Quinoa Meatballs & Why Quinoa?

Written on . Posted in Main Dishes, Recipes. 2 Comments on Quinoa Meatballs & Why Quinoa?

Why did we make quinoa meatballs?  Because we are back to eating super clean for awhile after loosening the reigns on vacation, which means no bread or even oats for bread crumbs, so I had to get creative.  By the way, if someone tells you that “zoodles” (zucchini noodles) taste just as good as regular pasta, ask yourself if you can really trust that person.  Sorry to all the zoodle lovers out there.  It’s still good, but just not the same. The meatballs were great and wait until you hear about the benefits of quinoa!

  1. Quinoa makes you feel full faster because of it’s high protein and fiber and is associated with weight loss.
  2. It contains prebiotics, so for anyone trying to heal their gut, it’s a great alternative to rice, and it’s also gluten free.
  3. It can ward off diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

Gluten & Grain Free Pie Crust & An Eat Pray Get Well Book

Written on . Posted in Breads and Muffins, Desserts, Main Dishes, Recipes. No Comments on Gluten & Grain Free Pie Crust & An Eat Pray Get Well Book

Hi everyone! I am back from hiatus and I’m brining you something you are sure to love.  A gluten free, grain free pie crust!  

We took a much needed break and went back to the smokey mountains in Tennessee to recharge.  It’s one of our favorite places to be, and although I haven’t talked much about this here on the blog (or maybe not at all)  I just finished writing my book Eat Pray Get Well.  It was a dream placed in me over twenty years ago to write a book about my difficult childhood long before Eat Pray Get Well blog even existed.  The book is a wonderful combination of all the fantastically healing recipes on the blog, along with crucial health tips relating to many diseases, with the important addition of emotional healing.  Emotional healing is something we don’t find ourselves talking about much, yet it’s so closely tied to our physical healing!  I felt compelled to write a book that I wished had been around back when I was searching for answers.  I hope it will help many of you on your journey to better health.   I will give you more details as the book release date gets closer (somewhere around mid October)  it will be available in some book stores as well as online. UPDATE!!!  My book can be found on my website, and Amazon,  also book stores within Tampa International airport and some health food stores.

Yep, another chickpea pasta recipe!  This time a taco pasta recipe. I bought a case of chickpea pasta recently so I apologize ahead of time for all the chickpea pasta recipes coming your way!  You can tell we have kids in the house by some of these recipes (it looks a bit like hamburger helper).  This is actually a nutritionally solid meal.  I added some fire roasted tomatoes and grilled red pepper to make sure there were veggies in there.  We paired this with a kale Caesar salad.

Creamy Cauliflower Cheese Soup

Written on . Posted in Main Dishes, Recipes, Side Dishes. No Comments on Creamy Cauliflower Cheese Soup

This creamy cauliflower cheese soup may look bland, but it’s anything but!

We returned home from vacation tired, and full of airport and vending machine food.   Unbeknownst to us, the airport would be our home for next eight hours due to a delay.   This particular airport was so small there were no restaurants inside, only a vending machine and bodega type store.  So we fueled up on plenty to ease the boredom!    The next morning,  exhausted from the trip, the last thing I wanted to do was go food shopping.  I scouted the fridge and cupboards and I saw a head of cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, and chicken bone broth.  That was going to have to be dinner since I was set on staying in and relaxing.   I knew it would taste much like broccoli cheese soup so I wasn’t worried.    Everybody loved it and if you make it in the crock pot it takes less than ten minutes to put together.  You could make your soup more colorful and fun if you use purple or orange cauliflower.  I served it with some grain free cheese rolls I had in the freezer.

The Creamiest Mashed Cauliflower

Written on . Posted in Main Dishes, Recipes, Side Dishes. No Comments on The Creamiest Mashed Cauliflower

This creamy mashed cauliflower really surprised us.  No, it doesn’t taste exactly like mashed potatoes, but I was surprised just how close.  Now I find myself making this all the time and sitting down and eating an entire head of cauliflower (in the creamy mashed form).

This recipe tasted especially good after coming off a 30 day cleanse with no dairy!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Nutrition Facts:

Cauliflower – this low calorie vegetable is great at fighting inflammation, warding off cancer, and is great for heart health for starters.

Grass fed butter – real grass fed butter is not bad for us, unlike margarine, real butter is good for your heart, and is a great source of vitamin A.  It also contains CLA which helps fight cancer.  Enjoy!

