Welcome to my crazy world of real food cooking ...

Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly Plants. -- Michael Pollan

I wish I could take credit for that because I think it sums up how we should eat. Simply -- eat stuff that really is food, instead of stuff that is food like substance. The supermarket is almost entirely food-like-substances, and, my friends, you should probably never ever eat them.

Fortunately, there is a world of deliciousness out there, and it can all be had in a way that not only doesn't harm your health, but in a way that benefits you hugely.

I think it's important to eat stuff that satisfies you, that keeps your blood sugar stable, and that gives you stuff your body really needs to run optimally.

But baby, it's gotta taste good.

I really like getting experimental in the kitchen. I love cooking, I love layering flavours, and I love coming up with really super yummy food. I have very strong opinions about what constitutes food, and there are a lot of things I won't touch in the kitchen. Bottom line? Pretty much everything I make is ridiculously good for you even if it tastes decadent. Although there are occasional big fat cheats ... but even those stick to real food, my friends.

For food that is usual gluten free, usually free of cane sugar, usually super low on the glycemic index, full of protein, fiber, flavour, and excellent energy, join me and Alice down the rabbit hole.

Every recipe on this blog is my own original effort and idea, so please pass 'em on, giving credit where credit is due.

Many thanks, and come back often. I'm really glad you are here!

Moong Dal Crackers!! Vegan, grain free, gluten free, savoury!!

I really like the kind of crunchy crackers I make at home with such sustaining ingredients as lentil flour, or in this case cooked moong dal -- which means cooked split mung beans. I seasoned these with chili and cumin even though these days I'v been craving less seasoning. Next time I think I'll use just a little sea salt and maybe 1/4 cup sweet potato flour instead. That being said, these are simple and wholesome, and work as a nut-free lunch box snack.





ingredients:

4 cups cooked moong dal
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup chia ground
1/4 cup flax ground

4 tbsp coconut oil


directions:
1. combine ingredients
2. spread on 2 parchment lined baking sheets -- use a rolling pin over another piece of parchment to flatten out
3. score into squares
4. bake at 345 for 12 minutes
4. dehydrate at 200 degrees for 4 hours
