http://www.ymca.net/y-profile/?assn=5914 The day has not been established yet.
As you can see we are making a dent trying to change the world one bite at a time.
Our menu for this week included:
Stuffed Mushrooms, Sweet Potato Soup with sprouted quinoa, Tangy Broccoli Salad, Victorian Tea Sandwiches (Gluten Free and vegan), Cauliflower Couscous and Heart Healthy Berry Crisp.
 |
| Stuffed Mushrooms Raw or Baked Carrots, walnuts, red pepper, garlic, oregano & nutritional flakes |
 |
| Sweet Potato Soup Saute sweet potatoes, carrots, collard stems (or celery), onion & garlic. |
Add enough vegetable broth
to puree, adjusting the amount of broth for
your desired consistency.
|
| Add grated frozen ginger - freezing ginger creates a powdery look instead of stringy. This allows the ginger to be more uniform throughout the soup. Drizzle in molasses (we girls need our iron and molasses provides 15g per tablespoon, black strap = 20g per tablespoon). |
 |
| A couple spoonfuls of sprouted quinoa, curry, chili powder, sage and cayenne round out the flavors. As a garnish we added unsweetened shredded coconut, plumped craisins and black sesame seeds. |
Tangy Broccoli Salad
We need our greens! To our serving platter add a large handful of leafy greens, we used watercress.
Chop broccoli, onion and red pepper, top salad. In a small bowl add tomato paste, water, vinegar and cilantro to make a pourable dressing
(low calories and 0 fat - although we need fat in our diets.
 |
| Drizzle over the salad. This will make your saliva glands dance with joy. |
Victorian Tea Bread Gluten Free & Vegan, made in a skillet.
We used an all purpose flour gluten free flour made from beans, added raw sugar cane, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, orange zest, cloves, coconut oil, soured oat milk and a flaxmeal egg substitute.Place the dough in a warm pan to mimic a hot oven.
 |
| Topping each quadrant with a puree of cannelini beans and maple syrup. Add craisins for color, tang and texture. Chop a red apple, placed on each open faced sandwich and sprinkled with cinnamon |
Cauliflower Couscous
Hold the stem of the cauliflower, use a knife to shave the florets, resembling very much like couscous. If you would like a softer texture, simply steam the cauliflower.
Add marinaded artichokes, olives, sundried tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, a fresh herb such as basil, olive oil, lime or orange juice and chia seeds.
Thanks to my daughter for the wonderful Mediterranean healthy recipe.
Heart Healthy Berry Crisp
 |
| Place fresh or thawed frozen berries into an oven proof baking dish. Top with raw cane sugar and cornstarch or arrowroot. Stir. For the crisp: mash dates, add walnuts, oat flour and cinnamon. Eat raw or add to a preheated oven and bake until bubbly. Allow to cool. |
