A FAMILY TRADITION ENDURES AND HEALTHFUL EGGNOG
My husband, Dean, has made gingerbread houses for the grandkids to decorate since they were very small (the oldest just turned 20). They were pleased that he was able to continue the tradition this year despite his recent hospital stay. I made hot chocolate for the kids but Dean doesn’t like hot drinks, so I made eggnog for him. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that sooner! I haven’t been able to persuade him to join me in my morning regimen of Butter…
CAN COCONUT KETONES PREVENT AND TREAT ALZHEIMER’S?
A Personal Story: A close relative called me recently to tell me that her husband had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and was rapidly getting worse. His doctor told them there was no cure and recommended he take Aricept, a drug that he said would not stop the progression of the disease, but might help him function slightly better than he would without it. The prescription was very expensive and she asked if I knew anything about it and if I thought it was worth…
AFTER BREAD
ALMOND CRISPS “Your health and likely your lifespan will be determined by the proportion of fat versus sugar you burn over a lifetime.”–Dr. Ron Rosedale When Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt (www.dietdoctor.com) asked his followers what one food they missed the most while following his low-carb/high-fat regimen, bread topped the list by a wide margin! Beer, often called “liquid bread,” came in third, pizza and pasta, which are just bread by other names, took fourth and fifth place and chips were number six. Sweets were the second…
RASPBERRY FROZEN YOGURT
A delicious frozen treat that can be ready in an flash! Sugar-free and low-carb. Three years ago we planted three dwarf, thornless raspberry bushes. They were a new variety called Raspberry Shortcake™. We had a lot of rain this spring and the bushes exploded with big, sweet berries. We have eaten a lot more than we should have, given them away, frozen them, and made pies, but they keep coming. The good news is, we will have enough for many future batches of my new…
CADDIE GANTY
One of my favorite fish dishes! Simple and easy to make, low in carbs, gluten and grain free. CADDIE GANTY The wife of a fish packer in Pelican Alaska is credited with creating this dish in the 1920s. Her name was Caddie Ganty. This version is based on one from the Gustavus Inn where we stopped over on our way to Glacier Bay National Park a few years ago. Ingredients: 2 lbs fresh, skinless halibut fillets or other firm, white fish, at least 1-inch thick,…
ETON MESS (STRAWBERRY MERINGUE DESSERT)
“Eton Mess” is one of those silly names the English have for homey dishes, like Toad in a Hole (sausages cooked in popover batter), Bubble and Squeak (fried mashed potatoes with cabbage), Spotted Dick (boiled pudding with raisins), and Wet Nelly (bread pudding). One story says the name originated at Eton college when a dog sat on a picnic basket that contained a strawberry meringue cake. The resulting mess was so delicious, they’ve been squashing them ever since. ETON MESS Try this with cooked rhubarb or a mixture of rhubarb and strawberries…
