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!

Hot Potato! Hot Potato!

Easter's funeral potatoes kill ya off?! Use this recipe instead next time!
Hint: When replacing cheese or other dairy products in your diet-up the fresh herbs to infuse your food with flavor and give your body "super food" benefits!

Approx 2.5 pounds of either red or russet potatoes, scrubbed and cubed into bite size pieces
6 cloves of garlic

1 onion, diced
1 T olive oil
1/2-1 tspThyme
1/2-1 tsp Cumin
1/2-1 tsp Smoked paprika
Salt
Pepper

1 T Dijion mustard
1/2 -1 cup fresh dill or 1-2 T dried dill
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped


1. Put cubed potatoes and garlic into pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10min or until a fork can go through the potato with no effort.

2. While potatoes are cooking, sauté the onion in the olive oil until they start to brown-season with thyme, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper and stir for about another minute. Add a splash water if needed to prevent sticking.

3. Drain potato water making sure garlic stays with potatoes, then add the onion mix, Dijion mustard and fresh herbs gently folding it in with a spatula. (Try to avoid excess force and mashing of said potatoes.)

-Add more salt, pepper or seasonings to taste-serve hot.
