Considering my website primarily focuses on food, I had a bit of a forced break due to a long overdue kitchen renovation. I can't even begin to share how excited I am about our new space and I am even more thrilled to actually get back in the kitchen and get back to cooking up healthy meals for my family. This long break, and of course a new kitchen helps too, have motivated me to get creative and think outside of the box a bit more. I found myself stuck, trapped in time, and in a constant rotation of the same old recipes week after week. One thing I have found, with kids who follow <a href="http://www.elizabethmjacob.com/2017/02/what-is-scd-diet-and-how-do-i-get.html#.YbKTqC-B3yU" target="_blank">the SCD diet </a>you really need to switch it up and constantly offer new flavors to sample. Don't get me wrong, I still have my giant go-to binder with our favorite recipes, but I am hoping to expand that index. </p><p>SCD friendly granola is always a go-to for an easy breakfast option, after school snack, or even dessert. This recipe is adapted from my <a href="http://www.elizabethmjacob.com/2019/05/crunchy-vanilla-granola-scd-paleo.html#.YbKTzi-B3yU" target="_blank">Crunchy Vanilla Granola </a>recipe, but I switched it up a bit and added a spicy turmeric flavor paired with a touch of black pepper to help the body better absorb this super food. Turmeric is a staple in our diet and we incorporate it into our daily meals. In fact, my husband and I have a turmeric latte (golden milk) every single night. I'll make sure to share that recipe next because it is also kid approved! </p><p>Benefits of turmeric:</p><p>+ May slow or prevent blood clots</p><p>+ Fights inflammation </p><p>+ Improves brain health</p><p>+ Lowers your risk of heart disease </p><p>+ May prevent cancer </p><p>+ May reduce depression </p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-webkit-standard, serif"><b>GOLDEN TURMERIC GRANOLA</b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">SCD, Paleo, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free</span></i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.75pt;"> </span><span face="-webkit-standard, serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">yield: about 5 cups </span><span style="font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.75pt;"><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">INGREDIENTS </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">1 egg white</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">1 cup cashews</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">1 cup almonds</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">1 cup walnuts</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">2 cups shredded coconut </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">1/2 cup golden raisins</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">2 tsp. vanilla extract</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">2 tsp. cinnamon</span></span><span face="-webkit-standard, serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">1 Tbs turmeric</span><span face="-webkit-standard, serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">2 tsp ginger<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">1 tsp cardamon</span><span face="-webkit-standard, serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">1/2 tsp black pepper</span><span face="-webkit-standard, serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">pinch of salt </span><span style="font-family: Vollkorn, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.75pt;"><br /><span style="background-color: white;">1/3 cup honey</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">2 Tbs coconut oil </span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">DIRECTIONS</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">1.

Nothing pairs better with wintery weather than a hot bowl of nourishing soup. With all the ups and downs of this past year, comfort food seems to fill our tummies and energize our minds. </div><div><br /></div><div>As most of you know, we have been following the SCD <a href="http://www.elizabethmjacob.com/2017/02/what-is-scd-diet-and-how-do-i-get.html#.YC76by1h2-w" target="_blank">(Specific Carbohydrate Diet)</a> for almost six years! It's hard to believe it' been so long. While we have always lived a healthy life; this clean, healthy lifestyle diet has become second nature in our home. Most days, I don't even think twice. I just prep, cook, bake, clean, repeat. And, thankfully, my son has remained healthy and remission. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div>Unfortunately, this past year (starting over the summer in 2020) has brought a few bumps in the road. While we have always followed SCD strictly, we have added in some foods with no problems. We have successfully added plantains, cocoa powder, oats, potatoes and sweet potatoes. No rice for us, my so has noticed it bothers his stomach. We try to eat these foods in moderation, but "try" can be hard for an active, soccer-playing, growing teenager. Over the summer we had a few days with severe stomachaches. Lab-work in August did come back slightly elevated, but not enough to cause major concern with our GI. At this same time, our son had an infected wisdom tooth and all four came out with surgery, which could easily have caused the inflammation that appears in his bloodwork. Fast forward to today, and we have still had a day here and there with stomach pain. Today we followed up with another round of labs and I am very anxious to see those results. </div><div><br /></div><div>So, for now, it's lots of comfort food that is well-cooked, full of nutrients and one hundred percent SCD compliant. Brace yourself for several more soup and stew recipes! They are always our go-to when we have set backs with Crohn's disease. </div><div><br /></div><div><style class="WebKit-mso-list-quirks-style">

I enjoy cooking with apples all year long, but I especially love to incorporate them into cuisine when they are in their prime season. Nothing beats a crisp, Ohio apple. <p></p><p>Now that my oldest is a freshman in hight school, our schedule for the morning leaves little time for breakfast. We all know how important this first meal of the day is, so that's why we prep the night before so breakfast can be made in minutes, but yet it is packed with nutrients. These Apple Cinnamon Muffins are easy to whip up and can easily be paired with a smoothie or scrambled eggs for a complete meal. </p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(35, 31, 32);">Apples are rich in fiber, </span>vitamins<span style="caret-color: rgb(35, 31, 32);">, and minerals, all of which benefit health.

I'm sure everyone can relate when I say these past few months have been quite a journey. We watched our schools close as we transitioned to learning from home. In our case, we watched our business shutdown, only to reopen with significant change. We are still learning how to function as small business owners during these times of uncertainty and COVID, yet we managed to launch a new business that kept us going through quarantine. <a href="https://cantonprovisions.com" target="_blank">Canton Provisions Company</a> has been something we've been working on for awhile, but when covid hit our community and the doors of our restaurant closed, it was time to kick this online specialty grocery store into high gear. Between everything going on over these past months, I have had little time for writing and photography. But don't worry, I have been documenting all my recipes and have some new ones to share! Quarantine definitely fueled my creativity to think outside the box. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As for our health journey, I am in the process of working on a Crohn's disease update and will share soon. That has also been a journey. July brought on some stomach issues that we weren't sure what to make of, and then August proved elevated lab work for Jonas. While dealing with those symptoms he also had severe inflammation and infection in his mouth due to his wisdom teeth. We quickly scheduled surgery to remove all four wisdom teeth and he has healed well. We follow up with lab work in three weeks, but in the mean time we are back to strict SCD to fight off his inflammation. Thankfully, with August and September his stomach aches have subsided and he appears back to normal, but we all know the body can be deceiving. The bloodwork will be the true test. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh yes, one last note! Jonas has officially started his high school career and has been back to soccer since July. He was rostered on the top JV team and is four games into the season. We are beyond thrilled to be back to soccer. Fingers crossed we get a full season. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I created this recipe while Jonas was healing from his wisdom teeth surgery. We love soups in our household, especially when you pair them with a big salad for dinner. This recipe is extremely easy and quick to put together. It is perfect for the fall season that lingers right around the corner. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><style class="WebKit-mso-list-quirks-style">

