I love to have mini muffins for the boys lunches and I LOVE to sneak veggies into them.  I created this recipe and both boys have told me that they are some of the best I have ever made!  I like to freeze them and pop them into their lunches.  This way I am not tempted to eat them all in one sitting, too!

Ingredient:

• 4 carrots
• 1 1/2 cups oats (I used gluten free)
• 1 cup of all natural, no sugar added applesauce
• 1 egg
• 1/2 c honey
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla
• dash of salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove

I chop the carrots in my Vitamin or blender.  Once the carrots are finely chopped, I add the rest of the ingredients and blend together.  Fill lightly greased (I use coconut oil spray) mini muffin pans about 3/4 full.  Bake at 350 for about 10-15 minutes.  Enjoy!

Here is a new Gonzales Family favorite.

Honey Lime Chicken Fajitas

3 tablespoons Liquid Aminos (gluten free and 1/2 the sodium of even low sodium soy sauce!)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
juice of one lime
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
2 tablespoon cilantro
4 chicken breasts- cut into strips
sliced veggies- I prefer zucchini, but bell peppers, onions, etc would work

Make the marinade by adding the Aminos, honey, oil, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper, red pepper flakes and cilantro in a bowl. Whisk together. Add the chicken and veggies to the marinade and let sit for at least 1 hour.

In a frying pan add the chicken and veggies and sauté until chicken is cooked.

Serve over rice or on tortillas. Enjoy!
