Condensed "Milk"
1 can of quality coconut milk (full fat)
1 teaspoon stevia
Truffles
1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1 tbs butter
½ tsp coconut extract
5 drops stevia
Condensed milk
Combine the coconut milk and stevia in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it starts to boil. Lower the heat to low and cook mixture for about 2 hours. After 2 hours the coconut condensed milk should be thick enough so that it does not run off the spoon easily and is reduced to about half.
Truffles
Turn the heat to medium and mix in the butter and coconut stir the mixture frequently until it boils, then cook for another 12 minutes approximately, scrapping the sides of the pan. This time may vary and what you are looking for is a thick consistency. Let it cool and place it in the fridge for about 2+ hours. It is important to cool it before rolling it into balls.
remove from fridge, cover hands with butter and start rolling the mixture into balls. You might need to add more butter to your hands in between a few rolls. Roll each ball in unsweetened coconut.

Kickin Garlic Chicken
Kickin Garlic Chicken
2 Tbsp. Ghee
6-8 chicken thighs, skin on (could use any skin-on chicken pieces)
Salt and freshly-ground black pepper
8 cloves of garlic, separated and peeled, roughly chopped
4 oz full fat cream cheese
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 cup chicken bone broth
1 1/4 tsp. fresh thyme leaves (or about 3/4 tsp. dried leaves)
2 Tbsp. butter
Heat the oven to 400° F with rack in centre of oven. In a oven-safe Dutch oven or big, oven-safe skillet with a lid, heat the ghee over medium high heat. Dry the chicken pieces well by patting them with a paper towel. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with a bit of salt and the pepper. Cook the chicken until well browned, turning regularly, for about 8 minutes in all then remove chicken to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook, stirring regularly, until it is starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add bone broth and white wine over the garlic and stir until combined. Add cream cheese until dissolved. Return the chicken to the pot, cover, and bake for 25 minutes in the pre-heated 400° oven. (If you pot or skillet doesn’t have a lid, you can tightly cover the top with tin-foil instead.)
Serve spooned over cauliflower mash.

Blissful Chili
1 package of nitrate/sugar free bacon
1 lb grassfed ground beef
1/2 lb uncured breakfast sausage (hot or mild) I like spicey so I went for hot
1/2 cup pure tomato sauce (just tomatoes)

1/4 cup diced yellow onion
3 cloves garlic diced
1 organic diced green pepper
1 lb diced zucchini
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tsp Chipotle powder
1 Tsp cacao powder
1/2 Tsp cumin
Fry your bacon, set bacon aside (don't strain your bacon fats). Brown beef and sausage. Add vegetables and stir. Add liquids, then add spices. Crumble bacon and stir. I let mine simmer for 3 hours on low heat. The longer it cooks more flavor it gets.
