I'm thankful for Sundays. For a long day spent exactly as I please: making raw treats and experimenting in the kitchen with my friends. I love learning about food from friends and family. It's a great joy in my life, getting to converse on the flavors and foods that we love. Not to be overdramatic, but food gives me hope that peace is possible -- when we share in our visceral love for food, our common experiences of comfort and cravings, our stories of mamma in the kitchen stirring a pot of soup. It gives me hope that dialogue and connection is possible despite the innumerable cultural and religious differences to which we all hold.
When all else fails in our attempts to know each other we can stand together over a terrine of bubbling stew, spoons in hand, and share something unique to that moment. Coriander, fennel seed, a rich broth. Dipping ripped bits of bread directly into the pot. Nodding together over
There's a reason we seduce and convince over lovingly prepared meals. When we eat well, we elevate: our moods, our minds, our relationships. It helps to confirm our shared humanity, experiences of pleasure. It's why we all hold certain foods close to our hearts (cornbread and collards, for me; lasagna for logan). And why we take offense to others displeasure at the foods me love. It degrades our ability to relate to them. It makes them seem that much more foreign and unknowable.
Vegan Pumpkin Bread With Coconut Frosting
Coconut is one of those foods that divides folks remarkably into two different sets: those who, like me, are coconut cheerleaders; and those who would rather suck on gravel than eat coconut. It's a love/hate thing. I have a lot of positive memories regarding coconut -- my dad always has a coconut cake for his birthday, being a lover of all tropical foods like me. Thus, in my mind coconut = party. So I have to apologize in advance to the coconut h8trs out there. This recipe is not for you, but sometime soon I'll make a stew with cornbread and we'll revel in the flavor connection together once more.
I've had at least two of my tuned in hippie chick babe friends tell me about how incredible coconut butter is. So I was stoked when my girl Annabeth came over to my house with a bag full of coconut flakes/enthusiasm, ready to make some rad blender coconut butter.
If you use a high powered blender like a Nutribullet your coconut flakes turn into paste within 5 minutes of blending. You can make a much smaller batch in an electric coffee grinder, as well (about 1/4 cup at a time). A milling blade is ideal -- that's a flat blade, as opposed to the multi-pronged blade of most blenders. If you're extra impatient and don't really care about keeping your coconut butterrawyou can toast your coconut lightly in a pan before blending and the coconut butter will come together even faster and more fluidly. Just be careful not to over process or the oil will separate from the coconut fiber!
Coconut Bread With Sweet Pineapple Butter Recipe
This easy recipe for raw coconut butter comes together in 5 minutes. It's excellent on toast with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of hemp hearts!I had never considered making bread out of coconut butter until I read a GAPS diet cookbook. GAPS is a therapeutic diet intended to reseal the lining of the gut among its other intended purposes. I’ve been curious to pull elements from GAPS as the saga of mysterious poor health is dragging into its fourth month. Since my last update, my flareups turned bad to the point that even the little bit of carbohydrate I could tolerate had to be removed again.
Butternut squash pancakes. I finally got some lab work back that indicated dysbiosis, high immune and autoimmune markers, and a slew of other imbalances. In short, I know that my immune system is hypersensitive and the mission is to figure out why.
My original diagnosis was a candida overgrowth. However, no candida showed up on a GI-Map test. While it left my M.D. puzzled, I’m convinced that some kind of pathogen is still living in a biofilm somewhere in my gut. Whether it’s candida causing my immune system upregulation or not, an opportunistic something-or-other is feeding on carbohydrates and causing flareup reactions when I eat them.
Coconut Milk Buns(no Eggs, No Butter, No Oil)
I’ve been eating coconut flour for the past few weeks with no worsening flareups because it obviously isn’t a grain that converts into a sugar upon digestion. However, coconut flour is quite fibrous. An already leaky gut that needs to reseal itself doesn’t love a low-fat fiber roughing things up. This is where the coconut butter idea came in as suggested by the GAPS practitioner who wrote the cookbook.
Baking hasn’t been my favorite activity while the list of foods I can eat safely narrows. I know it’s temporary, but it’s a huge bonus that this grain-free bread is wildly easy to make. Because of the high fat content, it even toasts nicely and tastes divine with sweet or savory toppings.
Combine all ingredients in a food processor, blender, or stand mixer until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 - 55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Keto Coconut Bread
A 5lb bucket of organic coconut butter on amazon is a fraction of the cost of jars at the grocer, just saying!
