In order to survive our months on the Body Ecology regime, occasional gluten and sugar free baked goods were like a life preserver. Or perhaps more like a nice warm, snuggly blanky. I feel pretty good about the healthful qualities of this recipe since I soak the flours (why?) and use not just one, but two, veggies in it. Totally legit, right? Those of you not doing some sort of crazy diet might be tempted to skip to the next page at my mention of gluten & sugar free. That would be a mistake, my friends. Oh yes.

Red Chile Sauce
This is a tasty way to spice up all kinds of things. Because I use apple cider vinegar, I think even those on the Body Ecology Diet can use it– a joyous addition if you’re feeling deprived.
Blue Corn Bread with Anaheim Chilies
In honor of the Superbowl, I made this gluten-free cornbread with blue corn meal and teff flour. It turned out so much better than expected! Perfect, light & tasty. Not all gluten-free experiments turn out this well the first time around. SCORE!
Roasted Veggies
This easy dish is classic winter comfort food for me. Quantities below are purely negotiable. Increase or decrease anything to your taste. A few years ago, you would never see something so insane as a brussels sprout in any of my recipes. I still clearly remember dinner table stalemates between me and a not to be named former step-parent over those sinister tiny cabbages. However, now that I control the cooking methods, no more plain boiling water treatment for these babies. Nope. Give them a good roasting and voila, no more stalemate. Only tasty, healthy goodness remains.
Cultured Veggies
OK, you caught me. Yes, “cultured veggies” are also known as sauerkraut, or fermented vegetables. But as someone who historically does not have warm, fuzzy feelings for the sauerkraut you get at restaurants or can buy at the grocery store, I’m telling you the homemade version is pretty awesome. And super good for you, chock full of the partying bacterial probiotics that give it the sour flavor (just like the ones many of us spend good money on from the health food store). But these friendly critters work hard for you, converting raw veggies into a distinctive, tasty dish. And then once you eat them, their work really begins as they populate your gut and kick out all kinds of nasties that you really don’t want to read about here. Continue reading
