Sugar Free, Chocolate Free Brownies

Carob Brownie

These brownies are candida detox friendly. I have been really missing chocolate and while this really isn't chocolate it does help curve those "dessert" cravings.

You will need:
4 egg whites, whipped
1/2 cup stevia
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup carob powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (if you are going gluten free try any legal flour such as almond or buckwheat)
shredded coconut (optional)

Preheat oven at 325 degrees F. Prepare a small baking pan by rubbing it with butter and then a thin layer of your flour.

In a mixing bowl, combine baking powder, carob powder, salt and flour.
In another mixing bowl, combine egg whites, stevia, and vanilla extract.
Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients, bake for 18 minutes.

While it bakes it looks a little funny. This is a picture of it fully baked.
I use a plastic knife when cutting brownies to keep it from bunching, but I don't think you will have that problem with this batch. Enjoy!

Chex cereal crusted mahi

Chop or crush 2 cups of your favorite hex cereal. I used corn chex.

In a bowl: 2 c chex cereal crushed
1 tbls cayenne pepper
2 packets of stevia

With your thawed mahi fish, wash in cold water, pat dry with paper towel and coat with agave nectar or honey. Then coat in chex mixture.

Have your oven ready at 400 degrees and your baking pan coated with oil. ( I used Hokan Chili Oil)

Bake for about 20 min depending on how big your fillets. Fish is done when white and flakey.
Serve with orange salsa (previous post) and enjoy!

French Onion Soup

I have always been picky about my soups.  For a long time it was only ramen or lipton for me.  Now I love a great wonton soup or french onion.  French onion soup is the newest addition to my palate and it has stretched me and what I put in my soup.

Serving for 2

Needs:

1 yellow onion
3 tablespoons butter
4 slices (deli) swiss cheese
3 cups beef broth
1/4 -1/2 cup white wine
1 teaspoon garlic
cracked pepper to taste
3 tablespoons worceshire sauce
1 loaf french bread

turn oven to 350 degrees
slice your onion into thin strips
in a large pot saute onion, garlic and butter on med heat until onion is golden and wilted
add beef broth, white wine, worceshire sauce and pepper to the pot.
bring to a boil and then turn down the heat and simmer for about 8 minutes.
While sauteing your onion slice your french bread into slices and lightly toast them in the oven.
In 2 oven safe bowls poor your broth and onion into the bowls that are sitting on a cookie/oven sheet.
place one slice of bread in each bowl and then cover your bread and bowl with 2 slices of cheese each.
place bowls on sheet in the oven until cheese is melted but not bubbling.

Serve soup with the rest of your french bread slices and enjoy!
