Orange, Cranberry & Pecan Coffee Cake

by Dr. Kellyann on May 03 2014
Prep time: 15 min • Cook time: 12 to 15 min • Yield: 8 servings Equipment 8- or 9-inch round cake pan Ingredients 2 cups blanched almond flour ¾ teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup pecans, coarsely chopped ¼ cup dried unsweetened cranberries 1 tablespoon orange zest (do not use white pith) 1 egg ¼ cup honey 1 teaspoon pure orange extract or ½ teaspoon orange oil (you can use vanilla if you don’t have the orange extract/oil) Coconut oil pan spray or 1 teaspoon coconut oil, melted Directions  Preheat oven to 350º F. Spray pan with coconut oil or brush with melted coconut oil. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, pecans, and cranberries. In a smaller bowl combine remaining wet ingredients: orange zest, egg, honey, and orange extract and mix well. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients ­­­and mix well.  You may need to knead dough in the bowl a few times to insure all ingredients are thoroughly blended. Turn dough out into prepared pan and spread evenly. Dough will be thick and sticky. Cut dough as you would a pie into 8 evenly-sized slices. This will make it easier to remove from pan when cool. Bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes. When edges and top are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out dry, it is done. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before removing from pan. Rescore the slices with a sharp knife, remove slices with a metal spatula, and serve. Notes: If you choose, you can glaze the coffee cake. Mix 2 tablespoons powdered coconut sugar with 1 tablespoon orange juice and stir vigorously until smooth. When cool, drizzle over coffee cake in a zigzag pattern.

Ham and Asparagus Frittata

by Dr. Kellyann on May 03 2014
Prep time: 15 min • Cook time: 30 to 35 min • Yield: 4 servings Equipment An 8- to 9-inch frying pan that can be used in the oven or a 1½ to 2-quart oven-proof casserole Ingredients 3 teaspoons ghee, divided 1 cup asparagus, cut diagonally in to 1-inch lengths 1/8 cup shallots, chopped 4 to 5 ounces ham, sugar- and nitrite free, cubed or sliced into 1-inch pieces 8 large eggs ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg Directions Preheat oven to 350º F. Place 2 teaspoon ghee in a large nonstick skillet on medium heat and sauté scallions and asparagus for about 4 to 5 minutes. Grease casserole with 1 teaspoon melted ghee. (If you are baking in the same skillet, you don’t need the additional teaspoon of butter; just add ham and go to next step.) Remove vegetables from skillet and spread evenly in the baking pan. Add ham, sprinkling evenly over the vegetables. In a medium bowl crack eggs, add salt, pepper, and nutmeg and whisk until blended. Pour egg mixture into baking pan. Bake uncovered for about 30 to 35 minutes until the frittata is set. Test by inserting a knife in the center. If it comes out dry, the frittata is done.  Let cool for about 15 minutes before slicing. Notes: The frittata will puff up in the oven. When you remove it and it begins to cool, it will deflate.

Southwestern Salmon with Cilantro Pesto

by Dr. Kellyann on Apr 20 2014
Prep time: 25 min • Cook Time: 8-10 min • Yield: 4 servings Equipment Food processor Salmon Ingredients  4 (4 to 6 ounce) salmon steaks or fillets Coconut oil spray 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, about 1 lime ½ teaspoon smoked paprika ½ teaspoon cumin ¼ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon sea salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper Dash of cayenne 4 teaspoons maple syrup or raw honey Cilantro Salsa Ingredients ½ cup raw sliced almonds, toasted 2 cups cilantro leaves, lightly packed 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, about 1 lime 1 to 2 cloves garlic 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon pepper 1/8 teaspoon hot sauce, i.e. Cholula Salmon Directions  Preheat broiler to high and position rack 6-inches below heat source. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray/brush foil with coconut oil. (Do not use parchment paper. It will catch on fire!) Place salmon on baking sheet, leaving room between the pieces for even cooking and pour lime juice over fish. Mix all spices and seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly on fish. Spray top of fish lightly with coconut oil. Broil 5 to 8 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish). When the fish is almost done, remove from oven, drizzle maple syrup/honey over fish and broil for another 1 to 2 minutes. Cilantro Pesto Directions Process almonds until they become almost powdery. Add cilantro leaves, lime juice, and garlic and continue to process until the cilantro is well chopped. With motor running, add the olive oil, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings. Store covered in the refrigerator.  To serve, top fish with pesto and serve with a fresh slice of lime. Notes: You can grill the salmon if you choose. The Cilantro Pesto is also excellent with chicken, beef, or lamb. Try it on top of a burger or serve with grilled lamb kabobs. Pesto will last for about one week in refrigerator, or longer if you seal the top with olive oil. It also freezes well.

