Yellow Beets; Cream Cheese Keto Pancakes – Yum!

My Boldor Yellow Beets this year were awesome! They are great for salads, pickling, roasting, and now, sauteing!

1 yellow beet

Simply wash well and slice; no need to peel and gently saute until tender in butter or coconut oil. Serve with a little unrefined salt. If you like ginger, you may sprinkle a little on them as they finish cooking.

A new to me idea were these Cream Cheese Pancakes shared with me last week by Theresa.

2 heaping tablespoons of goat cream cheese

2 large organic eggs

1 drop stevia optional

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. psyllium husks

1 tsp. baking powder

1/4 cup ground almonds or almond flour

1/2 tsp. vanilla.

Place all ingredients in Nutri Bullet or blender and blend for 30 seconds.

Let sit for 2 minutes for bubbles to settle, and cook for 2 minutes, then flip to finish.

Serve with butter, peanut butter, and maple syrup or yogurt and fruit sauce.

Yum! Bounty of the garden!

Here are a couple of recipes……..

Are you enjoying the harvest of early fruits and veggies??  I’ve been making my Cilantro Pesto! Remember the healing qualities  of this super nutritious recipe? Fresh garlic super healing; selenium from Brazil nuts is anti-cancer; dulse powder to stimulate the thyroid; hemp oil for that important hormone balancing gamma linoleic acid; pumpkin seeds for zinc for healing and magnesium. It is said that cilantro removes heavy metals from the body. So nows the time to pack a few jars away in the freezer.

Cilantro Pesto (from Eat Away Illness page 8.)

4 cloves garlic

1/3 cup brazil nuts

1/3 cup sunflower seeds

1/3 cup pumpkin seeds

2 cups packed cilantro

2/3 cup hempseed oil

4 tbsp. lemon juice

2 tsp. dulse powder

1 tsp. Celtic sea salt or to taste

1. Process the cilantro and oil in a food processor until a paste.
2. Add the garlic, nuts and seeds, dulse and lemon juice, and salt and process until the mixture is finely blended to the desired consistency.
3. Store in glass jars, and freeze if not using in three or four days.
4. Use this pesto on wholegrain pasta, homemade pizza, on crackers as a snack, on baked potatoes, toss with roasted veggies, add to vegetable soup, mix with other ingredients for salad dressing, slather over salmon filets and bake. Use this super nutritious food often!

SASKATOON BERRY CRISP!

And how about those juicy Saskatoons ready for making a fruit crisp? In my article in Book One of What Your Doctor Doesn’t Tell You About Foods it says Saskatoons are rich in anthrocyanidins and proanthrocyanadins. These compounds have the ability to prevent destruction of joint structures. (“Arthritis” by Michael Murray ND)

This is my favourite recipe to make with Saskatoons! It is called Blueberry Crumble on page 352 of Eat Away illness. Just substitute Saskatoons for the blueberries!

4 cups cleaned and washed Saskatoons

1/4 cup whole grain flour of your choice

1 tbsp. lemon juice

1. Mix the above and place in an oiled 9″ x 9″ pan and bake at 350 F. for 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix together:

2/3 cup melted butter or ghee or coconut oil for dairy-free

1/2 cup whole grain flour of choice (millet, quinoa or buckwheat for gluten-free)

1/2 cup maple syrup or liquid honey

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 1/2 cups oat flakes

1/2 cup slivered almonds ( may mix into topping or sprinkle on top)

1/4 cup chia seeds optional

1. Spread this mixture over the Saskatoons and bake at 350 F. for 30 – 40 minutes or until golden.

Enjoy gardening for great taste and healing!

BEET GREENS AND A HOUSE CONCERT!

I’m happy to say my garden is doing so much better than last year; and the harvesting has already begun. What could be healthier than having a green smoothie with your own homegrown greens? I’ve planted three types of beets this year: Golden, Red Cylinder, and Chiogga. The plan was to make my refrigerator pickles with all three, and to dehydrate and powder the red beets for smoothies and salads. Much to my surprise I tried the baby greens in my morning green smoothie and they were wonderful! Little stems and all. So now I’ve been thinning the many rows! and so far have about 4 large ziplock bags stored in my freezer. Generally to freeze veggies they should be blanched, and I do this to make blocks of frozen greens e.g. spinach for my Spinach Pies, etc. but to use for smoothies I just washed well, packed in a ziplock, froze, and then squished the bags down. Amazing how the frozen leaves condense down for easy storage.

Washing the cylinder beet greens.

Chiogga Beet Greens ready for the freezer.

I find the Chiogga and Golden beet greens somewhat milder than the cylinder or red beet greens.

And now, the Concert! A reminder that the July 31st house concert with Whiskey and Wine still has some tickets available. Sunday from 2:00 – 4:30p.m. Tickets are $25 and etransfer please to save your spot. Call to purchase tickets and get directions.
