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!

Honey Butter **

Honey Butter

This is probably my very favorite Honey Butter recipe. I got it from my friend Heather, who is literally the master bread maker in these parts. She has this honey butter {or raspberry honey butter} on supply almost every time we are at their home. Make sure you are patient and really whip it for the full time. I promise, it makes all the difference! {ok, you don't HAVE to, but just trust me}. To make the raspberry honey butter just add raspberry jam when you add the marshmallow cream…you don't need a lot…add to taste!



Honey Butter

1 Cup Honey
1 Cup Butter, slightly softened
7 oz. Marshmallow Cream
1 TBSP Powdered Sugar

Beat honey and butter together with electric mixer for 15 minutes. Scrap sides of bowl once or twice to make sure the ingredients are incorporated well. Stir the marshmallow cream and powdered sugar into the honey mixture until well combined. Store in airtight container in the fridge {will hold up nicely for a few weeks}.




**Side note, I was in a hurry once and wasn't paying attention... I threw all the ingredients in @ the same time. DON'T do that. You will have a mess of liquid-y honey butter. Not so great.