A Monte Cristo sandwich is a fried ham and cheese sandwich, a variation of the French croque-monsieur. The Monte Cristo is sometimes covered in powdered sugar and served with maple syrup or preserves. Growing up, this was one of my favorite dishes my dad would make and I would literally jump up and down with excitement when he announced he was making Monte Cristo sandwiches for dinner, just as I did when he made crepes for breakfast. While I still have yet to master the SCD crepe (thankfully my dad has!) my kids do love this healthy, SCD version of the Monte Cristo sandwich. <br />
<br />

These would make a great brunch or lunch item, but can easily be paired with a butter lettuce salad or arugula salad tossed with fresh berries, sliced almonds and a homemade vinaigrette. Another tasty meal prepared from start to finish in under thirty minutes! <br />

<b>Monte Cristo Sandwich</b><br />
<i>SCD, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Refined Sugar-Free</i><br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b> <br />
4 large eggs<br />
1/4 cup almond milk or <a href="https://amzn.to/3au7ILy">coconut milk</a> <br />
1/4 teaspoon salt, I like pink Himalayan salt <br />
1/2 tsp cinnamon <br />
8 slices bread, I used <a href="https://liberatedspecialtyfoods.com/collections/scd%E2%84%A2/products/cashew-creme-bread">Liberated Cashew Crème Bread</a><br />
1/4 cup mayonnaise, I use <a href="https://amzn.to/39pYAHJ">this</a> brand <br />
8 slices Swiss cheese <br />
1 pound sliced turkey*<br />
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided<br />
Freeze dried strawberries, for serving (optional)<br />
1/4 cup <a href="https://amzn.to/2VM7P0W">strawberry preserves</a><br />
<br />
<b>Directions</b><br />
1. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and cinnamon in a large glass bowl; set aside.<br />
2. Build the sandwiches. Lay 4 pieces of bread down and top with 1 slice of cheese on each piece of bread. Place 1/4 of the turkey on top of each piece of cheese. Spread the mayonnaise on the remaining 4 pieces of bread and press on top of each sandwich, mayo-side down. <br />
3. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, making sure to coat each side. <br />
4. Melt the butter in a medium size skillet over medium heat, cook sandwiches two at a time, until lightly browed.<br />
5. To serve, place the freeze dried strawberries in a sifter and sprinkle over the sandwiches, serve with a side of <a href="https://amzn.to/2VM7P0W">strawberry preserves</a>.<br />

Our family eats seafood several times a week, but sometimes it's hard to find a fish that everyone enjoys. My oldest doesn't like "fatty" fish, although fatty fish like King Ōra Salmon contain some of the highest levels per serving of healthy long-chain Omega-3 oils. Grey sole, along with Dover sole, has a mild and delicate flavor that takes little preparation and seasoning. In fact, you can lightly sauté the fillets in butter and simply add salt and pepper and you have a delicious healthy dish. Sole fish is low in calories and fat but high in protein and select micronutrients like selenium and vitamin B12.<br />
<br />
<b>Crab Meat Stuffed Grey Sole </b><br />
<i>SCD, Paleo, Gluten-Free</I><br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
4 (4-oz) grey sole fillets<br />
1 cup crab meat<br />
1 small celery stalk, finely chopped<br />
1 Tbs parsley, chopped<br />
2 Tbs mayonnaise, I use <a href="https://amzn.to/2PoQW8A">this</a> SCD compliant one <br />
salt + pepper <br />
1 tsp paprika <br />
<br />
<b>Directions</b> <br />
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. <br />
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, celery, parsley, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. <br />
3. Lay sole fillets flat with darker side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment or use a <a href="https://amzn.to/3a5mZlG">silicon baking mat</a> and season with salt and pepper. Divide stuffing among fillets, placing it in mounds on the thicker half. Fold thinner half of fillet over stuffing, tucking the end under. <br />
4. Sprinkle with paprika and bake for 2o minutes. <br />
5. Serve with a steamed vegetable and lemon butter sauce. <br />
<br />
<b>Lemon Butter Sauce</b><br />
4 Tbs unsalted butter<br />
1 Tbs lemon juice<br />
salt & pepper<br />
<br />
Place the butter in a saucepan or small skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter, whisking occasionally, until it turns golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately pour into small bowl. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk and adjust seasonings as necessary. <br />

Did you know the Honeybell Orange is actually a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit? The Honeybell is grown mostly in Florida and is only available during the month of January, perfect for an extra boost of Vitamin C during the prime flu and cold season. Honeybells, like oranges, are packed with Vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals like Folic Acid and Potassium. They can also help lower your cholesterol and can reduce your risk of heart disease. Eating Honeybells is helpful for people who are trying to manage Diabetes. They are a low Glycemic Index food, meaning that the natural sugar in Honeybells is easily broken down by the body and used for fuel instead of being stored in the body and converted into fat.<br />
<br />

Our family has enjoyed a case of Honeybells for the last few weeks and we are finally at the bottom of the box. Since they are almost past their prime, I decided to juice the remaining Honeybells and use the citrus for sauces, dressings and drinking. I took a classic dish, Shrimp Scampi, and swapped out the lemon juice and wine for Honeybell juice. The result is a sweet, citrusy sauce that pairs well with seafood and zoodles. <br />
<br />
<b>Honeybell Shrimp Scampi </b><br />
<i>SCD, Paleo, Gluten-Free</i><br />
yield: about 4-6 servings <br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined <br />
2 tablespoons butter<br />
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<br />
2 garlic cloves, minced (I omit this due to an allergy) <br />
1/2 cup fresh squeezed Honeybell juice (regular orange juice will work too)<br />
salt and pepper to taste <br />
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes<br />
1/4 cup chopped parsley<br />
Cooked zoodles, cauliflower rice or SCD compliant bread<br />
<br />
<b>Directions</b><br />
1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté about 2 minutes, just until the shrimp turn pink, and then flip to cook for two minutes on other side. <br />
2. Add the Honeybell juice and red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer for about 3 minutes.<br />
3. Remove from heat and serve over zucchini noodles (I used butternut squash noodles) or cauliflower rice. Garnish with parsley.

