4 servings

• 1 whole pastured chicken (or chicken pieces)
• 1/3 cup walnuts, broken into smaller pieces
• 1/4 cup apple, chopped (not peeled)
• Dash black pepper
• Dash cayenne pepper
• 2 pinches celery seed
• Celery salt, to taste
• 2-3 tablespoons coconut mayonnaise or sour cream
• 1-2 tablespoons mustard
• 1/2 large dill pickle, chopped (or 2-3 generous tablespoonfuls dill pickle relish)
• 1/4 onion, diced
• 1 tablespoons dried parsely

Boil chicken in a large stock pot full of water. When meat is done, pull out chicken and cool. Remove all meat from bones and skin. Return bones and skin to stock pot to make chicken stock.

Use 1-2 cups of the meat, cut up, for chicken salad. Save the rest of the meat for soup.

Mix all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Adjust to taste.

• 2 cups organic pecans & almonds 
• 1 cup (or more) Coconut Cream Concentrate
• 1 tablespoon (or as needed) coconut oil
• 1 - 2 tablespoons organic whole sugar (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan salt
• 1/2 cup (or more) shredded coconut or coconut flakes

Process sugar in a food processor until very fine.

Spread nuts in a cookie sheet and toast very lightly in a low heated oven. Place Coconut Cream Concentrate jar in hot water to soften. In a medium sized bowl, beat desired amount of Coconut Cream, your choice of sweetener (see below), coconut oil, and salt with a mixer until creamy. Make sure the sugar and salt are mixed in well.

Fold the toasted nuts into the mixture and mix well with a large spoon until all nuts are well coated. Spread mixture evenly on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.

Sprinkle the coconut shreds or flakes toasted lightly if desired over the Nut Crunchies and place cookie sheet in the refrigerator.

When cold, break apart the Nut Crunchies into bite-sized pieces and store in covered containers in the refrigerator.

Note: all measurements are approximate and can be varied to suit your taste. It is pretty hard to mess these up.

Variations:
Use any nuts you prefer, and/or use stevia instead of sugar to taste.

Stir dried coconut toasted into the mixture before spreading out.

Add flavoring such as a tablespoon or two of lemon juice and some lemon zest for Lemon Nut Crunchies.

Melt some organic dark chocolate, and spread over the mixture before or instead of sprinkling on the coconut and refrigerating.

Stir bits of dried pineapple into the mixture for Pina Colada Nut Crunchies

Use your imagination!

Beware: They are addictive! But sooo healthy too. Enjoy!
