What isn’t good with bacon in it?

This dip is actually better at room temp, after it has been chilled for several hours to let the flavors meld.

Enjoy!

Recipe: Avocado Stuffed with Seafood

Ok, so it’s avocado season again. And when I say avocado season, I mean it’s the season where you can pick them up at the store for a dollar a piece. That is a steal of a deal for a meal!

I love avocados just as serving platters, as this recipe attests to. You can do just about anything you want with the stuffing, experiment. Yum, I love the freshness of this recipe.

Enjoy!

Recipe: Pumpkin Curry Soup

Yum, pumpkin.

You know, I never know whether or not to treat pumpkin as a P3 or a P4 food. It works for some as a P3 food and for others as a P4 food. So I leave the decision up to you.

This is a really nice variety of flavors, and perfect for cold nights. It’s purposely been padded with a little extra fat in the form of butter, so adjust to taste.  Most awesome with a cold sweet dressing salad, then you have a whole variety of flavors your taste buds will thank you for!

Enjoy!

Thanks goes to Linda for tweaking […]

Recipe: Spinach Balls – Gluten Free!

Recipe: Spinach Balls – Gluten Free!

Spinach is so utterly versatile, don’t you think?

You can do so many things with it, but I gotta tell you that Spinach Balls are something I have missed for what seems like decades.  They are utterly delish, and I could never ever contain myself around them.  Little did I know back then it was because of the wheat!

So, I was experimenting with nut flours the other day, and I don’t know what made me think about it, but I thought to myself, would a nut flour work for spinach balls instead of that herbed dressing that shall remain nameless.  So […]

Recipe: Mini Stuffed Peppers with Feta and Bacon

Earlier this week I was caught without groceries, don’t you hate when that happens?  You have to get creative, especially when you don’t like grocery shopping as it stands.  HA!

These were really delish, and I have to say I prefer them cold as an appetizer rather than a meal (which is how I ate them!) – so this would be a great dish to take to a gathering.

The recipe calls for using frozen chopped spinach, but I had a bag of spinach that needed to be used up, so I chopped that up instead.

Recipe: Biz’s Confetti Coleslaw

I love food that takes forever to eat.  This is one of those foods.

Because of all the crunching you have to do, even just a small amount takes forever to eat.  It’s perfect if you are trying to do a raw day, and let’s not discount the fact that it’s pretty food.  Look at all those colors!!!

Pretty food that tastes good, raw, and high fat…can’t beat it.  Oh yeah.

Just a note.  The bacon is supposed to be put on the slaw just before you eat it, it will have a tendency to get a little soggy if you don’t.  The […]

Recipe: Spanish Cream

When I was growing up, this was ALWAYS in the fridge.  It is one of those things you never get tired of.  Recently I found out that some type of meringue is a staple for many cultures.  Most cultures will have some sort of meringue as a normal after dinner snack.  This is no exception.  My Mom tells me that it’s from Portugal, but couldn’t find verification of that?  HA!

When Googling around to see if gelatin was an OK Phase 3 food, I came across this fascinating article.  It’s quite long, so if you want the […]
