Blender hollandaise sauce

One of our favorite weekend breakfast meals is Eggs Benedict. The trickiest part of the meal is the hollandaise sauce. I use to buy those little packages where you just add butter, but after reading the ingredients, I decided I'd learn to make it from scratch. The surprising thing is how easy it is to make! The ingredients are simple but sometimes the sauce can separate. This recipe is FOOLPROOF!

You need:
2 egg yolks (preferably from pastured eggs)
1/8 of Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
5 tbs of melted butter
a dash of hot sauce

Makes 4 servings.

In a blender, combine everything EXCEPT the butter and blend on high for 5 seconds.

Heat the butter in a pan and after it has melted and is good and hot, transfer it to a glass measuring cup. (You can put it in the microwave but I personally don't use the microwave often because I believe it changes the integrity of food.)

Turn the blender on high and pour the butter into the egg mixture in a thin, steady stream. It will thicken immediately. Keep the sauce warm by placing the blender container in a pan of hot tap water.

Viola!! The easiest hollandaise sauce you'll ever make.

I added this beautiful hollandaise sauce on top of some homemade sourdough english muffins, stacked with proscuitto and 2 poached eggs. The saltiness of the proscuitto combined with the tartness from the lemon in the hollandaise made us feel like we were eating breakfast at the Ritz Carlton.

P.S. The sauce does not reheat well because the butter will separate so just use it all and enjoy!

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas If you need a protein, fiber packed snack, Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas is an easy one to satisfy a sweet tooth as well! I like to soak my chickpeas overnight in warm water with a bit of whey prior to cooking them. This helps break down the phytic acid.  This is a very forgiving recipe and you can change it up adding your favorite seasoning. If you like spicy, try adding some chili powder. Ingredients 2 cups of soaked and cooked chickpeas or grab a can of garbanzo beans 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Instructions Preheat oven to 375°F. Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander. Mix honey, cinnamon, melted coconut oil, cinnamon and salt. Toss chickpeas in the mixture. Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or up to 15 minutes longer if you want them crispy.

Fluffy dairy free pancakes

Fluffy dairy free pancakes Sadly, I’ve been dairy free due to my nursling who has a dairy issue. This has called for a good bit  of creativeness because dairy is such a big part of my family’s diet. I learned early on that water makes a sufficient substitute for fluffy dairy free pancakes; or almond milk, cashew milk or coconut milk if you want to get fancy. I’m pretty particular about processing and ingredients so I take great strides to make my own or find minimally processed ingredients so sometimes water just has to work. I have also  found that eggs can make up taste when water is used. These pancakes are pretty fluffy on their own but I used large biscuit cutters to make them thick. You could use egg rings as well. If you choose to use to do this, be sure to oil the inside of the rings really well. These are by far a favorite pancake recipe.  Ignore my slightly burnt pastured, home cured bacon. I also use this same recipe to make bacon pancakes which is a...

Amazed again!

I was speaking to Don, the owner of the lot we purchased today and he exclaimed, I know someone that knows you! Gina Patterson! Hmmm...I know I'm pregnant and losing some brain cells slowly but the name didn't ring a bell. I told him that I had no idea who that was and then he cautiously asked, how are things with the baby? I said, Great, although, we did have a scare a few weeks ago. I told him the story but then affirmed that we had some amazing prayer warriors petitioning on behalf of Lana and I and God heard the prayers and the problem disappeared. Then he said, well, that's how I thought you know Gina. I received an email from her asking to pray for you and your baby. I was afraid to ask about the baby in fear that something bad may have happened. So somehow through a course of prayer chains, emails, and phone calls, this prayer warrior saint, Gina, received word about my situation and then turned on her list of prayer warriors to get them interceding on our behal...
