  Description EAT BEAUTIFUL: Grain-free, Sugar-free and Loving It is a cookbook for feasting, even while on a healing or refined-sugar-free diet. With GAPS, Paleo, AIP, Anti-candida and Weston A. Price diets as inspiration, this cookbook is about enjoying the beauty of whole foods, not feeling deprived. After all, local fruit grown in season, fair trade cocoa, raw honey, pure maple syrup, sprouted nuts~ these are beautiful foods! Serving up a new grain-free baking technique as well as encouragement, Megan loves baked goods and other treats that round out the healing qualities of bone broth soup and fermented foods. This cookbook is also for any cook who'd like healthier versions of classic baked goods-- maple syrup chocolate ganache, honey-sweetened ice cream, stevia-sweetened waffles (that don't taste like stevia) and more. Enjoy: feasting and healthy whole foods go together!   Review One of the things that I have more and more trouble with is providing foods tha...

This weeks secret ingredient is Rice.   The only ones that I have used are from AllRecipes.com .  My family had never been big on cooking rice when I was growing up, so I don't have any that were passed down like I had from last weeks recipes.  Each recipe from AllRecipes.com was submitted to that site.  So I even included who submitted them to that site to give those people credit.   Risotto alla Milanese submitted by Manuela   INGREDIENTS 1 3/4 cups uncooked Arborio rice 1/2 cup unsalted butter, divided 1 1/2 quarts beef stock 3 tablespoons beef marrow 1 onion, thinly sliced 1 teaspoon saffron powder 3/4 cup dry white wine salt to taste 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese DIRECTIONS Melt half of the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.

This was the recipe that I made on Thanksgiving for Corn Casserole. A coworker had given it to me. Corn Casserole 1 stick butter (melted) 2 eggs 2 boxes Jiffy corn bread mix 2 cans cream corn 2 cans whole kernel corn (drained) 16 oz, container of sour cream Mix all ingredients together & pour into a large rectanguler dish (at least 11" x 13"). The casserole will rise when cooking so be sure to not put it in a dish where it is to the top because it will overflow. Also don't forget to spray the pan before you pour in the mixture. Preheat oven to 350 & cook 45 minutes to an hour uncovered. Serve & Enjoy!

Ok I am not sure if there is already a meme out there like this or not. I was thinking about starting a meme up. It will sort of be like Iron Chef of America. But without the competition. Each week, I would post the secret ingredient. Everyone would then have to post 5 recipes using that secret ingredient. I thought it might be neat to see how ingredients are used in other countries and get some yummy recipe ideas. Anyone interested?
