bacon (uncured, unsweetened, such as Applegate)
sweet potatoes (washed and pierced with knife or fork)
unsweetend almond milk
goat cheese
salt and pepper
grass-fed butter (optional)
Cook bacon - crumble and set aside.
Wrap sweet potatoes separately in tinfoil. Place in 450 F oven for about 45-60 min. (depending on size), until soft. Remove from oven and open tinfoil, allow potatoes to cool enough to handle. Remove potato skins and place meat of potato in a bowl. Mix in salt and pepper, add unsweetened almond milk, 1/4-1/2 C at a time until desired consistency. Sprinkle goat cheese and bacon on top.

350 F; 8 min.
3/4 C gluten free flour
1 C almond flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/3 C coconut oil or grass-fed butter (if using coconut oil, keep solid, but warm enough to mix - break up chunks as best as able)
2 Tbsp maple sugar
1 Tbsp coconut sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
Note: Coconut cookies - use coconut oil. Lemon cookies - add lemon rind. Ginger cookies - add 2 tsp ginger, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp clove, 1/4 tsp nutmeg.
Mix in mixing bowl, egg, vanilla, coconut oil or butter, sugar. Mix dry ingredients together and add to wet ingredients. Mix well. Roll between 2 pieces of parchment paper, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out shapes and cook on cookie sheet with parchment paper. Bake for about 8 minutes. Keep dough cool. It becomes hard to work with if too warm. Place in refrigerator between rolls.
1/2 C pure maple syrup
4-6 Tbsp arrowroot powder
1 tsp vanilla
Place in pot over medium heat. Stir pretty consistently; allow mixture to boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer. Continue to stir. Allow to simmer for about 3-5 minutes. Frost on cookies when liquid. Keep an eye on the icing, will start to harden between frostings, keep warm. If becomes too hard, can either try to make liquid by rewarming (if not too hard), or if the icing is too hard, add about 1 tsp of water, break up hardened icing, mix well over low heat. Depending on consistency of icing, can dry within minutes on cookies, or over a few hours.
Note: This was an experiment and my first time making icing that actually hardens! Feel free to trial and error with this recipe! :)
