2 tbsp coconut flour
2 eggs
1 tbsp lemon juice

Fold in berries gently until combined, but not vigorously stirred (I suggest slicing the strawberries in half first so they aren't as large).
Grease small oven-save dish (about 5x7) with coconut oil or butter, and bake for about 40 minutes or until golden brown on top and centre is not mushy. The top should be firm but not burnt!
Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Day Of The Dead: Easy Oaxacan Mexican Hot Chocolate - Xocolatl

Get cozy with Xocolatl, an authentic Oaxaca Mexican hot chocolate made with real chocolate. It's the ultimate comforting treat! Day Of The Dead-Dia De Los Muertos


Equipment

saucepan

molinillo, an immersion blender, or a whisk


Ingredients

2 cups milk

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate such as Ghirardelli 

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 tablespoons almond meal  or finely ground almonds

2 tablespoons  sugar  more or less to taste


Instructions

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar - heat until simmering, but don't let the milk boil.

Lower the heat, add the almond meal and chopped chocolate, and whisk gently until the chocolate is completely melted and blended. Give it a taste to check for sweetness and spiciness.

For a smooth and frothy consistency, blend the mixture with a molinillo, a whisk, or an immersion blender.

Pour the Xocolatl directly into mugs. Serve hot (*scroll up to see my serving suggestions).


Notes

Chop your chocolate finely so that it melts evenly.

 If you're using milk chocolate, avoid sugar, as the result will be too sweet.

 If your drink is too sweet, add a pinch of salt to cut the sweetness.

 Don't substitute ground cinnamon for cinnamon sticks because the drink isn't simmered long enough for the sticks to release their flavor. Use the sticks as garnish and for stirring.

For a quick version, use Mexican chocolate disks, like Ibarra, Abuelita, or Mayordomo.

If you're using chocolate disks, you will only need milk or water - it already contains all the other ingredients - but what's the fun in that?

You don't have to froth Xocolatl, but it's traditionally done using molinillo (*scroll up for directions on how to use it). You can also froth it with an immersion blender, frother wand, or a whisk.


Storage:

Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up up 4 days.

Reheat in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, or in a microwave.

Mexican Hot Chocolate History:

Chocolate has a long historical connection to the dead in Mexico. The Mayans used it to help escort people into the afterlife. When you offered chocolate to the dead, the Mayans thought it would travel with the soul and usher in rebirth. Not only was it believed to provide a link from the living world to the afterlife, but it was enjoyed by mourners of the deceased (via Huff Post).


According to Huff Post, families may leave Mexican hot chocolate out for children for Día de los Angelitos (Day of the Little Angels), which takes place the day before Día de los Muertos. Then, they will drink it again on the Day of the Dead to honor their adult loved ones. Drinking Mexican hot chocolate is especially customary as a part of the evening watch at the cemetery. Some people even pour hot chocolate into the graves.


While Mexican hot chocolate is popular throughout cooler months of the year, it's especially prominent during holiday celebrations like the Day of the Dead. The difference between Mexican hot chocolate and the hot chocolate we drink in the U.S. relates to the type of chocolate in it (often Mexican chocolate) and the addition of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper (via Big 7 Travel).

Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits

Creamy vanilla yogurt, ripe berries, and crunchy granola clusters are layered in an easy, grab-and-go jar.

Serves: 4, Makes: 4, Prep Time: 8 minutes to 10 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups vanilla regular or Greek whole-milk or reduced-fat yogurt, divided

2 cups store-bought or homemade granola, divided

2 cups fresh fruit, such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or sliced strawberries, divided

Honey or maple syrup (optional)

A bowl of creamy yogurt topped with crunchy granola and fresh fruit is a morning staple, but lately I’ve been ditching the bowl and building my breakfast for on-the-go eating. In this easy recipe, creamy vanilla yogurt, ripe berries, and crunchy granola clusters are layered parfait-style in glass jars or cups, ensuring every bite is brimming with flavor, color, and texture. Here’s how to make a simple fruit and yogurt parfait.


Why You’ll Love It: 

It’s the easiest breakfast, dessert, or snack. A yogurt parfait is an incredibly easy breakfast (or dessert!) made by alternating layers of yogurt, granola, and fruit in a jar or cup.

You can customize it any way you like. Use your choice of yogurt, store-bought or homemade granola, and any combination of fresh fruit for your parfaits.


