Coconut Cauliflower Rice

Here is another way to use cauliflower ricewith a different taste profile. Cauliflower soaks up flavors as it cooks, butremains firm. That is why adding the coconut milk and shredded coconut to thisdish adds a lovely coconut flavor to the cauliflower. Cauliflower is themildest tasting member of the brassica family, which includes broccoli, kaleand cabbage. You can find it in the markets year round. When choosing yourcauliflower pick ones that are milky white without black spots ordiscoloration. The leaves are best when green and firm. Store your cauliflowerin the refrigerator in cellophane wrapping or a plastic bag.

Natto Salad

Natto Salad
“Natto is a traditional Japanese comfort food made of cooked whole soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis bacteria. For over a thousand years, natto has been a staple food in Japan, long revered for its nutritive value and many health benefits. Today, natto remains a popular breakfast, snack or side dish, typically eaten with a bowl of rice. Ubiquitous in Japan, natto is virtually unknown elsewhere.
 Natto is a food that promotes gastrointestinal health, and is also rich in nutrients shown to support cardiovascular (nattokinase) and bone health.
 THE BEST SOURCE OF VITAMIN K2 (MK-7) - gets calcium out of your arteries and into your bones. Natto is loved for its unique flavor and aroma -- savory, umami-rich and pungent (quite similar to a deliciously stinky cheese). 
 As a living food, natto is full of active probiotic bacteria, and as with other naturally fermented foods (e.g. wine, cheese, sauerkraut), the taste of natto evolves and intensifies with time. Freshly made natto has a milder flavor than natto that has been aged for a few weeks”.

Award Winning Raw Kale Salad

This vibrant, colorful, beautiful kale and red cabbage salad is my go to salad. Kale is a nutrition superstar due to the amounts of vitamins A, K, B6 and C, calcium, potassium, copper and manganese it contains. One cup of raw kale has just 33 calories and only 7 grams of carbohydrate. So, it’s a very diabetes-friendly/weight-friendly vegetable. Kale is a member of the cruciferous vegetable family along with cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, collard greens, kohlrabi, rutabaga, turnips and bok choy. Red cabbage is a good source of vitamin K and provides small amounts of calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which can help build and maintain healthy bones. Red cabbage is high in fiber, making it easier to digest foods and keep your digestive system healthy.

  • 1 Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 16 oz Tahini I use Trader Joe's Organic
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp cumin ground
  • 1 1/2 cups ice water
  • 2 cans chickpeas 15 oz cans

Instructions
 

  • Place the 3 garlic cloves into a food processor and add the lemon juice
  •  Pour the tahini on top
  • Add the salt and cumin. 
  • Process until the mixture looks peanut-buttery, about 1 minute. 
  • Stream in the ice water, a little at a time, with the motor running. 
  •  Process just until the mixture is smooth and creamy and lightens to the color of dry sand.

Notes

Olive oil makes the texture of hummus luxurious. I add a little drizzle to the top of the hummus when I serve it.
In addition to the ingredients above, you can add more flavor and ingredients to your hummus. Try adding roasted red peppers for a red pepper hummus, or beets, pesto, herbs, olives, pine nuts, and extra spices such as sumac.
Enjoy with pita, gluten free crackers, celery, carrots, and other veggies. It can also be used as a sandwich spread.
This hummus keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 1 week.
This recipe makes 12 generous servings and is great for parties. You can halve the recipe for a smaller amount if desired.

Bone-Loving Brussels Sprouts Slaw

Brusells Sprouts are a cruciferous vegetable. These veggies were originally named for the way their flowers seemed to form a cross or crucifix shape. But they are also known as “brassica” vegetables. That comes from their botanical name which translates to “cabbage.” Some people just call them the cabbage family of vegetables. Eating three servings a day of cruciferous veggies is my personal goal.

Notes

Why are cruciferous vegetables so important?
For one thing, cruciferous vegetables are critical for helping your body get rid of harmful toxins.
You see, most toxins are fat-soluble. But in order for your body to get rid of them, it has to first convert them to a water-soluble state. Once they are water-soluble your body can excrete them through the bowel, through the kidneys as urine, or through the skin as sweat.
The sulfur in cruciferous vegetables helps your body gets those toxins out. A sulfur molecule attaches to a toxin and makes it water-soluble. Then it can be flushed out.
Without those sulfur compounds the toxins could be trapped in your body. They would just continue to circulate causing more harm.
But there’s another reason to eat these veggies every day. They build strong bones.
Cruciferous vegetables are full of vitamin C, calcium, vitamin K, and magnesium. You need all of those for keeping your bones healthy.
And cruciferous vegetables are also alkalizing. They help you balance out the more acidic foods in your diet like meats, dairy, and sugar that tend to leach calcium from your bones and make them weak.
