Guest Post: White Chocolate Peppermint Truffles
It is a pleasure to have another guest post from my friend Starlene. Starlene blogs at GAPS Diet Journey where she chronicles her journey on the GAPS Diet and creates GAPS Friendly recipes. She also has recently released her first book, Beyond Grain and Dairy. This is a cook book filled with dairy free, GAPS approved recipes for everything from appetizers to deserts. ~PattyLA My original goal in creating this treat was to create a white chocolate version of my Chocolate Coconut Fudge Bites. Then I wondered if I could make it low oxalate as well. My curiosity was piqued recently when I read a blog post at Roo’s Clues which talked about how oxalates “…injure and kill the mitochondria” and it made me wonder if I should look more closely at avoiding oxalates. Patty has written a very informative post called What Are...
Read MoreGinger Spice Bread
I discovered this recipe last fall and have made it many times. Everyone who has eaten it has loved it no matter what they usually eat. I like to bring this to get togethers this time of year because it is popular with a wide spectrum of tastes. Also everything in it is a staple in my pantry so I always have the ingredients on hand to throw it together if I haven’t planned anything for a party. I hope you enjoy it! Ginger Spice Bread 8 eggs 1/2 cup melted Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil, butter or Palm Shortening 1/2 cup Coconut Milk about 8 Medjool Dates 1 tspVanilla 1 tsp Ground Ginger 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon or 1 drop cinnamon essential oil* 1/4 tsp Ground Cloves or 1 drop clove essential oil* 2/3 cup Coconut Flour 1/8 tsp baking soda *Use essential oils for the cinnamon and...

Peppermint White Hot Chocolate
Those who are on the Low Oxalate Diet know that chocolate is not allowed. It sadly has far too many oxalates. However, white chocolate is allowed! It isn’t the same thing but it is rich and tasty and makes a great hot winter drink. I almost don’t miss the brown stuff. My kids had this for the first time today. I made it for them last week but drank it all before they appeared. Oops! They liked it a lot and I love how quick and easy it is and it is filled with healthy foods and even some sneaky gelatin! Peppermint White Hot Chocolate 1 oz Cocoa Butter Wafers(my wafers were 13 to an oz. These may be different.) 1/8 tsp Ground Vanilla Beans 1-2 drops Be Young Peppermint Essential Oil (How to order) 2 eggs...

Winter Cranberry Roast
Turkey Day is over and you may be finding yourself longing for some different flavors. You may also find that you still have some cranberries in your fridge or at least they are still plentiful in the store. This roast is very popular with my children and it gives a new twist of flavor to a plain old roast. Best of all it doesn’t take very long to get ready and then sits in the oven for hours breaking up the chores of making dinner. Serve this with some sauteed kale and winter squash and you have a perfect hearty winter meal. I hope you enjoy it! Winter Cranberry Roast 3-4 lb chuck roast or other similar roast. I get mine from Missouri Grassfed Beef 3 tablespoons lard or other healthy fat 1 teaspoon salt pepper to taste (use...

Pumpkin Cranberry Spice Muffins
I was trying to think of a fall muffin flavor. This seemed to be just the right combination. The mild sweetness of the muffins contrasts nicely with the sharp bright flavor of the cranberries. Load them up with some good grass fed butter and nothing could make for a better snack. I have been thrilled to discover a way to make the spices of this season work for people on a Low Oxalate Diet! I have been really enjoying my new found food freedom with cinnamon and cloves added back into my diet. I have the LOD substitutions listed under the ingredients. Add them at the same time as you would be adding their ground spice equivalent. Pumpkin Cranberry Spice Muffins 5 eggs 1/2 cup cooked pumpkin (I use butternut squash it tastes the same) 1 cup pitted Medjool Dates,...

Pumpkin Nog
Need something to get you into the holiday spirit? How about hot Pumpkin Nog! It is so yummy and warm and creamy. I have made it several times since Amy Johnson shared the recipe with me. Now I’m going to share it with all of you! You can also drink this cold if you can resist guzzling it all down as soon as it is made. This recipe makes 2-3 servings depending on size but I have been known to make it while my kids are doing their daily quiet time so that I won’t have to share. I’m also going to tell you how to make it LOD compatible if you need that. I am drinking the LOD version myself. Hot Pumpkin Nog 2 eggs 2 TBSP butter 2 TBSP Coconut Oil 2 TBSP Honey 1/4 tsp Sea Salt 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract...

Benefits of Liver Cleansing
photo credit: kaniths via photopin cc I recently shared the Be Young Liver Cleanse Recipe. Some have asked me why they might need to cleanse their liver. We tend to think of liver problems being only something for an alcoholic to worry about. Yet your liver is one of your most important detox organs. It takes on the brunt of neutralizing and detoxifying the various chemical that enter your body through ingesting them, skin contact with them and inhalation of them. Not to mention the ones that we willingly put into our bodies via dental work and preventative medicine like vaccines. Those of us with MTHFR mutations need to be even more careful of what we put our livers through since they have to work extra hard to detoxify our bodies. It is important to continuously support and cleanse...
