food recipes that are not only delicious but they're satisfying they're yummy to

to my channel we make lots of delicious healthy recipes here and let's go ahead
and get into it so the first thing we're making are these chocolate chip blondies
because let's face it what is more comforting than a nice decadent blondie
so I'm starting off with some almond butter but you can definitely substitute
this for any kind of nut or seed butter that you have on hand or you want to use
to that I'm going to be adding in a couple of eggs now I haven't tried this
with a flax egg so if you try this with flax eggs and it works let me know down
in the comments below so that I can see and other people concede too so try to
whisk that together a bit depending on how thick or how runny your nut butter
is that will depend on how much it's going to take for you to whisk them
together but I find that the egg really helps to kind of break up the nut butter
and get it nice and smooth because we don't want chunks of it then to that I'm
going to be adding in some melted coconut oil and this is gonna further
help the blondie to really mix together nice and thoroughly so that our wet
ingredients turn out nice and smooth and all the measurements for everything will
be left in the description box below along with my free healthy dessert ebook
that if you haven't gotten yet I would definitely suggest downloading that it's
free and it has my top healthy desserts great ones similar to this blondie one
and once I've made time and time again so to that I'm adding coconut sugar
which is great because it's lower on the glycemic index and it's also less
refined so anything time that we can choose foods that are closer to its
natural state the better a little bit of vanilla for flavor and then I am folding
that in until it is nice and smooth so next up it is time for the dry
ingredients so to that I'm adding in some almond flour as well as a tiny bit
of coconut flour and I find that this blend really helps the texture turn out
perfect a pinch of Himalayan salt as well as some baking soda which is just
gonna help them kind of rise and develop so then just slowly fold together the
dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until everything is nice and combined
once your dough looks like this go ahead and add in some dairy free chocolate
chips and fold those in until they are nice and incorporated and if you really
like nuts in your Blondie's or brownies you can definitely add in some walnuts
here or pecans if you so choose but I'm definitely one of those people who
prefer my brownies and Blondie's nut like chunky nut free so go ahead and
press your dough pan into an 8x8 sheet and I find it a lot easier to line it
with parchment paper because once it bakes off you can just pull it out and
cut it up so after baking for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees I bring it out of
the oven I like to sprinkle a little bit of sea salt on top of my like chocolate
desserts because I find it enhances the flavor and I really like the combo of
salty and sweet but that's totally optional I allow them to cool for about
15 minutes before pulling them out and then I'm slicing mine into 9 giant bars
but you can definitely slice this into smaller bites if you want to make them
for an event or you just want to make like more of a smaller bite so you can
make 9 large ones you can make 16 18 whatever you like but I like when I have
like a good sized blondie if I'm having a blondie anyways they turned out so
delicious this is definitely a really good classic recipe that you can keep
coming back to and everyone is going to love it next up we are making jicama
fries so if you don't know what jicama is you can find it usually in your
grocery store I bought mine pre-cut up because it is quite a hard vegetable
you'd have to peel it and then cut it up so just to make it easier I bought mine
pre-cut then I'm going to be pouring some boiling water over it and
letting that sit for 10 minutes and this really helps to kind of pre cook them
because we want them to get nice and crispy after you've let them sit for
about 10 minutes I'm adding in some avocado oil some Himalayan salt some
paprika as well as some garlic powder and you can definitely change up the
seasoning as to what you like I just find that this blend of seasoning works
really well and then I toss them in it so if you're unfamiliar with jicama it's
a really great vegetable because it's lower in carbohydrate so if you're doing
a lower carb diet or you're going keto this can be a really good kind of fry
option for you because they taste delicious but they're lower in carbs and
your normal potato so I just line a baking sheet again with some parchment
paper you want to make sure it's greased so that it doesn't stick and then lay
them out single you make sure they're not on top of each other or too close
together because that will prevent them from getting nice and crisp and after
about 25 minutes in the oven you have these wonderfully golden crispy fries
that taste so good and are good for you and then we are making a paleo grilled
cheese so I'm gonna be using a sweet potato toast for this but you can
definitely use your favorite paleo bread I find sweet potato toast is a great
option for those of you who can't find a paleo bread near you if you want a
recommendation for a paleo bread I really love unbundle Isha's breads but
if you can't find one honestly sweet potato toast is so versatile so I make
my soup potato toast and I have that on hand in either the fridge of the freezer
to use as you would bread so this time I'm just taking some dairy free cheese
and some and nitrate-free bacon in the middle of the cheese and kind of
layering that on top like you would a normal grilled cheese and I find that
the flavor combo is honestly so delicious and you get that comforting
vibe of like the melted cheese still with your sweet potato toast so then you
will cook it like you would normally cook your grilled cheese for a few
minutes until it is golden on one side and then flip it over and cook it until
it is gold on the other one and honestly this
turned out so good it is so satisfying and delicious you are definitely going
