Carrot, Zucchini, and White Bean Fritters

Eating as well or better at home as I do in a nice sit-down restaurant has always been my goal as a homemaker.  (Yes, even though I had a challenging career, I was still a "maker of a home" for my family; and proud of it too!)

Now that it is only my husband and I (all the kids have flown the coop and have families of their own now)  We don't always eat a 3-4 course meal (protein, veggie, and carbs).  Sometimes it is all combined into one item.  Even if it is a one item meal, I still want it to look good and taste good - I don't want to feel like I have short changed myself with a mediocre meal when I have the skills to make it memorable. 

 A few weeks ago we created a Lectin-Free version of a veggie fritter we saw on Facebook.  They turned out really well.  I ate mine with some homemade sugar-free ketchup.  My husband chose worcestershire sauce.  I think a creamy tahini  sauce would also be good with them, but I was out of yogurt.  My husband said between a bun like a burger.  

If you make them smaller they would also work well as a snack or appetizer.  

As always, let me know how they come out for you.

Sweet Potato-Apple Butter

I was at a craft show over the weekend and bought a small jar of Pumpkin-Apple Butter from one of the vendors.  Not at all on my diet and chalked full of those lectins I have give up.  Well, I bought it for some muffins I made to take to my Bible study and everyone loved it so I decided I had to find a way to manipulate the recipe so I could enjoy it too.  It was so simple of a conversion I didn't even finish a cup of tea while doing it!  It is full of all those traditional fall flavors so many of us love to eat.  Hope you enjoy it too.

Grain-Free Harvest-Spice Cookies

This is the time of the year I have traditionally loved cooking with pumpkin.  Since I am eating Lectin Free I have had to look for a way to meet that need by tricking my taste buds into believing I am eating pumpkin. My friend Shelly, who is eating a Keto diet, gave me a cookie yesterday at the quilting group we belong to.  One bite and I said, "I MUST HAVE THAT RECIPE!"  She sent me a link this morning. I manipulated it for my specific eating needs, went immediately to the kitchen, and this cookie is what I came up with.   If you can afford to cook with Monk Fruit, do so.  It has an awesome sweet flavor.  If not, then like me, mix Stevia and Swerve together as indicated in the recipe.  It will still give you an awesome soft cookie with all the traditional fall tastes we have grown to love.

Plant Paradox Friendly Peach and Pecan Muffins

I love my go-to muffins, but today I just needed something a little different.  Peaches, Pecans, and Nutmeg are the difference, plus I swapped out the sorghum flour for amaranth flour.  My homemade peach jam sweetened with stevia and erythritol is very good with them too! Have fun making and eating them!
