Garlic sweet potato pancake and poached egg

Today started off rough but cooking this dish turned everything around. One pancake was filling for me I hope you enjoy

Paleo "Egg in the hole"

The presentation of this breakfast is so colorful, the colors from the green onions, cranberries, dates, and almonds screams 'taste me'!!!

...the drizzel and bacon pushes this dish waay over the edge

Although this is not the 'original' Paleo version,  I  used what was in my cabinets and created my version as you can to just try and keep it paleo as possible.

Here's what I used:

•Preheat oven °375

• parchment paper lined baking sheet

• 1 good size Acorn squash I was able to get 5 slice close to 3/4 of and inch ( not too thin), seeds removed

• 3 pitted dates

• 1/4 cup raw sliced almonds

• 2TBSP dried cranberries 

• 4 eggs 

• melted 1TBSP coconut oil

• sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste 

• pure maple syrup, raw honey, Agave, or molasses for drizzeling *optional 

*** I have a few blends I created to my desire of part raw honey, agave, molasses, coconut extract, vanilla extract, and maple extract

•cooked bacon *optional

~place cleaned acorn slices on baking sheet

~season the squash with salt and pepper

~ bake for 20mins 

Now...

~put cranberries, dates, and almonds on cutting surface and chop together to combine them, chopping into tiny crumbles 

~when ready, remove squash from oven

 ~brush with melted coconut oil 

~crack an egg into the middle of each acorn squash slice 

~season the egg with salt and cracked black pepper 

~cover the top of the squash with the cranberry, almond, date crumble

~bake at °375 for 10mins or until egg is ready to your doneness

~serve with or without bacon

~ 'to drizzel or not to drizzel'??? that is the question well, I  love to drizzel 

ENJOY!!!

Bacon & Cheddar cheese waffles

"IT'S IN THE MIX"!!! bacon and cheese in a waffle awesome with more bacon on top, this recipe makes 2 large waffles 

This morning I wanted something sweet & spicy to eat after my 3.88 mile run interval  (smile) and this is what happened.

This is a easy meal from basic waffle mix that requires water only, but from scratch is aways better but I wanted quick and easy 5-6 ingredient quickness.

~diagonally sliced green onion for toppings

~1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

~1 cup pancake/waffle mix (that require only water to mix)

~1 cup water

~1 TBSP butter

~raw honey or pure maple syrup to drizzel  

•cook bacon and crumble 2 slices to add to mix save one piece for the topping, set aside 

• heat and grease waffle iron with coconut oil 

•in a medium bowl combine waffle mix, cheese, bacon, and water

• mix just to combine **do not over mix

***I added a few drops of

•butter flavor 

•coconut extract 

•vanilla extract 

***this recipe makes 2 large waffles so divide accordingly

• cook according to desired color (i like mines crispy)

•then continue with the remaining batter

•top with butter, green onions
