Easy-As Recipes - Gluten Free Main Meals Cookbook (Easy-As Gluten Free Recipes)

Easy-As Recipes – Gluten Free Main Meals Cookbook (Easy-As Gluten Free Recipes) by Nicole Hayes (Kindle Edition -Aug 26, 2012)

This book proves gluten free cooking doesn’t need to be difficult or boring. There is something in this list of delicious gluten-free recipes for everyone – stir fries and pies, cook-ahead meals and quick dishes. Most do not require expert cooking skills, just an ability to follow directions and some basic kitchen equipment – a few pans, a frying pan, grill, oven, wooden spoon, knife, and measuring jug – not much more. Some do require you to use a food processor, but even with these it is possible to get the same result in some other way – although perhaps with a little more effort.

Celiac Disease In Children: A Practical Guide For Parents Book No1 (How To Wave Goodbye To The Wheat & Gluten Gremlins) (Celiac Disease In Children: Gluten Free Recipes For Kids)

Celiac Disease In Children: A Practical Guide For Parents Book No1 (How To Wave Goodbye To The Wheat & Gluten Gremlins) (Celiac Disease In Children: Gluten Free Recipes For Kids) by Lynda Fallon (Kindle Edition -May 2, 2012)

Many years prior to being diagnosed, my niece was displaying several symptoms and the major one was a failure to gain weight. Unfortunately, the remedy proposed to counteract this problem at the time was to increase her intake of any foods that would help bulk her out and her mum was encouraged to feed her plenty of pizza, bread, cake and biscuits. I can actually hear many of you gasping in horror. Well, as was to be expected, the failure to gain weight did not dissipate and many other symptoms increased. Blood tests were taken together with a small intestine biopsy and celiac disease was diagnosed. Once the gluten free diet was introduced the changes to my niece’s health, energy and growth were seen in a surprisingly short period of time.

Gluten Free Childrens Book (Illustrated Childrens Book With Gluten Free Recipes for Healthy Eating)

Gluten Free Childrens Book (Illustrated Childrens Book With Gluten Free Recipes for Healthy Eating) by Mary Lime and Lloyd L (Kindle Edition -Oct 30, 2012)

Children suffering from Celiac disease have a rather tough time. While the condition itself is not painful, given that proper treatment is administered, having to deal with a restricted diet can be frustrating and annoying.
Even those who are old enough to understand the reason why they cannot eat the same things their friends eat will have a difficult time keeping track of all the requisites of a diet free from gluten. Parents can help make things a little bit easier by following a few simple guidelines:
Sticking to a gluten-free diet is challenging at any age. It’s a good thing though that a lot of the healthy food items that people are encouraged to eat more of, like fruits and vegetables, do not contain the offending protein.

Easy-As Recipes: 56 Gluten-Free Main Meals (Easy-As Gluten Free Recipes) by Nicole Hayes (Kindle Edition -Oct 12, 2012)

If you suffer from Celiac disease or just want to switch to a gluten free diet, these recipes are for you. Each of the 56 gluten free recipes is a great main meal for a family in which one or more members can’t tolerate gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and triticale).

These dishes will make you feel like you’re eating a regular diet again. There are some vegan recipes, too, for those of you who want to eat vegan, which means you don’t eat meat, dairy or eggs. The food still tastes delicious and can be food your whole family will enjoy. Most recipes serve 6 people so everyone can choose to eat gluten free as well. Enjoy!

Celiac Disease In Children: How To Prepare Fast, Easy & Nutritious GLUTEN FREE BREAKFASTS (Celiac Disease In Children: Gluten Free Recipes For Kids)

Celiac Disease In Children: How To Prepare Fast, Easy & Nutritious GLUTEN FREE BREAKFASTS (Celiac Disease In Children: Gluten Free Recipes For Kids) by Lynda Fallon (Kindle Edition -May 2, 2012)

We are all told continuously how breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the one that certainly shouldn’t be skipped, but in all honesty we probably all feel it is the easiest to skip and if it isn’t skipped it is usually the most hurried during the week.
We are all busy and most of us have trouble getting out of bed so everything is left until last minute. This applies to Mum, Dad and the kids. In a busy household it is usually a time of hustle and bustle, shoving and pushing, shouting and crying. The perfect harmonious breakfast is a luxury, usually only seen at weekends because during the week William can’t find his homework and what’s more is in too much of a strop to look for it. Alice is still in her wardrobe trying to decide if her socks match her hairband, Max doesn’t want to go to school and Florence…Where is Florence and what can she safely have for her breakfast that is fast, filling and nutritious before embarking on her long journey to school?
The breakfast staple and reliable self-serve fast food has now become a nightmare for the celiac child! Or has it?