This cookie recipe is very versatile and can essentially be tweaked to any flavor to fit any season. If you search though my <a href="http://www.elizabethmjacob.com/p/recipe-index.html#.XkcYYS3My_I">recipe index</a> you'll notice I have used it a couple times. To make this special Valentine's Day treat I added a touch of lemon, which always pairs well with raspberry. For the pop of color, I rolled the assembled whoopie pies in ground freeze dried raspberries. <br />

<br />
<b>Lemon Raspberry Whoopie Pies </b><br />
<i>SCD, Paleo, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free</i><br />
yield: about 6-8 servings, depending on size of cookies <br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
For the cookies:<br />
1.5 cups almond flour<br />
1/4 cup coconut flour<br />
1/2 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1 Tbs. lemon zest<br />
1 Tbs. lemon juice<br />
pinch of salt<br />
2 eggs<br />
⅓ cup raw honey <br />
¼ cup coconut oil, melted<br />
<br />
<b>Directions</b> <br />
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.<br />
2. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl: almond flour, coconut flour, lemon zest, baking soda, and salt.<br />
3. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: eggs, honey, coconut oil, lemon juice. Whisk until blended. <br />
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix. <br />
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop tablespoon sizes of dough spaced 2 inches apart. <br />
6. Bake cookies for 10-14 minutes. I always check at 10 minutes and then let them go another minute or two if they need. For this recipe, I slightly undercooked the cookies for a softer texture. <br />
7. Let cookies cool completely.<br />
8. Proceed to making the frosting. <br />
9. Assemble and enjoy! <br />
<br />
<b>Raspberry Frosting</b><br />
1 1/2 cups palm shortening<br />

As with any holiday, Valentine's Day brings the pressure and stress of scrambling around to create something unique, tasty, satisfying and, of course, meets our dietary needs. While I have always loved the classroom parties, any parent with a child who has dietary restrictions knows how stressful these times are for us as parents and for our children. I try so hard to make sure my son is not "different" then his peers, but at the end of the day, we are different. We have an autoimmune disease and that makes us different, we have a different outlook on life and we eat different. For so long I have tried to make sure his foods "fit in" with everyone else's. I have even gone as far as making his own pizza and putting it inside a carryout pizza box. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
I am proud we are different. I am so incredibly proud of my son for taking control of his disease, for accepting himself and embracing the healthiest lifestyle that he can in order to get healthy. This Almond Tartlet is easy to make despite the vibrant pops of color. In fact, you can omit the dragonfruit all together and you will still get a yummy treat! <br />
<br />
<b>ALMOND TARTLET with DRAGON FRUIT YOGURT FILLING </b><br />
<i>SCD, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free</i> <br />
yield: 12 servings <br />
<br />
<b>INGREDIENTS</b><br />
Crust:<br />
1 cup raw almonds<br />
I cup shredded coconut<br />
5 dates<br />
1 tsp. almond milk or coconut milk<br />
4 Tbs. coconut oil, melted <br />
(plus, more for greasing pan)<br />
<br />
Filling:<br />
1 ¼ cups plain yogurt*<br />
1 Tbs. honey<br />
2 tsp. dragon fruit powder, optional for color* <br />
<br />
Toppings:<br />
Mixed berries<br />
Crushed pistachios<br />
Almond slivers<br />
<br />
<b>DIRECTIONS</b><br />
1. Grease a standard muffin tin with coconut oil and set aside. Silicone works best, but metal will work as well.<br />
2. Combine the ingredients for the crust in a food processor and pulse until well combined. The dough should be fine and stick together. Make sure it’s not too dry and crumbly; add another teaspoon of nut milk if necessary. <br />
3. Press the crust into the muffin tins making sure it covers the sides. Place in the refrigerator for an hour to set.<br />
4. Combine the yogurt, honey and dragon fruit powder and whisk until well combined. <br />
5. Remove the crusts from the refrigerator and carefully transfer them from the muffin tins to a platter. <br />
6. Add the yogurt to the cups filling each one almost to the top. <br />
7. Add desired toppings and enjoy! <br />
<br />
<i>*To make this SCD compliant use homemade yogurt. If you do not follow SCD, simply use plain yogurt. </i><br /><i>
*You can easily use beetroot powder or prickly pear juice in place of dragonfruit powder. I did use dragonfruit powder, however I did NOT have a letter from the company starting it was SCD compliant and only dried dragonfruit. Since it is only used for color, it can easily be omitted. </i>ElizabethMJaocbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13873627518183982168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121372555541145529.post-3522312210943909682020-02-11T17:08:00.001-05:002020-02-11T17:08:19.857-05:00Chicken Piccata | SCD, Paleo, Gluten-Free <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuEJlxQRVwioagyF0l9xLHAc9WiKk0hNscDBs3TZEqPqjaEdeStr9o_O0tvKIzgPfujclSSLv6XawcjEofm7dOpXgI7GC_TDLjD-VI2jd8ZBCEMhaH9MDnqOQA-I1x0lf6cHZLrYfONYs/s1600/DSC_3871.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="1161" data-original-width="790" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuEJlxQRVwioagyF0l9xLHAc9WiKk0hNscDBs3TZEqPqjaEdeStr9o_O0tvKIzgPfujclSSLv6XawcjEofm7dOpXgI7GC_TDLjD-VI2jd8ZBCEMhaH9MDnqOQA-I1x0lf6cHZLrYfONYs/s1600/DSC_3871.jpg" /></a><br />

While adapting to a new lifestyle of clean eating can be overwhelming at first, you do eventually take over the reins. There are so many classic recipes that can easily be adapted to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) or a Paleo lifestyle. Some of our favorites include Béarnaise sauce, Hollandaise sauce, Chicken Marsala, Demi-glace, Nicoise salad, French onion soup and more. These are regularly on a rotation in our home and we have discovered ways to take these classic cuisines and turn them into healthy dishes that meet our families needs. <br />

It's amazing how the simple ingredients in this Italian Chicken Piccata come together to create a palate of bold flavor. This dish is a family favorite in our household! <br />
<br />
<b>CHICKEN PICCATA</b><br />
<i>SCD, Paleo*, Gluten-Free, </i><br />
yield: 4 servings <br />
<br />
<b>INGREDIENTS</b><br />
4 chicken breasts <br />
½ cup almond flour<br />
Salt + pepper<br />
2 Tbs. olive oil, plus more if needed <br />
5 Tbs. butter, plus more if needed <br />
1/3 cup lemon juice<br />
¼ cup dry white wine <br />
2 Tbs. capers <br />
<br />
<b>DIRECTIONS</b><br />
1. Place one piece of chicken in a large Ziplock bag. Pound with the flat side of a meat mallet (I use a rolling pin) until it is 1/4-inch thickness. Set the flattened chicken breast aside and repeat with remaining breasts.<br />
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in almond flour and shake off excess.<br />
3. Heat in a large skillet over high heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. <br />
4. Cook the chicken in batches, adding more olive oil or butter as necessary. Place on a large cookie sheet and keep warm in the oven at 180 degress. <br />
5. Add the lemon juice and wine to the pan and bring to a boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape off the browned pieces. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the butter and capers. <br />
6. Spoon the sauce over the chicken breasts and serve immediately. Server over cauliflower rice or squash noodles. <br />

