Muffins!
Hi ,
One of the kind things folks have done to support Ellen and I while we travel through the stroke-recovery-experience with Ellen is to bring food over for us. This is a challenge at the best of times, as most folks know our diet is restricted. Well, last week our neighbors from across the street brought over some muffins along with the recipe so we could see if wee could eat them or simply have them available for the folks that were sitting with Ellen. Ellen ate one and declared that this was the best muffin recipe ever.
Unfortunately for me, the recipe contained a little bit of wheat four so I could not eat it. But I decided that I could certainly convert the recipe over to an acceptable form for me and remake them. I did that last night and the result was delicious. Ellen says that the original recipe is a little bit better, but it is hard to beat the addiction satisfying effects of real sugar and the gluteomorphins in wheat stimulating the heroin “feel good” brain receptors. But I thought I would give you both recipes here for you to play with.
The original is titled:
Kristi Muffins – Double Recipe
Cream: ½ cup butter
½ cup coconut oil
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup honey
Add: 4 eggs
4 carrots – grated
4 bananas
1 cup canned pumpkin
Mix in: ½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup coconut flour
1 cup oat bran
1 cup Almond meal
4 Tbs. Flaxseed meal or seeds
3 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. salt
Bake at 375º for 21 to 26 minutes
Substitutions: 9 baby carrots = 1 big carrot
1 cup applesauce = 2 bananas
Net result = the best muffins in the universe.
David’s Version of Kristi’s Muffins – Double Recipe
The main things I would have to change to make it safe for my consumption would be the sugar, the wheat flour, and the butter. If I also want to make it low carb, I would also change out the honey and the oat bran, and make the bananas slightly green. (When bananas are slightly green the starch inside is resistant to digestion.) Since I don't have the stretchy binding of the wheat flour, I add a little egg white powder to hold things together better.
Cream: ½ cup Smart Balance buttery spread
½ cup coconut oil or palm shortening
1 cup Dr. Dave’s Double sugar
2 Tbs. Molasses
Add:4 eggs
4 carrots – grated
4 bananas - slightly green
1 cup canned pumpkin
Mix in: ½ cup Flaxseed flour
½ cup coconut flour
½ cup oat fiber
1 cup Almond flour
1/2 cup egg white powder
½ cup applesauce
3 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. sea salt
Bake at 375º for 21 to 26 minutes
 I used paper muffin cups. This is a solid muffin so don’t expect the batter to rise much at all. That means to go ahead and fill the muffin cups all the way up. I also let my muffins bake about 5 minutes longer as they seemed too moist.
If you have a favorite muffin recipe that does not use grains or dairy, send it to me so I can publish it for all my newsletter readers to enjoy. After all, we all need a great muffin now and then.
Take care,
David

Re: Ellen
Ellen is staying in the office during the day now. We did not want to wear out the generosity of all the people that have volunteered to sit with Ellen during the day. She is even able to see a couple clients during the day, but for only half an hour per visit. More than that is still to fatiguing for her.

Which carbs and proteins you choose greatly impact weight gain
A huge long term study of 120,000 people followed for 16 years has shown that exactly which carbs and proteins you eat significantly control weight gain. Carbs with a high glycemic load like sugar, flour products, potatoes, and similar high starch foods as well as red meats and processed meats all increased weight over time. Low glycemic fruits and vegetables and sea food, skinless chicken, and nuts all produced weight loss over time. Interestingly fat consumption did not affect weight gain. The observation was that those that ate low fat foods tended to increase their consumption of simple carbs to make up the calories which in turn made them gain more weight.

Flame retardants make you fat
Chemicals used as synthetic flame retardants that are found in common household items such as couches, carpet padding, and electronics have been found to cause metabolic and liver problems that can lead to insulin resistance, which is a major cause of obesity.

Curcumin found to lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol.
A 12 week study using less than 1890mg of curcumin per day on patients with metabolic syndrome demonstrated a lowering of bad cholesterol, a raising of good cholesterol, and a lowering of triglycerides at levels equal to that found with cholesterol lowering drugs. This was with curcumin without modification to improve its absorption like I have with my anti-inflammatory chocolate.

Our address is 9725 Fair Oaks Blvd.
Finding the new location is very easy. Coming from highway 50 up Sunrise Blvd, you turn left and go up a block. We are on the right hand side - the building just past the Subway Sandwich shop. If you are coming down Sunrise from the Mall area then just turn right on Fair Oaks Blvd and up a block on the right.
If you are coming from the Roseville area you could come down Sunrise Blvd, but that is a long trek. It is probably shorter time wise to come down Auburn Blvd - San Juan Ave like you have been for the Sunset office, but instead of turning left at Sunset, keep going straight 3 more lights to Fair Oaks Blvd and turn left. Go down 2 lights to New York Ave, go through the intersection, and immediately turn into the turn lane once the center divider ends. We are on the left.
