One Sauce, Three Ways

I have become obsessed with this sauce and I know you will too.   I’m not joking, I am putting it on every possible meal – and I’ve yet to find an ingredient it doesn’t enhance.  If that’s not enough of a teaser, I don’t know what is… So, I’ll just cut straight to the recipe.    Creamy Dijon Cashew Sauce *vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, no FODMAPS 3/4 cup raw cashews, soaked (at least 30 minutes) 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup nutritional yeast 1 tbsp stone ground mustard 1 tbsp honey mustard 1 tbsp apple cider… Read more >

Our daily oats

It’s true that I eat oatmeal almost every day.  I don’t think it’s boring, but that’s me.   I get questions rather frequently about how I make them…and while I never measure things as I go, I figured I should respond to the inquiries.  So last night, as I prepped for the work day, I got out the measuring cups and noted each and every step for you guys. Ready?   This is the basic framework.  3/4 cup dry whole rolled oats 2 tbsp chia seeds 1/4 cup raisins (no more or I risk overloading… Read more >

Twelve-nola

First recipe of 2012 comin’ atcha!    It’s fitting that it’s a granola recipe…me being a hippie and all.  Granola recipes are also my specialty.  I think I’ve pretty much mastered the balance of sweet, crunch, and hearty.  At least in my opinion.  Go ahead and make it and let me know what you think. Protein Power Crunch *high protein *gluten free *vegan (if eggs omitted) *FODMAPS friendly Ingredients: 1 cup whole rolled oats 1 cup uncooked quinoa 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup almond slivers 2 tbsp cinnamon 1 egg white (to make vegan sub… Read more >

Clean Food Cornbread (with a side of eggs)

Another Clean Food success story.    Since I was working on the 25th, Kyle made me Christmas dinner, which included Terry Walters’ skillet cornbread recipe.  He made it in a casserole dish instead, with a few changes, indicated below. Clean Food Cornbread 1/2 cup corn flour 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour 2 tsp powder egg replacer 1 whole egg 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup rice milk almond milk 3 tbsp maple syrup 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 seeded, minced jalapeno… Read more >

Butter me up

I’m sorry for leaving you all in suspense after the nutty teaser. I made this trio of nut butter spreads for Kyle’s dad… Holiday Spiced Peanut butter Chocolate Cake Almond Butter Coconut Peanut Butter There weren’t really leftovers…mostly because Kyle kept poking his head in the kitchen when he heard the food processor stop…smart boy.  But I did make an extra batch of the chocolate one.  Because you can never have too much cocoa almond butter. Since we’re on the subject of chocolate, I may as well start with that recipe. Chocolate Cake Almond Butter… Read more >
