Recipes are coded to note what
BASIC food intolerance categories
are used.
REFER TO THE FOOD SUBSTITUTIONS LIST FOR ALTERNATIVE INGREDIENTS..
and THE FOOD RESOURCE LIST to be sure the products you are using are safe for you.
Most ingredients can usually be substituted.
Following are the codes used for the recipes. It is the same key used for
THE FOOD RESOURCE LIST
and FOOD SUBSTITUTIONS LIST :
NOTE: A BLANK SPACE NEXT TO AN INGREDIENT MEANS
IT IS "NEUTRAL."

 

 

KEY FOR CODES
D =
Dairy

Important HINTS:

* Western Family Baking Soda is neutral. Other brands may contain potato.

* Ground cloves usually contain fruit. Whole clove is neutral.

* If using bottled vanilla, look to see what solution it is in. If in alcohol, then it will most likely evaluate positive for grain. If in glycerin, then it is either fruit or meat.

*It is suggested to use Celtic salt in all recipes, as it is neutral.

* Yeast is coded "P or S" - Refer to The Food Resource List for the different yeasts and what they analyzed positive for.

* Do not be afraid to use a recipe just because it may contain your food intolerance. All you need to do is to refer to The FOOD SUBSTITUTIONS LIST for alternatives.

Our goal is to help you become familiar with various ingredients so that you are able to easily adapt recipes to fit your needs.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH BAKED CRANBERRIES GARNISH

(By Sandra Strom, CEO of Song of Health)

There are numerous recipes for Butternut Squash soup. This is a version of mine. I encourage you to take a recipe and experiment with it, to adapt to your own tastes and requirements!

FOOD CATEGORY
INGREDIENTS
1/2 butternut squash
2-3 cloves garlic
4 cups water
1/4 tsp. of coarse Celtic salt (or your choice of salt, to taste)
D or
F (or?)
2 Tbsp. butter or
olive oil (or substitute)
1/4 tsp. fresh grated or ground ginger root
1 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, finely chopped
D or
?
1/4 cup cream, half and half or
substitute
F
baked cranberries as garnish*

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

*To make Baked Cranberries:
In a baking dish place 1 cup fresh cranberries (F) that have been washed and drained.
Add enough orange juice (F) to cover the berries.
Mix in 1 Tbsp. lemon juice (F).
Drizzle honey (H) or organic pure maple syrup over the berries, approximately 1/3 cup.
Place in oven and bake 20 minutes. Check for liquid. If more is needed, as water. Bake until cranberries are tender (the skins have opened), approximately 10 minutes more.
Taste test for correct tart/sweetness and adjust if necessary.
Take from oven and set aside.

SOUP:
Remove seeds from squash. Cut in approximately 2 inch square pieces.
Smash garlic cloves with side of knife. Remove skins. Chop in quarters.
Place squash, garlic, water, salt, and butter or oil in a saucepan. If using fresh ginger root, add now. Bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer. Cook just until squash is tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
In a food processor, place saucepan contents, cilantro, and ground ginger if using. Process until smooth. Return to saucepan. Gently stir in cream.
Slowly heat on simmer, careful not to allow soup to come to a boil. It is being heated just enough to serve hot.
Place soup in serving bowls. Garnish with spoonful of cranberries, making sure to include a little of the "sauce."
Serve immediately.
Yield: 2 servings

VEGETARIAN STEW
(By Sandra Strom, CEO Song of Health)

 

FOOD CATEGORY
INGREDIENTS
F or
N or
D
¼ cup olive oil or
safflower oil or
butter
(or combination of)
5-7 cloves garlic (depending on personal taste), diced*
2 stalks celery, chopped in ½ pieces
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 tsp. fresh mixed herbs (rosemary, cilantro, savory, sweet basil, oregano, parsley or thyme may be used in combination)
Sy
1 Tbsp. Miso (Light is best but red is ok) (optional)
2 quarts water
N or

P
2 yucca roots, peeled and cut in 1 inch cubes or
2 russet potatoes
½ package baby carrots or 3 long carrots cut in ½-inch pieces
Other roots, such as rutabaga (optional)
1 Delicata squash or other winter squash, cut in 1-inch pieces (Delicata does not need to be peeled. Peel all other squashes.)
G
1 cup hominy or corn
G
¼ cup rice or wheat flour

 

In Dutch oven or big pot heat the oil on medium heat. If using butter, once it is melted carefully skim the fat from the top, leaving just the oil of the butter. (Hint: Not only is this healthier for you, it will prevent the butter from burning.)
Add garlic, celery, onion, and herbs. Sauté until soft, stirring often to keep from burning.
Add Miso and stir in. Add water and bring to a boil, stirring just until Miso is dissolved.
Add remainder of vegetables except for the hominy or corn.
More water may need to be added in order to cover the vegetables. Turn burner down and simmer for about 1 hour or until vegetables are tender. Add the corn or hominy at the last minute, just to heat through.
When stew is done, it may be thickened by:
In a quart jar add 1 cup water, then flour.
Cover with lid and shake until smooth and there are no lumps.
Slowly add to stew, constantly stirring with wooden spoon, until mixed evenly in stew.
On very low heat allow to steep, stirring often to keep from burning, until stew is thickened and does not taste like raw flour.
Serve with biscuits (G), if desired.
Serves 4.
*Note: Once garlic is diced, use side of knife to press it in order to release the full flavor. The garlic may also be cut with the topside of the knife (turn the knife upside down), which “crushes” the garlic instead of cutting it.
VARIATION: Add 4 large mushrooms sliced, along with vegetables.

 

VARIATION: MEAT STEW

 

FOOD CATEGORY
INGREDIENTS
M
1/2-1 lb. (personal choice) chuck steak
1/4 lb. mushrooms

 

Cube meat in 1 inch pieces.
Follow above recipe for Vegetable Stew, but add meat to oil first, quickly searing.
Now continue with Vegetable Stew recipe.