Coconut Whipped Cream (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

Written on . Posted in Desserts, Kaufmann 1, Recipes, Snacks. No Comments on Coconut Whipped Cream (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

When I first started the Kaufmann diet due to chronic illness many many, years ago, I didn’t know how I could ever go without my nightly dessert.  The deeper I dove into the diet and studied the ingredients, I realized there is a plethora of desserts to be had!  This coconut whipped cream recipe takes three minutes to make and can be topped on berries, grain free pancakes, or on its own.  Having something that resembles dessert on the Kaufmann diet can make this life change very satisfying to both your health and your sweet tooth.

In order for a dessert recipe to be Kaufmann diet friendly, all you really need to do is replace ingredients such as wheat and sugar with the proper substitutes.

What is the Kaufmann Diet?

The purpose of the Kaufmann diet created by Doug Kaufmann is to starve pathogens such as candida and yeast in order to avoid or recover from the many diseases they cause.  For a full explanation, read my article titled What Can I Eat.

What You Will Need for Coconut Whipped Cream

  • 1 can coconut milk chilled overnight (not coconut cream) You may also use heavy whipping cream and this would also be ok on the Kaufmann diet.
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp xylitol or stevia to taste

Instructions

  • Open can of coconut milk that has been refrigerated overnight.
  • Remove only the “cream” at the top and set aside coconut milk.
  • You can store this for later use in smoothies, etc.
  • Place cream, vanilla, and sweetener in a bowl and mix with hand mixer until smooth (about 2 minutes).

Beef & Quinoa Stuffed Cabbage

Dear Candida diet,

(or paleo diet, or Kaufmann diet, whatever you want to call it) I’m not going to lie, I did not miss you this weekend when I cheated.  You DO make me feel good, but at times, especially when I’m with friends trying to enjoy myself, you are a royal pain in my a**.  But I submit, I’m back,  and something good came out of that today, this delicious beef & quinoa stuffed cabbage!

This weekend we went to an Italian Festival, and much like the Roman’s we did not deprive ourselves much of anything!  No, I didn’t make my personal 30 day goal of eating super clean at 100%, but I don’t feel bad, there is a gift in understanding your body and what it needs, but sometimes what it needs is to let loose and forget about hard, fast rules and live life!  Although it was fun and I enjoyed every moment of eating what I know is not the best for my health personally, I am happy to be back to basics because it’s where I feel my healthiest, and most energetic!   I know so many of you try to stick to eating very clean when you are healing your body, what situations or food make it difficult for you?

I have to admit I did not see this avocado toast recipe (Clean Juice copycat) coming.  Unless it shows up in the form of guacamole, I am not usually very interested in avocado.  But after a trip to Clean Juice with my step daughter, I have changed my mind about this bland fruit.  I took one bite of her avocado toast and on the way home bought all the ingredients to go home and make a Clean Juice copycat recipes version.

What You Need For Clean Juice Copycat Recipe

  • drizzle of olive oil
  • fresh lemon juice to taste (I did about 1 tsp)
  • crushed red pepper (to taste)
  • pinch of Himalayan sea salt (or more to taste) avocado is a bit bland without the salt
  • pepper to taste
  • I also add a sprinkle of Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel seasoning.
  • The best bread for avocado toast is a delicious yeast free sourdough bread

Best Bread For Avocado Toast

You can use any yeast/gluten free bread.  I usually look for a sourdough, a millet, oat, or amaranth, and if you can find it mixed with seeds even better.  If you are following the Kaufmann diet, this would be Kaufmann 2 (or phase 2) friendly.

Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Written on . Posted in Main Dishes, Recipes. No Comments on Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Looking for more recipes where you can ditch the bread and use real food as wraps?  This stuffed poblano pepper recipe is pretty much like a burrito gone healthy.  You can enjoy all the flavors of a Mexican meal while still nourishing your body!

 

The poblano pepper is relatively mild so the nice thing about this dish is you can make it as spicy (or not) as you’d like.  The Crunch Pak green apples add just the right amount of sweetness to this savory dish.  

Nutritional break down of this meal: (the exciting part)!

Poblano Peppers – one poblano pepper contains 25% of the daily recommended dose vitamin b2 and riboflavin.  Riboflavin is what helps fight off cancer cells.  They also are great for the immune system and reduces inflammation.

Avocado – there are so many good thing about avocado, where to even start?  They are heart healthy, have more potassium than bananas, can help lower cholesterol, contain a lot of fiber, help fight cancer, and promotes healthy skin, hair, and eyes.

Green Apples – high fiber content, contain antioxidants, help lower cholesterol, contain potassium and vitamins like K and C.

Tomato – contains nice amounts of vitamins B6, A, C, potassium, and iron. Good for your heart, vision, and digestion.

Yogurt Cheese – my favorite reason to eat yogurt cheese, it provides a nice little dose of probiotics!
