Christmas is Coming… U.S. Wellness Meats!

Posted on by

Guys, Christmas is coming!
Christmas is coming!

christmas-tree_1

We’ve been searching for a reasonable SCD ham to purchase for Christmas or Christmas Eve dinner.
We finally found one that we are going to try!

The one or two sites that we’ve seen with sugar free ham options tend to sell the ham itself for 60 -70 buckaroos or it is HUGE.  This site you can get a 2.5 ibs. sugar-free ham (Pork, Water, Sea Salt) for $23.68.  The only downside is you have to buy at least 7 ibs. of meat per order…  BUT HEY, let’s make the best of it!  We’ll be getting the ham to try along with some beef sticks and a variety of jerkies (plan, spicy, beef, turkey) for the road trip snacks to and from family’s homes!  How about some breakfast sausage to have on Christmas morn?!

There are more SCD options than posted below on their website, these are just the ones we are interested in for ourselves:

“Crushless Spinach Quiche” Better than the Junk Quiche

Posted on by

This recipe graciously stolen from ANY14TNS at allrecipes.com.

The Goods
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
5 eggs, beaten
3 cups shredded Muenster cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

The Gettin’
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch pie pan.
2.  Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft. Stir in spinach and continue cooking until excess moisture has evaporated.
3.  In a large bowl, combine eggs, cheese, salt and pepper. Add spinach mixture and stir to blend. Scoop into prepared pie pan.
4.  Bake in preheated oven until eggs have set, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

The Take
It is pretty good quiche.  We’ve only made it with cheddar, so we’ll have to try it with the Munster. Like like like it! Oh and the name change?  Lauren’s family had a crustless quiche recipe, but when typing it, input crushless… we like that better. 🙂

Sweet Cinnamon Buns!

Posted on by

This recipe graciously stolen from comfybelly.com.

The Goods
Muffin Goods

1/2 cup SCD yogurt
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Cinnamon Topping Goods

2 Tbs. cinnamon
4 Tbs. honey
2 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted (coconut butter will work too)

The Gettin’
1. Preheat oven to 310 degrees F.
2. Combine all the muffin ingredients and blend well (we used food processor, but hand is great too).
3. Place cupcake liners in a baking pan, and fill the liners halfway with batter.
3. Blend all the topping ingredients well with fork.
4. Add about a tablespoon of topping to the center of each muffin.
5. Place another scoop of batter on top of each muffin until the batter just about reaches the top.
6. Evenly distribute the remaining topping over the top of each muffin. Optionally, use a toothpick to poke at the top of each muffin to allow some topping to drip into the batter.
7. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick placed in the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are starting to brown.

The Take
They are moist, flavorful, and glamorous!  These buns are better than J. Lo’s!  THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!  The most amazing part to me is that if you handed these muffins to a friend, they would have no clue they were made with the nontraditional ingredients.  if you like cinnamon, you’re just gonna die.

How Lauren Got Cocky, or Scrambled Eggs

Posted on by

This recipe created masterfully by Lauren.

IMAG0810

The Goods
12 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chopped portabella mushrooms
2 bundles of scallions

**For best results cook in grease from either SCD sausage or SCD bacon, otherwise oil or butter may be used.**

The Gettin’

1. As mentioned before, for out-of-this-world-wet-your-pants-what-the-am-I-really-not-in-heaven-can-this-I-can’t-believe-how-oh-my-word-*CENSORED* results, begin by keeping grease from previously cooked SCD sausage in skillet.  SCD bacon will create a lessor, but-seriously-can-you-go-wrong-with-bacon, effect.  Oil or melted butter will be fab and delish, if you begin with them in the skillet instead.
2. In mixing bowl, crack eggs and add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Beat egg mixture until well blended. Set aside.
4. Cut off the long green leaves and any roots from scallions.
5. Chop remaining white base of scallions along with portabella mushrooms into chunks.
6. Pour egg mixture, onions, and scallions into skillet on medium heat.
7. Continue cooking – pulling, lifting, and folding together- until egg becomes thickened and no visible liquid remains.  No need to stir constantly.
8. Take off heat and immediately, you just got served.

The Take
Her head was in Texas- that’s right- it was bigger.  The table talk was flattery toward the wizardry of the eggs… who compliments eggs?  The better question is… who wouldn’t compliment these!

Blueberry Muffins

Posted on by

This recipe stolen graciously from Elaine Gloria Gottschall of Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet.


The Goods
2 1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup melted butter (or home made yogurt)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1/2 – 3/4 cup blueberries

The Gettin’
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Blend everything together.  (The original recipe added the wet ingredients last to make sure you had a muffin batter consistency, but I skipped this step and it worked out fine.)
3. Stir in blueberries.
4. Spoon the mixture into muffin tin lined with paper cases (or non-stick muffin tin).  We used two spoonfuls per muffin hole.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until muffins spring back when pressed. Let cool 5-10 minutes.

The Take
Due to the almond flour, these muffins have a slightly sweet, nutty flavor to them.  I love these muffins!  If your muffins (or any other baked goods, especially if you’re not using wheat flour) don’t rise, make sure you have fresh baking soda – it weakens over time.
