GLADYS’S IRISH STEW – Gluten-free Recipe

Nancy Addison — Wed, 16 Mar 2022 18:33:27 +0000

I co-authored “Alive and Cooking” with my friend Maryann De Leo. Half of the book is recipes and the other half is health, nutrition, and lifestyle information for older adults and people taking care of elderly parents.

Maryann’s dear friend Chris’s mother (Gladys) was known for her delicious Irish stew. This is an easy gluten-free recipe that makes about 4 to 6 servings. You can substitute chopped mushrooms for the beef and make it vegetarian/vegan. I thought this might be something you can prepare for Saint Patrick’s Day, if you celebrate that.

Ingredients:

1 1⁄2 lb. organic grass-fed, humanely raised chuck beef

2 T. organic, pure, unprocessed coconut oil

2 1⁄2 cups tomato sauce

2 1⁄2 c. high-quality water with no chemicals

3 large potatoes

2 medium red onions

3 carrots, sliced

Sprig of parsley for garnish (optional)

Mineral-rich salt to taste

Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cut chuck beef into cubes.

2. Heat oil in a pot and add the beef cubes.

3. Brown beef on all sides.

4. Drain off oil/grease.

5. Add tomato sauce and water.

6. When meat is almost cooked, add potatoes, onions, carrots, salt, and pepper, and cook until tender.

7. Serve warm with sprigs of parsley to garnish (optional).

Variations:

1. Substitute potatoes with color, like purple or red-skinned, or golden for white potatoes.

2. I substituted pure, extra-virgin, organic coconut oil for the vegetable oil she had in her recipe, for a healthier stew.

NOTE:

1. You can substitute sliced mushrooms for the beef to make it vegetarian.

2. ALWAYS buy pure organic coconut oil.
Avoid any type of “Fractionated” Coconut oil. It is a Trans-Fat and is TERRIBLE for your health. It is sold as a liquid and many people use it for their essential oils mixer oil.
I would recommend NEVER USING it for ANYTHING!

Happy Love Day! Raspberry Muffin Recipe – Gluten-free

Nancy Addison — Mon, 14 Feb 2022 15:10:59 +0000

Thoughtful gifts, fragrant flowers, and dinner dates are all great, and they mean a lot… but true LOVE is what really matters.

The best gift we can ever give someone is being truly present for them, which means listening with our hearts as well as our ears.
This means connecting with peaceful, deep, love-filled presence of compassion and understanding. When we are truly present, we are truly able to listen with our hearts.

So today (and every day), give the gift of being truly present for those you love, in addition to whatever else you have planned.

There is so much love to share, experience and celebrate!
In the spirit of Love,
I am sharing one of my favorite recipes with you.

Raspberry Muffin Recipe

On my family’s special occasion days, I would make them these scrumptious muffins! This is one of our absolute favorite breakfasts. Making them is easy, and they are delicious.

I frequently double or even triple this recipe, because they always want more! They are vegetarian and gluten-free. This recipe makes 6 to 12 muffins.

Ingredients:

1 c. organic, sprouted garbanzo bean or oat flour (or a whole-sprouted-grain flour of choice)
1 c. organic, non-GMO whole yellow or blue corn flour (see notes below)
1 c. fresh organic raspberries
2 T. organic ghee or butter (melted)
3 T. organic pure coconut oil (melted)
½ cup organic plain yogurt (coconut will work fine)
½ tsp. unrefined sea salt
½ c. fine-grain date or coconut sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1 organic egg
½ cup organic orange juice
¼ tsp. organic grated orange rind

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Use one of the tablespoons of coconut oil to grease the 12 large muffin cups. (Frequently I put a little greased parchment paper to line the bottom of the cups. This keeps the bottom smooth when removing the muffin from the cup.)
3. In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar) well.
4. In another mixing bowl, combine the egg, melted butter or ghee, melted coconut oil, yogurt, orange juice, and orange rind. Mix well.
5. Pour the wet ingredient combination into the middle of the dry ingredients, making a kind of well in the center. Then blend quickly.
6. Gently add the raspberries and fold them in. Don’t over mix.
7. Pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Fill them about half full.
8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the altitude and the size of your muffin cups. The muffins should be a toasty color when ready.
9. Serve warm with butter or ghee.

Notes:

1. You can use frozen berries. They don’t taste quite as good as fresh, but please make sure to defrost them and drain off any juice before adding them.

2. You can purchase sprouted flours, like garbanzo bean, buckwheat and spelt, at healthy grocery stores. If you can’t find them, you can order them from Blue Mountain Organics.

3. You can use certified organic blue cornmeal. It will have 30% more protein and is
low in carbohydrates. Blue corn has deep blue-purple color rich with anthocyanins and high antioxidants. Blue corn is beneficial as anti-diabetic and anti-cancer. The muffins will be blue if you use this cornmeal.

3. This raspberry muffin recipe is taken from the best-selling, award-winning cookbook/ nutrition book “Raising Healthy Children” by Nancy Addison.
