Bullet Proof Coffee!

Ever notice how when you have a cup of black coffee on an empty stomach and you feel kind of nauseous?  

Ever notice how if you have a cup of coffee and you feel like you need just MORE coffee or find that you crave sugar throughout the day?  

This is because of the high levels of caffiene which raises your insullin levels and then sends your blood sugar on a roller coaster throughout the day. 

By adding FAT to your coffee, you will have less of these negative effects and actually FEEL GOOD after having a cup of coffee!  You will actually feel full, satisfied and you won't crave carbohydrates!  You will be able to concentrate longer, too!

The FATS you will be adding to your coffee are the saturated fats from butter and coconut oil. They are HIGHLY nutritious for the body!  The medium chain triglycerides of the coconut oil are ideal for burning fat, and these fats are NOT stored as fats and make your body a metabolic furnace!

Stuffed Peppers

I'm usually not a pepper fan, but when it comes to stuffed peppers I am lovin' it.  As we harvest are gardens, we may have a few extra peppers laying.around.  Don't worry, just stuff them.  The best thing is that you can freeze these and reheat them later.

Ingredients:

2 peppers - green, red, orange or yellow

1 lb spicy italian sausage (if using ground beef, add extra seasoning like Italian Seasonings)

1 small onion

2 cloves of garlic

1 tbsp of coconut oil (or butter)

3 small tomatoes diced

3 carrots peeled and grated

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Cut peppers in half and take out the seeds.  Place peppers in a square baking dish face down and roast in the oven 15 minutes before stuffing.  While peppers are roasting.  Chop up your small onion and garlic and saute in the coconut oil for 5 minutes.  Then add you meat.  Cook that for 5 minutes.  Then add your tomatoes.  Continue to the cook for another 10 minutes.  Then add your grated carrots for the last 5 minutes of cooking.

When the peppers are done roasting, take them out of the oven and flip them over.  Then stuff the peppers with the meat mixture.  Place back in the oven for another 20minutes.

Eat them right away or let the peppers cool down and toss in the freezer.

Apple Pork Roast

My meat CSA rocks.  I love the variety of cuts of meat that I get and it challenges me to be a culinary creative.  My hubby was home on vacation this week, so I had to amp up my cooking game for a few days.  The idea of a pork roast at first just had me thinking hot sticky cooking.  Not too good after these few days of scorching temperatures.  So I decided to use a crockpot and lighten the dish up with the sweet taste of apples.  This was a super easy recipe and was just so delicious.

Ingredients:

3 to 4 pound pork shoulder roast seasoned with salt and pepper. 

3 apples peeled and chopped

1 small onion chopped roughly

1/2 to 3/4 of jar of cinnamon flavored applesauce

cinnamon

Place the onions and apples at the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle with some cinnamon. Take the seasoned pork roast and place in a frying pan.  Just brown the outsides.  Then place the roast on top of the apples and onions.  Pour the applesauce over the roast.  Sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top.  Cover and cook on high for 8 hours.

The meat is so tender and goes well with the soft sweet apples.
