Wild Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

finalcrabmushroom

I am always prepared when it comes to holiday parties, friends and family gatherings, or even meal preparing for myself. I was inspired by a conversation I had with a family member about crab stuffed mushrooms. The conversation was about using the best breading to make this recipe happen. A light bulb went off in my brain. Coincidentally, I found these amazing chickpea crumbs, made only of chickpeas! How great is that? I shared my healthy find, which happens to be full of fiber, protein, and deliciousness. My family asked me to prepare a dish and bring it to Christmas dinner. I was more than happy to!
I love this hors d’oeuvre because it is loaded with important nutrients, protein, and fiber to keep you satiated for a longer amount of time, allowing you to eat and crave less throughout the rest of the day. This helps you to keep on track by making smart and healthy choices. This dish is also great as a side to your well-balanced plate.
This recipe is gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, and dairy-free.

Broccoli and Butternut Squash Soup for a late lunch!
I topped my soup with Go Raw Sprouted Sunflower Seeds and Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds.
Extra Vitamin E!
So yum!
The sprouting process makes it easier on the digestive system and allows for better vitamin and mineral absorption.
To make this soup, I simply steamed my broccoli and roasted my butternut squash in avocado oil.
I added the ingredients into a blender and used the water from steaming my broccoli as my base. I chose to season with cumin, pink salt, garlic, and black pepper.
This soup is Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Nut-Free, Dairy-Free, and Vegan.

Ingredients:
4 cups frozen or fresh broccoli
4 cups butternut squash, chopped
2 T avocado oil
1/4 cup fresh garlic, peeled
1 T cumin
1 T Salt
1 T black pepper, crushed

Making a good pizza is definitely a practice. I topped my pizza with my favorite vegetable toppings and sprinkled some cheese to give it a nice finish. This hit the spot and it made me so happy.