With the holidays right around the corner, I am starting to plan our meals and appetizers. This year, I am looking for simple and easy dishes that are packed with flavor and quality ingredients. Since this recipe includes feta, I do not recommend this for anyone who is experiencing symptoms of irritable bowel disease. Feta is an advanced food and should only be consumed after six strict months of following the SCD diet and it should only be consumed in small amounts and in moderation. <br />
<br />
<b>Health Benefits of Feta Cheese<i></i></b><br />
+ Feta cheese is a good source of calcium, phosphorus and protein, all of which have been proven to promote bone health.<br />
+ Feta cheese contains friendly bacteria that have been shown to promote immune and intestinal health, in addition to their anti-inflammatory effects.<br />
+ Feta cheese contains good amounts of CLA (Conjugated linoleic acid ), which may improve body composition and help prevent diabetes and cancer.<br />
<br />
<b>CREAMY FETA DIP</b><br />
Advanced SCD, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Sugar-Free<br />
yield: about 2 cups<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
INGREDIENTS<br />
12 ounces feta cheese<br />
1 cup homemade yogurt<br />
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil<br />
juice of 1 lemon<br />
salt & pepper to taste<br />
red pepper flakes <br />
Sliced veggies <br />
<br />
DIRECTIONS<br />
1. Place the feta cheese, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a food processor and blend until creamy. This may take a few minutes. <br />
2. Transfer dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes and the red pepper flakes. *Optional: you can drizzle olive oil on top too, a squeeze of lemon or add chopped mint. <br />
3. Serve with vegetable slices or try these <a href="http://www.elizabethmjacob.com/2017/11/gluten-free-rosemary-crackers-scd-paleo.html">homemade SCD crackers</a>! <br />

Have you ever wondered what exactly makes an heirloom tomato? Heirlooms often vary in color, shape, texture and size and, depending on the species, flavors can be full, rich, meaty and sweet. You can read my post from last summer on <a href="http://www.elizabethmjacob.com/2018/08/summer-gazpacho-with-heirloom-tomatoes.html">Summer Gazpacho with Heirloom Tomatoes</a> to get more insight on these bountiful, beautifully rich tomatoes. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
In the meantime, I am excited to share this simple, yet yummy recipe for an Heirloom Tomato Galette. A galette is one of the most beloved dishes in the French cuisine and consists of a delicate puff pastry dough with a deliously simple filling. These freeform tarts are typically baked on a baking sheet and the pastry dough is folded up around the edges to reveal a rustic looking crust. They are much easier to compose and create than a pie crust, which makes this dish an easy go-to for brunch or dinner, especially considering you are working with almond flour, which can be a bit more tricky than traditional flour. The wonderful thing about baking a galette is you have the freedom to choose your ingredients. Whether it's heirloom tomatoes, arugula and caramelized onions, peaches and feta or pears and prosciutto, this easy entree is quick to prepare and simple to bake. <br />
<br />
<b>Health Benefits of Tomatoes: </b><br />
+ Tomatoes contain the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. Studies show that it can lower your blood pressure, cholesterol, and oxidative stress levels, as well as reduce your risk of suffering from a stroke. <br />
<br />
+ Tomatoes are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and vitamin K.<br />
<br />
+ Tomatoes are rich in calcium, which is essential for healthy, strong bones, and teeth, and vitamin K, which is known to prevent osteoporosis. <br />
<br />
+ Tomatoes contain lots of vitamin A to benefit your hair, eyes, and heart<br />

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” <br />
L.M. Montgomery<br />
<br />
And just like that, it is October. Autumn is in the air and there is a cool, spicy breeze that lingers in our home. While I have put keeping up with this space and social media on the back burner, the scents of cinnamon, baked apples, vanilla and spice motivates me to share our adventures in life, our journey in healthy and, of course, the ever mounting recipes that fill my notebooks. And yes, I indeed have notebooks filled with recipes and yet have only managed to share a handful here on my blog. Sometimes, life gets crazy and let gets messy. My intention is always to post weekly, but as you can see that rarely happens. One day, I will have more time, but for now family comes first. <br />
<br />

This recipe for Easy Cinnamon Baked Apples is simple, and quick to make. We almost always have these ingredients on hand and the leftovers make a delicous breakfast! I paired these apples with a <a href="http://www.elizabethmjacob.com/2019/02/health-benefits-of-raw-honey-scd-paleo.html">Caramel Glaze</a> and Ginger Honey Yogurt. To make the yogurt, simply take 2 cups of homemade yogurt and add honey to taste and 2 teaspoons ginger. <br />

I certainly never imagined my children enjoying the tart flavor of lemon curd, but this classic culinary delight has been a staple in our kitchen since we started the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) over four years ago. The very first Easter my son was diagnosed I wanted to make several options for desserts, and lemon curd filled pastries happened to be one of them. The wonderful thing about lemon curd is it is very versatile. You can serve it alone, with fresh berries, in a tart or pastry, or, in this case, as a filling for cupcakes. I took my basic vanilla cupcake recipe and added a hint of lemon zest for a summery flavor. Pair this with a lemon curd filling and a strawberry icing and you have the perfect summer treat! <br />

1/2 tsp. baking soda <br />
pinch of sea salt<br />
6 Tbs butter, melted<br />
3 large eggs, seperated <br />
1/2 cup honey<br />
2 tsp. vanilla extract<br />
1 tsp. lemon juice or apple cider vinegar <br />
1/2 tsp. baking soda <br />
1 Tbs. lemon zest (optional for a burst of lemon flavor) <br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
1. Preheat oven to 325°F and add cupcake liners to muffin tins.<br />
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda and salt. <br />
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, butter, honey, vanilla and lemon juice or ACV to combine. Add to the flour mixture and whisk until smooth. Stir in lemon zest if using. <br />
4. Using your standing mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks are formed. Using a spatula, fold in 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter. Then gently fold the remaining egg whites, careful not to over mix. <br />
5. Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 full and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. <br />
<br />
<b>Lemon Curd Filling</b><br />
In a medium saucepan, whisk together until light in color:<br />
3 large eggs<br />
1/4 cup honey<br />
grated zest of 1 lemon<br />
Add:<br />
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice<br />
6 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces<br />
Cook, whisking over medium high heat until the butter is melted. Then whisk constantly until the mixture is thickened and simmering gently for a few seconds. Using a spatula, scrape the filling into a medium sized mesh sieve set over a glass bowl. Stir in 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Let cool, cover and refrigerate to thicken.<br />
<br />
<b>Buttercream Frosting</b><br />
1 cup palm shortening<br />
1/2 cup butter<br />
4 Tbs honey<br />
4 Tbs freeze dried strawberries, ground to a powder <br />
<br />
In your standing mixer, beat together the ingredients for the frosting until light and fluffy. <br />
<br />
To assemble the cupcakes:<br />
Use a small paring knife to cut a small cone out of the center of each cupcake, about 1 inch deep. Spoon a small amount of lemon curd into the hole and replace the cone. Gently press the cone into place and smooth away any crumbs. Frost the cupcakes as desired. For these I used a large round tip and the swirl method. Hold your piping bag perpendicular to the cupcake. Start at the outer edge of the cupcake and pipe a circle around the outer edge. As you complete a full circle, move the piping bag slightly inward to create the next circle rotation. Continue piping, moving inward for three full rotations, plus a small one on top. Release the pressure and pull the bag away. **Make sure cupcakes are completely cooled before icing**<br />

