Mitochondria Miracle Soup
Instructions
In a large soup pot*, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat; add the onion and cook until nearly translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes, but don’t let it brown!
Add remaining veggies; sauté for just a minute or 2 (you’re not cooking them, just getting the wonderful flavor this quick step will infuse in your soup). Add the thyme, salt and pepper while sautéing.
Now place the veggies in a large slow cooker; add diced tomatoes and broth. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 9 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 6 hours (all slow cookers differ, depending on size, age, brand, etc…your mileage may vary). If your slow cooker isn’t large enough, simmer the mixture in the soup pot on the stovetop for at least 1 hour.
Just before serving, gently mash some of the sweet potato chunks against the side of the slow cooker or soup pot to thicken the soup; give it a stir and serve.
Recipe Notes
*LEANNE’S NOTE: This is a BIG pot of soup, you may need to do a half batch so it will fit in your pot or crock cooker. It freezes well. I like to make a huge batch and freeze some of it in single servings for later.
Quick Fixes for Soup Variations (Now remember: Don’t do this to the whole pot of soup…just the amount you pull out to fix yourself for lunch, etc.):
Quick Fix #1: Tex-Mex Veggie Soup: Add some salsa for a little heat (and a dash of cayenne if you like), a little ground cumin and chopped cilantro. Top with some diced avocado and more chopped cilantro.
Quick Fix #2: Tuscan Veggie soup – Add some fresh chopped basil leaves, chopped tomato and gluten free and nitrate free sausage.
Quick Fix #3: Autumn Veggie Soup – Add some diced acorn or butternut squash, a sprinkling of ground nutmeg and some chopped parsley. I also add an ample sprinkling of curry powder.

Hot Melt Loaded Breakfast Cookies
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 and line a jellyroll pan with parchment.
In a skillet, heat your ghee over medium high heat. Add the shallots and cook till translucent. Add the greens and ham and continue to cook till greens are wilted.
Now to a medium mixing bowl, add your almond flour and baking powder, mixing well. Add the beaten eggs and mix well, then the contents from your skillet. It shouldn't be too runny otherwise add a little more almond flour.
Add half the cheese and mix again. Now spoon out the breakfast cookies onto the parchment lined pan, a good 2 tablespoons per cookie.
Finish the cookie by sprinkling a little cheese over the top and pushing it down ever so slightly so it will bake in.
Bake for 8-12 minutes--watch it. It depends on the size of your cookie, your oven etc. so make sure you don't over cook.
When they're done, put on a rack to cool and store in a container or ziplock bag in the fridge. Lasts 4 days.
Recipe Notes
To make Paleo, just omit cheese!
