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.

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.

What are Lectins?

Dr. Gundry, m y health hero and the author of The Plant Paradox, has just posted a video on YouTube about what lectins are and why are they bad for you.  He explains it so simply.  Take a moment to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRB7OzGupTY

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.
