CrockPot Sweet Potatoes


5 medium sweet potatoes or 5 medium yams
Sea Salt
Macadamia nut oil
Foil

Wash potatoes but don't dry off. Place potato on a square of foil (enough to cover the sweet potato). Puncture a few holes in the sweet potato and then oil them with macadamia nut oil (or olive oil). Sprinkle sea salt and wrap them up in foil. Place potatoes in crock pot and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours (cook time depends on how thick and large your potatoes are). We make up extra so we have them on hand throughout the week. I mash them up with a tad bit more oil and sea salt. Scrumptious!

Dark Chocolate Banana Pops


Whole Peeled Bananas 
1 Cup Dark Chocolate (melt over stove add a tablespoon of coconut oil while melting)
Shredded Coconut
Chopped Nuts (we chose walnuts but macadamia would be divine)
Kabob Sticks

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  In a bowl add the toppings you choose (I used chopped nuts and shredded coconut). Pierce the banana with the kabob stick and dip the banana in the melted chocolate then roll it in the toppings you chose.  Place on the parchment paper.  After you finish the number of bananas you need place the baking sheet in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours.  I have been trying to find a way to incorporate peanut butter but have yet to figure it out.  If you have a suggestion post it on the blog :). Delicious.
