Creamy Cucumber and Radicchi Salad (plus more)

Mayo

Lemon juice

Honey

Apple Cider Vinegar

Sea salt

Mint optional

(Let sliced radicchi sit in dressing awhile to eliminate any bitterness)

Lettuce

Radicchi

Cucumber

Seriously! 80 half sausages for 5 euros and a bag of frozen spinach for 1 euro has turned into so many meals! With this you get what you see. Red onion, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, herbs/salt/pepper, in the the spinach.

Spinach Tomato Pizza [GF] with Vegetable Crust

 Did I actually eat it or just photograph it [I have since removed excess photos]? Oh, I ate it alright and quite gladly so. Was using up my remaining diary products before swearing them off until probiotic consumption increases and tolerance improves.

Mix together well and form into round or square shape and bake 230 C (450) for 10 minutes or less on an olive oil coated cooking sheet:
3/4 cup mixed cheeses (parmesan, mozzarella, etc...)
3/4 cup cauliflower, 1/4 cup broccoli with stems, 2 tbs carrot (precooked and shredded)
1 egg
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp oregano and basil
FS pepper
2 cloves garlic minced

Toppings:
Sautee on one side:
Red onion
1 garlic clove
Add last minute:
Cherry Tomatoes
Parsley
Sautee on the other side
Spinach

Lemon juice
Basil
Oregano
Add last minute:

Olive oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Red pepper flakes

Have for lunch or supper, it probably took 30 minutes including baking time. Alternately, eat only part of it and save some for breakfast with an egg.

Pizza is like pancakes, easy and quick to experiment with.

Experiment and enjoy!

Spicy Dijon Sausage Cabbage Rolls

Should have written down my "splash and mix" recipe immediately, but hey I'm not perfect.

1/4 - 1/3 cup mayo

1 - 2 tbs dijon mustard

1/2 tsp thyme [timo] (maybe and/or parsley?)

dash red pepper flakes

lemon juice?

cholula hot sauce?

plenty of four seasons pepper

Sautee in skillet:

1 tsp olive oil

2 seasoned (italian) sausages

1 medium red onion sliced

cholula hot sauce

Add last minute to just heat up:

Cabbage leaves from top of sauerkraut batch

Half a sausage with onions and tons of sauce to one cabbage leaf.

Sincere apologies I cannot provide an exact recipe, because it was SO GOOD!!

Raw Vegetable Pasta with Garlic Chicken

[Picture coming soon]

Toss:
1 carrot (peeled completely into strips)
1 zucchini (same as above)
4 button mushrooms sliced
optional sprinkle with lemon juice and sea salt

Cook covered in skillet:
1 small yellow onion sliced
sea salt and pepper
When onion is slightly tender, add:
1/4 cup pre-boiled chicken
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp parsley
*don't over cook onion

Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar

I ate it cold as a packed lunch. Quite good and nutrition :).

Hope you like it.

Breakfast Sweet Fruit Salad

Prepare fresh fruits and toss together:
1 1/2 cup Deseeded grapes (quickly slice width-wise and swipe seeds out with finger)
1 Large Orange
Lemon (peel, break into eighths and slice in half to easily remove seeds and cut into bite sizes)

Eat! (Manage your bites, mix lemon with orange and grapes accordingly so you don't end up with only lemon) Yum yum and fits the Hallelujah diet guide for food combining - grapes (sub-acid) orange and lemon (acid).

Orange Chocolate Yoghurt Pancakes [Gluten-Free]

Another one of those experimental things, but hey that is what I am all about.

I'm working on going raw...ish. Alright two meals out of three a day and fresh juice will be raw. Still keeping my gluten-free creations [pancakes!], chocolate, fermented veggies (a form of raw right?), homemade broths and occasional meats (mineral, amino acid, etc source). Maybe I need to come up with a different name than raw food diet; maybe: GAPS diet with more fruits and veggies. Will come up with something soon.

Mix:
2 yolks
1 - 2 T honey
3 - 5 squares milk chocolate (from bar) melted
1/2 tsp lemon juice or better yet, orange juice, zest, or oil
2-3 tbs orange flavored yoghurt (I used half a single serving cup)
1/2 tsp vanilla (one packet dried)
1/4 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
Stir in:
1/3 cup almond flour (+/-)
1/4 cup flaxseed meal (+/-)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Whisk two egg whites until stiff and fold in.
Sauté in butter (coconut oil distracts)

I ate them plain, but you could serve it with blood oranges and Nutella

Need to make them again to confirm ingredient amounts and increase chocolate/orange flavor amounts (I adjusted the recipe above by guessing). The folded in egg whites really made a difference and could possibly make these as waffles instead.

Experiment and Enjoy!

Thursday's Savory Supper

Opted for the word "Supper" over "Dinner", but now I realize it doesn't matter whether I ate this for lunch or the "evening meal" could have even eaten it for breakfast. It's mealtime neutral.

Anyway this definitely departs from my transition into a raw[/gaps] diet, it was fatty and flavorful. Definitely prompted my new poor etiquette habit of licking my plate clean.

In 1 tbs olive oil, fry intact until halfway cooked:
Seasoned sausage (it was a guess-and-grab at the italian supermercato)
In same pan thaw frozen spinaci cubes.
Slice sausage into bite size pieces, turn to cook on both sides.
Remove spinach and mix in sea salt, pepper, basil, lemon juice, dijon mustard.
Push sausage to one side of pan to keep warm. Crack egg into oil/sausage grease, keep yolk runny but whites crisp; sprinkle with salt/pepper/parsley. Return spinach to pan to reheat for a few seconds.
Plate and eat! Took 10-15 minutes!

Not quite "healthy", but it was REALLY good! Drink a cup of probiotic homemade broth on the side and you have yourself a GAPS meal.

Enjoy!
