Kitchen Experiments – Beans for Dessert?

Flourless Coconut Great Northern Bean Blondies It seems like these days I am continually searching for new recipes and especially things made without flour. Anita and I have been on our low grain and fruit diet now for over a month and we are sick of what we are eating. We keep looking for different ways toContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Beans for Dessert?”

Kitchen Experiment – Lentil Loaf with Zucchini Latkes

I love it when you forget about something that you used to cook all the time and it suddenly pops into your head again! That is what happened the other night. We are still doing a 4 day rotation for the ALCAT diet and it was lentil night. Suddenly, lentil loaf popped into my head!Continue reading “Kitchen Experiment – Lentil Loaf with Zucchini Latkes”

Kitchen Experiments – Buckwheat Pancakes

Good morning! Sundays are my favorite day for many reasons – but most especially because it is the one morning where I get to sleep in and have a slow start to the day. The cooler fall mornings inspire me to cook a larger breakfast and this morning I felt like pancakes! Yes, we areContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Buckwheat Pancakes”

Kitchen Experiments – Fish Tacos

Every night seems like an adventure in our kitchen since we started the ALCAT diet. We are doing a 4 day rotation diet and some of the days are easier than others. Day 3 is my least favorite and most difficult when it comes to snacking. Day 4 has also been a bit of aContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Fish Tacos”

When I went to school for my masters in nutrition at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington, I had a great teacher for the class “Cooking with Whole Foods.” It was probably my favorite class out of all the classes that I took because we actually cooked in the class. It was in this class thatContinue reading “Kitchen Experiment – Brown Rice Crispy Treats”

Kitchen Experiments – Stuffed Zucchini

It was millet day again on the Alcat Rotation Diet and I was once again trying to find something new to make. Millet day also includes zucchini, butternut squash and cannelini beans. I thought about what I could do differently and then I remembered seeing a recipe in a magazine once of stuffed zucchini made withContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Stuffed Zucchini”

Kitchen Experiments – Pumpkin Pie

Well, maybe calling it a pumpkin pie is a little bit of a stretch. Could we call it a pumpkin crisp since it only had a topping and not a bottom crust? So once again a typical recipe for pumpkin pie/crisp could not be followed since the Alcat diet plan has us following a 4-day rotationContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Pumpkin Pie”

Kitchen Experiments – Nut Butter

I love nuts! I love nut butters! I love how easy it is to make any kind of nut butter using my new Vitamix! With the Alcat diet plan that we have been following now for almost 3 months, it is recommended that you follow a 4 day rotation diet plus eliminate all food intolerances that were found throughContinue reading “Kitchen Experiments – Nut Butter”
