Why another little cookbook?

My gosh… we all have so many darn cookbooks in our kitchens and don’t use ½ of them… in fact we might pull them out and look at them and then never use them at all! I know I have.

 These are my personal favorites… Clients always ask me “what do you eat?” … well, here it is… recipes of what I eat on a weekly basis! I might add a few other simpler items for in-between quicker meals.

 I have shared a number of these recipes with clients who have reported back with RAVE reviews. So I can safely say these are “tried and true”!

 For vegan options simply substitute tofu or beans for meat. For meat options simply use meat instead of beans or tofu. All are gluten free and dairy free (use vegan “milks” / “yogurts”). This is an overall cookbook. If you are on a more restricted plan (ie. No grains, just google PALEO RECIPES and you’ll find tons)

 You can “meal prep” for the week every single one of these dishes. I cook for 1 or 2 at a time and I “meal prep” the leftovers by putting in to smaller Pyrex dishes and freezing. That allows me to have an easy lunch or quick dinner for just myself as needed.

Do let me know how you like these… and feel free to share and experiment on your own.

With all my love,

Dr. Marie

Quick and Healthy Oil-Free Sauces

The formulas below produce salad dressings that allow the flavors of your salad vegetables shine rather than cover them up and make the whole salad taste like the dressing (think balsamic vinaigrette vs ranch). The measurements are approximate but will yield enough dressings for one large salad shared by 4 people. Feel free to adjust the proportions to your taste.

To make meals taste great, just add your favorite oil-free sauces (ie. Water, gluten free soy sauce, vegetable broth, red or white wine, sherry, rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar, tomato juice, lemon/lime juice, Mexican salsa, mustard, oil-free ketchup, and/or vegan Worcestershire sauce)

  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar + 1 tsp Dijon mustard + ½ tsp agave/maple syrup + 2 Tbsp water. Whisk together and add to your salad before serving.
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic/apple cider vinegar + 1-2 tsp fruit preserves of your choice + 2 Tbsp water. Whisk and add to your salad.
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar + 1 Tbsp lime juice + 1 tsp agave syrup + dash of turmeric + dash of ground ginger (or ½ tsp fresh grated ginger) + 1 Tbsp chopped fresh scallions (green parts) (optional) + 2 Tbsp water = light Asian-inspired vinaigrette dressing. Whisk and add to your salad.
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar + 1 tsp mustard + ½ tsp agave/maple syrup + dried Italian herbs of choice + 2 Tbsp water. Whisk and allow to rest for 5-10 min before adding to your salad.
  • 1 Tbsp hummus + 1 tsp lemon/lime juice + ½ to 1 tsp agave/maple syrup + 2 Tbsp water. Whisk and add to your salad before serving.
  • 1 Tbsp tahini + 1 tsp lemon/lime juice + ½ tsp agave syrup + 2 Tbsp water. Whisk and add to your salad.
  • 2-3 tbsp of your favorite salsa, added directly to your salad before serving.
  • ¼ – ½ ripe avocado, massaged into the greens of your salad before the rest of the vegetables are added, then topped with a squeeze of lemon/lime juice. Note: this works best on thicker-textured greens like kale.
  • 2 Tbsp of hummus, massaged into the greens the same way as in #8 above, then topped with a squeeze of lemon/lime juice. The same note applies as above.

VEGAN MAYO

  • ¾ c cashews softened (put in 2 cup water and microwave for 15 minutes, drain)
  • 3.5 oz. silken tofu organic
  • 1 tbsp oil optional (or leave out)
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½-3/4 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp of sugar of choice
  • 1 pinch of black salt
  • ¼ c water (may use a little less than 1/4c)

Blend all in high speed blender, chill in fridge for a few hours before use (keeps for 5 days)

RANCH DRESSING

  • 1 cup of vegan mayo (ideally oil free)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1tsp dried parsley → I used fresh
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/4tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • 3-5 tbsp dairy-free milk
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped chives or green onions (1.5tbsp)

Blend in blender. May chill but great to use immediately.

VEGAN ALFREDO SAUCE

1 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight, drained and rinsed

3/4 cup water

2 garlic cloves, peeled

1/2 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 cup diced onion

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp dried rosemary

1/4 tsp black pepper

After the cashews have soaked overnight (or at least 6 hours), drain and rinse them.

