Yum! Mushrooms & Cauliflower

Garlic Mushrooms over Cauliflower Rice

Ingredients:

·       24 oz Mushrooms (whatever kind you like)

·       1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil or vegetable broth 

·       2 Cloves Garlic, chopped

·       Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning or Italian Seasoning, pepper to taste

·       Dash (or two) of a balsamic glaze

·       One head of cauliflower

Heat olive oil in a frying pan then add garlic and cook at a medium heat for a couple of minutes stirring constantly. Add the mushrooms, continue cooking & stirring for another minute or so. Season with a dash or two of balsamic vinegar and Italian seasoning to taste.

Reduce heat to  as low as you can go then cover the mushrooms. Leave the garlic mushrooms to sweat for at least ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Take the lid off and let them cook for at least another 10 minutes, to caramelize. 

While mushrooms are cooking, grate cauliflower by hand or with a food processor.  Place grated cauliflower in a steamer with water and steam until softened.  Transfer “rice” into a serving dish and scoop mushrooms over cauliflower rice.

Options: you can add onions or shallots to the mushrooms.  If you are feeling a bit lazy, you can steam whole cauliflower and mash with a potato masher.  


Serve and Enjoy!  For those of you who are vegan, enjoy simply alone and for those of you that are carnivores, this is a great side dish. 

Magic Mineral Broth

If you or someone you isn't feeling well, whether it is a cold or cancer this soup is magical!  Will get anyone filled with nutrients right away.  http://rebeccakatz.com/recipes/magic_mineral_broth.html

Recipe is from the book, "Cancer Fighting Kitchen".  A must have for any one in the fight.

Blueberry Muffin Recipe

This recipe was passed along to me by Aunt Sue.  She got the recipe from the "Forks over Knives - the how to companion to the feature documentary Forks over Knives- cookbook".

1 medium banana - mashed

one 15 oz can sweet potato puree (I substituted with organic pumpkin)

1/4 cup maple syrup (I used agave nectar as I can't have maple syrup)

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups whole oat flour 

1/2 tsp soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ginger

1 cup fresh blueberries


Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes and Enjoy!  You can make muffins or make a bread loaf.


These are perfect snacks for me while I am not feeling well so I prepped them beforehand. They are incredibly, incredibly healthy.  Good for anyone wanting a sweet treat but no sugar and all good nutrients, for diabetics or cancer patients.  

Coconut, Chocolate and Banana Dollups

These are fantastic!  No sugar and super healthy


Chocolate Chip, Banana, Peanut Butter and Coconut Dollups:

Ingredients:

3 large bananas

1 tsp of vanilla extract

1/4 cup of organic peanut butter (see the brand I use- below)
3 cups of dried coconut flakes (unsweetened)

1 tsp cinnamon

sea salt to taste

1 cup of dates (remove the pits)

1 organic vegan 72% or higher dark chocolate (broken into chunks)

Directions: Mix the bananas and dates in a high powered mixer (I use my Breville) until smooth and the lumps are removed. In a big bowl add all other ingredients and stir until evenly combined. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop dollops of the dough, each about 1 teaspoon in size on the baking sheets. Press down a bit to flatten them. Bake for 20 minutes or until the dollups are golden brown on the bottom.

Justin's Peanut Butter: This is now my favorite peanut butter.  Is it all natural- peanuts and organic palm oil.  I buy it at Whole Foods.  It is the ONLY nut butter I have found that does not add sugar and is all natural/organic. 

Cancer Fighting Kitchen

My kitchen has turned into a cancer fighting center.  I have always eaten healthy but now it is a laser focus on everything that I put into my body.  As I am learning more and more about cancer, there are many foods that help prevent cancer and those that have cancer, it keeps the cancer from spreading.

I will share with you my favorite new recipes, so you too, can have a cancer preventative kitchen.
