My Go To Muffin Recipe

This recipe is so flexible. As long as you use the same total amount of flour, 3 cups, you can mix a different flour in and out depending on what your taster likes.

You can add half as much vanilla and add something like coconut or almond extract.

If you're not a fan of cinnamon, then use something else (nutmeg, cloves, ginger or nothing).

Add-ins can be anything you like, but if you are diabetic like my husband and I try and stay away from dried fruits (like raisins) they are just little packets of sugar waiting to affect your glucose levels.

The xanthan gum, arrowroot starch/flour, and tapioca starch/flour are essential to the recipe. Since there is no gluten in these muffins, other ingredients must be added to hold them together.

Make sure the applesauce is made with no sugar added.

That being said, go make a batch and tell the rest of us how they turned out.

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.

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

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.
