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!!

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Since 2015 we've spent extensive time in Italy and I've been able to eat their wheat products without incident. Initially, I was practically starving thinking foods in Sicily were not gluten-free.  An Italian friend who had lived in the US for over 20 years said she had celiac/gluten-free friends from the US who could eat Italian wheat products without problems. Hesitantly, I tried little by little without issues.  A few years later at a market, I asked a bread vendor if they had gluten-free loaves. Turns out she had lived in LA, said groups believe it's not the gluten that's causing our bodies harm, but potassium bromate; these groups have been trying to ban it.  Bromines and other halogens wreaks havoc to our endocrine system and, more specifically, our thyroids and immune systems. When bromines are ingested/absorbed into the body, it displaces iodine causing other health issues. Potassium bromate is a powerful oxidizing agent (dough 'conditioner') that chemically changes flour to enhance elasticity, bleaches the dough, and ages the flour much faster than open air.   Shortly thereafter while visiting friends in California, one family said they had gone gluten-free and the difference was incredible. The reason they choose this path was due them (a biologist/chemist/agriculturist scientist) having to write a portion of a paper about a certain product for the company he worked. Another company's scientist was directed to write the other portion. All was confidential, they weren't allowed to know the other company/employee.  After the research, they learned gluten was being removed from wheat, sent elsewhere, returned in large congealed blocks resembling tofu, and then added to wheat products. Potassium bromate has been banned for use in Europe, China, and other countries, but not in the US. Then we have the issues of shelf preservatives and stabilizers. What are we eating?  Why? We spend long periods of time in Italy and all has been good.  We just returned from an extended time in Greece;  no issues there either.  There is a man there we learned about on a travel show about Greece who walks the hills, picking herbs, pods, etc.  He is a very learned scholar, taught at the university level in Melbourne. It took a few days to locate him, but were finally successful. He too, is concerned about the additives and preservatives in American food (many of his customers are Americans, haven't been in the best of health, and have become healthier after visiting him). He suggested taking a food product from the US and the same product in Europe, and compare the different ingredients. Then ask why these things are being allowed in the US by the 'watch dog' of our foods and drugs. It would be amuzing if it weren't tragic. I'm presently looking for flour from Europe that I can make my own bread and pasta as the gluten-free bread is now $7.99 a (small) loaf.  BTW, studies are showing that many gluten-free individuals are becoming diabetic. My guess is because the gluten-free products are high in carbs. This is only my experience and opinion garnished by my personal research.  I hope it helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
