Back Cureative's Crab Cakes Ingredients: 2 pounds crab meat (we used back meat), picked through 1 bell pepper (we used green), finely diced 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce 1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs 3 large eggs 3 tablespoons chipotle mayonnaise 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (or more if you like it spicy) 2 heaping teaspoons smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt For the sauce: 1 cup sour cream Juice from 1 lemon, or more to taste 1 tablespoon capers 4 to 6 dashes of Tabasco sauce, or to taste 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning, or to taste 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste Directions: 1. Combine all ingredients together in a large bowl and fold with spatula until well incorporated. ​ 2. Shape into any desired size. ​ 3. Heat oil in a griddle or cast iron over medium - high heat. Sear each crab cake until golden brown on each side (the duration depends on the size of the crab cake and the type of pot being used). I turned them multiple times to allow for even browning - but do not rush the process, each side needs time to brown before flipping. Be gentle when flipping, they could fall apart. ​ 4. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of sour cream sauce garnished with capers or green onion. *Crab cakes can be formed and seared a day ahead. Heat in 350 degree oven until hot enough to serve.

Back Sweet Potato Wedges with Hummus Recipe featured in the Intuitive Cooking and Eating Summit INGREDIENTS: ​ For the potatoes: 1 medium sweet potato, washed and cut into medium- thick wedges (skin on) 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted 2 teaspoons cinnamon 2 teaspoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely minced Pinch Himalayan sea salt For the hummus: 2 cans chick peas/garbanzo beans (or 2.5 cups of bulk chickpeas soaked in water over night) 2 garlic cloves, or to taste 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more if needed (can use coconut milk as a substitution to achieve desired texture/consistency) 2 tablespoons tahini, or to taste/for desired consistency 1.5 teaspoon salt Zest from 2 large lemons Juice from 2 large lemons, or to taste 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika, or to taste 1/2 cup hot water, if needed to achieve desired consistency DIRECTIONS: 1. For the potatoes: prepare a baking sheet lined with tinfoil and with a wire rack placed on top (a cookie cooling rack, for example), set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the coconut oil, cinnamon, brown sugar, spices and herbs in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Dredge the potato wedges into the mixture and stir to ensure that each piece is evenly coated. Line a wire rack with the potato wedges and place over the baking sheet. The wire rack helps the heat to circulate the potatoes for even cooking and decrease moisture. Transfer to the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until tender and crispy on the edges. After 15-20 minutes, remove tray from oven and flip all wedges over then place back in the oven for the remaining time. 2. For the hummus:Place the garlic clove in the blender and pulse a few times. Combine the remaining ingredients (except the hot water) in the blender and blend for 3-4 minutes. After the first 30 seconds of blending, slowly stream in the hot water while the blender is still running. Continue to blend until smooth and creamy. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with extra crushed red pepper flakes when served. Optional garnish: top with pine nuts and dried parsley. 3.*Tasting is crucial for this recipe. After everything is blended, stop and taste the hummus and see if you like the consistency. Doctor it up with more lemon juice, salt or spiced to achieve the flavor you want. Add more water, oil or coconut milk to achieve the consistency you want.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. ​ 2. For this recipe, the chicken, apples and butternut squash will all be cooked at roughly the same time. Preheat the oven to 375. This will require close monitoring to make sure each component is cooked properly. The butternut squash will need to go in first, the chicken second and the apples last (they will take the least amount of time). ​ 3. For the butternut squash: prepare 2 baking sheets, one for both the squash and the apple. Mix together all ingredients (aside from the apple and squash) in a large mixing bowl. Dredge the butternut squash cubes in the mixture and ensure that all cubes are evenly coated. Line squash on the baking sheet and transfer to oven. Reserve the glaze mixture for apples. Bake squash until the cubes are tender. ​ 4. Prepare the chicken. Prepare a baking sheet or roasting pan lined with tinfoil, set aside. Mix all ingredients (aside from the chicken) in a large mixing bowl. Cut each chicken breast in half. Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towel. Dredge each piece of chicken in the herb mixture and ensure that each piece is evenly coated. Reserve glaze mixture for basting. Place chicken on tray and transfer to oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches around 175 degrees. Half way through the cooking process, remove chicken from the oven and baste with glaze mixture, return to the oven. Once cooked, remove from oven and cut into large cubes. ​ 5. For the apples: dredge the cubes in the same glaze mixture used for the squash. Follow the same process as the squash. Transfer the apples to the oven and bake until tender, but not mealy. The apples will require close attention, because they will not require the same length of time as the squash and chicken. ​ 6. For the garnish: melt the butter over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Add the leeks and Sauté until they begin to wilt and brown. Remove from heat and add pomegranate seeds, toss to combine. Set aside. Whisk together the honey and mustard until evenly incorporated. Set aside. ​ 7. Once the chicken, apples, and squash are cooked. Arrange skewers with alternating cubes of each ingredient. Lay crisscrossed on a plate, garnish with leeks and pomegranate seeds. Using a spoon, garnish the plate with the honey mustard sauce. Sprinkle with any remaining rosemary.

