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.

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.
