I wasn't a kale fan until I tried these, which are an easy way to eat a lot of greens! They're a little fiddly the first time you make them, but once you figure out the quantities and timings for your oven or microwave, they're definitely low effort.

Ingredients:
big heap of kale (I had about 5 cups, initially, ripped up)
1 tbsp garlic olive oil (or regular olive oil)
sprinkle of salt
several grinds of black pepper
¼ tsp MSG or 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
a squeeze of lemon juice

There are loads of bread alternatives out there for people eating keto, but what about noodles? I'm talking about noodles for Asian cooking, or for spaghetti, beef stroganoff, whatever.

So this is about konjac (also called shiratake) noodles - noodles made from the naturally occurring konjac yam (also called Devil's Tongue and you can see why!)

It's another raw recipe! I refined this from many web searches. Some mentioned a 15% vinegar (three times as sour as standard US) which is why I added the sour salt (on hand for hot and sour soup).

Ingredients

1 English cucumber
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh herbs
2 Tbsp white sugar
4 Tbsp white vinegar
1/8 tsp sour salt (citric acid)
1 Tbs (to taste) kosher salt

bake 20 min
cool 10 min

Serve hot to enjoy the crunchy crust. Goes stale quickly: reheat next day and smother with great jam. Give to the birds on day 3.

  • 5ml (1 tsp) cumin powder
  • 1ml (1/4 tsp) clove powder

  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) red port

Ketchup is easy and fun!

This is something for any Kiwis following the comm, and I think they may be based in Aussie as well, maybe? Anyway, they mailorder. 

Crumpets may not be well known in America being more of a British thing, but they're one of my absolute fave winter treats. When I was a kid there was a nearby bakery that made (non GF of course) excellently thick, chewy/crisp crumpets - the square-shaped ones, but in recent years all the supermarkets seem to sell is lighter-weight, less stodgy (and to me, less satisfying) (and of course, still non-GF) ones, mostly circular, but sometimes square. Smaller than the crumpets of old, though. 

Then I was randomnly searching the internets for GF crumpets, like you do, and I discovered this LOCAL Christchurch company that makes GF crumpets. https://liberate-foods-nz.myshopify.com/

I've had a couple of deliveries so far, and they're the stodgy, delicious, square crumpets of my childhood, in spades! 

Preferences for what to have on crumpets vary, but for me it has to be butter and honey, every time. YUM. Highly recommended! 

The only problem is how fast I eat them once a parcel arrives. And one time the idiot courier guy left them at my neighbour's, which was briefly worrying, but the yumminess was eventually retrieved. 

Seriously, if you can access these, give them a try. With butter and honey, of course!  You toast them (I don't have a toaster but I brown them a little on both sides in a dry non-stick pan).

These breakfast cookies are made with powdered peanut butter (also known as peanut flour) which makes them lower in fat than traditional peanut butter cookies. They're also hearty and delicious, with a firm, chewy texture. Or skip the oven and eat the dough raw.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups rolled oats or quick oats
3/4 cup powdered peanut butter, packed
2 tablespoons chia, hemp seeds, or flax meal
1/4 teaspoon fine salt, heaping
1/4 cup neutral flavored oil
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons water
2/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)

My quest for the perfect blueberry muffin continues. These almond flour muffins from Gluten-Free Goddess are nice and hefty, but have a tender crumb, and a sweet, whole grain taste that's reminiscent of graham crackers. They're full to the brim with blueberries, and bake up with a beautiful dome and a golden crust.

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cups almond flour (145 g)
1 cup sorghum flour (130 g) or oat flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch (70 g) or potato starch
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum

1 1/3 cups brown sugar, packed (185 g)
2 tablespoons oil (20 g)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup liquid, could be milk (any kind!), juice, or water (more as needed, up to 3/4 cup)

2 cups blueberries, fresh (rinsed and patted dry) or frozen (defrosted, rinsed, and drained) ~300 grams
