Almond Cookies
These cookies are very simple to make so it’s easy to do on your own or with the whole family. These satisfy your sweet tooth but also give you a boost from healthy fats and protein in the almond butter.
Ingredients:
1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup almond flour
¼ tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup maple syrup/honey
1 cup cashew or almond butter
1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
Top w/flaky salt
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350•F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the baking soda, kosher salt, cinnamon, and flour. Add the almond butter and honey, mix until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
Add the chocolate chips and stir until evenly incorporated.
Using your clean hands or a teaspoon, measure out teaspoon sized balls. Place the balls evenly spaced on the sheet, 12 per sheet.
Bake the cookies in the oven for 14 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about three minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool further.
Store the cookies in a glass storage container for up to a week at room temperature.

1/2 cup pureed organic fresh/frozen strawberries
1/2 cup lemon or lime juice
1/3 cup clover honey
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla powder (optional) 3 Tablespoons grass-fed gelatin

Put molds or an 8×8 glass pan onto a cookie sheet. Whisk all ingredients in a sauce pan over low heat and stir until everything is incorporated.

Smoky Beef Jerky
Ingredients:
1 pound lean cut flank steak
¼ cup coconut aminos
¾ teaspoon all-natural liquid smoke
¾ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika Dash of cayenne pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
Place the steak in the freezer for 2 hours to firm it up, trim any visible white fat. Slice the steak against the grain into ⅛ inch pieces. Whisk together the ingredients for the marinade and combine the marinade with the beef slices in a shallow dish or a ziploc bag. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight or up to 24 hours turning occasionally to evenly coat. Remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
Dehydrator Method
Evenly place the strips on dehydrator sheets lined with parchment paper, careful not to let them overlap. Dehydrate the beef for 3-4 hours at 145 degrees F, flipping once half way through.
Oven Method
Preheat oven to the lowest setting, usually 150-170 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or foil and place a heavy wire rack over both (an oven safe cookie cooling rack will do). Place the strips of beef on the racks leaving space between each piece so they’re not touching. Place the trays in the oven, leaving it open a crack to allow air to circulate. Dehydrate for 8-10 hours, depending on the thickness of the meat, turning 1 time half way through. *If you have a convection setting this process will probably take about half the time. Check for dryness around 5 hours and continue dehydrating if the strips are still moist.
