This recipe is not to be confused with my veggie pasta, where I actually incorporate gluten-free noodles. This pasta is completely grain-free, 100% all veggies and it is amazing. It's super easy, surprisingly very filling if you have a large bowl, and great hot with dairy-free butter or high quality butter/ghee if you tolerate dairy. There are two options here in making this dish. The convenient way if you're on the go like I was on Easter, or the more involved option that I like to do when I'm home in my own kitchen. Ingredients: For on-the-go: Pre-packed mix of shredded broccoli, cabbage and carrots For at home: Broccoli Stalks Carrots Red Cabbage Earth Balance Dairy Free/Soy Free Olive Oil Butter Sea Salt Prep: Wash all vegetables thouroughly. Slice cabbage leaves into thin strips. For the carrots and the broccoli stalks, you may use a mandolin or food processor to get uniform strips. For fresh, or bagged mix, heat Tbsp. of EB Butter over low-medium heat and place veggie mix in a heated pan. Add a little more butter to your preference as well as sea salt and any additional spices or herbs of choice. I'm doing a more gentle body detox right now, so I didn't add anything additional this time and it was still very flavorful. Cook on medium heat, covered, until "noodles" are soft but still hold a little bit of crunch. Serve warm with a protein on the side. Enjoy!

The possibilities for this veggie stir-fry are endless, however I kept it to veggies that are safe for Auto-Immune Paleo, as I was using a lot of peppers/tomatoes in my dinners lately and I havn't been feeling as well, so I thought I'd omit them with this tasty dish. There is also a meat option, and if you eat tofu you may add that as well. I do not promote the consumption of soy products due to so much soy being GMO, and the way it messes with my hormones. The beauty of this dish is you can alter it to your specifications anyway you like.

Ingredients: 1 lb. lean ground turkey or beef (I used turkey) 2-3 large sweet potatoes 1 pack organic frozen peas and carrots 2 TBSP. Earth Balance soy-free, dairy-free butter or other healthy cooking fat for AIP Minced Garlic 1/4 C. diced onions Sea Salt to taste Instructions: Cook meat with minced garlic and sea salt over stove until browned, add peas, carrots and onions half way through until cooked through.

This was a last minute inspired idea when I wanted to make Mr. Charming a yummy dinner after coming home late from class one night. It's a yummy, warm dinner perfect for chilly fall nights.

Earth Balance butter or other healthy cooking fat 1 clove of minced garlic Rub pork chops with butter, garlic and sea salt and bake on 350 for one hour.

Apple Cider Vinegar Lay carrots in a pan, and coat with the remainder of the ingredient. Heat on Medium-High until fully cooked. (Soft on the inside, and crispy on the outside.) (I was going other tasks so I placed a lid on to help steam the carrots and lock in the sweet flavors and put it on low for a bit. Overall they cooked to our preferred doneness in about 20 minutes.) Such a yummy and filling comfort food for fall. You CAN eat comfort foods without chemicals, gluten, sugar and a lot of fat. Put on comfy socks, kick up your feet on the porch, watch the leaves change and enjoy this stew with a mug of organic, sugar-free apple cider. Ingredients Chuck Roast - 2 lbs 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth (you can use beef broth, but all the ones I found contain yeast.) 4 Carrots (washed, peeled and chopped) 2 Stalks of Celery (washed and chopped) Fresh herbs of choice 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into cubes) I medium onion, chopped Instructions Brown the chuck roast in a pan with olive oil before placing in crock pot. Once browned, cut into cubes and brown a little longer until each side is slightly seared. Add to crockpot, place cut vegetables and herbs inside and mix. Pour broth on top, place the lid and cook on low heat for 10-12 hours. *you can cook this on high 5-6 hours, however the meat will not be as tender on this setting. I prefer to cook roasts on low so that it doesn't get chewy. This is one of my FAVORITE lunches to take to work! I take a piece of fresh fruit or nuts if I get hungry later because these can tend to be not very filling for long days.
INGREDIENTS 4 slices lean bacon (pork or turkey) cooked and chopped 1 medium tomato, diced 1 tbsp paleo mayonnaise 3 large iceberg or romaine lettuce leaves 1 Avocado INSTRUCTIONS Carefully remove 2 large outer leaves of a head of lettuce. If you rip or tear one, just save it for the 3rd leaf you need to shred. Shred the 3rd leaf and set aside. Dice tomato and set aside in a bowl. Combine diced tomato with mayonnaise. Place lettuce cups on a plate, top with shredded lettuce. Add tomato, avocado, and then bacon and roll it like a wrap and dig in! INSTRUCTIONS Use a slicing mechanism, or mandolin, that will magically make fettuccine just by pushing the zucchini through. Boil a pot of water and add salt – add your “noodles” and cook for a minute – be sure not to overcook. Remove and set into a pot of cold to stop the cooking process. Then, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan – throw in about 3 cloves of minced garlic, add in your freshly made "pasta", saute around until evenly coated – sprinkle with red pepper flakes (omit for AIP), and fresh basil leaves to taste. Plate. Light healthy and delicious! |

aboutNosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me. What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet. I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. For more of my story you can click here.
All recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free with a lot of soy-free, grain-free, sugar-free options. |
