Holiday Breakfasts
Recently I’ve been playing around with making yummy breakfasts that are fun for the Holiday season!
Here are some Christmas themed breakfast that you can enjoy!
Christmas Breakfast Burrito
This one is easy:
1. Scramble eggs with leftover quinoa and chicken
2. Serve in a tortilla (or alone) with cilantro and salsa for that holiday touch!
Christmas Tree Omelet:
1. Pour whisked eggs into oiled frypan
2. Throw chopped greens on top
3. Flip when bottom side is done
4. Serve with “green side” facing up
5. Trim into tree shape
Decorate!
We used salsa and cheese, but you could easily add red and green peppers and other creative natural red and green foods.
ENJOY!

Cupcakes with *chocolate frosting* {GAPS}
Cupcake recipe is GAPS Diet Birthday Cake from Cheeseslave (makes about 2 dozen)
The original recipe calls for a spring form pan. We don’t have one, so we tried cupcakes (they work great – but they don’t come out of the papers when warm) and a 13×9″ stoneware pan (also worked well).
Frosting recipe is from Sue Gregg‘s Dessert cookbook. (Joshua was very excited to have chocolate frosting!)
Chocolate Frosting
1 stick soft butter
1/4 c raw honey
1 egg
1/4 c raw cacao
1 t vanilla
Cream butter and honey. Blend in egg, cacao, and vanilla until spreadable.

Egg Yolks {GAPS}
Raw egg yolks provide wonderful nutrition and absorb quickly, almost without needing any digestion. We’re supposed to have one in each bowl of soup we eat, but our chickens are never able to keep up with the amount needed and we don’t trust any other source since we eat them raw!
It’s surprisingly appealing and makes the soup extra creamy and delicious!
We froze the egg whites for future recipes and are now adding them to whole eggs, making our scrambled eggs extra fluffy.

Valentine’s Treats! {GAPS}
For Valentine’s day, we made a couple special treats: heart carrots and pancakes! They were well-recieved by all (especially when the pancakes were served with a thin layer of raw honey).
I found a heart shaped carrots tutorial through Pinterest, and added a step to make it GAPS-legal. After cutting the hearts, I boiled them for about 30 minutes so they’re nice and soft. (I like to drink the left-over water – it’s sweet!)
To introduce egg whites, we made squash pancakes:
Blend 4 eggs and 1/2 c butternut squash in the Vita-mix (or blender). Cook at a low heat in coconut oil or animal fat. Be careful not to brown too much (for GAPS). Optional – cut with cookie cutters.
