Sunny Day Pate Lunch

Quick little lunch today I whipped up this pate and topped it on cukes. Don't worry, it doesn't have to be sunny outside to enjoy this delicious pate, which can be served on cut up cucumbers, bread, celery sticks, or as a dip. See below for my recipe...

1 C. Sunflower seeds (soaked for a few hours in water then strained)
1 carrot, chopped
2 mini red bell peppers, chopped and seeded

1 stalk of Celery chopped
1 lemon, juiced
1 T. Red onion, chopped
1 T. Miso
1 T. Nutritional Yeast flakes

1-2 cloves of garlic, minced

Salt to taste
1/2 tsp. Cumin

Combine everything in food processor and process ☺
Enjoy!!!!

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies

Who says you can't have cookies for breakfast? These delicious treats beat a donut, muffin, or greasy hash browns any day.

Breakfast Cookies 

Ingredients:

2 Ripe Bananas, Mashed
3/4 C. Crunchy Peanut Butter
1/2 C. Applesauce (unsweetened)
1/4 C. Maple Syrup
1 Tsp. Vanilla
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Cinnamon
Dash of Ground Cloves
Dash of Ground Nutmeg
Pinch of Salt
1 1/2 C. Quick or Old Fashioned Oats
3/4 C. Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 C. Shredded Coconut (unsweetened)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silpart or parchment paper and set aside. Mix together the bananas, peanut butter, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla, and spices. Add in the oats, chocolate chips, and coconut; stir until well combined.
Scoop 2" rounds of the cookie mixture onto the baking sheet, placing a few more chocolate chips on top of each cookie. Bake for 20 minutes and allow to cool slightly on cooling rack. Enjoy!

Note: You can substitute by using almond butter instead of peanut butter.

Other ingredients that would be fun to add include: raisins, walnut, or even shredded zucchini. Ooohhhh, maybe I'll try the zucchini next time now that sounds delish!
