Bargain healthy recipes

I realize it tradition to eat B.B.Q. on the forth of July, but for some of us this is not going to fly... or is it? The question is not about vegans having barbecue but Detox barbecue is that even possible??!! I want to believe that it is. Here I stand in front of my grill and thinking what to do for this forth of July weekend thats healthy and alkaline. So I came up with these sliders and slaw idea! The sliders will make for a cute and delicious treat for me and anyone who reads this blog. To start off I want to say that yes I'm posting 2 recipes in one post because I've taken a couple of weeks off and also its important to have variety to survive this holiday with out breaking the detox diet. Mushrooms are my best friends during any vegan like diet, because of their texture and flavor I never miss the meat. The most important thing on a diet is to make things familiar this will keep you from "cheating".  This is why the mushroom is my best friend (that I eat.....

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...

Making cream soup usually involves flour, cream or milk and lots of butter. This version has NONE of these, keeping the creaminess and delicious flavors intact. It's an alkaline choice of ingredients made into a delicious comfort food. The creamy part is made out of the potatoes in the soup. Using these potatoes will keep the flavor in the soup consistent and just to add in a nutritious ingredient I added some steamed cauliflower.  Since there is no meat in this recipe at the end sauteed balsamic mushrooms were added. The mushrooms allow the illusion that it has some kind of meat; and don't even get me started on the health benefits! The main reason I made this in the slow cooker  was because I thought about making something for lunch for the next day at work and it was already 10:00pm so there was no way I was gonna cook and wait the whole process. The decision was simple... Stay up and cook or throw it in the slow cooker and put a timer and go to sleep? But my friend ...

My dear Peeps, I am so sorry that It's taken so long for a new post. For those who know me you guys could tell  I was a little sick ( lies!! I was super sick!) so there was no inventing or cooking at all for about a week and a half. Finally I am feeling better and this weekend I made sure I caught up with my cooking projects and made Soy-less soy sauce. I wanted to make it as healthy but tasty as possible so other things it doesn't have are Alcohol, Wheat, Salt, Sodium Benzoate (preservative) or Yeast.  Typically you expect for soy sauce to be salty, so if you are NOT ON DETOX you can add about a teaspoon of sea salt or Himalayan salt although you really don't need it its a very tasty sauce. The cool thing about this sauce its that it opens up a brand new venue for those on the detox and it gives a healthy option for those who want one.  To make this "soy sauce" you can use all natural spices but you will have to alter the amounts remember when you use dri...
