Parmesan-Zucchini Fritters to Chocolat Banana Muffins #youarewhatyoueat #sogroovy #lorijeanfinnila


These are so good with sour cream and more parmesan on top. I used fresh graded parmesan cheese. 
I was in the midst of making these.



I added a pinch of anise and used coconut oil instead of butter. I also added everything together at the same time and baked it for almost an hour. I would use less coconut oil next time and more toward a pinch of anise. Anise brought fragrance to it and it only had a bit of crisp from the oatmeal. Very tasty and good for breakfast too. This helps my fatigue and sugar cravings.




Delectable


Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
I haven't been crying for chocolate. I used honey and 1 tblsp of cinnamon.


Crusted Mashed Potatoes
Unbelievably good. I felt I was exploring another culture of food which I enjoyed tremendously. I used gluten free breadcrumbs which worked fine.

Sloppy Apple Pie Square
This is the best pie crust I've made for a dessert. I used scraps leftover from a French Canadian salmon pie I made after leaving it in the fridge for a bit. Oh so delicious. I used Bob's Red Mill 1:1 flour and coconut oil. I didn't miss the butter in this recipe. I also used some of the apples in the recipe above scraping of the oats - the anise was the winner in this filling. Just the touch of it brought a rich essence to my mouth.

Feeling 'So Groovy!'

Tarragon Chicken and Salmon Cakes #wildcaughtsalmon #panfriedchicken #lorijeaninthekitchen



Salmon Cakes made with pumpkin puree and egg. I borrowed  "the Heal Your Gut cookbook" by Hilary Boynton and Mary G. Brackett from the library. The recipe is on p. 151. The cakes were so good I didn't need the lemon pesto to go with it.






 Tender Pan-Fried Chicken Breasts

This is the best pan-browned then baked chicken I've ever had. The spices and herbs combined are phenomenal. The ginger, dried mustard and thyme were just the beginning to this. I had some gluten-free flour in the house if you choose to go that route. I also cut the recipe in half and used olive oil. I was so happy to use the tarragon I just bought and was dying to use.

These are great for energy and can be used in the morning with eggs with a different spice or herb. I borrowed a book from the library titled "the Heal Your Gut cookbook" by Hillary Boynton and Mary G. Bracket pg. 121 for this recipe.

Milk Bad Rap? #GotMilk #lorijeanfinnila #lorijeaninthekitchen #holisticmedicine #holisticnutrition

Milk is healthy for energy for our bodies because of its phosphorus content which carries B vitamins. B vitamins are in healthy fats such as salmon. Olive oil is high in B vitamins. Why milk gets all the bad rap and I have to constantly feel bad about feeling great after drinking it is unneccesary. So if you feel like you need to drink milk, drink it!

Pumpkin Spice Vegan and Gluten-Free #lorijeaninthekitchen #holisticmedicine #holisticyeah #pumpkinspice


 Vegan Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie
This is a sure winner. The pie filling is the best. I worked with a rice pie crust but it was a bit crunchy because I tried to make my own rice flour with a 200-watt food processor - not the best idea; the flavor was still there. I also made my own homemade whipped cream (8 ounces whipping cream, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp honey, more or less - taste test, and blended it in my blender) and omitted the brown sugar.

Vegan Pumpkin Ice Cream
I omitted the cashews and used regular 2% milk that I had in the house and omitted the sugar.

For those of you who missed the pumpkin spiced muffins here they are again to get all your pumpkin spice cooking done at the same time.