Key Ingredients in Yogurt Parfaits

Yogurt: I recommend starting with creamy vanilla yogurt when building these striated snacks, but the style (Greek or regular) and fat percentage are up to you.

Granola: Both store-bought and homemade granola work well in a yogurt parfait. Choose one that has a good mix of bigger clusters and smaller crumbles so that there are sweet and crunchy oats in every bite.

Fruit: You can use any combination of fresh fruit, such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or sliced strawberries.

Honey or maple syrup (optional): A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can be added as a finishing touch.


How to Make Yogurt Parfaits

Build the parfaits in jars or glasses. Spoon yogurt into the bottom of each one. Top each with some granola and fruit. Repeat layering the remaining yogurt, granola, and fruit. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup, if desired.


What’s the Best Yogurt for Parfaits?

Greek vs. regular: Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt, which helps create clean lines between parfait layers. Since it has less moisture, Greek yogurt also won’t soften granola as quickly as regular yogurt if you’re making the jars in advance.

Full-fat vs. reduced fat: Whole-milk yogurts are usually more filling, so use that variety if you’re looking for a breakfast that will keep you full until lunchtime.


Helpful Tips

Meal prep. Planning to meal prep the parfaits? Use granola with big clusters, as it will take longer for the moisture from the fruit and yogurt to seep in and soften it.

Add-ins. Dried fruit and nuts adds an extra layer of texture and flavor without adding more to your prep time.


Build the parfaits in 4 (12- to 16-ounce) jars or glasses: Spoon 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt into the bottom of each one. Top each with 1/4 cup of the granola and 1/4 cup of the fruit. Repeat layering the remaining yogurt, granola, and fruit. Drizzle the top of each with honey or maple syrup, if desired.

Recipe Notes

Make ahead: The parfaits can be assembled, covered, and refrigerated up to 3 days in advance. The granola will soften to a chewy consistency.

• 1/4 cup Flour
• 1 Sea salt & coarse black pepper

Dairy
• 1/4 cup Butter, salted
• 1/4 cup Half and half
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 Parmesan or crumbled feta cheese

Other
• 2 pounds (about 4 medium-large) russet potatoes, peeled, roughly chopped and boiled just until fork tender and set aside.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 375ºF

With a sharp knife, slice off the top layer of the garlic head/s to expose most of the cloves and peel of as many outer layers of the garlic as possible. You should still be left with a primary layer of skin around the cloves.

Drizzle the exposed cloves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and coarse pepper. Wrap the garlic head/s in a piece of aluminum foil and place the foiled bundle/s on a baking sheet.

Roast in the oven for 40 minutes or so until the garlic is gorgeously fragrant and, once carefully unwrapped, has taken on a golden color and butter soft texture.

To extract the delicious caramelized garlic from the skin, simply work from the bottom and gently squeeze the garlic through the skin (much like toothpaste) the garlic will ooze out. You must sample (but try not to eat it all!) set the warm roasted garlic aside.

In a large pot or dutch oven, melt butter over low-medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes or so until translucent. Sprinkle the buttered onions with flour* mixing well to integrate and make sure that the flour doesn't brown/burn while it's mixing. 

Add the broth (starting with 4 cups), milk, cream, thyme and a few cracks of salt & pepper, whisking to combine. Allow the soup to come to a boil, while continuing to whisk for 10 seconds or so, and then reduce to lowest heat and allow the broth to simmer for another couple minutes as the roux works its magic and the soup begins to thicken somewhat. Turn off heat.

Add the cooked potatoes and roasted garlic cloves intermingling with the béchamel sauce.

Working in batches, carefully transfer ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth. For a more dilute consistency, add a little more broth to desired consistency. Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as desired.

Meanwhile, in a separate pan, sauté mushrooms in a little bit of butter or olive oil until a nice sear develops, adding a few cracks of salt/pepper as desired. Be sure to allow the pan to heat up first and allow the natural water contained in the mushrooms to be released and eventually burnt off through the cooking process. Set the seared mushrooms aside to cool slightly before adding the majority of them to the blended soup (while retaining a few to garnish the top of the soup).

Serve the soup warm and topped as desired with fresh thyme sprigs, green onion/chives, black pepper, seared mushroom and/or cheese.

