I WILL share them throughout the week though. So, if you have not sent in a recipe yet, do so now before the end of the challenge:)

- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder {don't use store bought due to the corn starch and other bad ingredients, but you CAN make your own baking powder by mixing 1 part baking soda and 2 parts cream of tartar and then use quickly! So, for 1 tsp mix 1/4 tsp baking soda with 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar.}
- dark chocolate chips ~70% or higher
- cinnamon
Mix together and, well, you know how to make a pancake;)

Ingredients:
Begin by heating up a large skillet to medium high heat. Once hot, add 1 Tbsp coconut oil. Place chicken in pan, heat about 2 minutes per side, and set aside {chicken will not be cooked through}. Add remaining coconut oil if needed. Toss in crushed garlic, asparagus, and mushrooms. Salute until asparagus is crispy, and mushroom are soft and fragrant {about 10min}. Return the chicken to the pan. Add in coconut milk, lemon juice and lemon zest. With the skillet on medium high heat, cover with lid. Wait until the mixture bubbles, then lower to medium low heat. Cook for an additional 3-5min or until the chicken is cooked through. Salt to taste. Serve!

In a blender, pulse cashews a few times with 1/2 cup broth. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth by gradually increasing speed of blender. Transfer to a pot, adjust seasonings and simmer on stove until heated through.
