Diet Friendly Recipes

Here are some recipes we have come up with over the years. Great for anyone doing the "Anti-fungal diet" or anyone who just wants a healthy new dish :).

Crepes (I have to give Philippe credit for this, it is a huge hit.)

1 1/2 cups Flour (Spelt)
1 cup Milk
1 cup Water
2 Tbsp Butter (plus some for cooking)
1 Tbsp Honey
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp vanilla (or lemon extract)
2 large eggs

Combine Flour, Milk, Water and Eggs in a large bowl. In a small, glass container melt butter, extract of choice, honey, and salt in microwave and add to flour mixture. Whisk thoroughly. Heat butter in small, shallow frying pan until melted, spread over pan. When well heated pour batter into frying pan making a fairly thin circle- similar to a pancake but much thinner and large enough to "roll" once cooked. Allow to cook until the crepe is cooked enough to flip. Flip carefully and allow to cook on remaining side.

Fill with your choice of filling. We like "Polaner" jellies with cream cheese, honey with cream cheese, and maple syrup (for the kids).


Spelt Pancakes

1c Spelt Flour
1 & 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1c water
1 egg
3 Tbsp oil

Mix together and cook. Top with Brown Rice Syrup to be "fungus diet friendly".

Fruit Dip

Heavy whipping cream, plain yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon extract, honey

I have no measurements (sorry) but just add to taste as you go. Beat with electric mixer and chill.

Cheese Cake

3-8oz pack cream cheese
1/2 c honey ( I think)
1 Tbsp spelt flour
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1/4 c milk

Preheat oven to 300. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and honey until smooth. Beat in flour and vanilla until well blended. Reduce speed to low, beat in eggs and yolk one at a time. Beating well after each addition. Beat in milk until blended. Pour batter into greased, glass pie dishes-2. Bake until set and 3 inch from center slightly golden. Cool completely. Refrigerate overnight before serving (I don't do that last part every time). May garnish with fruit.

Quick and Easy Mexican "Doughnut"

Fill a flour tortilla with cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon. Roll it up and fry it in butter until golden on each side. May drizzle with honey and extra cinnamon.

"Iced Cream"

Combine honey, vanilla extract and whipping cream, beat until begins to set. Taste it as you go and add more of ingredients as needed. When stiff enough to form peaks, freeze.

Cashew Roll Ups

Spread cashew butter, honey and cinnamon (optional) in a flour tortilla. Roll or fold tortilla and cut into desired size.

Fruit Salad

1/2 large Green Apple, diced
several sliced strawberries
blueberries
chopped pecans
approx. 1/2 c plain yogurt
honey and cinnamon to taste

Mix well and enjoy. (Best served cold)

Pineapple Enchiladas

1 can crushed pineapple in juice (20 oz)
1/4 c sour cream (or more if desired)
2 c shredded cheese, divided (or more)
1 can enchilada sauce, divided
flour tortillas (at least 8)

Combine pineapple, sour cream, and 1c (or more) cheese in bowl. Spread 1/4c enchilada sauce in bottom of casserole dish. Fill and roll tortillas, cover with remaining sauce and cheese. Bake covered @ 375 for 30min

Carrots and Garlic

Cover the bottom of casserole dish with crushed garlic. Fill dish with cut up carrots. Pour olive oil over the carrots (about 1/2 -3/4 cup). Sprinkle with Mrs. Dash or the like, crushed red pepper (optional), Bake until carrots are tender. Sprinkle with Feta cheese. Bake uncovered until feta slightly browned.

Chicken with Mustard Sauce

2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
approx. 1/4 cup Italian dressing
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup gray poupon mustard

Fry skinless boneless chicken breasts (can cut up if desired) and veggie of choice (we like red peppers) in Italian dressing. When chicken is almost completely cooked, add about a 1 cup sour cream and 1/4 grey poupon mustard. Mix and cook until heated. (I am guessing the measurements so use your best judgement.) Great served with brown rice or brown rice pasta.

Chicken Ideas:
Bread chicken with Spelt flour and bake.
Dice chicken and cook with fresh veggies, lots of garlic and onion, and Annie's Terriyaki sauce for stir fry.

Side dish Ideas:
Stir fry broccoli with sun dried tomatoes,red peppers, garlic and onion in olive oil.
Saute green beans in olive oil with onion, garlic, and crumbled bacon.
Saute asparagus in grape seed oil.

Snack Ideas:
Spread a rice cake with cashew butter and Polaner jelly or butter and honey.
Green apples with cashew butter.
Green apples drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon.

FATHER FORGETS

by W. Livingston Larned
condensed as in "Readers Digest"


Listen, son: I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little
paw crumpled under your cheek and the blond curls stickily
wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone.
Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the
library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guiltily
I came to your bedside.


There are the things I was thinking, son: I had been cross
to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school because
you gave your face merely a dab with a towel. I took you to
task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when
you threw some of your things on the floor.


At breakfast I found fault, too. You spilled things. You
gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You
spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off
to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a hand
and called, "Goodbye, Daddy!" and I frowned, and said in
reply, "Hold your shoulders back!"


Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came
up the road I spied you, down on your knees, playing marbles.
There were holes in your stockings. I humiliated you before
your boyfriends by marching you ahead of me to the house.
Stockings were expensive-and if you had to buy them you would
be more careful! Imagine that, son, from a father!


Do you remember, later, when I was reading in the library, how
you came in timidly, with a sort of hurt look in your eyes?
When I glanced up over my paper, impatient at the interruption,
you hesitated at the door. "What is it you want?" I snapped.


You said nothing, but ran across in one tempestuous plunge,
and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, and your
small arms tightended with an affection that God had set
blooming in your heart and which even neglect could not wither.
And then you were gone, pattering up the stairs.


Well, son, it was shortly afterwards that my paper slipped
from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. What
has habit been doing to me? The habit of finding fault, of
reprimanding-this was my reward to you for being a boy. It
was not that I did not love you; it was that I expected too
much of youth. I was measuring you by the yardstick of my own
years.


And there was so much that was good and fine and true in your
character. The little heart of you was as big as the dawn
itself over the wide hills. This was shown by your spontaneous
impulse to rush in and kiss me good night. Nothing else matters
tonight, son. I have come to your bedside in the darkness, and
I have knelt there, ashamed!


It is feeble atonement; I know you would not understand these
things if I told them to you during your waking hours. But
tomorrow I will be a real daddy! I will chum with you, and suffer
when you suffer, and laugh when you laugh. I will bite my
tongue when impatient words come. I will keep saying as if it
were a ritual: "He is nothing but a boy-a little boy!"


I am afraid I have visualized you as a man. Yet as I see you
now, son, crumpled and weary in your cot, I see that you are
still a baby. Yesterday you were in your mother's arms, your
head on her shoulder. I have asked too much, too much.
