Recipes are coded to note what
BASIC food intolerance categories
are used.
REFER TO THE FOOD SUBSTITUTIONS LIST FOR ALTERNATIVE INGREDIENTS..
and THE FOOD RESOURCE LIST to be sure the products you are using are safe for you.
Most ingredients can usually be substituted.
Following are the codes used for the recipes. It is the same key used for
THE FOOD RESOURCE LIST
and FOOD SUBSTITUTIONS LIST :
NOTE: A BLANK SPACE NEXT TO AN INGREDIENT MEANS
IT IS "NEUTRAL."


KEY FOR CODES
D =
Dairy
Ms
Mine Salt
E =
Egg
P
Potato
F =
Fruit
Sf
Seafood
G =
Grain
Ss
Sea Salt

Important HINTS:

* Western Family Baking Soda is neutral. Other brands may contain potato.

* Ground cloves usually contain fruit. Whole clove is neutral.

* If using bottled vanilla, look to see what solution it is in. If in alcohol, then it will most likely evaluate positive for grain. If in glycerin, then it is either fruit or meat.

*It is suggested to use Celtic salt in all recipes, as it is neutral.

* Yeast is coded "P or S" - Refer to The Food Resource List for the different yeasts and what they analyzed positive for.

* Do not be afraid to use a recipe just because it may contain your food intolerance. All you need to do is to refer to The FOOD SUBSTITUTIONS LIST for alternatives.

Our goal is to help you become familiar with various ingredients so that you are able to easily adapt recipes to fit your needs.

CREPES
(By Sandra Strom, CEO of Song of Health)

This dish is actually quite easy to make. Just follow the directions and get a feel for the batter. Crepes may be served for breakfast, as a main luncheon or dinner dish, or as a dessert, depending on fillings and sauces.

FOOD CATEGORY INGREDIENTS
E
2 eggs
D

or
?
1 cup milk, to start or
part milk or cream and part water or
substitute
N or
D
1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. oil or
cooled melted butter
N or
H
2 tsp. agave syrup, maple syrup or
honey
 
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt, as desired
G
1 cup flour, either whole wheat white or pastry

Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. With a fork beat just until well blended.
Mix in the milk mixture, 1 Tbsp. of the oil, sweetener, and salt to the eggs.
Add flour and stir until smooth.
Cover and let stand for at least 1/2 hour.
When ready to use, stir batter. It should be thin and just coats a serving spoon when dipped in it. If too thick, stir in a little more liquid, just enough to correct batter.
Heat a 6 inch, preferably cast iron, skillet on temperature between medium and medium high.
Add the teaspoon of oil and turn skillet to coat bottom and sides. The pan needs to be slightly oiled so the crepes won't stick, but not enough to "pool." Poor off any excess.
Using a serving spoon, pour a spoonful of batter into skillet. Turn skillet around so batter forms a thin coat. Adjust amount of batter if necessary.
When batter begins to form bubbles, carefully flip over using a spatula. You may have to carefully peel an edge with spatula and fingers or fork, to carefully begin removing and then flipping on to the other side without tearing.
If using a filling (see below), quickly add on top.
Using spatula, immediately begin curling crepe over, a little at a time, until completely rolled up.
Carefully roll onto serving plate or platter. Cover with a towel until all crepes are finished and ready to serve.
Just before serving, spoon sauce or other topping over the centers of crepes, if desired.
Yield: 2 servings.
Filling and Topping suggestions:
* Cheese (D) filling: Using a soft cheese, such as farmer's, season with a hint of fresh grated nutmeg (F) (optional). Spread 1 Tbsp. cheese over middle of crepe, then roll up. Or grate sharp white cheddar over crepe, then roll up. Serve with a fruit sauce (F) such as blueberry, apple sauce, or strawberry preserves; yogurt (D,F) or sour cream (D), or maple syrup .
* Mushroom filling: Saute sliced mushrooms in oil or butter (D). Spoon 1 Tbsp. over crepe, then roll up. Serve with cheese sauce (D,G) if desired, or sauce of choice.
* Vegetable, Meat (M) or Seafood (Sf) filling: Great for lunch or dinner.
Cook and chop in small pieces. If desired, add diced sauteed mushrooms to vegetables or meat.
If desired, flavor with sherry (F), rice mirin (G), soy sauce (Sy), or desired flavor. Spices and herbs may be used.
Place 1 Tbsp. filling toward center of crepe, then roll up.
Serve with cheese sauce (D,G), or mushroom cream sauce; sauteed mushrooms; a fruit sauce (F); or melted butter (D); or spoon a little of the filling over the top.

As you can see, the variations are unlimited when it comes to crepes. Experiment with your favorite ingredients. As long as the crepes turn out thin and tender and you haven't filled them too full, your dish will be delicious!

DEVILED EGGS WITH A KICK
(By Sandra Strom, CEO of Song of Health)

Remember, it is easy to adapt this recipe if a food category needs to be avoided. For example, substitute rice vinegar (G) for the balsamic vinegar and lime juice. Omit the Tamari soy sauce and adjust the salt.

