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.

    I just followed my own directions 😊 and this revised recipe makes almost 18 cups. The reason, in the original recipe I forgot to include the water! LOL. Sweet potatoes are more dense by nature than pumpkin, so water has to be added to it where the pumpkin version does not.

Lectins - What are they?

     Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins.  They have been around for thousands of years.       Through trial and error, any animal, including man, learned how to avoid the ones that made them feel bad, and eat the ones that didn't.  For a detailed discussion of lectins purchase the book, The Plant Paradox by Steven Gundry, MD.       There is a specific lectin that has gained a lot of attention these days, but is really just a minor player:  gluten .   Many people assume that manufactured foods that are called "gluten-free" are also grain free.  Not so.  Where wheat, barley, and rye are eliminated, when you look at ingredients, you will probably find they have been replaced with corn, rice, or teff; which all contain forms of lectins similar to gluten.  Other products often found in them may include soy or other bean flours, which of course also contain lectins.     ...

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!

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 a...
