Turkey Tetrazzini (gluten-free + lactose-free)

Turkey tetrazzini is a great way to make use of the leftover meat from a whole roasted turkey! This recipe can also be made with leftover cooked chicken in place of the turkey. Tetrazzini recipes typically contain milk, cream, and sour cream, however, my version uses turkey stock, cashew milk, and sweet rice flour instead.

Lily's Lemongrass Soup

My daughter, Lily, created this recipe when she was 4 ½ years old. She has been cooking in the kitchen with me ever since she was a baby and now creates her own recipes. She did all of the cutting and preparing for this soup, adding all ingredients of her choice, with no input from me. My younger daughter, Grace, was standing next to Lily on a stool while she was cooking this and decided to add some cooked rice to the soup. After refining the recipe I added the soup stock, garlic, and kaffir lime leaves. This soup has now become a regular part of our family’s meal plans!

Miso Soup

Miso is a thick paste and is made by fermenting cooked soybeans, koji, sea salt, and different grains for six months to two years. It is a live food and contains significant amounts of friendly bacteria that promote intestinal health. It is important to not cook the miso for this reason but rather to add it to already cooked foods. Consuming miso helps to create an alkaline condition in the body, promoting resistance against disease. The salty flavor of miso stimulates digestion, which is why it has been a traditional breakfast food in Japan for centuries.

Lemon-Thyme Poached Chicken Breasts

Poached chicken is a great ingredient to have in your fridge so a handful of meals are always quick to prepare throughout the week. Add it to salads, wraps, soups, casseroles, quesadillas, the possibilities are endless! Once it is cooked, the chicken can be sliced, cubed, or shredded, depending on how you will use it. The ingredients for this are really quite flexible. I always like to at least add some aromatics and herbs such as garlic, shallots, onions, or leeks and thyme, rosemary, oregano, or bay leaves. It is up to you and what you have on hand in your pantry.

Seared Scallops with Lemongrass and Coconut

Scallops are quick to prepare at home and simple to make when you know a few tricks. The goal is to quickly sear the first side of the scallop in a very hot skillet, flip and quickly cook the second side. You will likely not get a nice sear on the second side, as you have to be careful to not overcook the scallops and make them tough. The scallop should still feel soft when pressed on with your finger, and the inside should be creamy and just barely translucent.

Pecan Crusted Chicken and Apple Salad

This nourishing salad can be served as a main dish. Use a head of lettuce or use a bag of mixed organic greens. Serve with Roasted Delicata Squash for a complete meal. My children like to have the chicken on the side of their salad so I keep it all separate and assemble each plate individually.

Quinoa, Chickpea, and Tomato Soup

This soup comes together quickly, especially if you have leftover cooked quinoa and chickpeas needing to be used up. A flavorful homemade poultry stock or vegetable stock can make all the difference in this recipe; if you don't have any homemade stock on hand then look for a good organic store bought chicken or vegetable broth.

Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup (Phở Gà)

Vietnamese chicken noodle soup, or Phở Gà (pronounced Fuh), is a deeply flavored broth with wide rice noodles and chicken, topped with fresh herbs. The key to perfectly cooked chicken is to bring it to a boil to skim off any scum, and then lower the heat to a very gentle low simmer to cook the chicken "low and slow" in order to create very tender meat. Smaller chickens will need less time. Be careful not to overcook the chicken or it becomes pasty and stringy. However, not allowing it to cook long enough does not allow the flavors in the broth to develop.

Oatmeal Blender Brownies

When you are craving a chocolate treat but don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, make blender brownies! The combination of the oats and flaxseeds creates a lovely and gooey egg-free and gluten-free brownie that everyone can enjoy. Serve with vanilla coconut ice cream and fresh raspberries for a special birthday treat! Oats are high in compounds called beta-glucans. These pre-biotic compounds feed beneficial gut microbes that then increase production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

Massaged Kale Salad

Kale can be served cooked or raw and is packed with nutrition. It can be a little tough and slightly bitter when served raw, but massaging it will help to break down the fiber and tenderize the leaves. Make a batch or two of massaged kale over the weekend and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to use throughout the week. Add it to salads or grain bowls or eat it with Fried or Scrambled Eggs for Breakfast.

Bok Choy, Black Rice, and Ginger Stir Fry

Serve this simple recipe with baked salmon, baked chicken breasts, or with a large green salad as a main dish. The key to a good stir-fry is to use cold or room temperature cooked rice. I usually make this recipe with whatever leftover rice we have, but black rice is my favorite!

Serve this refreshing salad as a light lunch by itself, or top it with seared chicken for a more substantial meal. Raw buckwheat groats cook fast.

You'll need to cook 1½ cups of raw buckwheat groats for this recipe.

Rosemary Lemon Roasted Salmon

The key to roasting salmon so it is juicy and tender is to slightly undercook it! You'll want to take it out of the oven when it is still a little pink inside as it will continue to cook once out of the oven.

Healthy Hamburger Helper

This is a healthier spin off of a traditional American recipe! I use homemade cashew milk, which not only creates a lactose-free version but also makes the final dish extra creamy. My children's friends have all enjoyed this recipe, even those who don't regularly eat kale!
