Anti-Cellulite Massage

So we are now entering the second week of isolation, as my partner has had a cold for most of the two weeks. Hoping it is just that, but who knows. What i know, is that i love to cook as a coping mechanism, so how can i do this and not just blow up? Well it helps that i try to eat low carb and sugar, but it still finds its way into my daily life. I try to find recipes that support my immune system and have adopted an Autoimmmune lifestyle 6 weeks ago. I know lemons are high in vitamin C and that they are very detoxing, as well as low in sugars, so i usually buy 10 a week, but yesterday, i mistakenly forgot i had already bought them at one farmers market and bought 20! So what's a girl to do? well I made Lemon cookies with lemon sauce drizzle.

If you love lemon, you have to try these. It is a recipe i borrowed from https://empoweredsustenance.com/paleo-lemon-cookies/. I did not use the turmeric and i used collagen as my egg, as i am currently not eating eggs, dairy, nuts, beans, alcohol, chocolate and nightshades.

INGREDIENTS

For the cookies

⅓ cup coconut flour (find it here)
⅓ cup arrowroot flour (find it here)
1 tsp cream of tartar
¾ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp sea salt
⅛ tsp turmeric (for coloring)
¼ cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
¼ cup applesauce, at room temperature
¼ cup coconut butter, softened (not coconut oil - find it here)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 gelatin egg substitute made with 1 Tbs. gelatin (See step four below.)

¼ cup arrowroot flour
2 tablespoons honey
1½ teaspoons lemon juice