Add the cashews and all other ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth; it may take up to 5 minutes in blender… add more liquid as needed.

Use immediately in a recipe or store in a sealed container in the fridge for 2 days

Then choose the veggies 
carrots, chopped
potatoes, peeled and chopped
zucchini, chopped
medium onion, chopped
red pepper, chopped

Rotini SALAD

A plate of food

Description automatically generated with medium confidence

I have to say… it’s probably the best thing I’ve eaten all year. A little extra prep and work but worth it.

It has been stated that if vegans only eat salad… it should be this one!

INGREDIENTS

TOFU FETA (Can be left out)

1 8oz block of firm or extra firm tofu (organic) diced into little small cubes

2 cloves of garlic

1 tsp of olive oil (or leave out)

2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp maple syrup

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp onion powder

PASTA:

9 0z pkg of dry fusilli (Rotini) pasta gluten free

DRESSING:

3/4 cup vegan mayo

1/2 cucumber, diced

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp sea salt + 1/2 tsp black pepper

TO SERVE: 10 cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 onion minced

½ cucumber cut up

1 cup of arugula/spinach chopped

DIRECTIONS

FOR THE TOFU FETA:

dice the tofu into small sections. Put tofu along with the rest of the “feta” ingredients into a container, add 1 cup of water and shake to coat the tofu completely. Then allow to marinate for at least 2 hours up to 1 week prior to making salad. I marinated overnight for mine.

FOR THE PASTA: Make according to package directions. It’s very key to rinse under cold water for 1 full minute and allow to cool off! set aside while making dressing.

FOR THE DRESSING:

place all ingredients in a blender and blend for 1.5 full minutes

TO SERVE: in a large bowl toss all veggies and “feta” with pasta then pour dressing over and mix lightly to your taste. I didn’t even use all the dressing… it’s up to you how wet you want it.

EXTRA:

I added in air-fried tofu that I cut in triangles (cut up 1 block of extra firm tofu into THIN triangles, coated with seasoning of choice (I USED DELICIOU BRAND CHICKEN SEASONING) and placed in air fryer 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Served hot over cold salad. SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!!

While rice is cooking start the “meat” mixture”… in a non-stick pot add oil/vegan stock, onions mixture, garlic, bell pepper, kale, and seasonings and stir with medium heat till onions are translucent – stirring often. Add in “meat” and cook thoroughly. Keep mixture from sticking by stirring often. Once rice is cooked start adding rice to the “meat and veggie” pot until you have the desired amount of rice to “meat” ratio that you like.

Serve with a side of beans, veggies or enjoy all alone. Can be rolled into a tortilla or stuffed into a bell pepper and cooked. Use your imagination and enjoy! I like it simply with a vegan/gluten free biscuit.

3 cloves garlic, minced

1.5 tablespoon gluten free Italian seasoning (I used BASIC BLEND ORIGINAL rough cut spice blend)

1/2 cup diced onions

1.5 bell pepper diced

1 full VERY large broccoli bunch stem cut off

10-12 baby red potatoes, halved or quartered

1/4 cup freshly grated vegan Parmesan (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning and onions; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cut 2 sheets of foil, about 12-inches long. Or simply use a lined glass 9”x12” roasting tray. Cut up broccoli into smaller flowerets. Divide broccoli, bell peppers and potatoes into 2 equal portions and add to the center of each foil in a single layer. Fold up all 4 sides of each foil packet. Spoon the garlic & seasoning mixture over the broccoli and potatoes. Fold the sides of the foil over the vegetables, covering completely and sealing the packets closed. Place foil packets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until tender, 1 hour. Serve immediately, sprinkled with VEGAN Parmesan and parsley, if desired.

WHY IT’S A SMART CHOICE

This recipe is a great source of potassium, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and calcium. New research is also showing that increasing your potassium intake is just as important for keeping a healthy blood pressure as lowering your sodium intake and is perfect for those with adrenal fatigue.

