Nacho cheese sauce:

• 3/4 cup diced potato

While the potatoes are roasting, add a couple of inches of water to a medium-sized pot and place a steaming basket in it. Add the diced potato and carrot, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until soft. Remove from heat and place in a blender. Add the turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, lemon juice and water to the blender and blend until very smooth.

To prepare the broccoli, add a couple of inches of water to a medium-sized pot and place a steaming basket in it. Add the broccoli florets, cover and cook for 6-8 minutes until soft. Remove from heat.

Enjoy these delicious donuts made with only clean ingredients, plus with the added nutrients and flavor that come from wild blueberries. These precious berries are an incredible healing food that add nutrients to this fun recipe.

Wild blueberries are one of the most adaptogenic foods on the planet. Wild blueberries enhance the intestinal tract, feeding good bacteria there, which benefits the liver greatly.

Wild Blueberry Donuts

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 2/3 cup coconut sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or light coconut milk
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract or vanilla powder
• 1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries

Blueberry glaze:

• 1/3 cup defrosted wild blueberries
• 1/2 cup cashews
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1-2 tbsp water, as needed to blend

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Lightly grease a 6-donut pan. Set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the oat flour, brown rice flour, coconut sugar, and baking powder. Set aside. In another bowl, combine the almond milk, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla. Whisk until you get a uniform mixture.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir until evenly mixed. The batter should be very thick–add a bit more oat flour if needed to reach this consistency. Gently fold the wild blueberries into the batter. Spoon or pipe the batter into the greased donut pan.

Bake for 16-20, until lightly browned on top and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the donut pan, then move to a wire rack and cool completely.

To make the glaze, add the blueberries, cashews, maple syrup, lemon juice, coconut oil, and wa-ter to a blender and blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Dip the donuts in the glaze one by one. Best enjoyed on the day of baking and kept in an airtight container until needed.

Estonian Stew

Share this post:

Tweet this Section

This rustic vegetable stew is delicious and warming. It’s the perfect nourishment for a cold night or when you want a bowl of simple, home-cooked comfort. This recipe comes from the Revised and Expanded Edition of Medical Medium.

Potatoes are antiviral, they’re antifungal and antibacterial, with nutritional cofactors and coenzymes plus bioactive compounds to keep you healthy and assist you with stress.

Mushrooms help reduce fungus, bacteria, and viruses in the intestinal tract and liver.

Carrots are a quick liver refueling source of glucose that’s attached to minerals and vitamins.

Onions have antimicrobial sulfur compounds that expel unfriendly pathogens from the liver.

Estonian Stew

Ingredients:

• 1 cup diced onions
• 1 cup chopped mushrooms (optional)
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 4 1/2 cups roughly chopped potatoes
• 2 1/2 cups Healing Broth (recipe on page 368) or water
• 3 cups roughly chopped cabbage
• 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh dill, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh parsley, roughly chopped

Directions:

Place a large ceramic non-stick pot on medium-high heat and add the onions, mushrooms (if using), and carrots. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onions and carrots start to soften, adding a spoonful of water if needed.

Pour in the Healing Broth or water, place the lid on, and bring to a simmer. Cook covered for 10 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are almost soft, and then remove the lid and cook for a further 5 minutes uncovered.

Add the chopped cabbage and stir until evenly mixed. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until the cabbage is soft. Remove from heat and stir in the dill and parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips:

When you’re choosing between water and Healing Broth for the ingredients, keep in mind that the broth will produce a richer flavor. Store-bought vegetable stock isn’t called for because it’s very difficult to find a variety that’s free of oil, salt, natural flavors, and/or other additives. For convenience, make a batch of Healing Broth in advance and freeze it (consider ice cube trays for easy thawing) so you have it on hand for recipes like this.

Makes 2 to 3 servings

Banana Lettuce Boats

Tweet this Section

A sweet snack or meal that is easy to make and fun to eat for both adults and children, these Banana Lettuce Boats are delicious with or without the Date Caramel Sauce. This recipe comes from the Revised and Expanded Edition of Medical Medium.

Bananas are a powerful antiviral food. High in tryptophan, bananas can help soothe sleep disorders, create calm, reduce anxiety, and alleviate depression. They are the ultimate fungus destroyers, removing unproductive bacteria while feeding beneficial microorganisms in the intestinal tract.

The leafy outer greens of lettuce provide dozens of micronutrients for the liver to stay healthy and balanced, while the core of the lettuce, down closer to the root, provides milky chemical compounds that act as a purging mechanism for it. When leafy greens are eaten with fruit, their medicinal qualities increase twofold.

Banana Lettuce Boats

Ingredients:

• 6 large leaves of butter leaf, red leaf, or romaine lettuce
• 3 bananas, sliced in half lengthwise
• 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne or cinnamon (optional)

DATE CARAMEL SAUCE (OPTIONAL)

• 6 medjool dates, pitted
• 5 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions:

Arrange the lettuce leaves on plates or on a platter. Top each with a banana half, raisins (if using), and an optional sprinkle of cayenne (or cinnamon). Set aside. To make the caramel, add the dates, water, and lemon juice to a blender and blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Spoon onto the Banana Lettuce Boats and serve immediately.

