Spinach and Strawberry Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette
Paleo, Salads, Vegan
Tonight we took a salad to a dinner party to accompany steaks. Usually Jared is not hugely opinionated on what we take, when I ask he’ll give me a…
Disclaimer: I have no idea what I single serving is for you! And sometimes you want a single serving but for two people, or a large indulgent single serving. So each of these makes TWO servings but I cook them separately. One pot is then perfect for Jared, and I like ½-1 pot but loaded up with full fat yogurt, or nut butter, and berries, or a no sugar chocolate sauce. So decide what’s a single serving for you – and if you truly want one pot then make two and pop one in the freezer!
Gluten/Dairy Free Version
(Makes 2 servings or one large one)
2T honey (use 4 for a sweeter cake, or 2 for a sweet but slightly lower sugar version)
4T soft coconut oil
1 egg
¼ cup oat flour/well ground oats
¼ cup cocoa
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch pink salt
Optional additions – add in 1T chocolate chips to the center (this is what I do and recommend!), or a small handful of berries, or 1-2T chopped nuts
Mix the honey, coconut oil and egg together, then stir in the dry ingredients till they’re fully mixed. Lastly stir in any additions and then pour into a mini ramekin dish (or oven proof mug) and place in a 350F oven.
Bake for 12-20 minutes – small cakes vary a LOT depending on the oven. If it’s fan assisted (convection) it will take less time, if you’re cooking a few in a toaster oven that isn’t preheated it will take longer. Take it out and 12 and test for a firm top but a springy feel to touch. If it’s not done, put it back for another 5 mins.
Paleo Version
(Makes 2 servings or one large one)
2T honey (use 4 for a sweeter cake, or 2 for a sweet but slightly lower sugar version)
4T soft coconut oil
1 egg
¼ cup almond flour
¼ cup cocoa
1T arrowroot starch
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch pink salt
Optional additions – add in 1T chocolate chips to the center (this is what I do and recommend!), or a small handful of berries, or 1-2T chopped nuts
TOPPINGS
Chocolate Sauce: Whisk the ingredients together with a fork and pour over two mini cakes!
1T maple syrup
2T soft coconut oil
2T cocoa powder
Almond Butter: Pour over 1-2T almond butter and dive in with fruit or extra chopped nuts!
Nut Milk: I love pouring over some creamy nut milk and a few berries!
SUBSTITUTIONS
Honey: Can also use maple syrup, rice syrup, or date syrup – a liquid sweetener works best though. But you could use coconut sugar, or sub it out totally for banana.
Coconut Oil: Pastured butter would also work well here, just make sure it’s at room temperature
Oat flour: could also use spelt/wheat but NOT coconut!

So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just cant resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the waydon’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!†When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!†To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!â€

Surprisingly! Its like you understand my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, just like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pictures to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is good blog post. A good read. I will certainly be back.
