Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies (vegan, grain free, cane-sugar free, dairy free, egg free)
Ingredients
-1/4 cup coconut flour
-2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
-1/2 teaspoon liquid stevia (vanilla or cocoa flavor is nice)
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-1/4 teaspoon ginger
Preheat oven to 375
In a food processor:
5. Blend, blend, blend, pulse, pulse, pulse
In a separate bowl:
5. You can either line the 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray oil and dust with coconut flour. I used oil & flour.
6. Bake 30 minutes or until sides start to harden and crisp up
Notes
*The middle will be moist, but will firm up as it cools, but overall stays rather moist.
*I would wait several hours before cutting into the brownies (if you can) or wait until the next day (yeah right).
*Top with melted chocolate (I melted 1/2 of this chocolate bar with 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice)

Happy Halloween 2011 and Easy-Peasy, Delicious Split Pea Soup!
Plus it’s sort of ghoulish looking don’t you think?
-2 bay leaves, removed before serving
4. Drain and rinse peas, add to pot.
8. You’ll know when the soup is ready, the peas will be soft and creamy.
Notes
*This dish can easily be made vegetarian, and I have made it thus many times. I omit the ham and add homemade vegetable broth in place of the water.

not sure how I missed this one…have to have it…NOW! maybe dessert tonight if I can muster the energy to messy another dish?!
Oh yes, you’re a big pumpkin girl too. This is a very fun drink. And I’m giving you a high-five right now – I totally hear you with the dishes (sometimes I shed a little tear when I look at the disasters I make in the kitchen). Luckily my husband does them quite a bit, but he’s super slow, where I can get them done in a flash (so we can watch that Netflix). Left to him we would be up until midnight. I like to give Scott a hard time about how s.l.o.w. and meticulous he is. But we make a perfect match and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Have a great night.
Mike is the dish boy in our house…that’s the rule, whoever cooks doesn’t clean. I am grateful for that…even when a few of the hand-washed dishes has food remnants stuck on them!! Creating good food in the kitchen is never a clean endeavor…and even if i manage to clean up everything after myself along the way…feeding 5 bodies inevitably makes it messy again! Some days I just want to leave it, I REALLY hate doing dishes. But I REALLY hate the mess more!!
breakfast….delicious…I left the water out to make it thicker, cut w/ half Coconut Dream Milk, and added 2T chia seeds!