Storage: This soup will store well in the fridge for up to 5 days. *nb: Dairy soups tend to separate when frozen - this just means that the fat breaks away from the other elements in the mixture and needs to be whisked back into the mixture as it heats to avoid graininess. You can also add a touch more tapioca/cornstarch slurry to help reconstitute the texture if you decide to freeze.

If you are reheating the soup from the fridge you may need to add additional broth to desired consistency as most soups tend to thicken over time.

NOTES:
The Garlic: Roasted garlic is much mellower than raw garlic so don't let the idea of multiple cloves intimidate you. If you choose to work with one head of garlic, I still strongly encourage you to roast at least two (or three) heads because there are so many ways you can enjoy this delicious, caramelized garlic paste (which stores well in the fridge): as a spread on bread/crackers, in dips/hummus, in salad dressings, as a spread in sandwiches or as I did this past weekend, smeared all over our black bean burgers - so delicious!

The Flour*: All purpose flour creates a smooth and delectable Béchamel however I did try tapioca starch/flour (a gluten-free substitute) in one version of this soup - it worked perfectly well in terms of thickening the soup although there was a slight difference in terms of smoothness - a very mild graininess that is not detectable in AP flour. I still found it very palatable but if you go with tapioca flour my suggestion would be to whisk it vigorously to create the smoothest texture possible.

Garnish Options - I enjoy this soup topped with some black pepper or paprika, seared mushrooms and fresh thyme for garnish but my boys also love it with cheese. You can play around with this element to suit your tastes.

The Cream - Half and half is what I generally use as my 'heavy cream' - I find it adaptive and perfectly luxuriously but you can sub heavier cream in this portion of the recipe as preferred.

The Mushrooms - Mushrooms are about 90% water by nature so you want to be careful not to rinse or soak mushrooms to avoid ending up with a soggy mess. Instead, use a brush or cloth with a little bit of water to clean. As for type of mushroom, I went with a common mushroom here but you could sub any variety of choice. Oyster mushrooms, for example, have a delicious resilient, somewhat chewy, texture that is irresistible in soup. Depending on where you live and what you have access to, seasonal varieties might also come into play.

Soup Consistency: This is a creamy béchamel (somewhat thick) soup like potage -- you can thin it by adding more broth, little by little, to desired consistency. If the soup ends up not as thick as you would like, simply add a little tapioca or cornstarch slurry at the very end (in a small bowl, whisk 1 flat tbsp of tapioca flour (or cornstarch) with 1 tbsp of water and then add the slurry to the soup, to thicken somewhat.

Breakfast Burrito Casserole
There is nothing I love more than an easy breakfast recipe. Mornings aren’t always my strong suit, but as a mom, I love a great make-ahead breakfast recipe. That is why I love breakfast casserole recipes that are big enough to feed everyone and quick to put together. This breakfast burrito casserole is definitely my new favorite casserole, and I have been making it all the time. It combines my love for Tex-Mex food with my love for easy breakfast casseroles! Made with sausage, hashbrowns, eggs, tortillas, and plenty of cheese, you will go crazy for this easy breakfast idea. An easy breakfast burrito casserole made with six simple ingredients that your entire family will love. It is cheesy, savory and the perfect way to start your morning off right.

Equipment
9×13 baking dish
Skillet
Measuring cups
measuring spoons
medium mixing bowls

Ingredients  
▢1 16 ounce roll breakfast sausage – crumbled and cooked
▢1 20-oz package diced hash browns – (thawed if frozen)
▢2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
▢6 eggs
▢2 cups half-and-half
▢10 flour tortillas
▢½ teaspoon salt
▢½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions 
Gather your ingredients. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
Mix sausage, hash browns, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Divide the meat, potato, and cheese mixture between tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam side down in the baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together egg and half-and-half. Pour over tortillas.
Add the remaining 1 cup cheese over top of the egg mixture and cover with foil.
Bake covered for 35-40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 – 10 more minutes until the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes
I like to use breakfast sausage in this recipe, but crumbled, cooked bacon will also be delicious.
Add taco seasoning to your breakfast sausage as it cooks in the skillet. This will add a delicious Tex-Mex flair to your breakfast burritos. Top the whole meal with fresh black bean and corn salsa for an even more authentic meal.
You can easily cut this recipe in half to make five burritos for breakfast for the family. When you make a smaller quantity, use an 8×8 baking dish so that the burritos still cook evenly without getting too crispy.
