Cream of Mushroom & Sweet Potato Soup

I had some mushrooms and a half of a baked sweet potato in the fridge and needed to use up the last of a can of coconut milk so I thought I'd see what I could make out of it... this is NOTHING like the mushroom soup you'll get from a can! Makes about 2 cups of soup (I think)

Since I rarely measure unless it's necessary, these are approximate portions.

Saute 1 clove minced fresh garlic and 1/4 cup chopped onion in about 1 Tblsp coconut oil until onion is almost translucent.
Cube the sweet potato (abut 1/2 of a baked sweet potato) into cubes. If you don't use a baked sweet potato, just cube it up and saute it with the onion & garlic.
Toss in about 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms and continue to saute for about 2 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/4 cup water, a pinch of  sea salt, fresh ground pepper, and 1/4 tsp paprika.
I added about 1 tsp Frank's hot sauce... I love the extra kick... I mashed up some of the sweet potato to give it a creamy consistency.
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until soup is at a steady simmer.

I enjoyed this one so much I was glad my daughter declined the spoonful I offered her... more for me! ;)

Paleo Pudding

Well, I've been slacking! Time to come back :)
I made what I'm calling Paleo Pudding
2 bananas
1 avocado
¼ cup pineapple juice (or a splash of lemon juice)
½ cup coconut milk (coconut butter would be better if you can find it)
Put all of the ingredients in a blender and mix together until creamy
Feel free to throw in frozen fruits, cocoa powder, almond butter, unsweetened coconut flakes, nuts, or whatever you can imagine, just keep it paleo... you want to play with flavors.
Trickiest part of this one is not slicing your tongue on the blender blades trying to lick them clean - ;)
