Happy Holidays
Hi ,
Happy Holidays
The winter Solstice is upon us - the shortest day of the year. In ancient times this was a day of prayers and fasting (or sometimes feasting) as it marks the end of the solar year and the beginning of a new year. To really appreciate just how widely this event is celebrated across the globe and through the years check out this link to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia
I thought I would celebrate by sharing some rainy day pictures of my neighborhood just to highlight how much beauty there is all around us if we just stop and take it in. Enjoy.
Mock Candied Yams
For those of you that are boldly holding to a low carb holiday food fest, here is a treat that Ellen invented for our early Christmas dinner last weekend - A Mock Candied Yams dish. It was amazing, and no one was able to guess the real ingredients.
In a good pot put:
14 medium carrots - peeled and sliced
3 medium turnips - peeled and sliced
1 sweet onion - sliced
3 cups water
3 Tbs. Chicken Better than Bullion - low sodium
cover and bring to a simmer.
Cook till tender.
Transfer the veggies with a slotted spoon into the blender then add 1 cup of the liquid from the pot of vegetables.
Blend to a puree
Add 2 Tbs. Ghee and 1/2 tsp ground Nutmeg and blend together.
Pour this all into a casserole dish.
To make this dish really festive we decided to put a crumb crust on top of the vegetable puree. We planned this step a day in advance. I took a package of the Miracle Protein Bread and mixed it up as per the instructions, then added 1/4 cup Ghee, 1/8 cup Super Sweet sweetener (equal to 1 cup sugar), and 2 tsp of french vanilla. I cooked up the bread the usual time.
The result is similar to a buttery pound cake. I then took 6 slices of the bread and put them in the dehydrator to dry. By the next day it was crispy and ready to crush into crumb sized pieces to put on the top of the Mock Candied Yams. With the topping in place 1 hour before the meal, I put the casserole pan in the oven at 200 degrees to slowly warm up to serving temperature.
It truly does taste like candied yams, but with only a small fraction of the carbs in the real thing.
Enjoy your Holidays
Good Journey,
David
Announcement
Now you can have your cake and eat it too!
I have just finished creating three new Miracle Protein Bread Enhancers. These are flavor enhancement packages for the Miracle Protein Bread basic mix. Now you can turn your Miracle Protein Bread into delicious Dark Chocolate Cake Bread, Lemon Poppy Seed Bread, and a Dieter's Super Fiber Bread. The Chocolate Bread and the Lemon Poppy Seed are sweetened with Dr Dave's Super Sweet Powder so they are NO SUGAR, very low Carb, high protein, and high fiber, good for you delicious treats.
The Dieter's Super Fiber enhancer increases the fiber level to 8 grams per slice! One slice with a glass of water before each meal and you will feel filled up before you even start to eat your meal. This fiber gives the Miracle Bread a look, feel, and taste of a whole grain bread.
Plus! I have increased the Magnesium content of the bread mix to promote greater ease and relaxation in your nervous system. Magnesium and potassium support the functioning of your anti-stress nervous system, the parasympathetic nerves. This promotes better digestion, greater ease in your muscles, and about a few hundred other things.
Take your Miracle Bread to new heights of eating pleasure. Enjoy! In the office now.