Paleo Diet Solution : Lose Weight The Easy And Healthy Way With Fat Burning Foods Paleo Diet Guide With Recipes And Meal Plans

Paleo Diet Solution : Lose Weight The Easy And Healthy Way With Fat Burning Foods Paleo Diet Guide With Recipes And Meal Plans by Sofia D’Andrea (Kindle Edition -Sep 14, 2012)

This book is not only created to provide a clearer explanation of what the Paleo diet is but also highlights the long term advantages of adopting this diet plan. Though we have made significant technological advancements over the years we have not been as successful in improving the way we eat. In fact, to be daring it can be said that it has gotten worse.
Processed foods and food filled with preservatives and additives is wreaking havoc on our system. The best way to correct this (which the book clearly states) is to go back to the way in which our ancestors ate. Eat things fresh and cut down on the use of salt and also eat more lean protein and balance it with fresh vegetables and fruits.
Other types of diets can be pretty hard to follow especially those geared to weight loss. A lot of them end up being harmful in the long run. Many say diets don’t work but the Paleo method is simply a way to modify ones diet by cutting out the unhealthy components and allowing the body to get back in peak condition from the cellular level. The best way to learn about it is to get the facts.

The 12 Essential Low Carb Cooking Skills: Plus, 49 Simple, Scrumptious Low Carb Diet Recipes by Alan Kosloff and Adam Kosloff (Kindle Edition -Oct 25, 2012)

Eating low carb is an exercise in trade-offs.
On one hand, powerful science and millions of success stories attest to the amazing fat loss and health benefits of low carb diets, like Atkins and Protein Power. Indeed, carbohydrate restriction may just be a silver bullet capable of preventing or reversing dozens of diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, and even cancer.
On the other hand, cutting carbs kinda sucks! :)
Admit it. All our favorite treats are carb-filled: donuts, cakes, piping hot oven fresh bread, etc. These foods are not only scrumptious, but they’re also superabundant, cheap and easy to prepare.

Smoothies are a fast, simple, and delightfully delicious way to pack an entire meal into a beverage. Smoothies from a grocery or convenience store, however, lack the wonderful flavors and benefits of fresh ingredients, and buying them from juice stands and health bars is expensive and inconvenient.

Free Kindle Healthy Lifestyle eBooks! Paleo, Gluten Free, Low Carb, Wellness, Fitness eBooks Nov.3/12

I love FREE Kindle eBooks from Amazon!

Over 100 Free eBooks today!!!! Lots of new titles and books with very good reviews.

The key to making any kind of lifestyle change is to have tools. It will be important to have resources to be able to transition more smoothly. Recipes were something I needed fast, and exercise and motivation followed closely behind. Free healthy lifestyle eBooks is the cheapest and easiest way to amass information and the tools to get to where you want to be. But these Free eBooks are time sensitive. They aren’t always offered for free. Check the list sooner than later so you can get as many as possible for free. 

Sorry it’s been awhile since I put a list together but I’m not getting very much response to my posts. It takes hours to build these lists. If you wish to see more free healthy lifestyle ebook lists like theses please show me some support. I love to help but I’m not sure it matters. So let me know you want to see more…please.

It appears that Amazon has made a few changes to their Kindle book section, they have introduced Amazon Prime Membership. Membership will give you more free Kindle books, although it appears that they are considered borrowed and will only stay in your collection for 1 month with this paid service. I don’t intend to join, and the free eBooks on this list do not require an Amazon Prime Membership. Free should be free, not free for now for a price. But things may still be changing it seems.

Also new is Kindle Edition eBooks with Audio/Video. NOTE: Audio/Video content only available for iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch devices. No further information is available. You can still download the written portion but unless you have an Apple device you will not be able to hear or view the extra content. It will be a much larger download as well so be aware.

I just checked I have over 900 free Kindle eBooks in my collection! It is a great way to find great recipes and healthy lifestyle information. Many of these are in my own library but I will admit I haven’t read them all. There may be some that don’t follow my  dietary restrictions but sometimes a quick ingredient swap is all they need. I look at it as great reference and they provide me with great ideas and information. Sometimes I just save the recipes I like from these free eBooks to my database for quick reference later.

Don’t have a Kindle? No problem, just set up one of Kindle’s Free Reading Apps like Kindle for PC and save them to your computer, or if you don’t have the extra storage space, there is also Kindle Cloud Reader where you can keep them online. You will have to first set up an Amazon account if you don’t already have one but it’s free and easy too.

I will be checking the post randomly over the weekend to try and keep it up to date. I usually seem to start out with 50+ free eBooks but things can change in minutes.  I guess the quicker you are, the more likely they are to still be free. Sorry if they changed the pricing, sometimes it happens so fast I can’t even believe it!

Please check before downloading to make sure the eBooks are still free, the prices can change at any time. Each picture and title are direct links to the eBook on Amazon.com.

In case you’re wondering…no I don’t make any money if you click on the books, I just want to provide you with a great resource of FREE healthy lifestyle information. If you find some you really like, take the time to leave a rating and review so that others know it’s worth owning and reading. Even better… leave a comment below!

