    I tried to make tomato soup from scratch recently. I slaved over the stove for over an hour sauteing carrots, and sweating fresh tomatoes. It took forever and was positively mediocre. My son wasn't even that thrilled with it. Then something occurred to me that was much simpler. I tried it and it has been a life and time saver!

    Ingredients:

    3 cups Tomato juice 
    (PURE tomato juice. 
    It must be just tomatoes 
    and maybe salt added, 
    nothing more!)
    1 cup Almond/Cashew/Coconut 
    or other nut milk
    Salt and pepper
    Dried Parsley
    Paprika
    Dried Oregano 
    Dried Basil
    Garlic Salt
    Onion Flakes

    Directions: 

    Combine the tomato juice and milk in a sauce pan.
    Add a pinch of everything else, depending on your taste.
    Bring to the boil and then simmer over low-medium heat for 20 minutes,
    Eat and enjoy!

    You can add red pepper flakes, fresh tomatoes or other vegetables, or fresh onions and garlic if you want to cook for a bit longer. So easy and my son loves it!

    *Btw, in case you hadn't noticed, I use stock photos on this blog. I don't have a functioning camera and my phone is terrible. But since I can't find pictures of something I made by mistake, the above photo was taken with our kindle. Improvising all the way...*

    I tried to make SCD power bars since we realised we weren't allowed to eat the Paleo ones we found because they have seeds. Our food processor broke down in the middle of making them so I started winging it. What happened was not a power bar, but it ended up being a sort of fruity blondie that was pretty good served warm. So my son and I decided to call them Fruity Whoopsies and make them a new recipe!

    Ingredients:

    1 cup of dates
    1 cup of dried apricots
    1/2 cup of pecans
    Zest of 1/2 lemon

    1/2 cup almond milk
    2 Tbsp peanut butter
    1 Tbsp honey
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract

    1 egg


    Preheat oven to 180C/350F.

    Mix the dates, apricots, pecans, and lemon zest in a processor until you have a mushy chunk that easily clumps together BUT not so much that it becomes too smooth. 

    Add the almond milk, then peanut butter, then honey, then vanilla extract but continue blending/processing or, if your processor broke, stirring and mashing, in between each ingredient. 

    Finally, stir in the egg.

    Spread the mixture in a greased 8 x 8 pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
