Recipe: Scotch Eggs

This is my easy take on Scotch eggs.  I love these things!  Add a veggie on the side and you have lunch!

Ingredients
4 eggs
1 pound ground pork sausage*

*I buy my sausage from For His Temple Foods in West Monroe.  It's from Mahaffey farms in Shreveport- happy, free roaming, grass-fed pigs make healthier meat!

1. Boil your eggs.
2.  Peel your eggs.
3. Divide your sausage into 4 equal portions.
4. Wrap each egg in one of the portions of the sausage.  I like to flatten the sausage as much as possible, then, enclose the egg inside and pinch the edges closed.
5. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 mins

DONE!

Recipe: Protein Truffles

Protein Truffles

I like these when I'm craving a little bite of something sweet!  You can experiment with different flavors of protein powders and nut butters.  I like to add some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, too.

Filling Ingredients
2 scoops whey protein (I used Bone Broth Protein in Vanilla)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
1/4 cup almond flour
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1-2 Tbsp almond or peanut butter

Coating Ingredients
Dark chocolate (70% cacao or darker is best!)  I don't really know a specific amount here... just enough to roll your balls in!  Stop it with your dirty mind.

Directions
Blend all filling ingredients until smooth.  Divide dough and roll into 8 equally sized balls.

Heat dark chocolate and stir until melted.  Feel free to add a bit of stevia if you like your chocolate sweeter.  Dip each ball into the melted chocolate one at a time, and using a spoon, make sure each is completely covered in the chocolate.  Lay each ball on a sheet of parchment paper on a plate, and refrigerate until firm.
