Welcome to My New Blog

A few years ago, I shut down my blog on "Tiny Homes". I didn't think I would ever have another blog, but this week a Facebook friend suggested instead of having a private group, I should jump into the deep water and begin a blog for those trying to eat Lectin Free, Heart Healthy, Sugar Free, Keto, and Paleo Friendly. (Did I cover just about everything!?! LOL)

So Here I go . . .On October 13, 2017 after finishing the book, "The Plant Paradox" by Dr. Steven Gundry, I threw out everything I thought I knew about living heart healthy and sugar free. ("Heart Healthy and Sugar Free" was the name of a private FB group I started in 2016)

Almost a year later, having worn out my book, and having embraced the ideas he wrote about as my own "Normal" way of living, I find myself 40 pounds lighter, and more clear minded than I have been in decades.

I just want to scream out, where were the experts in 1984 when I first started experiencing difficulties with my health and weight? They were stuck in the "this is how we've always done it" rut. Thanks Dr. Gundry for opening my eyes and saving my life.

Now I want to share with you how to embrace "Lectin Free" eating as your new normal, and cook meals that you and your family will still enjoy.

Grain-Free, Sugar-Free and Lactose-Free MAGIC COOKIE BARS

Magic Cookie Bars were always a favorite of mine when I was growing up and then I made them for my own children. Wanting to be able to experience the same awesome taste as a Lectin Free eater I went to town making it compliable. Make sure you plan ahead, because they do need to sit in the refrigerator overnight before cutting into their chocolaty goodness.

Plant Paradox friendly Jerusalem Style Bagels

Earlier this year two of my friends took a guided tour to Israel. They saw and ate many things, but the food they remembered the most were the "Jerusalem Style Bagels" that they ate most mornings for breakfast. I found the traditional recipe online, and reworked it to be Plant Paradox friendly. They are always a big hit when I make them, like I did yesterday for my Sunday morning Bible class. I eat them dipped in oil, oil & vinegar, spread with butter, or a soft goat cheese product. The following recipe can also be modified to include sourdough starter (3/4 cup and reduce the flour by about the same amount.) Enjoy making them, and please enjoy eating them! 😄

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.
