Creamy Beet & Sweet Potato Salad (GF, DF)
I've been craving potato salad for years and can't tolerate white potatoes. I was googling some ideas to use up the beets that I have and came across beet potato salad, so I decided to modify some recipes and create my own with sweet potatoes. This is one of the most...
Chocolate Protein Drink With Beets & Mango (DF)
I had a bunch of beets to use up and one cooked, in the fridge, so when I made my usual chocolate protein drink recently, I decided to add 1/2 of a large beet. I was really kind of winging it here, having no idea what the end taste would be, and I would recommend...
Orange Mango Rice and Vegetables (GF)
I love making orange mango rice and vegetables, or orange anything, really. I may have a bit of an obsession with orange flavour, but if you don't like orange, you can always leave out any orange juice or mango in the recipe! They don't require it. I just can't use a...
White Bean Dip or Sauce (GF, DF)
White bean dip is one of my favourite dips and sauces. I really like the flavour with the artichoke hearts. The reason why I use apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice is simply because I'm allergic to lemon juice. But I find the artichoke hearts give it a mild...
Sautéed Haddock with Pesto, Mushrooms and Beet Risotto
Dad was making fish chowder on New Year's Day and I asked him if I could have a piece of haddock to cook for supper. He agreed, so I snatched a small fillet. But how was I going to cook it and what was I going to eat it with? I decided to cook it in a frying pan and...
Beet & Goat Cheese Risotto (GF, DF)
Beet risotto is one of my favourite dishes to make, especially with goat cheese added to make it creamier. I also add spinach, but that's totally optional. I just like to take every opportunity to add greens to my meals, and I really like spinach with goat cheese....
Chocolate Protein Gluten Free Pancakes
I love these Chocolate Protein Gluten Free Pancakes. They are so filling and delicious. I originally took Valley Flax Flour's pancake recipe and changed it to suit myself and add more protein by adding chocolate protein powder and then orange juice for some added...
Cucamelon Apple Cider Vinegar Relish
So, why cucamelon relish? Why apple cider vinegar relish? Why not! I spent hours searching the internet for a cucamelon relish recipe. Cucamelons are also known as mouse melons. I grew a healthy harvest of them in my garden, much more than I wanted to eat in salads,...
Gordon Ramsay Inspired Scrambled Eggs (GF, DF)
Don't laugh. I've never been taught how to make scrambled eggs. I've always sort of liked them and liked eggs, in general, but when I thought of scrambled eggs, I thought of bland and dry. Something I would want to eat only on rare occasion. Mom would beat them in a...
Baked Kale Chips
My garden didn't produce as much kale this year as I would have liked. Usually I have a good supply of frozen kale to last at least part of the winter, so I don't have to buy it... because I put kale in almost everything I cook! My farrier was trimming my horses the...
Lisa’s Cream of Broccoli Soup (GF, DF)
I winged this cream of broccoli soup and didn’t measure everything I put in. Just go with it. How badly can you mess it up? At the end, I added some DF milk (Silk Almond Coconut Blend) and water to make it the consistency I wanted it, and herbs and salt to my taste....
Brown Rice & Vegetables (GF)
This is a yummy, easy and flexible rice meal that you can modify in any way you like - leaving something out or adding something else, using different vegetables, different meat, different herbs, using a different rice and adjusting the cooking time accordingly, etc....
St. Patty’s Day Spaghetti (GF, DF, TF)
This spaghetti with green sauce recipe is perfect for St. Patrick's day and it's healthy too! I enjoyed making this. It tasted soooo good. 🙂 It's versatile. Don't be afraid to experiment with it. Add the ingredients you like or have on hand. You can use any meat (or...
Green Hummus/Sauce
This is a healthy multi-use hummus or sauce. It can be used as vegetable dip, chip or tortilla chip dip, pasta sauce, mayonnaise replacement, or anything you like! I have a tomato allergy, so I often use it as spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce. Being green, it's perfect...
