Truly Great Vanilla Cake (Link/Replacement)

This cake is incredibly tasty, light and delicate.  I was delighted.  I folded fresh raspberries from my garden into the cake and it is absolutely delectable.  A really great way to spoil yourself when you're feeling sad about missing chocolate cupcakes and such.

The only replacement is to use the homemade sweetened condensed coconut milk to replace the dairy version in this cake.  Otherwise, everything else is perfect.

Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk (Link)

Ever find a recipe that calls for sweetened condensed milk?  Now you can make a perfect substitute for the usual stuff.  Great recipe here:

Ceviche (Lyla Again) - Link/Replacements

Ah, another wonderful recipe from Lyla's great brain.  The fish really does cook in the lemon and lime juice, but you should eat it fairly soon after it's made.  I'd guess no longer than a week.  


**In this recipe, simply remove the Red Onion and Cilantro.**  The recipe comes out just beautifully without either of those ingredients.  This is if you really love fish, and miss it, a special occasion kind of thing, probably. I adored it when I tried it!  And will definitely make this delectable treat whenever possible.

Michael Symon's Grilled Flank Steak with Bacon Rosemary Corn (Link)

This is recipe tested by another friend, Miryam, who is also practicing the low sulfur diet herself.  She says:

"I have an incredible recipe for you to post on your blog. We had it last night. It's easy, delicious, not too spendy. All good things."

It looks fantastic, and I can't wait to try it myself.

Michael Symon's Grilled Flank Steak with Bacon Rosemary Corn

It looks pretty much like perfection as is, no edits and replacements.  If you are worried about Sherry vinegar, use white instead, although white vinegar is made from petroleum and really isn't "natural" at all.  I'll stick with the Sherry Vinegar, personally.

Low Sulfur Oatmeal "Buttermilk" Pancakes

This one is an original I did based on soaking the oats for 10 minutes before hand in milk.  Only, I decided sour milk since this can produce a light end product when mixed with baking soda (which is in the baking powder).  We all know what happens when you put vinegar and baking soda together, yes?  Fun science experiment!  Also provides lift in non-egg baking recipes.

Low Sulfur Oatmeal "Buttermilk" Pancakes
Recipe by Miriam Mason

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 cups coconut milk

Put vinegar into a 2 cup liquid measuring cup and then pour the coconut milk over the top of it.  Stir it.  In 5-10 minutes, the vinegar completely sours the milk, and you have a low-sulfur version of buttermilk.

1 cup rolled oats

Put the oats in a bowl and pour the soured milk over them and let them soak for at least 10 minutes.

1 1/4 cup all purpose flour

3 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp nutritional yeast

Add in the rest of the ingredients and stir until just mixed.  If the batter is too thick, add a tiny bit more milk.  Pour the batter out by 1/3 cup fulls into a hot skillet and cook each side until very lightly browned.

These pancakes taste really good with fruit on top.  If you like bananas, they're good banana pancakes, too.

Enjoy!

Chicken Stir Fry (recipe)

We love vegetables. In fact, we love tons of vegetables. This stir fry nearly fell out of the wok it was so loaded with lovely vegetables. This is what we made tonight using the Coconut Aminos version of no-soy sauce.

1-1/2 - 2 pounds of chicken breast sliced into strips

2-4 tablespoons coconut aminos

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

4 tablespoons cooking oil

2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

3-4 tablespoons fish sauce (anchovies water and salt, primarily)

2 red bells peppers sliced

2 green bell peppers sliced

1 or 2 shitake mushrooms sliced

2 small zucchini very thinly sliced

1 8 ounce can of bamboo shoots strained

1 8 ounce can of water chestnuts strained

Place coconut aminos and lemon juice in with sliced raw chicken and cover and refrigerate for an hour or more to marinate. Use a wok. When the chicken is marinated, heat cooking oil over medium high heat, and sauté the ginger just until soft and then throw in the chicken over higher heat with its marinade sauce. Keep it moving, it cooks quickly! Cook for only 3-5 minutes, then put in the fish sauce, the pepper, and the sesame oil. Stir for another 30 seconds then add all the vegetables and stir fry for another 3 or 4 minutes until vegetables are still crispy but infused with the sauce. Remove from heat.

Serve with Jasmine rice for a great low sulfur Chinese stir fry dish.

Namaste,
