Colorful vegetable medley
This month my entire office staff is attempting a detox, including myself. Although I already conscientiously do this, I have been making more of an effort to eat as many colorful vegetables as possible. Here is a dish I made recently with veggies from the farmers market. Please keep in mind that I have blogged […]
Homemade chocolate treats
I had to coerce a patient into sharing this recipe. It’s genius: You can satiate your chocolate craving without substantially increasing your blood sugar while moving your bowels! I’ve modified it a wee bit but I’ve maintained the essence of her creation… 1 oz baker’s chocolate, cut into chunks (please see blog on which […]
Poached Chicken
Poaching is a great way to prepare chicken since the nutritional value is preserved well and the Chinese medicine qualities are nourishing, as opposed to roasting or baking (which are drying). It’s really easy as well. Put a few of the following ingredients (celery, carrot, onion, green onion, leek, shiitake mushroom, fennel, peppercorns, parsley, thyme, […]
Tasty salad recipe
Brandon insists this is the best salad he’s ever had. It was pretty darn good, I must say. I had to resolve some leftover phlegm from my episode of sore throat/laryngitis last week so I wanted to eat radishes. I was trying to figure out what to do with them but I didn’t feel like […]
Spelt scones
Years ago I wanted to have an afternoon tea-themed bridal shower for my sister so I tried about 5 different scone recipes and all of them were just awful. Even my idol Martha Stewart had a crappy scone recipe. They all turned out like small hard blocks that you could throw at someone to knock […]
Wheat-free orange almond cake
This amazing recipe was shared by one of our dear patients who took a class with Hip Cooks and it’s the perfect recipe for those who want a little bit of sweet and are avoiding wheat (like me). As usual, I’ve modified it a little bit because I don’t like much sugar in my baked […]
Got candida?
If you’ve been told that you have intestinal dysbiosis, candidiasis or excessive amounts of yeast in your system, make some of this tasty pesto and eat a few tablespoons every day. It tastes great on top of steamed vegetables, poultry, etc. Do not cook this mixture! 1-2 cloves fresh garlic 1 bunch of fresh […]
Juicing recipes
At ECCM, we’re big fans of juicing. I know some of you are pretty good about getting your 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day but most of you aren’t. Juicing provides a highly concentrated form of vitamins and minerals that are easily absorbed and gives the gut a break from digesting solid food, […]
Rocky Canyon Grassfed Short Ribs
I had a break (for once) one day this week and was able to come home and actually prepare dinner for that night. I had defrosted some Rocky Canyon grassfed short ribs the night before and knew that I wouldn’t want to cook when I got home at 9:30 pm. So this is what I […]
