Pork Scaloppine with Coconut Flour
Who doesn't love when a recipe calls for an inexpensive cut of meat? It's such a great way to keep the grocery bill in check while keeping your family satisfied. Pork loin is delicious, and you can actually get the precut pork steaks on sale frequently. This dish is tart, savory, and oh so satisfying. The other thing I love about this meal is it's use of coconut flour. Coconut flour can be used the same way traditional flour can, only its much healthier for you. It's an excellent source of dietary fiber. It's low in sodium, carbohydrates, and cholesterol. It's an excellent ingredient for anyone that has gone gluten free as well. 


Ingredients: 
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces egg noodles 
4 precut pork loin steaks
1/4 cup coconut flour (found here
1 teaspoon Lavender Apple herbs de provence (found here)
2/3 cup white wine
1 large garlic clove, minced 
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons parlsey, chopped

Directions: 
Cook your noodles in salted boiling water for about 8 minutes. Pat your pork steaks dry with a paper towel, then give them a good sprinkle of salt and pepper and cover them with the flour and herbs de provence. Heat your oil in a large skillet. Brown the pork on each side (about 2-3 minutes) then move them to a plate and set aside. In the same skillet and your butter and wine and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly reduced. Then add your garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add your egg noodles to a large bowl, place your chops on top, then cover everything with the sauce and parsley. Salt and pepper as needed.  


These golden pork loin steaks, atop dripping noodles have such a wonderful flavor for a dish that comes together in just minutes. How else have you used coconut flour? We'd love to hear from you!

Migraine Help

I have so many loved ones who suffer from crazy migraines. They sound just awful, debilitating sometimes. That is why I absolutely love the Lavender Apple's Eye Pillows. Our lavender eye pillows are hand cut and sewn from the finest silks. Then we fill them with flax and our organic lavender buds. After a full day of eye strain, nothing feels better than a cool and soothing eye pillow. These freeze beautiful and are so relaxing to use as you relax in the evening. With all of us being glued to our electronic devices these days, we find more and more customers who absolutley need and love our eye pillows. We hope you will too. You can order yours HERE
Rainbow Ramen
Growing up I always loved Ramen Noodles. Now that I have unfortunatley become an adult and am more aware of what I put into my body, I don't ever let myself buy Ramen Noodles. But I recently stumbled upon a way to make them at home, in a much healthier way! I call this rainbow ramen because of all the beautiful colors. Not only is the beautiful and delicious, its a very affordable meal as well. 


Ingredients: 
2 large chicken breasts, cut into strips
6 ounces soba noodles 
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 head purple cabbage, diced into strips
1 onion, diced
1 brocoli crown
3 carrots, shredded 
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce 
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce

Directions: 
Heat your oil in a pan, add your chicken strips and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside. Add your vegetables to your pot and cook until soft and heated through. Meanwhile boil a pot of water and add your noodles to the pot. Boil for 3 minutes or so according to the package instructions. Remove your noodles and add them to the vegetables along with the chicken. Add the sesame oil and stir to prevent sticking. Mix together your ketchup, sugar, hot sauce, soy sauce, ginger, and worcestershire sauce. Once combined add it to your noodles and stir until everything is heated through and coated. Serve immediately. 



This is such a fun throw back dish updated for a more sophisticated palate and more nutrient rich without sacrificing any flavor. Let me know what you think!
