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!

Easy Flaked Almond "Tuna" Salad

1 cup raw almonds, soaked for 3-9 hours (overnight works well)
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 T vegan mayo
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1T fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp sea salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
pinch of kelp granules (optional)

1. Soak almonds until plump and squeeze them out of their skins (second part is optional but easy to do and makes a difference.)

2. Put almonds into food processor or Vitamix on lowest setting and process until finely chopped...it should look like flaked tuna. Place into medium mixing bowl

3. To bowl-Add remaining ingredients.

Leftovers last in fridge about 3 days. Serve in whole grain pita, crackers, bread or over a bed of greens with some Milwaukee dill pickles on the side-YUM! It really tastes like a tuna salad.