Tips:

• The Date Caramel Sauce is fantastic as a drizzle over other fruit-based snacks and meals, or use it as a dip for fruits such as apples, pears, strawberries, bananas, and more.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until thick and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

To make the base and topping, combine the oat flour, oats, coconut sugar and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the melted coconut oil and stir until the dough clumps together.

This fantastic carrot cake is all about the spices. Cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, cardamom, and cloves pair beautifully with the raisins, carrot, and walnuts for a full-flavored and delicious cake. Enjoy the carrot cake alone or top it with the cashew icing.

Carrots are a quick liver-refueling source of glucose that’s attached to minerals and vitamins. Ginger helps calm spasms in the liver and regulate liver heat. Cardamom increases bile production and brings life and beneficial, nontoxic heat back to stagnant, sluggish livers that have overheated for years and are now cooling down.

• 2 tbsp ground flaxseeds
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger

Cashew icing (optional):

• 3 tbsp maple sugar
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line a 9-inch brownie pan with non-stick parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseeds and water. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Add the almond milk, coconut oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla to the bowl. Whisk until uniform. In another bowl, add the oat flour, brown rice flour, chopped walnuts, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, and ground cloves. Whisk until uniform.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until you get a uniform batter. Stir in the grated carrots and raisins until evenly dispersed. Pour batter into prepared brownie pan and bake for 40-45 minutes until browned on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove and cool completely on a cooling rack.

To make the cashew icing, combine the soaked cashews, maple sugar, coconut milk, and lemon juice in a high-speed blender and blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add a bit of water if necessary to blend. Refrigerate until needed.

Chopped Salad

Share this post:

Tweet this Section

This pretty Chopped Salad looks beautiful and tastes delicious thanks to the brightly colored array of fresh fruits, leafy greens, herbs, and vegetables it showcases. It’s also easy to customize with your own favorite fresh produce picks. A fun way to serve this salad to others is as a build-your-own salad bar so each person can create their own style of chopped salad. This recipe comes from the Revised and Expanded Edition of Medical Medium.

Leafy greens create true alkalinity in the body systems, especially the lymphatic, which can become the most acidic system. Medical communities are unaware that alkalinity of the blood, organs, endocrine system, reproductive system, and central nervous system hinges completely on the lymphatic system being alkaline. Leafy greens help to expel, purge, and drain the lymphatic system of these toxins so that it can remain alkaline.

Cucumbers support digestion; they contain undiscovered coenzymes that will one day be called talafinns. Alongside enzymes that have been discovered by medical research (such as erepsin), talafinns help the body’s protein digestion process so you can get the most out of everything you eat.

The fruit acids in tomatoes help keep the gallbladder healthy, helping rid sludge from the gallbladder and even reduce gallstone size.

Chopped Salad

Ingredients:

• 4 to 6 cups chopped leafy greens (such as spring mix, arugula, lettuce, or kale)
• 2 cups chopped cucumber
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 2 cups chopped tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Atlantic dulse flakes (or more, to taste)
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2 medjool dates, finely chopped (optional)
• 1/2 avocado (optional)
• 1 cup chopped yellow, orange, and/or red bell peppers (optional)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped dill, basil, cilantro, thyme, and/or parsley (optional)

Directions:

Place the leafy greens, cucumber, green onions, tomatoes, Atlantic dulse flakes, orange juice, medjool dates (if using), avocado (if using), bell peppers (if using), and herbs (if using) in a large bowl.

Toss until evenly combined and serve immediately.

This gorgeous recipe lets the vibrant colors of the fruits speak for themselves. Any fresh fruits of your choice can be used; simply layer them on top of each other and dig in! This recipe comes from the Revised and Expanded Edition of Medical Medium.

When someone’s intestinal tract is nervy from inflamed nerves caused by troublemakers all along the gut lining, papaya soothes those nerves, allowing inflammation to reduce. This improves the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream to head up to the liver.

Mangoes have a unique phytochemical compound that helps the liver’s immune system destroy the pockets of bacteria that create liver abscesses. They help prevent your liver from aging and cells from dying while improving bile production.

Kiwis’ fruit acid has a dissolving effect on gallstones unlike any other. It creates divots and pits inside the stones, weakening them so they can break apart.

Layered Fruit Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups chopped Maradol papaya
• 2 cups chopped strawberries
• 2 cups diced mango or pineapple
• 2 cups blueberries
• 2 cups chopped kiwi
• Juice from 1/2 lime

Directions:

Layer the chopped fruit in a medium-sized glass bowl. Squeeze lime juice over the top and serve.

Sesame seed fans will love these cookies! Made with tahini (sesame seed butter) and rolled in sesame seeds that toast until golden when baking, these cookies taste amazing and pair beautifully with a cup of your favorite herbal tea.

Sesame seeds strengthen the central nervous system while providing amino acids such as tyrosine and lysine in highly bioavailable trace forms that easily enter and uptake into the thyroid to improve the gland’s function and suppress Epstein-Barr virus, which is responsible for most thyroid issues.
