Dairy-Free Salted Caramel Flourless Chocolate Cake

Salted Caramel Flourless Chocolate Cake

I had you at salted caramel right? This Dairy-Free Salted Caramel Flourless Chocolate cake is to die for. I had taste testers from all ages and all loved it. WHOO!!! Creating this actually took me out of my baking comfort zone but it was well worth it. My favorite part is the caramel sauce though. I love caramel and I haven’t had any in years due to it having both dairy and corn which I can’t tolerate. Creating a dairy free caramel sauce is the best thing ever. I’m putting it on my coconut milk ice cream, drizzling it on my cookies, and sometimes even just eating a spoonful. I think you’ll love it even if you can tolerate dairy, it’s that good.

Salted Caramel Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe

flourless chocolate cakeFirst up, the cake. You will need 9 oz of a dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chip (I used Enjoy Life), 1/2 cup coconut sugar (allergic to coconut? No problem. Use sucanat sugar.), 6 eggs, 1/3 cup virgin coconut oil (if you don’t like coconut oil you can use butter), and 1/4 tsp sea salt. That’s it! Pretty awesome right? You’ll also need a 9-inch springform pan, hand mixer, rubber baking spatula, and mixing bowls.

Preheat your oven to 300. Oil the inside of the springform pan to prevent sticking. Then gently melt your chocolate chips in a double boiler with the coconut oil (or butter). Once melted completely, set aside to cool to room temperature. Separate the egg whites from the yolks into a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer on medium, beat the egg whites until they fluff up enough to form peaks, then slowly add the coconut sugar and mix in completely. Once the chocolate is room temp, mix in the egg yolks and salt by hand until mixed completely. (Pro tip: If the chocolate is too hot you’ll get scrambled eggs in your chocolate. Yuck.) Pour 1/3 of the egg white/sugar mixture into the chocolate and mix by hand with a rubber baking spatula. Then gently fold in the rest until mixed thoroughly. Be careful to not overbeat and “deflate” it. Pour cake batter into the springform pan and bake for 40 minutes.

Salted Caramel Sauce

While the cake is baking, it’s time to make your caramel sauce. You will need a 13.5 ounce can of full-fat coconut milk, a 1/2 cup coconut sugar, 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. In a small pan, add coconut milk and coconut sugar. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes. Every few minutes use a whisk or rubber spatula to mix the sauce, being sure to scrape the bottom and sides to prevent burned flecks in your sauce. You will do this until the sauce coats a spoon. Mine took the full 40 minutes but every stovetop is a little different. Stir in salt and vanilla extract. Pour into a glass jar and let cool.

Remove the cake from the oven and let cool completely before attempting to removing the springy side. Once cool, add caramel sauce and sprinkle top with a couple more pinches of salt. You can serve then or refrigerate and enjoy for up to 3 days. (Pro tip: Save some caramel sauce to enjoy with other things like cookies and ice cream!)

I have a thing for salads. I love the crunch, the I have a thing for salads. I love the crunch, the sweetness of the tomatoes, the saltiness of the olives, the earthiness of beets, paired with a delicious dressing.

To make the perfect salad at home you need:
✅2 different greens
✅several different veggies in a combination of: earthy, salty, crunchy, and flavorful/bite-y.
✅Protein of choice 
✅ a dressing that has vinegar or citrus juice plus oil and salt to counter the bitterness of the greens

When you have this combo you'll have a restaurant salad at home!
There's nothing that can compare to a snow day off There's nothing that can compare to a snow day off the beaten path. I love owning a #landcruiser so we can have these adventures.
We are having some beautiful winter weather this w We are having some beautiful winter weather this weekend and I'm stoked! Not only do we need the rain and snow (up north), I get to snuggle in and have enjoy comforting soup! 

I like to use bone broth as my base since it's pretty much liquid gold when it comes to health, then load up the herbs for flavor and their medicinal properties, then add veggies, chicken, and sometimes gluten free noodles. My family prefers less veggies and more noodles than I do so I often make two batches. Are you willing to do two batches of a similar meal to make everyone happy?
There comes a time when your patient load is full, There comes a time when your patient load is full, your running a practice full time, and just don't have the time to give to high-need patients that you used to.

Even though you have the coaching skills, there just isn't enough time. You don't have to overwork yourself or tell the patients to read the handouts again. Instead, you have a couple of options to improve patient success rate and their satisfaction with your care.

#1: Partner with a Health Coach. A health coach can be an invaluable asset to complement your practice. A good one can ensure your patients are clear on the why behind the treatment plan and guide them in implementing it successfully into their lives. I've talked with a lot of ND's and I know that there are a lot of coaches out there who just can't coach to the level you need for your patients. Everyone has their specialty and finding a coach that is able to follow your treatment plan correctly is a challenge. We are out there!
#2 Offer an Online Coaching Program. You can develop this yourself or you can become an affiliate to programs. Becoming an affiliate is nice because you don't have to put the hours into creating your own course and you make a supplemental income while providing patients with the support they need.

Having partnered with ND's for over 7 years, I have seen firsthand how beneficial a coach and online coaching programs are to their practices. It gives them more time to be the doctor and business owner while knowing their patients are following the treatment plan and getting better quickly, with less frustration. This past year I created an affiliate program for not only my ND partners but all ND's to be able to share with their patients directly from their websites. Everyone is happy, especially the patients. If you haven't yet, head to the link in my bio to learn more about my Coaching Programs available for your patients!

Quiche's are an easy way to create a breakfast for Quiche's are an easy way to create a breakfast for the week that is sustaining, delicious, and healthy all at the same time.

I like to use sweet potatoes as my crust, then I add in sauteed veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and garlic with precooked bacon or sausage, and if I'm feeling indulgent, some goat cheese along with salt, pepper, and herbs.

The cheese and sausage help keep the texture from getting dry when reheating. However, you can always top with salsa or avocado to help with that as well. This recipe can be found on my YouTube channel, Thrive Gluten Free.

Working from home have you more sedentary than eve Working from home have you more sedentary than ever? You aren't alone!

I'm hearing this from friends and clients alike. They used to get at least 6000 steps in a day and now they are lucky if they get 2000. They are having more hip and back pain too. At the office the bathroom is a lot further away, we had meetings to walk to, lunches, etc. Now literally everything is often on the computer. How does one build movement into your day when there isn't much room to do so? I have a couple of suggestions:

1. Take a 10 minute break every hour or between tasks. Go for a quick walk around your building, do some stretches, go refill your water, do a quick HIIT workout, just get up out of the chair and give your eyes a break. This micro breaks will not only improve your physical wellness, they actually help you be more productive too!
2. Workout during what would have been your commute time. There are a lot of free and paid workout programs out there that are 10-60 minutes long. Replace your would be commute with a workout. There's no reason not to!

These are my suggestions. What have you been doing to include movement into your days?
Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrie Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrient dense pasta replacement. It does have a different, sweet flavor that I prefer to pair with a mild spicy sausage or spicy marinara sauce versus pesto or other sweeter sauce.

This quick dinner is just a couple of chicken or pork sausage cooked in the pot with olive oil and garlic, then add in kale and basil leaves plus a couple of cups of cooked and shredded spaghetti squash topped with salt to taste. It's a regular during the fall and winter months.
