Mix all ingredients well, except the nuts. Add nuts, if desired, and mix through.

To make fudge: Double or triple recipe, pat into a pan and chill until firm; cut into squares. Depending on the temperature of the room, let it stay at room temperature a while before serving.

Coconut Kefir Pancakes

 

Mix everything but the egg and leave for a couple of hours room temp so that you can culture the mix. When ready to stoke ’em up, beat in the egg. For fresh flavor add small chunks of organic apples or even banana slices…or both.

Cook in stainless or cast iron fry pan with coconut oil. Never fry too hot that it smokes like crazy. That is bad.

Spoon out silver dollar or larger size, but smooth out if you like flat pancakes.

Set out on plate and sprinkle organic maple syrup or your favorite syrup over the delicious little gems. Enjoy!

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Lemon pepper to taste
  • Himalayan salt to taste

TOPPING

2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

3. Place the fish on a broiling pan and sprinkle with lemon juice from the marinade along with black pepper. Bake the fish for 15 minutes, or until it is opaque in the middle.

4. While the halibut is baking, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, green onions, garlic, mustard, and hot sauce or cayenne in a small bowl and mix well.

5. Remove halibut from the oven and then turn the oven to broil.

6. Sprinkle salt, as desired, over the fish and then spread some of the topping over each fillet. Broil the fish for about 1 minute, or until the topping is golden brown.
