Baba ghanoush, on detox SPECIAL REQUEST!


Hello peeps! Yes you read this right it's special request. A patient called and here is her response (sorry it took so long!).

Here is the DL I had never ever had Baba Ghanoush in my life! So I decided ( for research purposes only😋) to go to a restaurant that I shall not mention, ordered me a plate of this creamy deliciousness. If you have never had this the main ingredient is eggplant and the texture is close to but not the same as hummus. It has a slight smokey flavor and it is a spread that if you like it you will want to put on EVERYTHING!

If you have met me you would know that the only thing I did during my detox process that was not approved was hummus on a Saturday cuz I wanted it so bad with rainbow carrots (I call it my break). Jeez I wish I'd known about this thing it is just delish.

OK enough, now I know some of you go straight for the recipe but for those of you who read the entire thing first thanks and second here are the tips for this recipe:

  • Roast the garlic along with the eggplant. 
  • If you want to glaze the eggplant use honey + lemon juice and top with garlic powder ( it makes it so much better) 
  • Add Herbs and spices at your peril... ( I always experiment and not a lot of spices go with this proven... so far: paprika & smoked paprika, fresh parsley... done) 
  • If you are looking to give this a kick GRILL the eggplant rather than roasting it made a difference! 

 Making a batch soon and will post picture! 

Try it and let me know!!

Non-Dairy Mashed Potatoes

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
