Low-carb cinnamon apples

by Gilad

Low-carb cinnamon apples with vanilla sauce

Ingredients

Vanilla sauce
  • 2½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 star anise (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 egg yolk
Cinnamon apples
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 apples, preferably a type that is firm and tart, for example Gravensteiner or Granny Smith
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Bring ½ cup whipping cream, butter, vanilla and optional star anise to a boil in a small saucepan, over medium heat. Lower the heat and let simmer for 5 minutes or more until the sauce turns creamy.
  2. Remove from the heat and remove the star anise. Add the yolk while whisking vigorously. Place in a cool place and let cool completely. You can prepare the flavored cream up to 1 day before, and refrigerate.
  3. Whisk the remaining 2 cups of heavy whipping cream in a bowl, and mix into the refrigerated cream.
  4. Place in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes or more. You can place them in dessert bowls to make the vanilla sauce thicken up faster.
  5. Wash the apples and peel them if you want to but there's really no need for that. The peel adds color, flavor and texture.
  6. Core the apple and slice thinly. Heat the butter in a frying pan and brown the slices golden. Add cinnamon towards the end.
  7. Serve the apples warm with the vanilla sauce.
Tip!
The sauce goes great with various desserts, where you would normally have served vanilla custard. For example, you can heat a couple of blackberries or raspberries and serve with the vanilla sauce. Put it in the freezer and you'll have a luxurious ice cream!

    by Gilad

    Quick And Healthy Snacks
     

    Crunchy and spicy is a combination that we love in our food! Bake your own crispy chickpeas for a tasty and healthy snack.

    INGREDIENTS 
    • 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas
    • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 tsp Himalayan salt
    • 2 to 4 tsp spices such as chili powder, curry powder, garam masala, cumin, smoked paprika, rosemary, thyme, or any of your favorite herbs or spices
     
    METHOD 
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). 
    Rinse and drain the chickpeas by pouring chickpeas into a strainer and rinsing with running water. 
    Pat the chickpeas very dry with a clean dishtowel or paper towels.  They should feel dry to touch. 
    Toss the chickpeas with olive oil and salt, and spread the chickpeas out in an even layer on the baking sheet.
    Roast the chickpeas in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes until golden and crisp, checking every 10 minutes and giving the pan a shake.
    Toss the chickpeas with the spices.
    Besides eating these chickpeas as a snack, you can toss them in salads or sprinkle over soup in place of croutons.

    Coconut & Macadamia Crusted Salmon

    by Gilad

     

    This delightful and oh-so-delicious dish is brimming with nutrients to heal and seal your gut. Salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids to fight inflammation. Like all seafood, salmon also supplies zinc, which tends to be less well absorbed in people with digestive issues.


    INGREDIENTS   serves 2

    • ½ cup macadamia nuts
    • 1 cup shredded coconut
    • 1 egg
    • 2 salmon fillets, bones removed
    • 1 lemon
    • Green salad leaves, to serve
    • Olive oil
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
     

    DIRECTIONS 

    1. Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C)
    2. Combine macadamia nuts, coconut and a little salt and pepper in a food processor to form a rustic crumbing mixture.
    3. Beat egg in a small shallow bowl.
    4. Dip salmon fillets in egg mixture before coating thoroughly with the crumbing mixture.
    5. Transfer crumbed fillets onto a lined or greased baking tray. Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until salmon is cooked to your preferred level of 'doneness'.
    6. Serve salmon with a side of green salad leaves, drizzle of olive oil and wedge of lemon.

    Avocado-Buttermilk Soup with Crab Salad

    by Gilad

    This simple, no-cook soup is garnished with delicious orange-infused crabmeat. A vibrant, green-hued bowlful set before a hungry diner will not last long-take our word for it. Although it is intended to be rich and creamy, if the soup seems a little too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more buttermilk.


    Ingredients
    3/4 cup fat-free buttermilk
    1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatillos
    1/2 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
    3/8 teaspoon salt
    2 ripe peeled avocados, pitted
    1 serrano pepper, seeded
    1 small garlic clove
    2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
    1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
    8 ounces lump crabmeat, drained and shell pieces removed

    Preparation
    1. Place first 7 ingredients in a blender; process until smooth.
    2. Combine bell pepper and remaining ingredients; toss gently to combine.
    3. Spoon about 3/4 cup soup into each of 4 bowls; top each serving with about 1/3 cup crabmeat mixture.

    Sugarless Cranberry Sauce Recipe

    by Gilad

    For your Thanksgiving Table  

     

    Cranberry sauce was a staple at the Thanksgiving table when I was a kid, though it usually came out of a can. Then, at some point, we started making it, but the recipe called for a lot of sugar! For those who haven't tried them, plain cranberries are very tart, so I wasn't sure this recipe would be able to be made healthy, but some other delicious fruits filled in the gaps. It does have more natural sugars than we normally eat, but is a healthier option to the ones that actually contain sugar.

    Prep time 15 min. Cook time 15 min. Total time 30 min.

    A homemade alternative to store-bought cranberry sauce with delicious hints of pineapple and orange to complement the flavor!

    Ingredients

    • 2 bags of fresh cranberries (they are usually 12 ounce bags)
    • ¾ cup pineapple juice or orange juice (I recommend pineapple!)
    • ½ cup of applesauce (no sugar added)
    • ½ cup of water
    • juice and zest of one orange
    • 3 to 4 Tablespoons of honey or to taste (optional)

    Instructions

    1. Put cranberries, pineapple juice, applesauce and water in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
    2. Keep on medium heat, stirring constantly until the cranberries start to explode (about 10-15 minutes).
    3. Reduce to a simmer and pour the juice and zest over the cranberry mixture.
    4. Simmer 10-15 minutes and remove from heat.
    5. Cool completely and store in fridge at least 4 hours but preferably overnight before serving.
    NOTE: This is not as sweet as store versions! Taste at the end of cooking. It is naturally sweet from the fruit juice and applesauce but you can add more honey or agave to taste if needed.
