts in a jar:

plain yellow mustard
sour cream
honey

stir up.
eat.

GAPS pancakes

1 banana
2 tbsp peanut butter
3 eggs
bowl of finely chopped pecans

blend first 3 together with a stick blender.

butter your pan

drop by tablespoonfuls on a hot pan. you want the pancakes to be 2-3 inches wide because they are really soft and hard to flip if they are any bigger than that.

right away after you pour the batter on the pan, sprinkle some pecans on top.

flip quickly. these cook REALLY fast.

the recipe seems really small but it makes enough for me and my 2 boys to eat enough to be full. i will make a double recipe when daddy is home and there is always a lot of leftovers.

GAPS candy

1 cup raisins
1 cup nuts of your choice (i like to mix a bunch together)
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tbsp honey

dump in the food processor and blend.

roll into 1" balls.

caesar dressing

1 tsp dijon mustard

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

3 egg yolks

2 anchovies

1 clove of garlic

cauliflower pizza crust

2cups frozen cauliflower

1 egg
coconut flour

1.) cook the cauliflower until it's soft.

2.) blend the cauliflower, cheese and egg in the food processor.

3.) add 1T of coconut flour at a time until it's as stiff as cookie dough

4.) form into 4"-5" circles on a greased cookie sheet.

2 eggs
coconut flour

1.) shred the cheese in the food processor with the shredding plate. transfer to another bowl and put the regular blade in.

5.) bake for about 7-9 minutes. at 350*.