Vegan Crab Cakes

Stove Top RECIPE

Ingredients:

1     15 oz can garbanzo beans, rinsed. Save liquid
2     14 oz cans hearts of palm, drained & rinsed
6     tablespoons reserved garbanzo bean liquid
1/4  cup vegan mayonnaise (Vegenaise brand)
2     tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2     teaspoons vegan worcestershire sauce (*see note)
2     teaspoons mustard
1/2  cup green onion, diced
1/2  tablespoon dulse flakes/granules or kelp flakes/granules 
1     tablespoon of dried parsley
1     teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning  (or any seafood gluten free seasoning)
1/2  teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
1/2  teaspoon garlic powder
1     cup of vegan GLUTEN FREE breadcrumbs (Chickpea crumbs brand)
1/4  cup of preferred oil, for pan-frying (divided) or use non-stick pans like SCAN PAN

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a food processor add the garbanzo beans and hearts of palm together. Pulse just a few times to break it up. Don’t pulse too many times or it will turn to mush. It should have a crab-like consistency. You can also do this manually; just use a fork or your hands to shred everything up. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the reserved liquid (from the beans) well. Then add the vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, mustard and all the dry seasonings. Whisk to combine well.

Now add the bread crumbs, green onion, and hearts of palm and garbanzo bean mixture. Gently fold to combine. Taste for salt or seasoning, add more if needed. Pop the mixture in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. This helps the mixture stay together a bit better.

Place enough breadcrumbs onto a shallow plate that will coat patties evenly. Take mixture out of freezer. Place about 1/4 cup of mixture into your hands to form a ball. Then gently flatten to form it into a patty shape. Coat patty in the bread crumbs on each side. Place aside and continue until the mixture is gone.

Heat a large skillet on medium heat (about 2-3 minutes). Add about 2 tablespoons of oil and wait until it gets hot and shimmery before adding the patties. If you place the patty on the pan and you hear it sizzle, it’s ready.

Place about 4-5 patties on your pan at one time, but make sure you don’t overcrowd the pan because they won’t cook properly. Pan-fry them about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until light golden brown. Try to only flip each patty once. When done, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Wipe out pan before the uncooked patties are added. Add tiny amount of fresh oil and continue until all patties are complete.

Serve hot with vegan tartar sauce, a lemon wedge and top with chopped green onions. Enjoy!

*This recipes yields 10-12 cakes, using about 1/4 cup of mixture for each one.

*Worcestershire isn’t typically vegan, but there are vegan versions to choose from. I purchase Annie’s Organic Vegan Worcestershire Sauce  and there are others on the market. Make sure to read the labeling before purchase. If you can’t find vegan Worcestershire sauce, you can use low-sodium COCONUT SECRETS COCONUT AMINOS.

Description automatically generated

Equipment : Muffin pan

Ingredients

  • 80 grams almond flour (make sure to use tigernut flour instead of almond flour if you’re on AIP or nut free)
  • 50 grams arrowroot see notes below for substitutions
  • 125 grams coconut yogurt see notes for substitutions

  • In a large bowl, put the yogurt, olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Mix well with a spoon.
  • In another bowl combine the almond (or tigernut) flour, arrowroot, baking soda and salt.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until well combined.
  • Line or lightly oil a muffin pan. Fill 6 muffin cups with batter. (Number of muffin cups is important).
  • Bake for 20 minutes. To make sure that they are cooked, insert a thin bladed knife into the centre of one biscuit. The knife should come out clean. And voilà! Let them cool down before removing them from the pan. Bon appétit !

Notes

Although I spend quite a lot of time converting all my recipes to cups (yes, manually, in my kitchen!) I highly recommend using a scale and measuring for weight rather than using cups. The reason for this is, apart from the whole debate on accuracy, the density of certain gluten free flours and starches differ a lot from one brand to another. Also keep in mind that all cups are not the same size all around the world which makes another good reason to use a scale so you won’t get this issue.

Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is calculated using a nutrition facts calculator. It is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.

Coconut yogurt substitutions: you can use any other kind of non dairy yogurt according to your own diet. If you’re not dairy free, vegan, paleo nor AIP, you can also use dairy yogurt. For a yogurt free version of this recipe blend 80g (½ cup + 2 Tablespoons) green plantain with 4 Tablespoons water.

Arrowroot substitutions: If you are not cassava intolerant you can use tapioca starch/flour (both tapioca and arrowroot are paleo and AIP compliant). If you are not on AIP nor Paleo diets you can use potato starch or corn starch instead of arrowroot.

This recipe makes 6 biscuits. No more, no less. For best result, I highly recommend making 6 biscuits. I have tried making 5 and in my opinion it’s best to stick to 6 biscuits.
