Quinoa Burgers

I can not take credit for this... a patient sent me a link asking if these were okay on Candida Clear.  Of course I am always skeptical but this really does pass the test!  In the grocery store I usually skip over the frozen food isle beside veggies and fruit because each time I read ingredients they are no good... so I couldn't believe it!

They are called Qrunch Quinoa Burgers.  I found mine at Kroger (in the healthy frozen section) and she said they are also at Target.  They have a regular and a spicy Italian (which I didn't find to spicy).  You just throw them on a skillet with coconut oil (of course) for 2 to 3 minutes on each side and you have a meal!  Tonight we made the veggie 'pasta' with Costco Marinara, the Qrunch Burger and some fresh basil!  Yummmmmm!   Enjoy!  I have also attached the ingredient list... apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, and everything else is organic!

(Garrett said he lost a little bit of his manhood by eating veggie pasta and having these 'burgers.' :) He likes them though!  Don't let him fool you.)

 

 

They all look great!

 (Minus canola oil- but its organic and non GMO, so its as good as you can get)

Disclaimer- These do not take care of a lot of root/deep issues people have going on, however they will help significantly if someone is not up for a cleanse or other protocols.  If a person doesn't feel better on them there is still hope- it just wasn't the right combination or there is something deeper going on.  That's when you give them the elbow nudge to schedule a visit :)

Panera's Hidden Menu- Candida and Paleo Friendly!

Going out to eat can truly be a challenge when on the candida cleanse and also when eating Paleo after.  It can be frustrating to ask for no this, extra side of this, no dressing- just olive oil please, etc.  So when I ran across Panera's hidden menu I couldn't believe it!  They have breakfast and lunch/dinner options.  No bread, no dressings except olive oil and lemon juice! Look below at the options.  I went this week and tried it out... It truly does exist!  You will never see it on the menu in the store so don't look for it.  Just keep a link to this page or the Panera one below to reference each time you go.  Enjoy!! (I sure did!)

A Simple Variation of Pesto! (With Coconut Oil)

Are you ready for the 3 Ingredients... Walnuts, Coconut Oil (Melted), and Basil!

I made this on a whim because I didn't have pine nuts or olive oil.  I didn't want to use the typical Parmesan cheese in it either.  So I got creative and it actually worked!

I don't have exact measurements... Sorry!  In a food processor I threw in around 4 tbs of melted coconut oil, a large handful of walnuts and a large handful of basil.  That's it!  I feel like it worked perfectly and I made it for my veggie noodles (click here for the post).

I forgot to take a picture of it by itself... so you get a picture of my dinner.  If you look close it is on top.  Enjoy!

(Sorry if it doesn't look super appetizing... I promise it really was!)

Switch Up Your Strawberries

This may be something silly but the way you serve foods can really change the way they taste or mix well with other things.  For example lets talk about strawberries.

You can cut them up for a snack or you can smash them for a whole different experience!  I think when they are in a mashed up form they taste differently- even more so like a dessert.  You can do this with any fruit and I think it tastes great!  You can spread them over muffins easily, add to your Greek yogurt, sprinkle with xylitol for a dessert, throw in the freezer for a little while to make a frozen dessert too!  I made the chocolate with xylitol and put this on top which was so good... recipe to come soon! :)  You can even throw this in your water and if you are feeling up for it add a little cucumber in there too! 

Again this may be a silly post but try it- experiment and see if the texture change makes a difference than just eating plain ol' strawberries over and over.  Enjoy!
