Pan-Seared Tilapia with Curry Butter & Coconut Basmati Rice
This dish is light but tastes rich and indulgent! The aromatic flavor of the basmati rice dances in perfect harmony with coconut, then combine with curry and butter, and it is simply heaven! I use clarified butter or ghee as a dairy-free alternative to whole butter. Put a pound of butter over low heat until separated, skim the froth off the top. Then you have nice, translucent butter in the middle. Latel out this part of the butter, careful not to get the white liquid in the bottom. You can leave this at room...
Read MoreAlmond Butter with Coconut oil
Almonds and almond butter are always on hand at our house. Almonds make a great snack, or alternative to chips, and are loaded with essential fats which are incredibly healthful for all of us. Check out this great article from Bob’s Red Mill about the health benefits of almond butter. Almond butter also is easy to prepare while doing other things, just throw the almonds in the food processor and let it run. I use coconut oil in my almond butter, which adds another dimension to the essential fats and the...
Read MoreREAL Mayonnaise (Canola)
Since going dairy free, we began eating more mayo, so much that it has gotten really expensive! I try to avoid vegetable/soybean oil, and prefer only organic eggs, which leaves us with very few options, all of which are pricey. This mayo is better than any that I’ve bought. The taste is fresh and creamy. I enjoy using it to make Ranch dressing and any composed salad. I use Canola oil, but you can use any oil that you prefer, just keep in mind that if you use extra virgin olive oil, that would be delicious...
Read MoreHealthy Fish and Chips with Tartar Sauce
My son loves fish sticks and chicken fingers, so I needed to create a healthful and allergy free version. When it comes to changing the eating habits of a 3 year old who has never had food restrictions, to one that has multiple food restrictions, re-creating the classics are an absolute must. We enjoy this breading with fish or chicken. It can be varied by changing the seasoning mix that is added. Once again, if you are going to make the effort to cook from scratch, then why not make it as nutritious as possible?...
Read MoreCreamy Dreamy Chocolate Strawberry Ice Cream – Dairy free
Finding dairy free ice cream that does not contain soy, is not easy. So Delicious makes luscious ice cream made of coconut milk, but it is on the expensive side so it is certainly a splurge item, but well worth it. I have done a lot of experimenting to make an ice cream that rivals dairy based ice cream. My kids deserve to have a “normal” summer which includes ICE CREAM. Since I am making it from scratch, I want it to be healthy, full of protein and nutrients. I truly believe that we need the right...
