Curried Pumpkin Soup

January 9, 2011 by KerryAnn 5 Comments

On the Facebook page for Cooking Traditional Foods, I often post what I’m cooking, along with reminders to do things like thaw your meat and soak your grains.  Today I mentioned that I’m making curried pumpkin soup in preparation for the power outage that is expected.  Several people requested the recipe, so I decided to post it here.

Beginning tonight and through Tuesday, we’re expecting ice and snow.  I’m preparing four day’s worth of food.  I’ve also made potato soup and I’m making chili, cornbread, some brownies and possibly some baked goods for breakfast later today.

This soup is insanely good. The combination of pumpkin, coriander, coconut milk and curry is beyond fabulous. Don’t skimp on the rapadura, it offsets the spiciness and really makes the flavor pop.  If I could only have two soups in my life, this would be one of my choices.

Coconut Milk Yogurt

March 14, 2012 by KerryAnn 39 Comments

Finally, the recipe so many folks have been asking for. Coconut milk yogurt with all real food ingredients! The CTF Facebook page has been excitedly waiting for this one while seeing my multiple posts and pictures on the progress of the recipe.

This recipe is from the Menu Mailer, Volume 4 Week 29. Please consider supporting our blog by making a purchase of a Menu Mailer subscription or buying some of the issues of the Back to Basics Menu Mailer series. Mailers contain the recipes, shopping list and prep schedule for 6 meals and one dessert every week.  We add extras such as this coconut milk yogurt as we develop the recipes.  The Mailer runs as low as $1 a week.  You can receive a free Menu Mailer that was published in January, 2011 if you sign up for our mailing list.

Coconut milk yogurt from the recipe as written, unstirred, incubated 20 hours.

 

The slightly tan color comes from using rapadura as the sweetener to feed the beneficial bacteria.  If you need a white yogurt, use honey.

Dollars to Donuts

February 21, 2011 by KerryAnn 16 Comments

We recently had a day that needed a special breakfast but I was having trouble coming up with the right thing to fix.  I started brainstorming out loud with my better half, from across the room.  We both buried ourselves into Google on our respective computers, looking for a good recipe to try.  The word ‘donut’ fell out.  We both smiled.  We have had donuts only a couple of times since we went gluten-free.  I have purchased the Kinninnick donuts twice from the salvage for special occasions, when we could get a box for $1.  But I don’t like to use them often, because they contain ingredients that aren’t real food.

The ingredients in Kinninnick vanilla donuts are

Icing (sugar, water, glucose, vanilla), Sugar, White Rice Flour, Tapioca Starch, Water, Whole Eggs, Sweet Rice Flour, Palm Fruit Oil (non hydrogenated), Frutooligosaccharide, Yeast, Pea Protein, Egg Whites, Xanthan Gum, Fruit Concentrate (dextrose, dextrin, fibre), Salt, Rice Bran Extract, Cellulose, KinnActive Baking Powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, pea starch, mono calcium phosphate), Glucono Delta Lactone, Sodium Bicarbonate, Nutmeg

Last time I checked, I wasn’t able to grow lactone or pyropho… pyra…… in my back yard.  Yeah.  And, for sake of comparison, here’s the ingredients in a Dunkin’ Donut:

Donut: Enriched Unbleached Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Iron as Ferrous Sulfate, Thiamin Mononitrate, Enzyme, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Palm Oil, Water, Dextrose, Soybean Oil, Whey (a milk derivative), Skim Milk, Yeast, Contains less than 2% of the following: Salt, Leavening (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Baking Soda), Defatted Soy Flour, Wheat Starch, Mono and Diglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Cellulose Gum, Soy Lecithin, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Artificial Flavor, Sodium Caseinate (a milk derivative), Enzyme, Colored with (Turmeric and Annatto Extracts, Beta Carotene), Eggs; Crunch Topping: Sugar, Coconut, Yellow Corn Flour, Caramel Color, BHT (antioxidant); Glaze: Sugar, Water, Maltodextrin, Contains 2% or less of the following: Mono and Diglycerides, Agar, Cellulose Gum, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Artificial Flavor; Apple Filling: Water, Sugar Syrup, Corn Syrup, Evaporated Apples, Modified Food Starch, Contains 2% or less of the following: Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate (Preservatives), Salt, Cinnamon, Malic Acid, Nutmeg.

