A great dish to serve to celebrate the beginning of Fall. Serve with sweet italian sausage and additional veggies for a filling home-cooked meal. Or, if you're vegan, a plate of root veggies and hummus alongside this dish goes wonderful too!

Brush the oil mixture onto each slice of potato. Sprinkle some additional sea salt on to each oiled round. 4.Bake the sweet potato rounds 35-40 minutes. (Flip them once halfway through baking. And spoon some more of the oil /herb mixture on top) 5.While baking the sweet potatoes- slice your tomatoes and avocado and cook your bacon until crispy. (Note: to keep the avocado from turning brown drizzle a little lime juice on each piece.) 6.When the sweet potatoes are done cooking -make your sliders. Place pieces of bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado in between two slices of potato. Smear a little mayo on one of the potatoes. (mayo is optional) Use a toothpick to hold the slider together, serve and enjoy! ![]() I love a good meatball. I grew up in an Italian family, my dad was always cooking up ziti, spaghetti and lasagna. When I found out I could no longer eat gluten or dairy my first thought was "how am I going to enjoy Italian food?" But since getting in the kitchen and whipping up recipes, the niche I've found is taking comfort foods and making them healthy and nutritious. So much of what we ate as kids was empty calories and artificial ingredients. These meatballs are purely high quality meat, organic veggies and gluten-free oats. Serve hot with your favorite gluten-free italian dish or by themselves with a side salad like I do for lunch. Ingredients: 1 Lb. Grass-fed beef or lean ground turkey (I always use turkey for these) 1 large organic sweet white onion 1 large organic green bell pepper 1 large organic red bell pepper 1/2 cup gluten free oats (though I tolerate gf oats, omit for paleo, grain-free & whole 30) 1 TBSP fresh garlic 1 TBSP chopped basil Sea Salt Drizzle of Olive Oil Instructions: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and spray all twelve cups in a muffin pan with olive oil spray. Set aside. In your Ninja or Vitamix blender add in all ingredients, adding the meat first. Blend until vegetables are chopped and the mixture is well mixed. Spoon out meatball mixture and form medium-large size meatballs and place in greased muffin tin by hand (they should almost fit the muffin cup entirely). Bake for 35 minutes or until cooked throughout. Serve hot and enjoy! ![]() What you will need: 1 Head Of Cauliflower 1 - 2 TBSP of the fat of your choosing (coconut oil, butter substitute, raw butter, olive oil) Sea Salt to taste Additional Herbs (Turmeric for an Indian flavor, Basil for a hint of Thai, Black Pepper for added spice) Food Processor Directions: Heat oil/butter over medium/medium high heat in a frying pan until hot. Cut cauliflower into florets, and then cut florets in half. Place in food processor and chop until fine. (You will see it resembles rice) Scoop from processor into hot pan and fry it up with chosen seasonings for approximately 10-15 minutes or until desired consistency is achieved. Do not let it cook too long or it may become to soft. I kept mine a little crunchy, so it was heartier. Serve hot and enjoy! ![]() I love these scrumptious little buggers. They are tasty and filling and pair so well with breakfast, lunch or dinner items. They do take some time to prepare, but they are worth it. They also freeze fantastically well to be reheated for a snack or a meal later. Ingredients 5-6 medium zucchini Tapioca Starch (make sure you have a good amount on hand, I don't measure, I just make up a bowl of it to toss the cakes' in before I cook them.) Sea Salt to taste Garlic Powder to taste Olive Oil Instructions On medium heat, warm olive oil in a frying pan until lightly sizzling. Grate the zucchini finely into a bowl, I got fancy and upgraded myself to a food processor since these photos which is WAY EASIER and SAFER on the hands!! Press as much of the liquid out as possible. Prep a large, shallow bowl with Tapioca starch to toss the zucchini in, mix in sea salt and garlic to the starch. Once the moisture has been drained from the zucchini, form patties and toss in the powdered mixture, making sure to coat all sides of the patty. Cook in olive oil, turning once the bottom is crispy and golden brown. *caution: the oil will spatter, so we use a frying pan shield when we cook them :) Enjoy warm with a sprinkling of sea salt! A great super-food snack is dehydrated or oven-roasted kale, except when you find it in the supermarkets it can be quite pricey. My lovely friend and fellow healthy-foodie Kaity taught me her recipe for this yummy, crispy, healthy treat that's quick and easy.
Ingredients: 6 oz. fresh kale (I used organic bagged kale from Trader Joes) Sea Salt Olive oil or coconut oil (I used olive) Any other seasonings of your choice! (I chose garlic powder) (Kaity uses garlic and black pepper) Directions: Preheat oven to 275 degrees Scatter kale in a single layer on a jelly roll pan Sprinkle with olive or coconut oil (not too much! it will make the leaves too moist) Sprinkle with sea salt and herbs and spices of choices Bake until crisp. (20-30 minutes.) Kaitys Note: Leaves should be CRISP, all the way. Otherwise they will soften when cooled. INGREDIENTS
Sliced lettuce Bean-Free "Paleo Refried Beans" Chicken sautéed in fresh salsa (omit for vegan) Chopped black olives Diced tomato Diced avocado Diced green chilies INSTRUCTIONS Layer. Enjoy with fresh vegetable or Paleo Herb Crackers. INGREDIENTS
4 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped 4 hard boiled egg whites, chopped (discard the rest) 1 medium hass avocado, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 tbsp paleo mayonnaise (I use Trader Joe's brand made with Apple Cideo Vinegar) 1 tbsp plain coconut yogurt 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped chives 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar 1/2 tsp sea salt INSTRUCTIONS Combine the egg yolks with the avocado, mayo, yogurt, chives, vinegar, and salt. Mash with a fork. Combine with egg whites and adjust salt as needed. INGREDIENTS
3 large sweet potatoes, cut into wedges 2 tbsp olive oil 2-3 tsp, cinnamon 1 tsp sea salt INSTRUCTIONS Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together all ingredients until potatoes are evenly coated with oil and spices. Place potatoes on a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, or until done. I really like to eat these plain, but you could serve with a paleo ketchup, dairy-free ranch dressing dip or paleo barbecue sauce. |

aboutNosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me. What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet. I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