FOOD CATEGORY INGREDIENTS
E
6 eggs
water to boil eggs
F
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
F
2 Tbsp. olive oil
F
1 Tbsp. lime juice
? or
N
1 tsp. prepared mustard or
1/2 tsp. ground mustard seed
1 tsp. garlic, finely minced
Sy
(other ingredients
may vary)
1/2 tsp. Tamari soy sauce
 
1/4 tsp. chipotle powder
 
1/4 tsp. coriander seeds, ground
(often positive for F)
1/4 tsp. paprika, plain or smoked
1 tsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
 
Celtic salt, to taste
Cilantro sprigs for garnish

In at least a 2-quart saucepan, place water and eggs. Heat to boiling.
Boil for 3 minutes, then turn off heat but keep pan of eggs on burner until water is tepid to cool.
Remove eggs and peel off shells.
With a sharp knife, carefully cut peeled eggs in half lengthwise.
With a spoon, remove yolk from each egg and place in a medium sized mixing bowl.
Add 2 of the egg whites, chopped, to the yolks, leaving 10 halves.
Carefully scrape part of the egg white out so that the egg half becomes a "boat", about 1/4 inch thick. This will make a nice-sized cavity to fill.
Chop the scooped out egg whites and add to the yolks.
Add the remaining ingredients, using only half the amount of paprika. Save the rest to sprinkle over filled eggs.
With an electric mixer (or place ingredients in a food processor) beat mixture until smooth and creamy.
With a spoon or pastry bag, fill egg white cavities.
Place filled eggs in an egg serving dish.
With fingers, sprinkle remaining paprika over the eggs.
Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs.
Suggestion: Complete serving dish with slices of fresh fruit or melon.
Yield: 5 servings.
Variation: If a less spicy dish is desired, decrease amount of chipotle powder used or omit completely. The chipotle gives it a great flavor, though, and the dish will be very different tasting without it.
TIPS: * Use eggs that are at least a couple weeks old. They will peel easier.
* Use cooled egg water to water house plants. They love it, especially those that require alkaline conditions.

FRITTATA
(By Sandra Strom, CEO of Song of Health)

This is a basic recipe for the Italian dish. Vary it to your own taste, adding your favorite vegetables, leftovers, substitute alternative ingredients you can have. Suggestions are mushrooms, spinach, asparagus tips, artichoke hearts, zucchini, broccoli, etc.; add finely chopped herbs, such as cilantro, oregano, rosemary, lemon thyme, sweet basil, savory, etc. The important thing to remember in order to make a good frittata is to cook it slowly, just until it begins to pull away from the sides of the skillet, so that it is tender while cooked through.

FOOD CATEGORY INGREDIENTS
G,?
1/3 cup ground homemade bread crumbs or cracker crumbs
(May contain F) or
D or
N
1/4 cup liquid (choice of tomato juice,
milk, yogurt thinned with water,
water, or broth)
1 cup vegetables, your choice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. green or sweet onion, finely diced or minced
E
4 eggs
F or
(depends on product)
2 Tbsp. olive oil or
substitute
pinch of salt, if desired

In a bowl place the bread crumbs and your choice of liquid. Soak until ready to use.
Slice or chop vegetables.
Steam, or saute in 1 Tbsp. oil, until barely tender. Do not overcook! Set aside.
In a bowl add eggs and beat just until mixed.
Add bread crumbs to eggs and mix well.
Heat on medium the 2 Tbsp. of oil in a 10 inch or 12 inch skillet.
Add the garlic and onion. Saute until golden and the onion is transluscent.
Add the vegetables and stir to mix evenly.
Turn heat down to low. Add eggs.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, if desired.
Cover and cook just until the frittata begins to shrink from the edges of the skillet.
If it puffs up, prick in the center with a fork.
To brown on top, set under broiler for a few seconds.
Serve immediately. To serve, cut in wedges.
Yield: 4 servings.

1–EGG OMELET
(By Sandra Strom, CEO of Song of Health)

FOOD CATEGORY INGREDIENTS
E

1 egg

D or
N
1 tsp. milk or
water
  dash of salt
D or
N
1 Tbsp. butter or
safflower oil

Julia Child was the master of the omelet.  For fun, I suggest watching old clips of her tossing the omelet over in the pan, to get the real feel of omelet making.  She will also demonstrate that it doesn’t have to look and be perfect to be delicious!  For the texture of a true omelet, it is best to make a one-egg omelet at a time instead of using more eggs in an attempt to cook it at once for multiple persons. Making it this way goes quickly and will still get everyone fed at the same table.

Crack egg in bowl and beat well with a fork.
Add milk and salt; mix well.
Using omelet pan or small heavy skillet with smooth bottom and edges, melt butter over medium high heat, being careful not to turn brown, then clarify by skimming fat solids off the top. 
Increase heat to high, then return skillet with clarified butter to burner. Add egg mixture all at once.
Let egg sit for a few seconds.  If adding a filling, do so now on top, then begin flipping omelet to fall over itself, causing uncooked egg to pour to bottom of skillet, continuing to cook and flip.  You made need to use a spatula to turn the cooking omelet until you eventually master the “flip of the wrist.”  Turn omelet over edge of skillet directly onto serving plate.

FILLINGS:  1-2 Tbsp. per omelet, one or more:

FOOD CATEGORY INGREDIENTS
D  
grated cheese
  
chopped or sliced and sautéed mushrooms*
Sf 
cooked and chopped seafood
M
cooked and crumbled bacon
sautéed red pepper; onion; zucchini
½ tsp. cilantro or parsley
Experiment!  Use leftovers or different herbs.  We’d love to have you share what you have created with all of us.

* In small skillet melt 2 Tbsp. butter and clarify, or heat oil. Add chopped or sliced mushrooms and saute until soft.
