DELIVERING DELECTABLE DISHES DAY & NIGHT!

My immediate family has dealt with lactose intolerance, IBS, auto immune disorders and fatal cancer. From Fall '09-Summer 2010 I went from running 1/2 marathons to not being able to get out of bed, plagued with intense headaches, exhaustion and more. With my family history and my own immune system comprimised I was motivated to take a bit of a journey to better health. Slowly I've made considerable changes, (I'm not always 100% vigilant), but I know these changes have helped me return to better health...FOOD CHANGES: I cut out gluten, cut out most dairy, cut down on the "white stuff"-sugar, white rice & flour, decreased the amount of processed foods consumed, drink green smoothies regularly, eliminated red meat and eat more vegetarian and vegan dishes...just to name a few!

I use gluten free (GF) pasta and either a whole grain blend by Nalani Brown or a mix from Kathy Taylor for most bread, cake and cookie recipes-they are awesome! (If you like Kathy's mix, email me to order her cookbook at ishagirlclub@gmail.com.)

GF mix can be substituted straight across for regular flour if you aren't cooking gluten free!

Hope you enjoy!

Breakfast Sweet Potato with Cinnamon Drizzle

If you are a sweet potato fan like me, I am always looking for ways to bring them into my life more. This recipe is great for a hot breakfast breakfast or a dinner side. The drizzle is packed with protein (nut butter), iron and calcium (molasses), helps balance bowel flora (cinnamon).  The drizzle also goes well with waffles, pancakes or toast.

2 fist sized/1 large sweet potato cleaned/scrubbed, (skinned-optional) and sliced into 1/8 in rounds
2T nut butter
2T olive oil or flax seed oil
2 tsp blackstrap molasses
2 tsp cinnamon
1/8tsp salt

1. Steam potato rounds for 8-10 min until soft

2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl till well combined.

3. Dish out the sweet potato rounds and then drizzle the sauce over the top.
