Savory Sweet Potato Puffs

January 7, 2016 By Lisa Spencer Leave a Comment

Sweet Potato puffs

These are the all time favorites of many of my clients. They are savory and comfort foodie and they are versatile.  You can make them in ball shape, or in a more pancake shape to top with chicken salad, salmon ar any other protein and toss on some sautéed veggies and you’ve got an easy dinner. I always get a delighted email after my clients they try these little sweet potato darlings…

Original recipe from Cookbooks 101

What you’ll need:

2 medium sweet potatoes 1 1/2 pounds in total
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 small cloves of garlic, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 big handfuls of fresh cilantro chopped
Juice of half a lemon
a scant cup chickpea flour
a splash of olive oil
a sprinkling of sesame seeds salt and pepper

How to make them:

Preheat the oven to 425F degrees and roast the sweet potatoes whole until just tender – 45 minutes to 1 hour. Turn off the oven, leave the potatoes to cool, then peel.

Put the sweet potatoes, cumin, garlic, ground and fresh coriander, lemon juice and chickpea flour into a large bowl. Season well, and mash until smooth with no large chunks. Stick in the fridge to firm up for an hour, or the freezer for 20-30 minutes. When you take out the mix, it should be sticky rather than really wet. Add a tablespoon or so more of chickpea flour if necessary (the water content of sweet potatoes varies enormously).

Reheat the oven to 400. Using a couple of soup spoons (put a well-heaped spoonful of mix in one spoon and use the concave side of the other to shape the sides) or a falafel scoop if you have one, make the mixture into falafilly looking things and put them on an oiled tray. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and bake in the oven for around 15 minutes, until the bases are golden brown.

Savory Curried Pumpkin Soup

December 9, 2015 By Lisa Spencer Leave a Comment

I had the most delicious evening with a group of my local clients.  We were all on our pre-holiday Clean & Lean Group Cleanse , and we had a lovely dinner together.  Everyone brought a cleanse dish and the food was FABULOUS!  We all got to chat about cleansing, share our results (12 pounds lost by one gorgeous cleanser!) and we had a RIOT  enjoying tasty food together and drinking our “Cran” Cocktails and bubbley Kevita waters.  One golden gal brought this savory and spicy pumpkin soup.  It was a recipe she originally got from an ayervedic site called Joyful Belly.  We all LOVED this soup so I brought it to Thanksgiving and the whole fam dug it too.  It’s a keeper…..

7 Ways to Ditch the Winter Blues

November 10, 2015 By Lisa Spencer Leave a Comment

Sad & Happy sunflower RAIN CROW

Hey there my friend, how are you doing with this SEASON change thing?

Do you feel that winter slowness creeping in?  For most of us it’s easy as pie to slip into couch potato mode this time of year. And we all need a little cozy R&R sometimes. On cold, wintery days, yoga pants + Netflix + sofa surfing can feel oh-so-good. But in the long run, you’ll feel better if you know how to battle that creepety creep of a low mood and low energy that can bring on a winter weary slump.

And as far as yoga pants go, I’m a fan. But did you know that there was a study that linked excessive wearing of stretchy yoga pants to sudden shrinkage of skinny jeans? Yes, that’s right! Read More
