The other day I finished my binder of recipes that are all grain-free, unless I think I can substitute something like almond flour, coconut flour, or tapioca flour for what's in the given recipe. After finishing that job, I've gone through the binder and yesterday selected an interesting looking chicken recipe. There was no flour of any kind in it, but lots of onion and bell peppers and herbs. It was delicious! (The chicken was one of the organic Smart Chickens.)
I went to New Leaf Market in Capitola and bought grass-fed/finished ground round. You're supposed to cook it at a lower temperature and be careful to not overcook grass-fed/finished beef. (I learned that from reading a number of websites written by the ranchers who raise the 100% grass fed/finished beef.) I also bought a lot of organic local vegetables. Now I can make the mock mashed potatoes that use cauliflower and zucchini "hash browns". It's good to find healthy substitutes for potatoes which don't drive my blood glucose up!
Last night dessert was sliced local organic strawberries with organic cream. What could be better than that! So much that is healthy (and safe) for me to eat isn't that difficult.
Tomorrow I'll go to the local farmers' market to see what other wonderful organic summer foods I can find. Peaches or apricots would be nice! I have some good recipes for tarts with almond flour crusts that would be great filled with fresh peaches or apricots!
More later!