Apple Pie Chips Recipe

Apple Pie Chips

Vegan, Paleo, SCD, GAPS, Gluten-free diet friendly.

I don’t usually share a recipe on the first time I make it but this one is just so easy and so good I just had to!

Crunchy snacks are something I crave and usually break my diet and have potato chips to cure. Now I have a sweet alternative that keeps to my diet. These spices are so good for you too!

Also think they would be great to give as a cookie exchange alternative or just a friendly gift. Sure to be a hit.

Make lots, they won’t last long!

Apple Pie Chips – Healthy New Dawn

Apple Pie Chips

By Dawn Valcourt, October 2012          http://www.healthynewdawn.com

The recipe makes enough apple seasoning mix to dip about 3-5 apples depending on their size.

Ingredients:

  • ½ tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Ginger powder
  • ¼ tsp ground Cloves
  • ½ tsp Nutmeg
  • ¼ cup raw Honey
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 3-5 Apples, variety of choice (Honeycrisp is my pick so far)

Directions:

  1. Preheat Oven to 225 F. Line 2 or 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. (Only do 3 if you have a convection oven).
  2. In a medium size bowl, mix all spices into honey. Then add lemon juice and water to the mix so that the spices don’t end up floating on top.
  3. No peeling, No coring! Using a mandolin with the thinnest slicing blade, slice one apple at a time. If you have big apples like I did, one filled all 3 pans!
  4. Put apple slices into the bowl of liquid and spices carefully, making sure each slice gets coated with the mixture.
  5. Lay the slices on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Depending on the size of the apples you should get 12-16 on each sheet.
  6. Repeat with more apple if necessary until your baking sheets are full.
  7. Bake for 1 ½ hours. Shift the pans at about the 45 minute point, so that they are in different places in the oven then previously.
  8.  Keep a close eye after  this point, exact timing will depend on the oven. When some of the slices start browning around the core they are definitely done.
  9. Remove from oven. They will still be soft when they come out but will get crispy quite quickly.

Hint: Once my pans were in the oven baking, I sliced the next apple for the next batch and put it in the honey and spice solution ( kind of marinating them), storing them in the fridge, until the first ones finished cooking.

I was able to get 9 trays out of one batch of seasoning mix, or roughly 120 chips. It was time consuming but the oven timer did all the work and it was worth it because they won’t last long.

I combined a few different recipes to come up with this one. One of the original recipes said to turn the slices over after 45 minutes, but I found they stayed flatter and packed better, with less breakage, if I just left them stuck to the paper until they were done.

Update Nov 2/2012: I have tested this mix on Honeycrisp, Ambrosia and Gala Apples as well as Anjou Pears so far. The best by far were the Honeycrisp that made the crispiest and largest chips. The pears on the other hand were more like candies than chips.

I love FREE Kindle eBooks from Amazon!

Great list of Free eBooks today! Lots of new titles and books with very good reviews.

Sorry it’s been a while since I was able to publish my healthy lifestyle free Kindle eBook list, I have been traveling northern British Columbia for the past month. I must say it was great to disconnect from all electronic devices during the trip. Visiting Haida Guaii ( formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands) has been on my bucket list for years and was well worth the trip, what a beautiful place full of amazing history. I hope to share a few pictures in the future.

It appears that Amazon has made a few changes in my absence, they have introduced Amazon Prime Membership. Membership will give you more free Kindle books, although it appears that they are considered borrowed and will only stay in your collection for 1 month with this paid service. I don’t intend to join, and the free eBooks on this list do not require an Amazon Prime Membership. Free should be free, not free for now for a price.

I just checked I have over 700 free Kindle eBooks in my collection! It is a great way to find great recipes and healthly lifestyle information. Many of these are in my own library but I will admit I haven’t read them all. There may be some that don’t follow my  dietary restrictions but sometimes a quick ingredient swap is all they need. I look at it as great reference and they provide me with great ideas and information. Sometimes I just save the recipes I like from these free eBooks to my database for quick reference later.

Don’t have a Kindle? No problem, just set up one of Kindle’s Free Reading Apps like Kindle for PC and save them to your computer, or if you don’t have the extra storage space, there is also Kindle Cloud Reader where you can keep them online. You will have to first set up an Amazon account if you don’t already have one but it’s free and easy too.

I will be checking the post randomly over the weekend to try and keep it up to date. I usually seem to start out with 50+ free ebooks but things can change in minutes.  I guess the quicker you are, the more likely they are to still be free. Sorry if they changed the pricing, sometimes it happens so fast I can’t even believe it!

Please check before downloading to make sure the eBooks are still free, the prices can change at any time. Each picture and title are direct links to the eBook on Amazon.com.

In case you’re wondering…no I don’t make any money if you click on the books, I just want to provide you with a great resource of FREE healthy lifestyle information. If you find some you really like, take the time to leave a rating and review so that others know it’s worth owning and reading. Even better… leave a comment below!

Enjoy!!