<br />
And just like that, we are beyond midsummer. <br />
The air is humid, and most days we linger around in our bathing suits until well past dinner. We are bare foot and skin kissed. And if you look close enough, you can see a sprinkle of freckles dance across my children's faces. We are in the heart of Ohio's summer and I am filled with joy. Our local produce stands are abundant with fresh peaches, vine-ripened tomatoes and endless ears of sweet corn. I want to savor these flavors of summer forever, I want to hold onto every moment, I want to live in an eternal bliss of summer. But for now, we embrace and appreciate each day we have. We avoid looking at the calendar and make every minute count. <br />

These ginger cookie, peach ice cream sandwiches are a delicious summer treat! They are a blend of mild summer flavors and best enjoyed with friends and family! I also love this recipe because it's easy to make and once they are assembled you can hold them in the freezer for a couple days. <br />
<br />
<b>GINGER COOKIE & PEACH ICE CREAM SANDWICH</b><br />
<i>SCD, Paleo, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free</i><br />
yield: about 6-8 servings, depending on size of cookies <br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
For the cookies:<br />
1.5 cups almond flour<br />
1/4 cup coconut flour<br />
1/2 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon<br />
2 tsp ginger <br />
1 tsp. vanilla <br />
pinch of salt<br />
2 eggs<br />
⅓ cup raw honey <br />
¼ cup coconut oil, melted<br />

3. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: eggs, honey, coconut oil, vanilla. Whisk until blended. <br />
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix. <br />
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop tablespoon sizes of dough spaced 2 inches apart. <br />
6. Bake cookies for 10-14 minutes. I always check at 10 minutes and then let them go another minute or two if they need. For this recipe, I slightly undercooked the cookies for a softer texture. <br />
7. Let cookies cool completely.<br />
8. Take ice cream from freezer and add a scoop between two cookies. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and keep in freezer until ready to serve. <br />
9. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients For the Peach Ice Cream:</b><br />
1 can full fat coconut milk<br />
2 cups fresh peaches, cut into pieces skins removed <br />
1/3 cup of honey<br />
pinch of salt <br />
<br />
Make ice cream:<br />
1. Mix the coconut milk, honey, peaches and a pinch of salt together in a blender or <a href="https://amzn.to/2XNjO0b">Vitamix</a> until combined. <br />
2. Transfer to your <a href="https://amzn.to/2Snoe81">ice cream machine</a> and mix until it reaches a thick consistency. <br />
4. Transfer to a container and keep in freezer until the cookies are baked and cooled. <br />
<br />
*TIPS:<br />
I use <a href="https://amzn.to/2Snoe81">this ice cream maker</a> and we use it ALL the time! It's well worth the investment. <br />
When assembling the cookies, I gently press them together to flatten the ice cream slightly. <br />
Use parchment to separate the cookies when storing in an airtight container. <br />
I use Native Forest Simple Organic Milk which you can find <a href="https://amzn.to/2Y888EM">HERE</a>.

<br />
I know I am not alone when I say that sometimes, and by sometimes I mean a few times a month, we resort to breakfast for dinner. I always feel like it is a mom fail when the day has slipped by and I have nothing prepared for dinner. Yet, every time I announce it's breakfast for dinner the kids are beyond excited. In fact, more excited about that meal than when I spend hours slaving away on a new dish. Go figure! <br />
<br />
Obviously, scrambled eggs or omelets are the easiest go-to for this simple dinner option, but I prefer to make a casserole so we have leftovers for our actual breakfast the next day or school lunches. This Broccoli Cheddar Casserole is super simple to make and chances are you may already have these ingredients on hand. When organic frozen vegetables go on sale, I like to stock up because I know I can use them in soups, casseroles or kids' lunches. I used frozen broccoli for this recipe and simply unthawed it before baking. You can also use any SCD compliant bread, but we used <a href="https://liberatedspecialtyfoods.com/collections/scd™/products/cashew-creme-bread">Liberated Specialty Foods</a>. Again, I always take advantage of sales and stock up so our freezer is loaded with healthy, clean options. <br />
<br />
Broccoli totes a lengthy list of benefits. This vibrant, green vegetable is full of phytochemicals which contain anti-cancer properties. It is rich in fiber, which aides in digestion, and high in vitamin C to help boost the immune system. And because it is high in fiber, chromium and potassium broccoli can help lower cholesterol and high blood pressure. <br />
<br />
This casserole cuts easily into small squares and can be stored in an airtight container for several days. <br />
<br />
<b>BROCCOLI CHEDDAR CASSEROLE </b><br />
<i>SCD, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free</i><br />
yield: about 10-12 servings <br />
<br />
INGREDIENTS <br />
2 cups frozen broccoli, unthawed <br />
1/4 cup diced onion<br />
12 eggs<br />
1/2 cup almond milk<br />
1 cup cubed SCD compliant bread (I used Liberated Specialty Breads for this dish)<br />
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese<br />
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar <br />
4 strips cooked bacon (optional)<br />
1 tsp coconut oil<br />
salt & pepper <br />
<br />
DIRECTION<br />
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.<br />
2. Grease a casserole dish with coconut oil, I used a 9x12 baking dish. <br />
3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs together, then whisk in the almond milk. Add the black pepper and salt, adjust to your liking, and then mix in about a third of the cheese.<br />
4. Place the broccoli florets and bread crumbs in the casserole dish, crumble the bacon over the broccoli and sprinkle 1/3 cheese over the mixture. <br />
5. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and sprinkle the casserole with the remaining cheese.<br />
6. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top. <br />
7. Allow to cool and cut into squares.

