Healthy Recipes
We love to share these great tasting recipes that can be eaten for detoxes and cleanses, as well as the auto-immune, paleo, keto, vegetarian, and vegan diets.
All the following recipes area free of gluten, dairy, soy, corn, nightshade vegetables, eggs, and sugar.
The recipes that contain grains call for millet, quinoa, brown rice, and gluten free oats. We love using those because they are high in fiber and nutrients.
We use the good fats, the good carbs, and the good proteins.
Try to buy local and organic if you can. Free range meats if you can. Absolutely no added preservatives, artificial flavors/colors, or junk that you do not need.
We spent years curating a great tasting menu of delicious breakfasts, salads, soups/stews, main dishes, sides, appetizers, dressings, smoothies, condiments, and desserts.
Over the years teaching our ReStart Detox programs, we realized that most people don't know exactly what to cook when they remove some of the ingredients of their favorite foods. We learned that to eat healthier choices meant cutting out the "go to" quick prepackaged meals or restaurant foods that they've become accustomed to eating.
Some of these we've added to our weekly meal rotations. Try some healthy and tasty alternatives to your favorite dishes. Some are easy recipes, some are more involved, but try the ones that appeal to you.
Coming Soon: Updated photos.We wanted to show that we actually made and ate these recipes. Our meals were taste tested and captured in our home. Some are from old school point-and-click cameras so they will be blurry, they still taste great!

Banana Ice Cream
Many times we do detoxes or cleanses that feel like we are depriving ourselves of anything that is sweet. Dessert is much more than the sweet we have after dinner; its social and ritual actions are much greater than the quick burst of energy we get from the sugars. Enjoy sparingly during your cleanse.

Bean Cakes
Inspired by the Love Cakes at the Flying Biscuit Café in Atlanta, GA, where we met. Goes great with Southwestern Millet, or a simple side salad.
In order to skip the traditional masa used in this recipe we use Xanthan gum to bind the rice flour together, otherwise the bean mixture will crumble. If you can't find xanthan gum at the grocery store, try your local health food store in the baking aisle.

Bone Broth
Bone broth is known for it's nourishing properties, especially in the winter months. Apple cider vinegar helps pull the calcium and other minerals out of the bones, adding an excellent source of calcium to your diet. The garlic and onion add anti microbial properties, the gelatin helps heal a leaky gut, and the collagen in the broth is excellent for skin, hair, nails, bones, joints. It's great when you're sick, or to sip throughout flu season as a preventative food. It is important that the meat you use is from a free range, hormone free, antibiotic free, preferable grass fed animal. You can use cow, chicken, turkey, or game animal for your broth.
Our recipe uses a free range chicken (with an addendum for the beef bones added). Phase One-Repair

Making your own almond milk prevents you from eating preservatives, and other additives in your store-bought almond milk. With the rising cost of almonds and the milk, making your own milk and flour and storing them in jars is a cost-effective way to enjoy these foods.
Saving the crushed remains and heating them in the oven will make almond flour. You can substitute almond flour in some recipes, like breading chicken, turkey, or fish. Look for recipes to make your own baking mix using almond flour.
For this recipe: you will need a fine mesh bag, or sieve, a high-speed blender, and a large mason jar.

Kale salads are best when they sit and absorb the flavor of the dressing.
Kale is LOADED with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. It's known as one of the best foods to eat but is also known to be bitter and hard to chew. An easy, tasty way to eat kale is when the rough leaves are broken down, either by cooking, or massaging in an acidic and oily mixture. If you chop it finely, or shred it in a food processor, the leaves can absorb the liquid more evenly. Time in the refrigerator break the hardness down even further. Once you enjoy kale this way, you will understand how tasty it can be.

Spaghetti Squash Primavera
Forget the wheat pasta and tomato sauce! This dish has all the flavors of Italy. Spaghetti squash is versatile and can replace all your traditional pasta dishes and extremely easy to prepare.
If you are unfamiliar with spaghetti squash, it is the football shaped, yellow vegetable that shows up in stores and farms late summer and lasts until middle spring. They keep for a while, unrefrigerated, so it's easy to make a healthier, wheat and grain free alternative to pastas if you have them on hand. Phase One-Repair

Strawberry Dressing
I had a bunch of flavored vinegars in the cupboard, so I whipped a batch up using a combination of blackberry and champagne tarragon vinegars. I love blending different flavored oils and vinegars for detox salad recipes. It's a simple item to make fresh so your salads are far from boring.
Don't have fresh organic strawberries? Stock up on frozen organic berries and keep them in the freezer. Since different flavors enhance a variety of salads, experiment with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or a mixture of all. Phase One-Repair
