Thanksgiving Menu Part I


Hey guys I would like to apologize for all the CAPS I am using on this post I just want to make sure you read  those items before you make anything. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite Thanksgiving detox recipes, but since there are many courses I have to split the post into 3 if not you guys will go kinda crazy. So this post will include 2 appetizers, the next post will include what to eat for a  Main dish and to follow that my favorite course DESSERT.

The reason for this post is simple, I want you to be successful on your healing journey and Thanksgiving should be about celebrating and not worrying about what everyone else is gonna have that I can't. These items I am sharing are both good for your detox and your non detox peeps. (Some of your non detox peeps will ask for salt so just.... HIDE IT!! 😃 LOL just kidding, give it a touch of salt after you serve yourself).

Appetizers

To get things started usually we do cheese and crackers, soups or salads.... So lets start with soup

This soup is any one's dream... its creamy and sexy! The ingredients were inspired by http://www.wholelivinglauren.com/ she rocks out some awesome vegan cuisine (not detox but vegan). I took one of her recipes and tweaked until it became detox friendly.

Remember guys if you are buying anything that is pre-made (like say the pumpkin puree or coconut milk...) Make sure to READ THE LABLE. If you are purchasing with enough time order this one Pumpkin puree it only has.... ORGANIC PUMPKIN IN IT. For the coconut milk buy a can of GOLDEN STAR COCONUT MILK if you live in South Florida it is sold at Walmart.




Now that I have your attention!! 

The next appetizer I guess is usually made as a side but you will love this version is quick and simple. My favorite words in the world...

Lets make some Honey lemon carrots (non-vegan certified which means my hubby likes em😉)


Keep posted for the following recipes to come for the Detox Thanksgiving menu.
Leave your comments bellow and Remember recipes are suggestions not directions so if you experiment and it's better than mine SHARE IT WITH ME!!😋

Non-Dairy Mashed Potatoes

Image
This past weekend was Memorial Day which usually means beach, sun and barbecue; and me being me I couldn't show up to my husbands family's house empty handed. This recipe was so good that no one thought it was vegan, let alone detox. To continue with my potato phase I made non-dairy mash potatoes without compromising taste, because who would want to do that to comfort food?? I used my handy dandy slow cooker and my wits to come up with creamy wonderful tasting mashed potatoes. The slow cooking allows the potatoes to soak up the taste of the cooking liquid and any spices you put in there. Of course I only added vegetable broth and garlic to cook it. To give it the creamy texture, after cooking it I used my food processor to cream 3/4 of the potato in the slow cooker and the rest I mashed with a potato masher. Adding flavor to me is a must, I topped it off with home-made white onion and garlic in a type of " Mojo Sauce " with no oil. If you want to add a bite and y

DETOX FOODS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU COULD HAVE...

Hey Guys! This post was inspired by questions of patients. I have noticed that most people that say there's not enough flavor in my food don't really know what they can have and what they are missing. Here is a cheat sheet of some of the items that you can have while on detox and what to use them for. Vinegar's and Sauces: Organic Balsamic Vinegar- is a very dark, concentrated, and intensely flavored vinegar made wholly or partially from grape must, originating in Italy. During detox it can be used raw for dressings and to flavor vegetables before roasting.The reason this needs to be organic is because it will only have natural recurring sulfites and nothing added. Apple Cider Vinegar- It’s mostly apple juice, but adding yeast turns the fruit sugar into alcohol -- this is fermentation. Bacteria turn the alcohol into acetic acid. That’s what gives vinegar its sour taste and strong smell. During detox we can use this vinegar for dressings, to make relishes and to add mo
