So I haven't been cooking the usual foods lately... I am doing a bit of a detox and am not allowed grains, meat, dairy, sugar, hydrogenated oils..... I don't find too much of it a challenge.. except no grains! And no meat or chicken leaves me quite hungry all the time! I am allowed SOME eggs, as I am not supposed to lose weight, and they help bulk up a meal a little.
http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/node/17448 and they are good to just have a little snack here and there.
CADA has also been good (Coconuts, Almonds, Dates and a Green Apple all turbo-ed a couple of times in the Thermomix), as well as lots of soup with the Thermomix Vege Stock!
But having a look through the Gluten Free Wheat Free Cookbook, I came across the Banana Blueberry bread. Seeing as it was made on buckwheat flour (which is technically NOT a grain!) and mostly banana and blueberries with raw honey or pure maple syrup, and macadamia nut oil, I decided I could treat myself to this.
I found that it had a few too many blueberries in it - I would usually add less. But the rest was good, and I ground the buckwheat myself seeing as there was some in the cupboard.
Disclaimer:
I don't claim to be an expert cook. Or a fancy cook. In fact, I never used to really enjoy cooking. So this is mostly about low fuss, filling and tasty meals, and really just anything I have a go at and decide to share along the way!! My top priority is avoiding additives and preservatives wherever possible closely followed by using whole/less processed/healthier ingredients. But for those who would like conventional options that are quick tasty and cost effective, I would like to share tips on all of these as well!!