<br />
There was a point in time, when the kids were smaller, that we would fully embrace our mornings. We would find ourselves lulling around the kitchen and lazily cooking a large and lavish brunch. I distinctly remember the lack of rush and the ability to finish an actual cup of coffee. Fast forward to present day and it is a different scene. School mornings are rushed and chaotic and there is nothing calm about our kitchen. The counter tops are usually a site of destruction, the dog is barking to go out, someone can't find something (always) and we make our mad dash to the garage so we can get into the carline at a decent time. As for the weekends, sadly, brunch is a rare sighting these days. I am usually on the road with one of the boys for soccer, traveling out of town or out of state. And if we happen to be home, we are forced to conquer and divide our games and field locations. <br />
<br />
With all this being said, my children are to an age where they are capable of making their own breakfasts and I encourage them to do so. However, if I don't give guidance, chances are my oldest would make a smoothie every day or oatmeal, which happens to be a very special treat. After four plus years of following <a href="http://www.elizabethmjacob.com/2017/02/what-is-scd-diet-and-how-do-i-get.html">the SCD diet</a>, we have successfully introduced organic oats. While my son could eat this every single day, it's important to remember these new foods should only be consumed in moderation. To make it easier for the family, I like to have simple breakfast foods prepped in advance. <br />
<br />
Granola is a great option for breakfast and can be served several different ways; add it to yogurt and fruit, pour almond milk over it, or layer it into a berry parfait. You can even add it to homemade ice-cream for a sweet treat! (You can find my easy vanilla ice-cream recipe <a href="http://www.elizabethmjacob.com/2014/07/paleo-chocolate-chip-cookie-ice-cream.html">HERE</a>, but it's from a very old post so the cookies are not SCD compliant.) In the photos above, we used homemade vanilla yogurt, added thinly sliced Bosc pears, granola and a homemade date syrup drizzle. <br />
<br />
<b>CRUNCHY VANILLA GRANOLA</b><br />
<i>SCD, Paleo, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free</i> <br />
yield: about 5 cups <br />
<br />
INGREDIENTS <br />
1 egg white<br />
1 cup cashews<br />
1 cup almonds<br />
1 cup pepitas<br />
2 cups shredded coconut <br />
1/4 cup golden raisins<br />
1/4 cup dried cherries<br />
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract<br />
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon<br />
pinch of salt <br />
1/3 cup honey<br />
2 Tbs coconut oil <br />
<br />
DIRECTIONS<br />
1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. <br />
2. In a food processor, combine all the nuts and coconut. Pulse until desired texture. <br />
3. Transfer to a large bowl and add the spices, honey and coconut oil. Mix together and then stir in the egg white. Add the raisins and cherries and stir to combine. <br />
4. The dough will be slightly sticky. Press evenly into a pan lined with parchment paper. <br />
5. Bake 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely, at least for a 1/2 hour. <br />
6. I like to break mine apart into large chunks, but the kids like it broken into smaller pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to one week. <br />
<br />
**When purchasing your raisins or cherries make sure they don't have added sugar. We like <a href="https://amzn.to/2V9IsXD">THESE</a> cherries.

<b>"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." </b><br />
<i>Hippocrates</i><br />
<br />
We've been hearing about the benefits of apple cider vinegar (ACV) for some time now and it turns out this trend it not new. Vinegar has been used medicinally for centuries and during biblical times, vinegar was used to flavor foods, as a preservative and for medicinal purposes, plus it is mentioned in both the old and new testaments. In ancient Greece, around 400 BC, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, prescribed apple cider vinegar mixed with honey for a variety of ailments. Throughout history, there are numerous references to ACV both for medical purposes and beauty intentions. Today, we still reap the benefits of apple cider vinegar and can easily incorporate this healthy aid into our daily routines. <br />
<br />
<b>Proven Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar For Skin, Hair and Health</b><br />
Hair: <br />
1. It has properties that balance your scalp and hair pH levels.<br />
2. Its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties help combating scalp dryness, itchiness and dandruff.<br />
3. Applying apple cider vinegar, with its acidic properties, may improve the condition or appearance of hair.<br />
<br />
Body:<br />
+ It can prevent premature aging with its powerful antioxidant abilities.<br />
+ It balances the pH level of your skin and is best to use it as a daily toner. <br />
+ It is great for treating warts, sunburn, age spots and acne.<br />
+ Vinegar is well-known for its antibacterial properties and has been shown to be effective against many strains of harmful bacteria.<br />
+ Soak a washcloth or cotton ball with ACV and water and apply to the face as a toner or apply to sun spots for 30 mins and rinse.<br />
+ Add one cup apple cider vinegar to your bath. <br />
<br />
Health:<br />
+ Some evidence suggests that taking apple cider vinegar could help lower both total cholesterol and triglycerides.<br />
+ ACV works to detoxify your liver for better overall health and bodily functions.<br />
+ Drinking apple cider vinegar may help provide relief from acid reflux symptoms by introducing more acid into the digestive tract to prevent acid back flow.<br />
+ ACV adds a healthy dose of beneficial bacteria into your diet and improves the health of your digestive system. <br />
+ Dilute one to two tablespoons apple cider vinegar with 8 ounces of water and drink, do not exceed 16 ounces in one day. <br />
+ Note, its high acidity can damage tooth enamel so make sure to dilute with water and use a paper straw to drink. <br />
<br />
One thing I am striving to pass on to my children is how to take care of our bodies and I want them to understand it goes beyond what we eat. The products we use on our skin, the body's largest organ, have a direct impact on our health. We strive to use clean products that are free from parabens and phthalates and are eco-friendly and cruelty-free. We recently had the chance to partner with <a href="https://phillipadam.com">Phillip Adam</a> and sample their apple cider vinegar shampoo and conditioner. <a href="https://phillipadam.com">Phillip Adam</a> prides themselves in producing nature infused hair and body care products with carefully chosen plant-based ingredients. Their products contain vital nutrients derived from botanical extracts which are proven to have favorable effects on hair and skin. <br />
<br />
Gentle and nourishing, their ACV shampoos are suitable for fine to normal hair types including colored hair, making their products the perfect fit for my hair type and my children. They add natural shine and help maintain a healthy pH balanced scalp and are family and pet friendly! They are available in several different scents such as Green Apple, Verbena Sage, Orange Vanilla or Unscented. I can't wait to try their Curly Hair Shampoo formula, I don't show my natural curls too often, but when I do wear my hair curly I like to embrace its natural state and use products designed for curly hair. <br />
<br />
Phillip Adams hair products are the perfect fit for our eco-conscious, clean living family and I highly encourage you to check them out. <br />

