Cool Vanilla Weight Gain Pudding – Paleo and SCD

Cool Vanilla Weight Gain Pudding – Paleo and SCD

Feb 10, 2021 | Uncategorized

Weight gain is something many kids I meet need to work on. But so often, strategies include allergens or other problematic foods that they can’t have: Milk protein (casein), eggs, ice cream, full fat yogurt, cream, Pediasure (that’s milk protein), cane sugar…. What to do?

Shakes, puddings and liquid boost drinks are a great way to do it. Use this hypoallergenic short cut pudding that is full of protein, healthy fats, and some SCD legal carbs and proteins too. Don’t skip the crushed ice in the bottom of your mixing container, it gives a refreshing coolness to the whole recipe!

Cool and soothing, not to mention a big hit of easy to digest calories that help rather than hurt healthy gut bacteria. This will yield as much as 500 calories per serving (recipe makes two generous servings) depending on the size of avocado you are using.

Pumpkin Pineapple Bundt Cake – Gluten Free, With Benefits

Pumpkin Pineapple Bundt Cake – Gluten Free, With Benefits

Apr 13, 2015 | Uncategorized

I’d like to show you a picture of this cake, but it was eaten before I could get that. I’ll have to be quicker next time. It went fast, with two teens in the house. It’s gluten free, and even with the benefit of reduced sugar, it vanished: Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index than white sugar, but works well here with the natural sweet of the pumpkin and pineapple. Pecans and walnuts work well too, but those are allergenic in my house. Organic raw nuts in the filling are a healthful addition for minerals and clean fats. You can add a glaze or icing once this is out of the oven, but we deferred that and everyone thought it was plenty sweet.

Kale Slaw with Honey Lime Dressing

Kale Slaw with Honey Lime Dressing

Dec 8, 2014 | Uncategorized

With all the heavy food we love to eat at this time of year, not to mention sweets and homemade eggnog, I was craving a light but satisfying raw greens combo. This slaw is perfect – lighter than summertime slaw with raw cabbage or broccoli, but hearty with its creamy dressing, seeds, and dates. Also a colorful accompaniment for a holiday meal spread of roasts, fish, or chowders.

Ingredients
  • 1 small-medium bunch kale any type chopped into small pieces
  • 1 small head lettuce butter lettuce, red lettuce, or green lettuce, chopped into small pieces or shredded
  • 1-2 scallions minced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro rinsed and minced
  • 1 carrot grated finely
  • 1/4 cup dates minced
  • 1 stalk celery thinley sliced
  • 1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds
Dressing
Servings: people
Instructions
  1. Wash, rinse, spin dry, and chop the greens, scallions, and cilantro. Toss together in a large serving bowl. Grate in the carrot, and add the minced celery, dates, and sunflower seeds Toss again.
  2. You will need an immersion blender or small food processor to make this dressing easily. Otherwise, use a rubber or wire whisk or electric beaters with whisk attachments. Start with the egg, lime juice, and mustard and process or blend for 15 seconds. Next, add the oils (slowly while blending is ideal) and continue to process until it thickens into a mayonnaise-like texture. Add the honey and salt and finish blending. Adjust lime juice, honey or salt to your taste, blending thoroughly to creamy texture, then fold in the lime zest if you have it.
  3. Pour dressing generously over the greens and toss all together into an evenly dressed slaw. Enjoy!
