Simple Seeds Wellness: all about the food...

This last week has been all about food. Wait a sec... how is that different than other weeks? It's not really but this is a good opportunity to share a couple of my new favorite recipes for all to enjoy. Remember my criteria which all of these fit... Taste, Simplicity and Feeling Alive.

BAKED APPLES WITH MAPLE CREAM

Baked Apples with Maple Cream

I have made this twice now each with different ingredients yet with the same delicious outcome.

~ 2nd time I used cranberry raspberry juice instead of apple cider(just what I had available)

~ Instead of maple mascarpone cheese you could use whip cream, vanilla ice cream, vanilla yogurt, almond milk, etc.

~ I cut the apples in half and then core which makes for smaller portion sizes and more nuts and dates per apple.

EGG & AVOCADO SALAD

Egg & Avocado Salad

Blend all ingredients with an immersion blender...

2 hard boiled eggs(peeled)

1 peeled avocado

1 1/2 tbsp brown mustard

salt & pepper to taste

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Optional: Red Onion, Other favorite seasoning mixes, Lime Juice, Pickles, Pepperoncinis

This is my own creation that I have been making on and off for my lunch the last couple weeks although I could see it as a great appetizer dip, on a piece of bread, or even scooped onto a tomato half. I change up the recipe each time depending on what I have in the fridge and it is always satisfying and fresh. Not to mention quick. Also, those are Crunch Master crackers which are gluten-free and tasty.
