Pumpkin Cranberry Bread

In an effort to clean up some Thanksgiving favorites the kids & I made this AMAZING pumpkin cranberry bread.  Not only did the kiddos love helping me in the kitchen to make this bread, they loved gobbling up this yummy holiday treat.

1. Preheat oven to 350 & grease bottoms of loaf pans with coconut oil.  (2 loaf pans - 8 1/2x 4 1/2x 2 1/2)

2. Mix 15 ounces (1 can) pure pumpkin puree, 1 cup raw honey, 2/3 cup stevia, 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 teaspoons vanilla, & 4 eggs in a large bowl.

3. Stir in 3 cups whole wheat flour (you could also use spelt flour, quinoa flour, unbleached all purpose flour, or the flour of your choice), 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground all spice, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.

4. Stir in 3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries & 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts (optional).

5. Divide batter evenly between loaf pans & bake 50-60 minutes.

6. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pans.  Then loosen the loaves from the sides of the pan with a butter knife, remove from pans, & allow to continue cooling on a wire rack.

*Wrap tightly & store at room temperature for about 4 days or refrigerate up to 10 days.  You could also make several loaves & freeze this for use throughout the holiday season.

Black Bean Brownies

With the holiday season upon us my brain & stomach automatically seek out baked goods!  That can spell trouble for a clean eater.  But I am doing my best to seek out clean baked goods, or clean up old classics, testing them out & then passing the successful recipes on to you!  Our first baked good adventure was Black Bean Brownies.  As you can see, they are kid tested & Fit Momma approved.  Try out this recipe, share it with friends & family & let me know if they can figure out the "secret ingredient."  Annie's guess for the secret ingredient was LOVE!  Awwww...isn't she sweet?!?

Black Bean Brownies

1 can black beans (drained and rinsed well)

1/2 cup 100% cocoa

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup raw honey

1 tsp. vanilla

3 eggs

1/2 cup spelt flour (you could use almond or quinoa flour as well)

1/4 tsp. sea salt

*Optional: unsweetened coconut flakes, sliced raw almonds, or 2 Tbls. dark chocolate chips to sprinkle on top.

Directions: Rinse the beans WELL! Put all ingredients into the blender & blend for approx. 2 mins.  Pour batter into a greased 8x8 pan.  If desired, top with coconut, almonds, or dark chocolate chips.  Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.

Enjoy!

Holiday Survival Challenge - Maintain, Don't Gain!

Tis the season for parties, get-togethers, and office snacks galore. Cookies, pie, and a nice glass of wine...these are a few of my favorite holiday treats & I still have them.  What's different now?  I use moderation, portion control, and good planning to enjoy the occasional treat & avoid the dreaded "holiday spread."  Would you like to enter the holiday season with a plan for success?  Would you like to have the healthiest holiday yet?  The Holiday Survival Challenge can help you with just that!

Meal planning, the secret to my healthy success!

It took me a long time to see the value of meal planning.  I thought, why take the extra time to plan out my meals when I can just wing it & do just fine.  Right?  WRONG!  Because when I wing it & leave my food to chance I leave too much room for laziness, cheats, and quick-fix junk.  That is NOT going to help me reach my goals, it is not going to make my family healthy, & it's not going to teach my kids the healthy habits I want them to have in life.
Now I make a meal plan every Sunday.  But to me, it's more than just a meal plan, it's a plan for success!  I keep all of our weekly activities & schedules in mind & then map out all of our meals & snacks to match our time constraints for the week.  I then use my meal plan as a guide to my grocery shopping.  I stick to the perimeter of the store - grabbing my fresh fruits & veggies, stocking up on the lean proteins, some eggs & almond milk from the dairy isle - avoiding all the highly process, chemical sh*t storm in the middle isles.
When I get home I clean & prep veggies for easy snacking & place them at eye-level so they are the first thing we see when we open the fridge.
So what does a clean eating meal plan look like?  We eat 5-6 small meals/snacks each day, eating every 2 1/2 - 3 hours.  I pair a lean protein with a complex carb (fruit or veggie) to keep my metabolism burning.  Highly processed foods with lots of chemical junk that I can't pronounce is off limits.  Starchy carbs are used sparingly & refined sugars are little to none.  This healthy eating lifestyle is one that my entire family has been following for over a year now.  It is sustainable, affordable, and makes us feel GREAT!
Would you like more tips on how to make a meal plan or to learn more about clean eating?  Drop me a line at jessicahrbek@gmail.com or find me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/FitMommaOfFour . I'd love to help your family start living a healthy lifestyle.