Back Spiced Carrot Cake Pancakes INGREDIENTS: 2 medium carrots, grated (moisture squeezed out in paper towels) 1 cup diced pineapple 1/2 cup unsweetened raisins (let them soak in water or pineapple juice for a little bit to rehydrate) 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 3/5 cup buttermilk (or any milk of your choice, we love natural healthy fats and buttermilk makes for a richer more fluffy product) 2 large eggs 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1 tablespoon cinnamon 2 1/2 cup dry pancake mix of your choice (we use Namaste gluten free mix) DIRECTIONS: 1. Combine eggs, milk, vanilla and spices, whisk to combine. ​ 2. Add the remaining fillings (pineapple, raisins and carrots) and whisk together to combine. ​ 3. Add the dry pancake mix and whisk until completely incorporated. ​ 4. Grease and heat a small nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-heat and begin to cook one pancake at a time. We poured ours in 1/4 cup servings, which filled the diameter of our perfect sized skillet. Wait for the batter to begin bubbling in the pan before flipping. ​ 5. Allow the stack of left over pancakes to cool, transfer to a ziplock bag and freeze. Simply toast the frozen pancakes in a toaster for a great grab and go breakfast in the mornings to follow. ​ **We topped our pancakes with cream cheese, honey and walnuts! You could use Greek yogurt too for added protein. Enjoy!

Back Parsnip & Asparagus Herb Frittata Recipe featured in the Intuitive Cooking and Eating Summit INGREDIENTS: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or 2 tablespoons coconut oil 10 medium asparagus spears, fibrous ends removed, cut into 1-inch angled pieces 2 small-medium parsnips, thinly sliced into round pieces ½ -medium onion, peeled and thinly sliced, or cut into any desired shape (you can even use green onions) 6 large eggs 6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese 1/2 cup soft goat 2 teaspoons tablespoons honey ½ cup milk 3 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary, plus extra for garnish 2 teaspoons dried thyme Pinch of Himalayan sea salt and black pepper DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. ​ 2. Prepare all vegetables. Slice the parsnip into thin round slices using a mandolin or sharp knife. ​ 3. In a 10-inch skillet, melt 1.5 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add asparagus, onion and parsnips. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring/tossing occasionally. Arrange vegetables into an even layer in the pan and remove from heat. ​ 4. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl, add 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, the herbs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper, whisk until well blended and frothy. Pour over the vegetables in the pan and return to the stovetop over medium heat. ​ 5. As the mixture cooks and becomes firm around the edges, loosen the edges from the skillet using a heatproof spatula, this will allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. ​ 6. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the frittata and transfer to the oven on the top rack. Bake until the egg mixture has completely set through – about 7 more minutes. Remove from the oven BE CAREFUL OF THE HOT PAN HANDLE. Give the pan a shake, if the center of the egg mixture jiggles, return to the oven for another 2 minutes, or until the middle is set. ​ 7. Loosen the frittata from the skillet using a heatproof spatula. Whip together the goat cheese and honey and lightly smother the top of the frittata with the goat cheese and honey mixture. Sprinkle with remaining herbs for garnish. Slice in triangles like a pie and serve warm.
