Jackie's Health Tip of the Week 9/25/16

1:59 PM Jackie Mart 0 Comments

Cauliflower has been up and coming and the new "in" thing to avoid grains and gluten in pizza crust and as a replacement for rice!! One serving of cauliflower contains 77 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin C. It's also a good source of vitamin K, protein, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, fiber, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, potassium, and manganese. Below is one of the recipes I like to make with it! So easy and I love the salty taste! You can read more about the health benefits of cauliflower here: https://draxe.com/cauliflower/



Cauliflower "Popcorn" 

Ingredients: (all organic if possible)

1 head cauliflower
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt, to taste

Directions:


  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Trim the head of cauliflower, discarding the core and thick stems; cut florets into pieces about the size of ping-pong balls.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and salt, whisk, then add the cauliflower pieces and toss thoroughly.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup (you can skip that, if you don't have any) then spread the cauliflower pieces on the sheet and roast for 1 hour, turning 3 or 4 times, until most of each piece has turned golden brown.
  5. (The browner the cauliflower pieces turn, the more caramelization occurs and the sweeter they'll taste).
  6. Serve immediately.

Jackie's Health Tip of the Week 9/11/16

10:48 AM Jackie Mart 0 Comments



Save money by cooking your own beans, peas and lentils!  You can buy a whole bag of dried beans, peas, and lentils, and cook up what you need. Or, you can spend twice the money to get them canned. Cooking them yourself just requires a little advance planning, since you need to soak them overnight or put them in a slow cooker. Canned food usually contains way more sodium than we want or need! I really found this page from Whole Foods helpful. It breaks down all sorts of different types of beans and explains how to prepare and cook them.

5 Minute Paleo Sorbet 

INGREDIENTS: (all organic if possible)

¾ cup regular coconut milk. (Don’t get the ‘light’ version as it will not work the same)
2.5 cups unsweetened frozen fruit (pineapple and mango work great)
5 drops liquid stevia

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Place coconut milk and frozen fruit into blender, and blend on high until frozen fruit is completely blended. Add in a little more coconut milk if mixture seems too thick.
  2. Add in 5 drops liquid stevia and blend once again until well mixed.

Notes:


Feel free to use any frozen fruit you want, just make sure it is unsweetened. Top with additional fruit, raw coconut shreds or any toppings of your choosing.
