Ingredient lists:



"GBC"



  • 2 lbs green beans, ends chopped off

  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, chopped however small you’d like. You can do it so they’re really fine and make it like cream of mushroom soup from the can, or if you like mushrooms, leave them a little more chunky.

  • ½ large onion, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp ghee OR grassfed butter

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • 1 tsp sea salt, more to taste

  • ½ cup full fat coconut milk, stirred before measuring – it separates in the can

  • ½ cup raw unsalted cashews

  • 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice

  • ½ cup water


Elevated Cranberry Sauce



  • 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries*

  • 1/2 cup orange juice - I usually get 2 oranges and just squeeze the juice myself

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/2 cup honey or pure maple syrup

  • 2-4 teaspoons fresh orange zest

  • pinch of cinnamon 

  • pinch salt 


Bacon Brussels Salad

  • 1/2 cup light olive oil or avocado oil

  • 3 Tbsp apple juice

  • 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
