It’s Tuesday again! Last week’s SIT had 100 healthy recipes. Holy moly! I love seeing this event grow.
Welcome!! to my friends from Nourished!! I noticed that many of you linked up this week. It’s great to see you here! I know you’ll love the healthy foodie community the gathers here every Tuesday.
I actually had time to do some browsing this week so I’ve got some posts that I think you should check out:
Healthier Highlights
My Picks
I’ve been reading books by Dr. Joel Furman
- Broccoflower Lemon Jasmine Soup from A Harmony Healing

Reader Favs

Linking Up Guidelines:
- If you leave a link in the comments, my blog will automatically mark it as spam.
- Please link back to this post NOT A STATIC “BLOG PARTY PAGE” so that your readers can find the recipes here.
- Link to your individual post, NOT your home page.
- Recipes DO NOT have to be sugar-free or gluten-free – just healthier in some way. The idea is to share our ideas and inspire each other in the kitchen.
- When you link, please tell us what you’re sharing.

Hi Amy,
So happy to have you back
I shared my Vanilla Coconut Frozen Yogurt, Protein Power Smoothie and Banana Bread recipes this week. I think I am going to have to check out that book you mentioned-I can never pass up a good read, especially when it is about nutrition and raising healthy kids!

@Laura @ Gluten Free Pantry, Let me know if you check out Dr. Furman’s book. He’s changed my entire way of thinking about food. He’s an incredible man. And, it’s all stuff I knew about but when he puts all the pieces together it makes so much sense.
xoxo,
Amy

Hi Amy,
I hope you are great! Thanks so much for highlighting my broccoflower lemon jasmine soup. I hope you enjoy it! Today I shared a Indian inspired recipe for kale coconut curry since I’ve been craving curry lately. Have a great week and thanks for hosting this wonderful carnival.

Hi Amy,
Well that would be so much fun! We have TON of family in Texas. We might just have to make a week long trip out of it. I lived in Allen for a summer with my Mom. My father-in-law is from Lubbock. And so my husband has a bunch of aunts, uncles and cousins around the state (Houston, Georgia, San Antonio, and Lubbock).

Thanks for hosting us Amy! And a huge thank you for featuring the Grain-Free Strawberry Shortcakes!
This week I’m sharing Sprouted Gluten-Free Bread – the extra efforts of sprouting are rewarded by this crunchy, tender, sandwich-able loaf!

@Amy, Hi Amy! There really is no substitute, they are made with almond flour, but are so chewy and delicious, it sure tastes like there is some oatmeal in them! My tummy doesn’t like oatmeal these days, so they helped my craving for oatmeal raisin cookies!

I also brought an addictive recipe for roasted chickpeas that the whole family loved!

Hello! I am new to this blog and I love it! I have been gluten free for a few months and never felt better, and just recently found out that we probably need to put my husband on a sugar free diet for candida, so I will be visiting often!
This week I am sharing Grilled Cajun Catfish with Andouille Grits and Tomato Sauce – it can also be made with Tilapia. It is Gluten Free and Sugar Free, and very tasty! Don’t be put off by the word Cajun if you don’t like hot spices – I show you how to adjust the heat while keeping the flavor.
Thank you for hosting this, and for the whole blog!

@Amy, Thank you! It has been a long journey, like most food related ones are, but it started a few years back when the doctor put him on anti fungal medication for some digestive complaints. He went for I think about five rounds and felt much much better, but as we didn’t know the root cause or much about food at all back then it has slowly come back. The doctor really didn’t discuss it with us, so I had completely forgotten until we discovered a quiz that listed all of his recent complaints and suggested that the cause might be candida. I don’t remember where I found the link, but I know it was indirectly from one of the new blogs I have been following. It may well have been you!

My link today is for a quick and lean entree that everyone in my house always likes — Pan-Grilled Boneless Pork Chops (GFCF and low carb). They can be on the table, with or without gravy, in about 15 minutes. The side dishes often take longer than that
You’re right, those vegetables sure do sound interesting! I’m looking forward to more on them.

Maybe you can help me out! I am looking for Dr Fuhrman’s recipe for meatloaf. It’s actually gr turkey and all kinds of veggies in it. I had it at a party and can’t seem to find the recipe. Thanks!!

I used to make this recipe with Wish-Bone bottled Russian Dressing- I decided to make my own after I saw that corn syrup was the first ingredient!

Hi Amy! I am new to your blog, and I didn’t realize today was a linky party. I didn’t join the party
but I did blog about one of your recipes that I ran across – your Sweet Curried Carrot Soup. It was super tasty, and the homemade curry powder is awesome! I will start thinking about recipes, as Slightly Indulgent Tuesday sounds fun!

@Alta, He is extreme, Alta, but it’s research based. He’s not just telling you what he things – he talks about what has been proven over and over again with research. I have been working more and more toward a plant based diet after reading him. It’s a shift for me but I want to be as healthy as I can. (And I am so much healthier than most!!)
It was great to see you yesterday! We need to get together more often. We loved your bread!!!

I would also recommend reading Deep Nutrition, by Dr. Catherine Shanahan.
