Bulletproof Submarinos

AIP Submarinos This is like watching a lava lamp! Submarinos (submarines) are a familiar, comforting drink in Argentina where I lived as a Mormon missionary way back when. You just drop a long piece of chocolate into hot milk and watch the "submarine" melt. This is like that. Put the kettle on and bring water to a boil. Fill a clear glass mug three-quarters full with the boiling water. Plop in a cube of Gee Fudge. After you stare at the melting stalagmites raising to the surface, stir and drink (add non-dairy milk if you want). OR pour into a blender, and blend until frothy. Original recipe comes from eat play crush (Mary, the Paleo Chef) . She calls it Phat Fudge. This AIP friendly version comes from Real Food with Dana.com HOW TO EAT IT: as is from fridge/freezer OR blend it into your morning hot drink (tea or coffee-substitute) 1/2 C ghee (or coconut oil) 1/2 C sunflower seed butter OR coconut butter 1-2 TBL raw honey 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 TBL turmeric 1/2

How to Freeze Avocados to Use in Smoothies

                                              How to Freeze Avocados to Use in Smoothies We add an avocado to our daily smoothies, but it's nearly impossible to have a "just right" ripe avocado every day since they go bad quickly. Sometimes we only needed half an avocado. Here's a simple way: a smooth purée. For every avocado you need 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and it keeps its bright green color if you purée it rather than mash it like you would for guacamole. Each avocado = 3/4 cup purée (12 tablespoons). Sometimes I will make a big batch, like 18 avocados, so I need over 1 cup lemon juice for that quantity of purée (4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup). Now it's easy to have that daily avocado! 6 avocados, ripe 6 TBL lemon juice, fresh-squeezed 6 sandwich-sized zip-loc plastic bags  1 ice-cream scoop that measures 1/4-cup servings 1 large tray Wash avocados. Make a cut around each avocado starting at the stem end, and cut all the way around. Twist to

Salmon with Sorrel & Lovage

Salmon with Sorrel & Lovage Serves 2 Sorrel and lovage shoot out of the ground practically screaming, "Spring!" I was in the mood for poached salmon today. Yesterday I harvested the last of the French sorrel, washed it and bagged it until I figured out more recipes to use it in, and then I saw that the lovage seemed to have sprouted 2-feet tall overnight. I realized the smokey, celery-like lovage would be a great flavor with the lemony sorrel. How could that not be a great thing with poached salmon? It turned out so well I ran to write down the recipe so I wouldn't forget. We buy frozen wild-salmon filets that come individually sealed. It only takes 20-30 minutes to thaw them after setting them in a sink full of cold water. Don't forget to cut a few large lovage stems into 8-inch straws to put in your drinking glasses! 2 C broth, preferably homemade (chicken, beef or fish) 2 6-ounce salmon filets, thawed if frozen 1 tsp olive oil 1/2 onion, minced

Sorrel Soup with Chicken and Leeks

Sorrel Soup with Chicken and Leeks Sorrel makes for a wonderful soup in the spring. In Poland or Hungary they call it Shav Borscht, and often eat it at Passover. Traditionally it is thickened with a flour and butter roux, but not in my house. 1/2 pound sorrel leaves, stripped from stems and chopped 2 leeks, cleaned, and sliced including an inch of green 1 TBL olive oil 4 C chicken broth, preferably homemade 1 egg, optional (not for AIP diet) 2 C chicken, cooked or uncooked salt and pepper to taste Sour cream, coconut cream or cashew cream Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, then sauté leeks for a minute or so, and add the chopped sorrel. Cook until sorrel wilts and turns its own unique shade of brown (once you cook it, you'll see what I mean). Add the chicken stock to the sorrel and leeks. Bring to a simmer, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.  At this point you can either puree the soup (use an imme
