Miscarriages caused by wheat?
Gluten sensitivity is a known risk factor for recurrent miscarriages. However, until recently we weren’t sure whether it was the gluten itself causing it or the some other factor associated with gluten sensitivity. In this study they investigated the effects of a gluten free diet on recurrent miscarriages and they found that you can greatly […]
Detox Dessert
I took this picture before I scarfed it all down. Unfortunately Brandon decided to start his spring detox 2 days before his birthday so I had to come up with something that was relatively detox-friendly yet still a treat! So I came up with a lovely pie-type thing which actually came out great. It was […]
Fingerling potato purslane salad
On July 4, Steve made an amazing summer potato purslane salad. Purslane is an amazing green vegetable that looks like a succulent. It has a tangy bite to it and it’s one of the only vegetables that is high in omega 3 fatty acids. It’s only in season during the summer months and we can […]
Banana coconut shake
This is the most amazing smoothie I’ve ever had. It is better than any milkshake I’ve ever had without any dairy products or refined sugar plus lots of electrolytes, potassium, fiber and good fats. This serves 2. Ingredients Water and meat from 1 young coconut 1 banana 1-2 T raw organic coconut butter […]
Infused oil recipe
This might look like murky water but it is my new favorite topping for any kind of cooked vegetable. It’s so darn good. I never used to like anchovies until very recently. Anchovies are totally safe because they’re such small fish and won’t likely accumulate any toxicity unless you’re in the South China Sea or […]
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 […]
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 […]
Y’s Wheat-free food list
Ok, this initial list was compiled by a patient . . . so all of you people on the anti-inflammatory diet send lots of good karma her way for sharing this. Suggestions for adding to the list can be made in comments. Disclaimer #1: though technically wheat free, spelt is not gluten free, so […]
