Healing with veggies and copper

Sunday prep day?  NOT SO MUCH. This week was allllll kinds of off because of the aforementioned food poisoning. Luckily I had no room in my diet for produce until Tuesday…which is when I finally got to the grocery store to restock. Heyooooo. I spent a solid 45 minutes washing and cutting and storing – shredding kale, chopped carrots and celery, and roasting – before bolting off to school pickups.  I am still super proud of squeezing in two stores in before doing all that jazz.  I was h u s t l i n… Read more >

TJs cauliflower gnocchi

You guys, this cauli gnocchi is legit. I wasn’t sure what to expect because they are a frozen grain free pasta product.  There are like 4 things in that sentence that shouldn’t work together.  Also, TJ’s cauli pizza crusts were only meh.  And they have similar ingreds.  BUT!!  BUT BUT BUT. This is majorly better than the pizza crust and I went gaga over it. Per the instructions, I cooked it from frozen in a sauté pan.  It got a little gummy and stuck to the pan but in the end, the texture of the… Read more >

Blended coffee

The idea of putting something hot into a blender?  Ummm…side eye…orrrr…not? To be honest, the reason I never looked into the whole bulletproof coffee thing (and all the iterations of recipes that have been born since that one was trademarked) wasn’t because I thought butter and coffee shouldn’t mix (I don’t, nor do I think it’s an adequate replacement for breakfast, but that’s not the main issue), but because I feared whizzing steaming coffee would end in some kind of disastrous burn. Turns out, it’s not as scary as I thought.  Not at all.  But!  Ever since… Read more >

Danielle Walker’s Against All Grain

I’ve been following Danielle’s blog for a while and she frequently alludes to recipes in her various cookbooks that sound delicious.  Her blog is very allergy conscious, which is one of the many reasons I started following it (back when P was diagnosed with multiple allergies).  She also comes from an SCD background (similar to FODMAPs) and so that was another key thing that intrigued me (because so few people are knowledgeable in both cooking/recipe writing AND IBS dietary treatment protocol).  So I decided to check out her cookbook from the library to see if it might be worth the… Read more >

Hummus sauce chilaquiles

You could certainly go a bunch of directions with this recipe, but I kept it vegan because…LOOK!!! Chilaquiles are obviously a traditional Mexican dish, so this is not in the realm of authentic.  However, I wanted to tweak the idea of a dish with fried tortilla strip topped with a spicy tomato sauce and cheese (which is what chilaquiles are) using a hummus sauce as the base. Also, it’s super bowl season and Sabra is the “official dip sponsor” so obviously I had to get involved.  Check out dip zone.com for more info on how Stacy’s and Sabra… Read more >
