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.

Lectin Free Hot Cereal

One of the things I love to eat for breakfast during late fall and winter is hot cereal. Most of us think 'Oatmeal' or 'Cream of Wheat' or something similar. As a kid I really loved Malt-O-Meal. This morning was cold (we got our first snow last night) and I needed ( NEEDED ) Hot Cereal for breakfast, so last night I put together my mini size crock pot with Sorghum and Millet grain. It turned out OH SO GOOD! Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Green Salsa Taco Style Soup

My refrigerator magnets spell out, "The Cold is Here!" What is better on a cold day than homemade soup. Keeping with my goal to be as lectin-free as possible I embarked on a goal to make something that would be warm and spicy without any beans. (I have issues eating too many beans too often) I know, a tall order. But then I came up with this Green Salsa Taco Style Soup. If you don't have a problem with eating corn, you can substitute the Chayote squash and/or mushrooms for a large can of hominy. But since I am no longer eating corn I went on the hunt for something else for my particular crock pot of soup. Give it a try. We loved it enough to eat it two days in a row! If you like it spicier, then add more Sriracha sauce to it.

Lectin Free Mini Baked Omlets

Occasionally I get tired of eating gluten free muffins for breakfast, so I have come up with another way to utilize my muffin pans. (By the way if anyone is wanting a gift suggestion for me, I could use a new set of muffin pans. Mine are getting pretty worn out.) These mini omelets can be made and frozen in a ziploc bag to be used on those mornings when time is short or you just don't feel like cooking anything. Of course, they are awesome right out of the oven. Because I eat the Plant Paradox diet I only use goat products unless it is a very aged, hard cheese that has fermented and and that fermentation process has changed the chemical makeup of the cow's milk it is made from. I also use Eggland eggs which are h igher in Vitamin E, Omega-3, Iodine, and Lutein than ordinary eggs. And, I also try and use organic vegetables and fruits. I never believed it made a difference until I had back surgery and suffered a heart attack. But simply by changing my diet I
