Paleo "Oatmeal"

we have been eating a paleo-ish diet since the beginning of the month.

i say ish because i am learning that everyone has their own version of this diet.

as they should.

actually when i realized months ago that to heal my endometriosis and gut issues 

i should start by eliminating gluten and most dairy i didn't realize that was a big part of the paleo diet.

but let me say, i am soo grateful it is and that paleo is so common right now because it

makes it so easy to find recipes for everything!

i bought a couple paleo cook books in the last couple months.

which i have really enjoyed using.

cooking is not something i can say i love doing.

i don't really have a knack for it. 

but i'm getting better and it helps when i make something new and it turns out well.

yay for confidence building :)

this "oatmeal" recipe came from the basic 

Paleo for Beginners.

it was simple and delicious.

scarlett gobbled it down and i liked it, too!

start by throwing all of this in your food processor / blender:

1 cup nuts [ i used almonds because it's what i had at the time. i think throwing some pecans in there, too would be good!]

1/4 cup ground flaxseed [not apart of the recipe but i had some so i added it]

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

transfer to a saucepan.

in a small bowl stir together

5 large eggs

1/2 cup non dairy milk [ i used coconut so as to not over do it on the almonds ]

until thick.

add 

2 mashed bananas 

2 tablespoons of almond butter

to the nut mixture in the pan and whisk until blended.

now stir the wet ingredients into the nut mixture and place over medium heat.

cook the resulting nut mixture, stirring constantly, until it's thick and the eggs are cooked,

5-7 minutes. 

top with fresh fruit, butter, pure maple syrup or honey.

i mixed some ghee and honey in after it was done cooking.

yum yum!
