Gluten Free Pizza and Avocado Ice Cream!


Stopped at the health food store on the way home from work tonight and picked up some wonderful gluten free pizza dough. From what I understand gluten free also digests like a vegetable just like sprouted... is this correct? I must research this further... The man at the store said that gluten free products digest like vegetables. He asked me if I was moving away from a flour based diet... and I said... I wasn't sure what I was doing yet but I was definately incorporating more sprouted products into my diet. We talked about flour and how it is very binding and clogs up your digestive system... just like GLUE! Flour and water together are the same things we used to make paste in kindergarden, remember?

At any rate I am thrilled and excited to make this gluten free pizza on Friday! I also picked up some organic succutant, some more sprouted spelt and sprouted spring wheat flours,an additional bag of sprouted poppy seed bagels, and these mind blowing vegan spice bars... I have to find out how they were made- OUTRAGEOUSLY DELICIOUS! 

For dinner tonight we had a delicious bowl of chicken pot-au-feu. It was light, airy, and very filling! Recipe is found on page 89 of the food network magazine in the Jan/Feb 2010 issue.

Dessert was a bowl of banana avocado icecream topped with agave nectar chocolate sauce!!!

Banana Avocado Ice Cream
3 frozen bananas
1/2 avocado
1 dash of organic vanilla extract
3 soaked dates

Process in food processor until smooth and creamy. Serve in a small beautiful china bowl and top with agave nectar chocolate syrup... (make this by swirling two tablespoons agave nectar in a small bowl with a nice big dash of dark organic cocoa, thin with a teeny bit of water, swirl with spoon and drizzle over ice cream). AHHHHHH!!! SOOO GOOD!! and so good for you!  ;)

Pizza Friday....


I'm going to maybe try to make sprouted pizza this Friday... Stopping by the health food store to pick up some sprouted pizza dough mix, but just in case they don't have any... (update: they had some!) I will post the results of my concoction on Saturday in a new post!

This looks like a FABULOUS TOPPING that I found here but I am going to modify it to eliminate the white sugar and use organic sucanant, also I am going to make raw cheese out of nuts as in this recipe here.

Pear Walnut Topping

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 firm pears, sliced
  • ½ red onion, sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoon sucanat
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 3 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup feta cheese
Saute pears on medium high heat in a large pan until browned, add onions, sucanat and sugar, cook. Turn off heat and mix in walnuts. Let cool slightly before arranging on dough, top with cheeses.

Another great raw recipe...

You might have 30-60lbs of fecal matter in your intestines!! WHAT?! EW!

WOW! They did an autopsy on John Wayne and found over 75lbs of fecal matter inside him! Elvis? 35lbs of poo. Yep. Most people walk around with 30-60lbs of fecal matter rotting inside them... why? Meat and Dairy in the diet... Check this series of videos out...
