Baked Stuffed Apple


Sometimes I just want something simple and sweet. No muss no fuss. Requiring little effort put forth to satisfy my sweet tooth. The sweet tooth that never goes away. Ever.  I indulge once maybe twice a week in my "treat of the week." I tweet my #treatoftheweek as proof of honoring my cravings and enjoyment of decadent treats. I don't believe in absolute deprivation. That is unbalanced and a bland way to live.
I invite you to tweet me your #treatoftheweek. What is your favorite treat to indulge in?

Baked Stuff Apples


4 apples washed and cored and intact
1/4 cup of blanched almond flour
2 TBS of coconut sugar
1 TBS of coconut oil
1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon
1/4 cup of raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper. Place cored apples on top of parchment paper and set aside. In a medium sized mixing bowl combine almond flour,sugar, and cinnamon. Mix to combine. Stir in coconut oil and mix until crumb mixture forms then toss in raisins. Stuff the apples with almond flour mixture. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour  until apples are tender when pierced with a fork.  Serves 4.

Bittersweet Chocolate Souffle (gluten Free)


The week between Christmas and New Years is so bittersweet. Reflecting on the triumphs and tragedies of 2012 all the while trying to nail down my hopes and thoughts for 2013. I still have yet to write a complete and clear goal list for 2013, but it is coming along. 

2012 was an exciting year for me. In June I let go of my reservations and fears of starting this blog and I jumped feet first into writing the Lean Gourmet Kitchen (LGK.) For six months I've been reading, writing, recording, photo snapping, editing, and chronically my food and fitness journey. I thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts and comments with me. Your words and questions are fuel to my fire. I love to be helpful and share my health journey with you. I pray that I have inspired and challenged you these past six months.

Here is to you dear one wishing you a happy, healthy, and extraordinary 2013!

Stay strong & carry on,

Brooklynn

Today's recipe is a light treat that won't derail you on your healthy journey this year.
