Caryn's Almond Milk recipe
Hey, I just wanted to share with you almond milk people a trick my kids and I used when they were little and wanted a type of milk as a comfort food, but were milk intolerant--and we didn't have the choices now available in the stores.

We would blend a cup of almonds in about 3-4 cups of water depending on the thickness you desire, in a blender starting low then going up to high speed for a bit until well blended.

Then we would pour some of this mixture into a clean (only used for this!) knee high nylon over a bowl and "milk the almond" as we called it. Works great to get the grit out better than most strainers and the kids loved doing it. They still do.

My daughter (who is a culinary grad) still loves to make it sometimes as a comfort food. It is very soothing to the stomach and nerves, and she is sensitive to both dairy and sugars.

You can sweeten this if desired with whatever you use, or take it straight. With a little vanilla and spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, etc), it is like an egg nog.

Frozen in popsicle makers is a good summer treat too for kids (and grown ups).

Linda's Mayo Recipe
1 t. lemon juice
1 egg (I use powdered because I'm very susceptible to salmonella)
2 T. vinegar
1/8 t. dry mustard powder
dash pepper
dash garlic salt
1 cu. oil (I use walnut)

Blend all except oil in blender. Add oil slowly through hole in top.

I make my own mayo because I can't have any of the sweeteners that are in manufactured mayo. This tastes fine without any sweetener, but you could add stevia or whatever sweetener you like.

Mayfair-Lennox Salad Dressing

This has been a family favorite for years. The Mayfair-Lennox was a posh hotel in St. Louis MO and this was their house dressing. Don't know where I got this recipe (may have been published in a local paper). It is fine for the liberal HG liberal diet and with a few tweaks, should do for the HG strict.

1 clove garlic
1 rib celery
1 T. lemon Juice*
1/2 medium onion*
2 oz can flat anchovie filets
1/2 t sugar substitute

 

Jamie S


This recipe is a take-off on the San Franscisco favorite, JOE'S SPECIAL. It's quick and easy and I think OK for HG strict and liberal. I call it:

Jamie's Mom's Sausage Special

10 oz pkg of frozen chopped spinach
1 pound Italian sausage (our local one is ok for HG strict)
6 eggs, lightly beaten

Put spinach, box and all on a plate and microwave according for as long as directed When done, remove and drain really well in a sieve or collander. Fry sausage, breaking it up into small pieces. If you can only find links, remove from casings before frying. When brown, stir in eggs and spinach. Stir well and cook until eggs are done. Seasonings can be added as desired.
Servings depend on how hungry everyone is. Reheats well as a leftover.

 

Jamie S Copyright © April 2006


Linda´s Nuts with Stevia

Throw a handful or two of raw pecan pieces or halves into a microwave safe dish. Top with a Tbsp. of margarine or butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and dust lightly with stevia powder. Heat in microwave 45-60 seconds and enjoy.

Yummmm. To us sweet-snack deprived folks, anyway.

 

Linda Bickford Copyright © August 2006


Linda's Dairy-Free HG Chocolate Sauce

2 tsp. (give or take) Wonder Cocoa
1 Tbs. food-grade vegetable glycerin
2 Tbs. margarine or butter (butter has no lactose or casein, so is usually OK for dairy-free diets)
1/2-3/4 tsp. liquid stevia

Melt about 20 seconds in microwave and stir. Yum.

Crock Pot Chicken (from Linda's Friend who gave permission to share).

summer sausage, sliced very thin
8-10 boneless chicken breasts
8-10 slices of bacon
1/2 can nacho cheese soup
1/4 cup sour cream

Line bottom of crock with slices of summer sausage. Wrap a lice of bacon around each chicken breast and place on the top of sausage. Mix soup and sour cream, adding water if it is to thick. Pour over chicken.

 

Cook 3-4 hours on High.

 

(from Linda's Friend who gave permission to share).


Sweet and Sour Beef
Somewhere between a strict & liberal low-carb recipe.


2 lbs. stew meat
2-3 T. soy flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 T. butter
1 T. olive oil
1 onion (chopped)
1/2 c. sugar free ketchup
2 T. brown Sugar Twin
2 T. Splenda
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 c. water
salt and pepper to taste.

Mix flour, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over meat. Brown in the butter and olive oil in a skillet. Place the browned meat in the crock pot, along with the onion.  Mix the rest of the ingredients and pour over the meat. Cook 6-8 hrs. on Low.
Can add vegetables for a different stew.

TIP --- I brown my meat in the crock pot :)


(from Linda's Friend who gave permission to share).


Mock Filet Mignon

1 lb. ground beef
1 T. vegetable oil
1 tbs. salt
1/2 tbs. pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
4 strips of bacon
1 4 oz. mushroom pieces, drained
3 T. butter
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
dash red pepper sauce

Combine meat, oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well. Shape into 4 patties. Wrap strip of bacon around each and attach with a toothpick.  Cook on grill for 10 to 15 mins on each side or to desired doneness.

Sautee mushrooms with the butter adding seasonings you like and serve over your meat.

(from Linda's Friend who gave permission to share).


Pizza

1/2 to 1 lbs ground beef or turkey
1 cup pizza sauce
handful of pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella ( or mix or add your favorite cheese)
1/2 cup mushrooms
1/2 cup green bell peppers

Flatten ground meat into a round pizza pan. Cook this in the oven for
15 minutes at 375 degrees F. Take out of oven, top with pizza sauce,
cheese and toppings. Cook for another 15 mins.

I use a glass pan to cook it in.

Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue & Irritable Bowel: Treating Symptoms Treating Cause

By Dr Gregory K. Penniston
(The re-titled new edition to
The Guaifenesin Guide)

A unique book that gives sufferers and their families clear explanations and practical information on every type of treatment for these distressing and hard to manage disorders. It dispels the misconceptions, that lead some people to dismiss these conditions, with thoughtful explanations and reasoning. This book gives emphasis to eliminating the conditions by addressing their 'cause', with a commonly used 'over-the-counter' medication, guaifenesin and provides detailed, easy-to-follow guidelines.

 

 

              

 

Examining Guaifenesin

      

 

 

Parting the Fog: The Personal Side of Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

By Sue Jones, a GG Member

Parting the Fog" is a candid, first person account of what it is like to walk in the shoes of someone suffering from fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome. It relays the seriousness of this condition in an easy-to-read manner, while employing humor and focusing on hope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crack Up at the Wake of Dawn: Everyday Poetry to Incite and Delight Your Soul

Another great Book from our GG Member Sue Jones!  If you are a fan of "Parting the Fog", you won't want to miss this book. Although it isn't specific to fibro, you WILL find chapters you can closely relate to, since many topics are dealt with. Some of the poems may make you cry, others make you laugh, and still others trigger a thought or give you greater insight. Whichever the case, you won't be left unaffected.
