Make it Monday - Gluten free pretzels
"The benefits to working with Juanita and doing the MRT/Leap diet are: Having a dietitian in my pocket.." Cindy Pretzels and mustard When I work with clients, I ask what are the foods they want to eat. The request came for pretzels and mustard to dip the pretzels in. I love google because I usually can find a dairy free, gluten free recipe for the different foods. The pretzel request was no different. I did make the pretzels. Shared them at my violin practice session. My fri

Make it Monday - How Sweet it is - Sweet Potatoes that is. Gluten free recipe
Don't confuse sweet potatoes with yams Most likely you are eating sweet potatoes, not yams. In the beginning, there was only the white potato. When the sweet potato arrived on the scene, sweet potatoes were called "yams" from the African word for sweet potatoes "nyami" to distinguish the difference between the two. Nutritional facts One medium sweet potato has an average of 103 calories, has 438 percent of the daily value of vitamin A, has vitamin C, and health promoting beta

Make it Monday - Butternut squash noodles - vegan/gluten free
A new way to fix butternut squash If this was a puzzle, perhaps the question would be, describe how to fix butternut squash. The traditional way would be to cook it and make it into a soup.

Equipment needed for the job A spiralizer A sharp knife or a vegetable peeler Ingredients: Butternut squash with a long neck and small bottom 2 tablespoons salt 1 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon bl

Make it Monday - Zucchini bread - gluten free
One wonderful thing to do with a squash and zucchini is to put it into a bread. For this Make it Monday, I wanted to make a gluten free bread, sorta of sweet, but not really. I have mentioned an issue with gluten free baking is gluten normally provides the structure for baked goods. When you have a single gluten free flour, you end up with a crumbly mess instead of bread. Other ways to give bread structure, have more than one type of gluten free flour in it and/or use eggs to

Make it Monday - Instead of tomato sauce
I love avocados! Never had one until about three years ago. But now have to have the avocado fruit in some form every day. For those who stay away from nightshades - tomatoes in particular, it may be challenging to find a topping for pasta. Especially when we are so used to having that on pasta or on pizzas. A simple recipe to try in place of tomato sauce or pizza sauce could be an avocado topping instead. Recipe Ingredients: One whole avocado - ripe 1/4 tsp sea salt 1/4 tsp

Make it Monday - Cheesy cashew recipe
Who would have thought the cashew could be such a versatile food item. Great to snack on it. But so many other possibilities too! I have already posted a cashew cheese recipe that could be great as a dip. It also could be used as a topping for pasta too. https://www.nutritionandhealthworks.com/single-post/2019/10/14/Make-it-Monday---Cashew-cheese---homemade Today's recipe is somewhat similar but is more "cheese" you could use for pizza, dips, and for a pasta "cheese."

Make it Monday - Quinoa pizza crust
Pizza seems to be a very much desired food. In fact, pizza may be more of an American food/staple now than ever before. So, how to have pizza - the crust, if you are following a gluten free diet. Options for a pizza crust could vary depending on what gluten free flour you are using. The choices could range from Almond, cashew, oat, rice, and even quinoa or amaranth. This pizza crust starts out a little different than what is expected. It is from quinoa that has been soaked i

Make it Monday - Cashew cheese - homemade
Like everyone probably already has guessed. I don't like to cook. Or if I do, it needs to be fast with only about 15 or 20 minutes in the kitchen. I have been baking and cooking because I want to be able to tell my clients who do the Leap diet what recipes are good to use and that they really do work. Some have been flops and I have ended up throwing the product away in the trash. Today I made cheese. Cashew cheese that is. "Seeing the changes, from when I started the diet to