Soup's On! Apple Kabocha Squash Soup

by Dr. Kellyann on Jan 26 2014
Warm your bones all season long with this fall-in-a-bowl soup, featuring creamy squash, sweet apples, and flavorful spices. Scroll down for Dr. Kellyann diet/program compatibility. Prep time: 10 min • Cook time: 2 hr • Yield: 8 cups or 2 quarts Ingredients 1 medium kabocha squash, about 2-pounds 3 medium leeks to yield about 1 cup sliced, just the white part 1 tablespoon ghee 2 medium-size sweet apples (like Fuji), to yield 2 – 2 ½ cups sliced apples 6 cups chicken stock, divided, or 6 cups of Dr. Kellyann Chicken Broth ½ - 1 tablespoon garam masala spice ½ - 1 tablespoon sea salt, depends on the saltiness of your stock Directions  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Carefully cut squash into 6 pieces and remove seeds. Place squash face side down in a shallow pan. Add about ½ inch water and roast for about one hour until flesh is soft. While the squash is roasting, slice leeks into ¼ inch disks and wash thoroughly. Slice apples into thin slices. In a soup kettle, melt ghee. Add leeks and cook on low for 10 minutes. Add apples and 1 cup broth and simmer, covered, on medium-low until apples and leeks are tender and leeks are translucent, about 20 minutes. Add remaining 5 cups broth to kettle. In a small sauté pan, warm garam masala on very low heat until it becomes fragrant, and set aside. (Optional, but suggested; see tips below.) When the squash is done, peel off skin with a paring knife and add to kettle. In an electric blender, blend soup in batches until it is smooth and creamy and return to kettle. Add garam masala and salt to taste . Leave on very low heat for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Tips and Notes: Garam masala is a blend of ground aromatic spices common in North Indian and other South Asian cuisines, and you can find it in most grocery stores. Step 8, is optional, but roasting spices uses gentle heat to release the spice's hidden aromatic and flavorful oils. Bringing out the full flavor often makes the spice earthier, richer, and fuller. The beauty of most soups is that they are very forgiving and allow for individual flavor adjustments. If you like a sweeter soup, add more apples. If you have your favorite spice blend use it instead of garam masala. If you want more pungency, use onions instead of leeks. If you like your soup thinner, add more chicken stock. No rules…. You can use other winter squash for this recipe, but I’ve found kabocha to be the creamiest and most flavorful, and more robust than other squash. The soup is even better after a day or two when the flavors have melded, and it freezes well. The recipe easily doubles but you may need to adjust the garam masala. You can share the squash seeds with the birds, or roast them for snacking. To roast: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Thoroughly wash seeds in a bowl of cool water to remove all the flesh, and thoroughly dry. Melt 1 teaspoon(s) coconut oil and toss seeds in oil. Lightly season with sea salt.  Spread seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes. Watch them carefully for the last 5 minutes because they can burn quickly. When cool, store in a sealed container at room temperature. Dr. Kellyann Diet & Program Compatibility This soup is compatible with: Cleanse & Reset (use as your soup for dinner) 10-Day Belly Slimdown and Bone Broth Diet (skip the apples and use 4 cups of broth instead of 6) 80/20 Maintenance/Bone Broth Lifestyle

Stir to combine, increase heat, and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Cover and reduce heat so sauce is just kept warm.  When the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through (about 25- to 30-minutes), add them to the tomato sauce to keep them warm. Leave the spaghetti squash in the oven to bake for an additional 10-minutes.  Remove the squash from the oven and, using a hot pad to hold it, scrape the inside with a fork to shred the squash into spaghetti-like strands.

Roasted Vegetable Sandwiches

by Dr. Kellyann on Aug 11 2013
Prep time: 15 min • Cook time: 15 min • Yield: 2 servings Ingredients 1 medium bell pepper, any color, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 small Italian eggplant, cut into 1-inch chunks ½ cup carrot rings ½ cup sliced onions 2 teaspoons olive oil Fine sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste Balsamic vinegar, to taste Iceberg lettuce leaves 4 tablespoons coconut cream Directions Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Set aside. Combine vegetables in a bowl with oil. Toss well. Spread the vegetables on the baking sheet. Roast the vegetables for 10-minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely. Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Use lettuce leaves as "bread" to make those sandwiches and top the vegetables and top with a spoonful of coconut cream. Notes To convert this into a salad, serve the vegetables over a bed of greens or chop the Romaine lettuce and add 1 cup fresh diced tomatoes or grape or cherry tomatoes. Coconut cream is similar to milk, but is much thicker, with a creamy consistency. Unshaken, full-fat, coconut milk will collect a couple of inches of "cream" on the top. If you can find coconut cream, use coconut milk. To whip coconut milk to a whipped cream consistency, chill an unopened can of coconut milk for 8 or more hours. Chill a glass or metal mixing bowl in the freezer for one or more hours. Carefully open the can of coconut milk (or cream) and spoon the thick cream that has collected on top and transfer to the chilled bowl. Whip the "cream" with an electric mixer until fluffily, like whipped cream. If you'd like your whipped coconut "cream" sweet,  add a bit of coconut sugar near the end of the whipping.
