I love liver! Hey, growing up in central Europe, we prized all the organ meats except the heart (too tough). Brains, mm good! ;-) Sweetbreads, heaven!
Here is another liver recipe that takes minutes and does not require electric gadgets. I serve it on arborio rice with pickles.
chicken livers (more tender than beef), separated or cut into similar chunks
butter (don't do oils any more)
raspberry vinegar
red currant jelly
salt, pepper, caraway or other herbs
Saute the onions in butter till lightly golden. Throw in the livers and brown on both sides. Add salt and pepper or any other herbs (I like ground caraway). When done (takes only a few minutes), place on top of rice on a plate. Add raspberry vinegar and jelly to the frying pan and scrape the liver juices, quickly thicken and pour over the livers. Yum!
We made the muffins, kids loved them! It's so great to make desserts that set an appropriate bar for sweetness. We used coconut flour instead of beet root. Is there anything specific to look for in cocoa powder? We just got a store brand organic kind. Looking forward to trying different nut butters/adding cinnamon etc.
I'm not sure re cocoa powder, I just buy the organic stuff from Costco and hope for the best. And yeeeaah those muffins are always a hit. I actually made them with grass-fed butter instead of nut butter for my daughter's preschool group (because nut allergies) and they were really good that way too (and maybe healthier?). Lately, I've found the almond butter version the tastiest, so big thank you to my peanut-allergic friends for forcing me to branch out <3
Ok, I saw somewhere in another article you mentioned it so I was curious. I know it has laxative effects so didn't want to go serving it to the fam willy nilly 😄 And regarding honey that makes total sense.
Ha! I think it was castor oil, but maybe I'm misremembering. It was either in a discussion about vitamin D or prenatal vitamins generally I think? And I thought you said something about eggs, castor oil, and sunlight.
You *can* but I wouldn't recommend it because honey loses its nutrients when heated at a high temperature! (This is why you want to use raw honey instead of pasteurized honey too). It basically just becomes sugar. Tastes great though. Maple syrup can be heated up so you keep the nutrition when you bake with it.

The beetroot powder actually adds sweetness so I encourage you to pick up a bag! Can be hard to find in stores, but easy to order online.

Lol I'm extremely pregnant right now and flakey AF but I don't recall mentioning castor oil! I don't know much about it.

Cod liver oil!
I was like, why am I not seeing anything about vitamin D when I search...what inside scoop does Meghan have?
That's the one 😂😂😂
Also, do you have a particular type of castor oil you like?
I haven't used castor oil, really, though I keep meaning to pick some up ...
Can you swap honey for the maple syrup in these?
