Rice and Garbanzo Bean Salad with Kale

This nutrient-dense vegan salad is even better on the second day after the kale has softened from the olive oil and lemon juice! This is a great way to use leftover brown rice. If you do not have leftover cooked rice on hand then cook 1 ½ cups of rice with just under 3 cups of water and it will equal about 4 cups cooked. When making this salad, make sure your rice has cooled to room temperature. If you have chives growing in your garden, replace the green onions with approximately ½ cup chopped fresh chives.

White Nectarine Ice Cream

This creamy white dairy-free ice cream is flecked with little bits pink from the diced nectarine. It is sweet, rich, and scoops perfectly; definitely a crowd pleaser! I use my Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker to churn the blended ingredients into ice cream. When making this recipe you can use either fresh or frozen nectarines. If using frozen, your blended cream with turn into "ice cream" much quicker once in the ice cream maker.

Summer Vegetable Kitcheree

Kitcheree is an Indian stew meal made from mung beans and brown rice. Spices and vegetables make up the remaining ingredients which can vary widely. Here I use carrots, kale, peas, and cilantro. Fresh tomatoes can be added as well if you can tolerate nightshade vegetables and are not following a low-histamine diet.

Super Antioxidant Smoothie

This smoothie is a great way to introduce greens into your child's diet without overwhelming them with the color "green" in their smoothie. Start with a little spinach and then add more as their tastes adjust. I think the consistency is best if some of the fruit is frozen. I use frozen plums, blackberries, and blueberries. If you have leftovers, try pouring some into Popsicle molds. My kids love just about anything when it's frozen!

Cut it into small squares and place into your child's lunchbox with a bean spread or nut butter. This can also be made thinner by baking it in a 10 X 14-inch pan.

Healing Quinoa Cabbage Soup

The large sweet onion in this recipe is sautéed for a long time and then garlic, ginger, and carrots are added. Once the water is added a beautiful, flavorful clear broth forms. Then with the addition of Herbamare, the flavors deepen. Complexity is formed when the quinoa and cabbage are dropped in. With the final touch of cilantro, you have a bright, colorful, and flavorful soup just waiting to help your body detoxify!

Honey-Kissed Peach-Blueberry Muffins

These gluten-free, dairy-free beauties are packed with flavor! I have added a whole cup of almond flour which raises the protein and overall nutritional value. I also use sorghum flour which bakes up nice and light. I use unsweetened hemp milk for the milk, though I am sure cow or goat milk would work as well. Use two cups of diced fresh peaches or a combination of peaches and fresh blueberries. Other fruits work as well such as raspberries, blackberries, or chopped cherries!

Sautéed Romano Beans with Toasted Hazelnuts

Romano beans are available in the summertime from your local Farmer's Market. They are a pole bean, and incredibly easy to grow in your backyard! I use my large, 11-inch skillet for this recipe. Use a large enough pan so the beans can move around and sauté without being overcrowded and turn to mush. Cut very long beans in half to keep all of them relatively the same size.

15-Minute Poached Salmon

When you are in a hurry and need to put a nutritious meal on the table, consider poached fish! Any brand of marinara sauce works well in this recipe, just look for one that does not contain any added sugars. You can toss in some greens to the pan as well to round out the meal. Try chopped kale or spinach. The trick to keeping the salmon tender is to keep the heat low in order to produce a gentle simmer.

Zucchini Almond Bake

Serve this Paleo side dish with baked salmon or roasted chicken. It's a great way to use up all of that garden zucchini! I use a 9-inch deep dish pie plate to bake this, but any type of casserole dish would work.

Blueberry-Cabbage Detox Smoothie

This easy citrus-berry detox smoothie is full of vitamin C, anti-inflammatory flavonoids (such as anthocyanins), and detoxification compounds (such as sulforaphane from the cabbage). Drinking this smoothie for a few days in a row can begin to dampen down inflammation, giving you more energy and clarity! If you are needing a cleansing smoothie for breakfast, add a few scoops of amino acid powder, collagen peptides, or your favorite protein powder to make this smoothie into a meal.

Fish and Fennel Stew

This is one of my go-to recipes when I need a quick meal for lunch or dinner! I prefer to use wild cod in this recipe, but other types of white-fleshed fish work well too, such as halibut or haddock. The tomatoes, olive oil, and cold-water fish make for an excellent anti-inflammatory and heart-healthy meal!

Turmeric-Ginger Chicken Vegetable Soup

Although chicken soup made from a whole chicken can take some time to cook, the end result is a richly flavored, nutrient-dense broth full of high-quality protein and vegetables. Fresh ginger and fresh turmeric flavor the broth and add powerful anti-inflammatory phytonutrients. Red potatoes and carrots provide an abundance of antioxidants. Onions, garlic, and leeks provide a rich source of thiols, which support detox pathways in the body and reduce oxidative stress. Chicken soup is medicine!

Gluten-Free Maple Raspberry Scones

Enjoy these perfect little gluten-free and vegan scones during berry season! They are the perfect way to use up some of those freshly picked berries. You may also use frozen berries, just make sure to partially thaw them first! Replace the raspberries with fresh blackberries, black raspberries, diced fresh peaches, or blueberries if desired. With the added moisture from the berries and maple syrup I have made them into “drop” scones, a method that is much easier and quicker to prepare.

Use it with your favorite tart filling recipes or fill it with my dairy-free dark chocolate tart filling recipe! Be sure to use the Superfine Flours in gluten-free pastry recipes. Regular stone-ground flours won't work here.

Pear Pomegranate Salad with Orange Vinaigrette

This salad is a wonderful addition to a Holiday meal, and it can be prepped ahead of time! To prep this salad ahead of serving, first make the dressing and store it in a tightly sealed glass jar in the fridge. You'll need to bring it to room temp before dressing the salad as the olive oil will harden slightly in the fridge. Prep the pomegranate by removing the arils (beautiful juicy red seeds) and storing them in a covered container in the fridge. Toast the pecans, cool them, and store in a sealed container on the counter.

Anti-Inflammatory Fennel-Cilantro Green Smoothie

Fresh fennel is a powerhouse of anti-inflammatory phytonutrients such as anethole, rutin, and quercetin. Anethole, for example, works at the genetic level by down-regulating an inflammation triggering molecule called NF-kB. Fresh fennel is also a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. Enjoy this antioxidant-rich smoothie for breakfast or a late afternoon snack!
