Sugar, Gluten, and Dairy Free Low Fat Banana Nut Muffins

I am excited that these actually tasted good.

2-3 over-ripe mashed  bananas

2 eggs (beaten)

1 tbsp of baking stevia

1 tsp of vanilla

2 tsp of cinnamon

1/2 tsp of nutmeg

1/4 tsp of salt

1/2 tsp of baking soda

1/2 tsp of baking powder

1 1/4 cup of gluten free all purpose flour

3/4 tsp of xanthan gum (I can't spell this)

1/2 cup of chopped walnut

Combine bananas, eggs, vanilla, and spices in one bowl.  Sift together remaining dry ingredients.  Stir into wet mixture.  (Mix will be a bit thicker than gluten filled muffin batter) Fold in your walnuts.

Use two spoons to drop into a 12 muffin try and back for 15-20mins at 350o. Poke with a toothpick and if it comes out clean they are done.

GERD Friendly Yeast Busting Chili

1 med. Onion chopped
4-5 cloves of garlic chopped
1 tbsp of oil
Hamburger or veggie ground
Mixture of peppers (not green - green is too high in ph)
Grated Zucchini (1 cup or so?)
Grated carrots (1/2 cup)
Egg plant chopped
1 can of kidney beans
1 can of bean medley
Frozen corn (optional - I don't add it anymore as I am supposed to avoid it)
Sometimes I add a bit of spinach if I have it.
1 can of butternut squash
carrot juice (enough to have chili meet a desired consistency)
1 tsp of chili
1 tsp of cumin
1/2 tsp of Cayenne pepper
1 tsp of oregano
1 tsp of basil
dash of celery salt
dash of flax
salt and pepper to taste

I fry my onion and garlic in a bit of oil in the pot I plan to use before I add the hamburger.  Once my hamburger is brown, I add my vegetables. Once they begin to get soft (5-10mins) I add my beans, squash and carrot juice. Once they have heated, I turn the chili down to simmer, add my spices and let sit at least 1/2 hour.  Then I enjoy with some avocado, shredded Cheddar goat cheese and baked pita chips. 


Baked Pita Chips

Take pita and cut into triangles. Lay on a cookie sheet. Spray with olive oil and bake at 375o for 15 mins or until toasted.
