CLICK HERE to support this podcast! LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 111 MaryLou's Faux Scalloped Au Gratin Potatoes Put all ingredients, except cheese, in a sauce pan over low to medium heat cover and sauté for 25-30 minutes stirring occasionally until they are the softened. After 20 minutes add cheese and continue cooking over low heat MaryLou's Collards and Kale This recipe seems so simple and yet it is never the first thing people think of. It is a great way to get in broth when you are eating a real food nutritional approach. We have this at least 4-6 nights a week it is delicious. When we eat chicken we boil thighs in the broth for 15-20 minutes and then season skin on thigh and broil for 5 minutes or so to crisp (best fried chicken without coating with bad ingredients). Collard Green Fill Dutch oven half way with water (the Dutch oven cooks collards faster) Add bouillon paste to taste (I add a spoon full at a time, mix well and taste the broth and if it is to watered down I will add more paste or if it is to strong I will add more water). Add Collards and Kale (I use a handful of each and that depends on the size of the pot and the amount of water you added) boil covered for approximately 15 minutes and you are done! |

Registered dietitian and diabetes educator Amy Hager joins our host Dietitian Cassie along with special guest co-host licensed nutritionist and health coach Amy Ranae today in Episode 110 of "Low-Carb Conversations With Jimmy Moore & Friends!" We would sincerely love to have your monetary donations for this podcast if you like what you're hearing on this listener-supported, health headline-driven podcast. CLICK HERE to make a contribution of any amount to help us keep the educated opinions and views from the Paleo, low-carb, real food perspective from our highly-respected hosts and guest friends. THANK YOU SO MUCH! In today's episode, our host Dietitian Cassie invites on a fellow Minnesotan and real food nutrition geek in Amy Ranae from "Healthy Simple Life" along with guest friend and registered dietitian Amy Hager from "Bee Happy Life." Listen in as Cassie, Amy and Amy share their thoughts about a pregnant woman being asked to leave the gym for exposing her belly, the world's most expensive foods, an op-ed from a physician who would rather have HIV than diabetes, debating if calories are all the same or not, whether buying organic foods are worth it, a new simple blood test that predicts whether you will die in the next five years, and one family's experience giving up sugar for a year. Plus, don't miss the cooking tips and Amy Hager's Veggie Flax Wraps recipe at the end. So, pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and let's talk! CLICK HERE to support this podcast! LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 110 Amy Hager's Veggie Flax Wraps Place carrots and onion into a food processor and blend until finely ground. About 30 seconds will create this consistency. Transfer to a bowl. Add 1 cup of flax meal and 2 Tbs of tamari/aminos and garlic powder. Mix until blended into a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, you may add a tablespoon of water or 2 until the dough like consistency is achieved. If you have a large dehydrator: Remove the dough ball and spread onto dehydrator sheet covered with teflex and spread to a 1/4 inch thickness. Try to keep the thickness consistent and avoid thin spots. Place in dehydrator set at 120 degrees. After 2 hours, take the sheet out and gently flip it over. Peel back the lining and place back in dehydrator for another hour. Otherwise, spread onto a parchment or silicone lined cookie sheet and bake (again aim for consistent thickness). Place in oven warmed to 150 degrees. Check on the wrap after an hour an a half to see pliable the corners are. If not totally mushy, it's ready to flip and peel off the parchment paper. Return to oven or another hour. After the wraps have cooled a bit, you can slice them into whatever shapes or sizes you like. I find this recipe easily creates 6 individual wraps suitable for rolling veggies, tuna or your favorite combinations. Each serving has about 150 calories, 10 grams carbs, 13 grams fat and 8 grams protein. Made with 100% REAL food! |

I have a simple recipe for yogurt that can be as full fat as you want it to be. 1. Take 4 to 6 cups of whole milk (highest quality you can buy) 2. If you want a fuller fat recipe, substitute one cup or more of the milk with heavy cream 3. Heat the milk/cream to 180 degrees, stirring constantly and take off the burner. 4. Cool the mixture to 110 degrees then add 1/2 to 1 cup of room temperature unsweetened yogurt and mix. 5. poor the mixture into a glass or plastic container and seal with a lid. 6. Place the container in a water bath in a slow cooker with a programable temp guage set for 110 degrees. (if you don't have this type of slow cooker, I've heard you can turn on the light in your oven and set your yogurt inside and that will be about 110.) 7. Let it sit for 10 to 12 hours. Once the yogurt is solid you can put it in the fridge. 8. If you want a thicker yogurt, strain out the whey water using 4 layers of cheese cloth. I've done this recipe many times and it's amazing how easy it is and how good the yogurt is. I once did a batch with 4 cups of whole milk to 2 cups heavy cream. Once I strained it, it was a thick as cream cheese! |

Paleo blogger and cookbook author Tammy Credicott and health enthusiast Steve Parke join our host Dietitian Cassie along with special guest co-host and registered dietitian Eliana Witchell today in Episode 107 of "Low-Carb Conversations With Jimmy Moore & Friends!" It's the special day each week that we set aside to take a closer look at some recent health headlines from a low-carb, Paleo, and real food perspective. There are so many voices out there opining about what you should think about diet and healthy living, but it's good to get educated thoughts and ideas from various people in the alternative nutritional health community.
