Today I wanted to share my recipe for baked sweet potato chips… it requires only 3 ingredients (all of which you probably already have on hand). You can make these homemade sweet potato chips as thick or thin as you’d like— the thinner you slice them, the crispier they will be. I keep them around to snack on but also find them delicious crumbled into salads and to top warm soups. Enjoy! ⁣ ⁣ Ingredients ⁣ 1 large sweet potato ⁣ Olive oil ⁣ Salt ⁣ ⁣ Instructions ⁣ 1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. ⁣ 2. You can use a mandolin slicer or a knife to cut the sweet potatoes into thin rounds. ⁣ 3. In a large bowl, toss the cut sweet potatoes in olive oil and salt. ⁣ 4. Lay them on the parchment paper in a single layer. ⁣ 5. Bake for 20-25 minutes (flipping halfway) until golden and crisp. ⁣

“Keep the pumpkin recipes coming!”— I hear ya, I hear ya. I’m glad to see and receive so many messages of you guys trying my various pumpkin recipes this Fall. Here’s the recipe for my browned-ghee pumpkin and orange muffins. I’m dairy-free— my body has never really tolerated it well so when I tried a version of browned-ghee, I was SO excited about the indulgent, buttery flavor. I know this will become a regular in your Fall baking rotations! ⁣ ⁣ Ingredients ⁣ For the wet ingredients: ⁣ 1/3 cup ghee ⁣ 1 cup pumpkin puree ⁣ 2 large eggs ⁣ 1/2 cup coconut sugar (you can also use maple syrup or honey) ⁣ 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice ⁣ Zest from 2 large oranges ⁣ 2 tbsp freshly grated ginger ⁣ 1 tsp alcohol free vanilla extract ⁣ ⁣ For the dry ingredients: ⁣ 1 cup almond flour ⁣ 1 cup rice flour ⁣ 1 tsp baking soda ⁣ 2 tsp ceylon cinnamon ⁣ 1/2 tsp nutmeg ⁣ 1/2 tsp ground ginger ⁣ 1/2 tsp allspice ⁣ 1/2 tsp salt ⁣ ⁣ For the glaze: ⁣ 1 cup full fat coconut milk (thick part only— leave the liquid in the container)⁣ 1-2 tbsp fresh orange juice ⁣ 1 tsp orange zest ⁣ 1/2 cup honey ⁣ ⁣ Instructions⁣ 1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a muffin pan with liners. ⁣ 2. Brown the ghee by adding it to a saucepan over medium heat. After a few moments, it will begin to foam. Make sure you continuously whisk during this process. You will know your ghee is browned when the color is a beautiful rich amber color shade and the scent will be nutty. Move the ghee to a bowl and set aside to cool.⁣ 3. In the meantime, add the wet ingredients to a bowl and whisk well. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in the cooled brown ghee and divide the batter into the baking liners. ⁣ 4. Bake at 350F for 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. ⁣ 5. To make the glaze, whisk the coconut milk, orange juice, zest and honey together. Once the muffins are cool, glaze and enjoy!

The other day when I shared with you about my skin problems, I received many messages of women (and men!) who wanted to know my go-to methods for clearing skin without any of those harsh and abrasive chemicals sold to us on the shelves. ⁣ ⁣ One of my favorites? Chamomile tea. This flower has been used by the Romans, Greeks and Egyptians to promote healing of the skin and even to treat wounds. Chamomile tea contains Chamazulene, a chemical compound that has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. It can even help skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. Additionally, it’s packed with antioxidants which help to boost the skin’s health. ⁣ ⁣ I drink it but if I’m facing a really bad breakout (like mine right now from my corn allergy), I will even use it topically on the acne spots. ⁣ ⁣ To use it topically, I will brew the tea for a long time and keep a small bowl covered in the fridge. I’ll dab a cotton ball in and use as needed. Sometimes, I’ll even add it to a spray bottle and use it as an all over facial toner. Just make sure to keep it in the fridge! ⁣ ⁣ It really helps to calm those angry and inflamed marks and has even helped in the past on cystic acne. This is my best DIY acne trick. What’s yours?

Saturday brunch! For this super simple meal, I sautéed sweet potato shreds with onion, garlic and spices, added in kale and topped with an egg and some micro greens! If I had a ripe avocado on hand, I would have added that too but I think adding tomatoes, jalapeños, or cilantro (if you like it!) would also be delicious additions. Add it to your recipe rotation for brunch (or dinner— I’m not judging!) ⁣ ⁣ Ingredients ⁣ 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil ⁣ 1 handful of sweet potato ribbons ⁣ 1/4 cup of mushrooms ⁣ 1 egg ⁣ 1 handful of kale, diced ⁣ Salt & pepper to taste⁣ Hot sauce of choice ( I used one from Siete) ⁣ ⁣ 1. In a small non-stick pan over medium heat, add 1 TBSP of olive oil and sauté sweet potatoes and mushrooms for 2-3 minutes. Add kale and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and plate. ⁣ 2. Add 1 TBSP of oil or ghee and crack the egg into the pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until white is set, then cover the pan for one minute (or flip) until yolk is set. ⁣ 3. Season with salt and pepper⁣ 4. Add kale, sweet potatoes and mushrooms to plate and top with fried egg.  ⁣ 5. Top with hot sauce of your choice (I used siete jalepeno and habanero flavors)

For a satisfying and comforting dish, look no further than my mushroom and pumpkin risotto. This meal feels luxurious but it’s an easy dish that I love to whip out when I need an impressive, yet cozy meal. This risotto is full of autumnal goodness with delicious spices, savory mushrooms and sweet Fall pumpkin. Enjoy! ⁣ ⁣ Ingredients ⁣ 5 oz shiitake or oyster mushrooms ⁣ 4 tbsp olive oil ⁣ 3 cloves garlic, minced ⁣ 3/4 cup pumpkin puree ⁣ 3 cups vegetable broth ⁣ 1 cup Arborio rice ⁣ 1 shallot, minced ⁣ Parsley for garnish⁣ Salt and pepper to taste ⁣ ⁣ Instructions ⁣ 1. In a skillet over medium heat, heat half the olive oil. Add washed, stemmed and sliced mushrooms and sauté until brown (about 5-7 minutes). Season well with salt and 1 clove of minced garlic. Once browned and seasoned, remove mushrooms from skillet and set aside. ⁣ 2. In a bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth and pumpkin puree. If it’s not whisking well, I recommend heating it up a bit. Set aside.⁣ 3. Put the pan back on heat and sauté the minced shallot for 3-5 minutes in some olive oil. Stir in rice and toast, stirring consistently for a few minutes. ⁣ 4. Pour in two cups of the pumpkin broth into the rice and simmer until the rice absorbs the liquid. ⁣ 5. Continue adding in broth (1 or 2 ladles at a time) until the rice is cooked and starchy. ⁣ 6. Stir in the sautéed mushrooms and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Not sure if it’s the cooler temperatures or the football games on TV, but Fall has always put me in the mood for chili. I love this recipe because it’s meatless, but is not lacking in flavor.
