Recipe please! :)

I figure if you can eat it, so can I ;) ....... I'm just starting this candida thing and need food with flavor. <_<

Oh me-oh-my-oh, it seems like it'd be a challenge to make a bad one. I couldn't believe how varied the recipes were, as far as qtys/ratios of basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic.

Somewhere ....need to find them .. . .I have a few sheets w/ 10-12 classic versions. I think I use the nuttiest one, since the parmesan is a no-no.

And that's not even delving into all the other varieties - seems any leaf/nut combo can be pesto.

But the classic is basil/pine.

I don't make it often enough to remember salt/pepper measurements (one batch lasts me awhile, w/ most put into ice cube tray for freezing, then cubes into freezer bag)

One problem for me was that recipes will measure the basil in cups but it's bought in ounces. There may be a 400% diff in lightly packed vs slightly packed!!!!

If ya have a Trader Joe's, they have a good sized container, 4 oz, for <$3.

Many stores sell the teensy ~0.75oz packet for almost $2!!!

So . .. ..<checking kitchen for which scoop I use> I use 1/2 cup of toasted pine nuts w/ the 4oz basil.

Some ppl (most?) toast in a dry skillet, shaking or flipping them around often but that's too much standing for me so I just bake @250F for ~10-12min, starting from cold oven. No idea of the timing for pre-heated. They're done when ya smell 'em.

Got mortar & pestle? :o

Neither do I, so I toss the leaves, toasted nuts & 3-6 cloves of garlic & however much salt&pepper my sheet says (salt = 2x pepper) (maybe I should track down the sheet) & rarely a bit of lemon juice (and sometimes squirting a little on it when using the pesto later) into a food processor.

Hmmmm how much extra virgin olive oil??

Needs a good oil, btw, since it's not cooked & part of the flavor.

I'll guess I'd start w/ maybe 1/4 c evoo (not measured).

Starting amount matters little since once it's all somewhat mixed together the KEY is drizzling evoo thru the hole while pulsing or mixing until the pesto is the desired consistency, which is . ....uhhh . ..blobby? Is that a useful or useless word?

Precise consistency doesn't matter much either because serving consistency gets adjusted when using it.

With pasta, use pasta water. It "wakes up" the pesto to a brighter green. As does a surprisingly small amt of lemon juice.

Besides w/ pasta dishes, I'll coat skinless chicken breasts or salmon before baking - it goes on like frosting a cake. Ohhhhhh SO delish!!!!!!

Yipes I wrote a lot but feel like I forgot sumfin .. . .. :huh:

Soooooooo many variations - wouldn't surprise me if there's a dandelion greens w/ pistachios version. Or 20 of those.

And I bet all are tasty too!!

shooooo! I finally caught up again. Full of chicken chili and hoping ready to get going

My grandmother used to eat dandelion greens!!!! I remember helping her to pick the greens. As a treat she let me help her fix them and eat them......a huge bag boiled down to almost nothing....and after all of that they were nasty! <_<

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.
    • trents
      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.
    • Scott Adams
      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      I would only add that cross contamination with wheat may still be a possibility, so it's still best to seek out buckwheat that is labeled "gluten-free."

      Hello, I've been diagnosed with IBS since I was little. I’ve visited many doctors because my intestines have always been very reactive to food. I have chronic swelling, and I struggle to gain weight. This year has been worse than others: I started noticing fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and many digestive problems, especially after consuming products with gluten. My doctor suggested that this might be due to some imbalance of gut bacteria, so I started taking Bifidobacterium Infantis supplements. However, my symptoms have been getting worse every day. I experience nausea, frequent abdominal pain, migraines, and palpitations after eating. I had these symptoms before, but now they are more intense. I thought I might have Non-celiac gluten sensitivity or Celiac Disease, so I took a home test for Celiac, and it came out negative (though there may have been an error—I was nervous and accidentally contaminated the sample with air bubbles). Based on your experiences, should I pursue further medical exams for Celiac? I’m worried about being underweight and about my blood test results, which, even if still within normal ranges, have been declining each year.