<b><i>"I have measured out my life with coffee spoons."</i></b> <br />
T.S. Eliot <br />
<br />
I can vividly remember my very first taste of coffee; my sophomore year of high school my mom and I escaped to Paris for an experience of a lifetime. Well, at least an experience of a lifetime for a high school student. I can remember sitting in the quaint hotel eating some of the richest food I had ever indulged in for breakfast; puff pastries, thick baguettes, delicate slices of aged cheese, cured meats. And I can remember that first sip of coffee, rich and dark, thick as molasses. It was bitter to my young palette, but there was something that drew me in. A sophistication I yearned to attain, even at the young age of fifteen. <br />
<br />
My trip to Paris with my mom will forever be embedded in my mind. Just thinking back to those days brings a smile to my face and a silent laugh to the air. I remember strolling the streets of old Paris, wearing a vintage fur coat of my mothers, my hair cut short in a bob and thick black eye liner that made me feel like Twiggy. I remember dragging my mom through Père Lachaise's cemetery, because surely my heart would break if I didn't stop to visit Jim Morrison's grave. At an age of naivety, I felt that moment was the greatest moment in my life. To visit the resting place of Jim Morrison, the iconic lead singer of the band The Doors, a self-taught poet, and legendary rock star, would be a conquest that I would never forget. It was during this time my mother introduced me to more sophisticated creatives like Colette, Molière, Oscar Wilde, Marcel Proust, and Gertrude Stein. These iconic novelists and playwrights fed my passion for the written word and creativity and the thought of visiting their tombstones as well opened my mind to a new world. <br />
<br />
But at the time, music was rich to my bohemian soul and fed my blossoming vision. As we made our way towards Jim Morrison’s grave, the air was filled with heaviness and an eerie perception loomed around us. The cobble stone paths that led the way were slightly uneven and covered in a trace of moss, hinting to the rich history of this Parisian park and cemetery that surrounded us. On most days, his resting site is so crowded with visitors it is difficult to truly embrace the nostalgic moment. But yet, mysteriously, our visit brought us to an empty grave filled with stillness. In the air, a spiritual feeling lingered and if I closed my eyes and listened hard enough to the silence, I could hear the subtle sounds of Jim Morrison’s raspy, raw voice whispering his poetic, dark lyrics across the cemetery. <br />
<br />
I was surprised to see his grave was modest and sensible, tucked into a small space between several other enclosures. The bust that once adorned the site was sadly stolen in 1988 and the neighboring graves were wrapped in layers of graffiti that built up over years. At the time of our visit, there were no barricades and we were free to roam as we liked. But today, due to the consistent defacing, officials have put up metal barricades to surround the site, forever changing the feel and atmosphere. <br />
<br />
I have so many fond memories from that trip, memories to last a lifetime, memories that perhaps one day I will share with my own children over a strong cup of coffee or cappuccino. And maybe, just maybe, The Doors will be softly playing in the background. I have yet to introduce them to the band that captivated my mind for so many years of my youth. <br />
<br />
Some of the finest moments in life are rooted in simplicity. For me, coffee and music have always invoked a sense of emotion and remembrance. There are times when I can smell the slightest aroma of savory coffee and I am instantly whisked back to Paris, sitting in that quaint hotel with my mother, sipping cappuccino and nibbling on puff pastries all while dreaming of strolling down the cobble stone paths of Père Lachaise. <br />

<b>"Luck is believing you're lucky." </b><br />
Tennessee Williams<br />
<br />
We decided this weekend is the perfect time to embrace the warmer weather and hints of spring so we've added a little green into our day and into our food. I have been working on a recipe for veggie bites for some time now, but I haven't been able to narrow down a taste and texture that my whole family agrees on. My youngest has a serious passion for green peas and eagerly suggested I use them in my recipe. And you know what, she is on to something! Peas are the perfect texture for these veggie fritters and they are one hundred percent kid approved. Since peas are naturally sweeter in flavor, they balance well with the other veggies and healthy herbs. Add a side of homemade tzatziki sauce and dinner is covered! <br />
<br />
<b>Health Benefits of Peas</b><br />
<i>1. Peas are an excellent source of Vitamin C, which plays a significant role in in the production of collagen. Collagen helps keep the skin firm and glowing. Vitamin C also protects the cells from damage caused by free radicals. <br />
2. The insoluble fibre content present in peas helps reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.<br />
3. The lutein and vitamin A in peas also protects your eyes. Lutein, a natural plant pigment, is concentrated in the eye, and its antioxidant activity can protect you from both cataracts and macular degeneration by preventing oxidation. Vitamin A helps keep the surface of your eyes healthy.<br />
4. Green peas offer a myriad of potent antioxidants. One of its powerful antioxidants includes coumestrol, a polyphenol that may lower your risk of stomach cancer.<br />
5. Green peas contain an impressive amount of fiber, which has been shown to provide many benefits for digestive health. </i><br />

Just when I thought spring was around the corner, a sudden surge of snow makes its way back into Ohio. I have officially reached that point in winter where I long for warmer days, I long for the sight of green grass and budding blooms and I long for the sound of birds chirping and children playing. I'm also eager to pack away the heavy coats, the bulky boots and the endless piles of miss-matched gloves and wool socks. I am ready to shed our layers, de-clutter our home and toss open the windows. <br />
<br />
But, considering it is 15 degrees out and a flurry of snow dances across our yard, I do not see myself opening the windows in the near future. So instead, we light the fire and turn to comfort foods to warm our souls. <br />
<br />
I've been making this Chicken a la King dish for about a year now and have made it several times. I love this recipe because it is quick and easy, yet adaptable to the ingredients you have on hand. My daughter loves green peas, and I mean LOVES, so the first time I made it I added them for her, but sometimes I omit them. We had this last night for dinner and I didn't have any mushrooms on hand so we simply left them out and it still tasted rich and creamy. And sometimes, when I am pressed for time, I use a pre-cooked chicken that I cut into half-inch pieces. Simply add the chicken at the end, simmer and serve. <br />
<br />

