Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread Waffles

Ingredients
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cups grated zucchini, unpeeled (about 2 small)
• 1.5 cups cassava flour
• 1/3 cup finely diced pitted dates
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• a pinch or two of nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 tablespoons softened butter or ghee
• 1/3 cup raw honey
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 2 ounces chopped 72% dark chocolate

Directions
Preheat your waffle iron.
Whisk eggs until frothy. Add remaining ingredients except for the pecans and dark chocolate. Fold them into the already blended batter at the end. This “batter” is not runny like traditional waffle batters.
Scoop three ice cream scoops of batter per waffle. Let cook for 2-3 minutes depending on how hot your waffle iron gets and whether it is a shallow waffle or a Belgium waffle. The waffle should have a light-medium browning.
Serve with pure maple syrup and a refreshing SUNRISE SMOOTHIE!
Enjoy!

Chicken Green Onion Balls/Recipe Share

Chicken-Bacon-Bites-800x600

Ingredients:
¼ lb (115 g) bacon (about 2 – 3 thick cut slices)
1 lb (454 g) ground chicken
½ cup (35 g) chopped green onion
1 tsp (2 g) ground sage
½ tsp garlic powder
MIX: Roughly chop the bacon slices and put them in the food processor. Process until the bacon resembles ground meat, but not so long that the bacon becomes a paste. Add the ground chicken, green onion, sage and garlic powder to the food processor. There should be plenty of salt in the mixture already, thanks to the bacon! Pulse until the meat mixture is just combined and you can see that the green onions are evenly distributed throughout.
SHAPE: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Use a 2 tablespoon (30 ml) scoop to measure out 16 equal-size portions of the meat mixture and drop them onto the lined baking tray. Use your hands to roll each portion into a round mini meatball shape.
BAKE: Cook the burger bites for 20 minutes and rest them for 5 minutes on the baking tray before serving. These are great paired with either BBQ Sauce  or Creamy Green Onion Dressing
