Thanks King Arthur Flour!

Before my gluten-free days I loved using the recipes that King Arthur Flour (KAF) had on their website. Since then not so much. So earlier this year I asked them if their kitchen would work up some truly gluten free recipes that would also taste good. This week in their catalogue I saw they had a Chocolate Torte recipe that had absolutely no wheat, rice, oat or barley flour in it.

Of course, I also don't use sugar or sugary products like honey in my baking since I am also diabetic, and I don't use cow milk products. . . so. . . .you guessed it, I adapted KAF's awesome recipe to fit my other needs and IT WAS SO GOOD! It met my need for a chocolaty dessert on so many levels.

Thanks King Arthur!

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.

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! 😄

Ham-Mushroom-Potato Soup

Potatoes on a lectin free diet?!? Per Dr. Gundry yes if you pressure cook them (I used my steam vegetables setting), but only do it occasionally. They are still heavy in carbs and if you are diabetic like me, they will make your blood sugar go up some. With that being said, I went about creating a yummy, creamy potato soup like the ones my husband used to make for us, only more compliant with the Plant Paradox way of eating.