I don’t think I need to say much about that list, it speaks for itself.  And Krispy Kreme won’t even give an ingredient list online that I could find.  Just a statement that they don’t use trans-fats in their shortening blend.  Ahem.

So I set out to make healthy donuts my kids would love. [Read more…] about Dollars to Donuts

Dollars to Donuts II- Chocolate Donuts

April 18, 2012 by KerryAnn 16 Comments

For information on the pans and techniques for making these donuts, see our first post in this series, Dollars to Donuts. This recipe is grain-free and nutrient dense. There is one egg and over one tablespoon of fat in each donut, and the recipe has a low-sweetener option. I prefer making the low-sweetener variety using Nu Naturals Stevia. I get my stevia from Iherb.com. You can get a discount on your first order with coupon code KED184.

 

Chocolate Grain-Free Donut

 

Chocolate Donuts

1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/3 tsp salt
1/3 – 1/2 cup rapadura/sucanat and 1/4 tsp stevia or 1 cup rapadura (2 cups if your family has not adjusted to low-sugar)
6 eggs
1/2 cup coconut milk, dairy milk or water
1 Tbs vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup butter, melted (or additional coconut oil)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease your pan, if you are using stoneware, and set aside.

Sift together the coconut flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. If you are using powdered stevia, sift this in as well. Set the bowl aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rapadura, eggs, milk, vanilla and oil. Whisk the wet into the dry ingredients. Add a little extra water or milk, if needed, to get the batter to come together and be wet enough to pour. Quickly pour into the greased pan- I made this easier by transferring the batter to a pyrex measuring cup so I could measure and pour without blobbing the batter all over the little divet-thingie in the pan. The coconut flour will absorb the fluid as it sits, so get it into the pan so it is easier to work with. Jiggle the pan a little to get the batter to level out.

Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean for a stoneware mini-bundt pan. For a traditionally-sized donut pan, the baking time would be reduced to 15-18 minutes.

Glaze- I make my donuts to be very low sweetener, then mixed a little powdered sugar with some cocoa, vanilla extract and enough unsweetened almond milk to make a glaze and drizzled it over.

Good, Better, Best- Dairy’s Out, Now What?

April 20, 2011 by KerryAnn 3 Comments

Last week, my dad was diagnosed with cancer.  I was pretty upset even though we fully expected the diagnosis.  After dinner that night, I pulled out a piece of dairy cheesecake and ate it.  It was comfort food, and this daddy’s girl needed some comfort.

If you follow my blog, forum or website, you know at one time I was severely allergic to dairy.  In fact, once I quit reacting to dairy, I totally lost my taste for it.  Yes, it does taste good, but I don’t crave it anymore.  I could take it or leave it.  The problem was that I didn’t leave it last week.  I suffered no (I’ll spare you the awful details) symptoms of my former intolerance.  Only one tiny thing happened.  I went from a size 6 to a 10/12 overnight.  The next morning, I couldn’t get one thing I owned over my hips or around my bust despite not feeling bloated.  That led to a good cry and me swearing off all dairy in all forms for a very long time.

I’m fine with that.

So what do you do when either you can’t tolerate dairy, there’s none locally that is raw or you can’t afford the good stuff?  I suggest [Read more…] about Good, Better, Best- Dairy’s Out, Now What?

Coconut milk yogurt

January 26, 2011 by KerryAnn Leave a Comment

I’ve been working on making a thick and rich coconut milk yogurt.  As soon as the recipe is done, I’ll be putting it into the Menu Mailer.  This was one of my last rounds.

 It’s coming out creamy and nicely thick.  I’ve also tested a yogurt cheese made into cheesecake recipe, and we enjoyed that.  Look for these recipes in the Menu Mailer in the coming weeks.