Cashew butter may be by far one of my favorite foods. It makes the perfect snack for a mid-afternoon pickup, especially when it is paired with apples. I love to add a spoonful to my morning smoothie and when it comes to baking, it is a great ingredient to have on hand. And if you don't have a jar of cashew butter it is the easiest to make! Just toss your raw cashews into a food processor or blender and let it go until it is thick and creamy. <br />
<br />
<b>Health Benefits of Cashews</b><br />
+ Cashew nuts have a lower fat content and a higher protein and carbohydrate content than most other nuts. The fat that they do contain is mostly derived from oleic acid, a monounsaturated oil with known benefits in protecting against heart disease and cancer. <br />
+ They are a good source of protein, magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc.<br />
+ Cashews contain a class of compounds called phytosterols, compounds similar in structure to cholesterol that can reduce the absorption sites for dietary cholesterol in the gut and thus inhibit the body’s absorption of LDL.<br />
+ The copper in cashews helps to manufacture various enzymes involved in hemoglobin and collagen formation. Collagen is the main structural protein found in hair and skin that gives it elasticity. <br />
<br />
I was experimenting with cashew butter and wanted to bake a cookie that was similar to a peanut butter cookie because unfortunately my son is not crazy about peanut butter. The first batch I made was gone in under an hour and all the kids, including my husband, said this recipe was a keeper. For the second batch I decided to add a cacao drizzle on half of the cookies and it was the perfect combination with the cashew butter and rich honey flavor. Please note, cacao is not SCD compliant, but we have been able to tolerate it well. For more info on cacao you can read <a href="http://www.elizabethmjacob.com/2017/09/cacao-vs-cocoa-healthy-benefits-of-cacao.html">THIS</a> post. <br />

<b>"Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it."</b><br />
<i>Julia Child</i> <br />
<br />
It's no secret we are tremendously interested and passionate about living a lifestyle of clean eating. Not only do we choose this path of life to treat our son's Crohn's disease, but it is a way of living that I believe adds value to our health and enriches our lives. The food industry is constantly changing and transitioning as new trends pop up and we are all aware of the "fad" diets that have made their mark in the media and then trickled down into our daily routines. <br />
<br />
The one thing I want to stress is that clean eating is not a fad diet, in fact, I do not look at it as a diet at all. Clean eating is a lifestyle of simply eating healthy foods; foods free from preservatives, added sugars and processed carbohydrates. <br />
<br />
I often get asked why honey is a allowed on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. According the Elaine Gottschall, author of <i>Breaking the Viscous Cycle</i>, "Honey is legal because, as the book states, it contains only single sugars (monosaccharides) which do not need microvilli enzymes in order for the two sugars of which it is composed to be absorbed into your bloodstream. The two sugars are already in the absorbable form. However, sucrose and lactose, etc. need action of the microvilli enzymes and in people with IBD and other illnesses, research shows that these enzymes are not active."<br />
<br />
Studies have linked processed sugar to inflammation and disease, leaving honey as a great alternative sweetener. While honey is still sugar, it is healthier than refined sugar and, like all things, should be consumed moderation. <br />
<br />
<b>Benefits of Raw Honey Include: </b><br />
1. High in antioxidants. Antioxidants help to protect your body from cell damage due to free radicals, honey may even help prevent cellular damage and loss within the brain.<br />
2. Research has shown that raw honey can kill unwanted bacteria and fungus. <br />
3. Helps aid in digestion. Honey is also a potent prebiotic, meaning it nourishes the good bacteria that live in the intestines, which are crucial not only for digestion but overall health.<br />
4. Fights the common cold and allergy season. Honey’s anti-inflammatory effects and ability to soothe coughs has led to the belief it can also reduce seasonal allergy symptoms.<br />
5. It's good for your skin. Applying raw honey on the face can treat various skin problems including acne, thanks to the antibacterial properties. Because it is rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients, you can reduce the appearance of premature wrinkles and fine lines by using topically on a regular basis.<br />
6. Boosts energy levels. Honey has a lower glycemic index than sugar. Consequently, the body absorbs honey slower than sugary foods, which in turn creates longer lasting energy. <br />
<br />
This easy-to-make Caramel Sauce can be used as a flavoring in puddings and custards, as a topping for ice cream, pies and cakes, or simply to dip with apple and pear slices. <br />

Turn the heat down to a low-medium heat and continue to simmer until reduced by about half, stirring occasionally. The caramel should start to turn into a rich amber color. This usually takes about 30-45 minutes. <br />
2.Remove from heat and transfer to a glass bowl. Let the caramel cool to room temperature, then stir and serve as intended. <br />
<br />
*DO NOT walk away while making this caramel. While you do not need to constantly stir it, you will need to occasionally stir the sauce to prevent burning. <br />

As we head into February, we also head into the heart of the flu and cold season. I always try my best to ward off those awful germs, but we do take a few extra steps during the winter months to ensure that we stay healthy. My oldest son, who was diagnosed with Crohn's disease when he was nine years old, takes an immunosuppressant drug (Imuran) to treat his autoimmune disease. With autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the body’s own tissue. Because immunosuppressant drugs weaken the immune system, they suppress this reaction by tricking the body, which in turn reduces the impact of the autoimmune disease on the body. Unfortunately, since immunosuppressant drugs compromise the immune system, my son is constantly at risk of contracting whatever bug is floating around the school, the soccer field, the basketball court and pretty much anywhere we go. <br />
<br />
To help prevent sickness we take these few extra steps during the winter months to stay strong and healthy. <br />
<br />
<b>Wash Your Hands</b><br />
I can't say this enough! I encourage the kids to wash their hands during school and the first thing we do when they get home from school, sports and activities is wash their hands. I try to avoid hand sanitizer because it's hard on the skin, but I do carry <a href="https://amzn.to/2B4hFQj">THIS</a> natural sanitizer with me at all times. Remember to wash your hands for 20 seconds! Even though my kiddos are older, we still single Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and it does the trick. <br />
<br />
<b>Wipe Down Your Desk, Doorknobs, Computer, Phone & Steering Wheel </b><br />
I try to wipe down the items we touch most often at least once a week. You can use disinfecting wipes like <a href="https://amzn.to/2MESnwI">THESE</a> or even make your own natural cleaner using essential oils. I'm sure I'm missing a couple on my list, but take a moment to think about what you touch daily. Doorknobs, steering wheels and phones are essential to clean. <br />
<br />
<b>Eat the Rainbow</b><br />
When you incorporate more fruits and veggies into your diet you reap the benefits of phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are compounds found in plants that act as powerful defenders of health, both for the plant and the person consuming the plant. Studies have shown that people who eat more plant-based foods have reduced risks of chronic disease, heart disease and cancer. And, these phytonutrients can even help rid the body of toxins, fight inflammation, boost the immune system, reduce blood pressure and help fight disease.<br />
<br />
<b>Exercise</b> <br />
Staying active and fit is key. Physical activity may help flush bacteria out of the lungs and airways which may reduce your chance of getting a cold, flu, or other illness. Exercise also improves cardiovascular health, lowers blood pressure, helps control body weight, and protects against a variety of diseases. <br />
<br />
<b>Get Enough Sleep</b><br />
Studies show that people who don't get quality sleep or enough sleep are more likely to get sick after being exposed to a virus, such as a common cold virus. Lack of sleep can also affect how fast you recover if you do get sick.<br />
