Homemade Spaghetti Sauce (tastes a little like Prego)
8 oz tomato sauce
6 oz. tomato paste
28 oz crushed tomatoes
Stevia to taste (original recipe has 1 1/2 T sugar)
2 t. basil
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1 1/2 t. onion salt
3 cloves minced garlic
1 t. Italian seasoning
2 t. worcestershire sauce
Combine all in saucepan and bring to a boil. Serve over brown rice pasta cooked al dente (you could brown your ground beef and add it to your portion to add additional flavor).
This is a great recipe that you can make for your family as well as yourself (I can't afford the brown rice pasta for everyone, so I make my pasta separate from theirs, but this way I have only one sauce to prepare).0 -
No Tortilla Soup (i.e. a Mexican chicken-tomato soup)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
(Phase 1, no oil, but you could saute those in 1 T. oil for phase 3)
2 lbs. chicken breast
28 oz. can diced tomatoes
10 oz. can Rotel (choose the mild one if you don't like things very spicy)
2 cans (14.5 oz each) chicken broth
20 oz. gluten-free, sugar free tomato soup
2 cups water
1 t. ground cumin
1 t. chili powder
2 t. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 t. (or more to taste) Tabasco sauce
"Saute" onions with a little of the broth. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes to blend flavors. Remove chicken and shred with forks. Return to pot. Serve with additional chopped tomatoes, cilantro, or onions. (You could add avocado for Phase 3).0 -
Lemon-Chicken-Rice Soup
1 1/2 quarts chicken broth
2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
1/2 c. uncooked brown rice
1-3 large carrots, chopped
3 T. lemon juice, squeezed from 2 fresh lemons
1/2 bunch spinach, rinsed and chopped (if you buy it bagged, just add about 2 handfuls)
In a large pot over medium heat, combine chicken broth, cooked chicken, carrots, pepper, and rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender, about 30 minutes.
Add lemon juice and spinach and simmer for 5 more minutes. Tastes even better reheated the next day!0 -

Thanks--I'm so glad you started this group. I think it can be a really good support for us all.
This isn't exactly a recipe, but I really enjoyed it for lunch (I was anticipating not enjoying the tuna dry, since I really like it better with mayonnaise).
Make a bed of mixed organic greens. On top, put drained tuna and chopped grape tomatoes. Then, mix 2 T. balsamic vinegar with 1 package Truvia and drizzle it over the salad. It's nice paired with some brown rice crackers
The balsamic vinegar mix really added a nice flavor to both the greens and the tuna (the tomatoes were yummy, too). 0 -

Hello All,
I wanted to share this awesome website, she has great dairy free recipes and uses spelt flour in a lot of things. I have experimented with a LOT of her recipes and they always come out good. I found this one that adds Cauliflower to chocolate cake and if you omit the oil and flax it should be ok for phase one or I might try ground steel cut oats and keep the oil or maybe even add an egg for Phase 3. Anyway the blog is awesome and I think quite a few recipes can be adapted for FMD. If anyone tries anything please let me know, and when I do will share as well

Overnight Steel-Cut Oats
Appropriate for Phase One and Phase Three
Makes 4 to 8 servings
1 cup steel cut oats
4 cups water
Combine the oats and water in a large saucepan. Boil 1 minute. turn off the heat, cover the pan and let it stand overnight at room temperature. In the morning, remove the lid and bring the oats to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until the oats are creamy yet still a little bit chewy, about 7 to 10 minutes. Cooked oats will keep in the fridge for a week. You can just spoon out a serving (1 cup for phase one or 1/2 cup for phase three) add a little water and reheat in the microwave for a minute or two. Or, you can make a huge batch and freeze single servings. Then, add your favorite mix-ins (per 1 cup of oatmeal):
Phase One
Peach-Ginger Oatmeal
Add 1/2 cup chopped peaches, 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.
Phase Three add in - 1/4 cup chopped almonds in addition.
Phase One
Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
Stir in 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and Stevia to taste.
Phase Three
Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of coconut milk, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup fresh blueberries and 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut.
Phase 3
Raspberry-Hazelnut Oatmeal
Add 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, then top with 1/2 cup raspberries.
Phase 3
Cherry-Almond Butter Swirl Oatmeal
Swirl in 2 tablespoons almond butter and top with 1/2 cup dark-red cherries (frozen is fine).0 -
I finished the book this week and will be starting the program on Monday. I'm excited and a little nervous that I will eat the wrong thing. I'm still trying to figure out the portion upping based on the weight you need to lose. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.0

rbanks, If you're trying to lose more than 20 pounds, you'll want to make the portions 1 1/2. If you're trying to lose over 40 pounds, you may have 2 portions. However, many women feel over full on the two portions, so Haylie said that it's okay to do 1 1/2 portions is 2 is causing your problems (that's what I'm doing--1 1/2 is plenty for me).0

Thank you michellyn! I can't wait to start on Monday. I have my grocery list ready for Sunday and keep double checking it to make sure that I haven't forgotten anything.0

I tried the pumpkin pie oatmeal....i wasnt really a fan, just something about it, i felt like i was forcing myself to eat it:(0
-
I normally do the oatmeal shakes for breaskfast during phase 1 and 3 but today I had cooked oatmeal, that I made last night. I added a lot of cinnamon and I defrosted frozen berries and peaches in a baggie and poured that all over the cereal this morning and that was yummy!0

On the facebook group I just saw that tomato sauce is not allowed on P1 so just use crused tomatoes and tomato paste.0

Spelt Pretzels - makes about 6 pretzels - the recipie calls for sugar but you can eliminate it, i also used egg white instead of whole egg - I cant find spelt pretzels in the grocery store or anywhere else. I liked this as a snack so thought i would share.
Ingredients:
•1 1/8 teaspoons yeast
•3/4 cup warm water
•1/2 teaspoon of salt
•1/2 tablespoon of sugar
•2 cups + 2 tablespoons of sprouted spelt flour (or regular)
•1 egg, beaten
•sea salt or kosher salt
Preheat oven to 350º.
Measure warm water into a large bowl. Sprinkle on yeast and stir until soft. Add salt, sugar, and flour. Mix and knead dough with hands. Roll and twist into any desired shapes. Place on greased cookie sheet. Brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle with salt. Bake 12-15 minutes.
Tricks and tips:
•When you paint on the egg, be generous. Although these won’t get super-browned (the regular flour version didn’t either), the egg does help.
•Also don’t be shy with the salt.0 -
Ok why is there nothing in London? I can't find any sprout grain toast or spelt pasta or wild rice or any of the stuff this diet needs

Hello,
I am just starting and I will have to do double portions. I wanted to know for how long will I do double portions or only until weight reaches around 40 lbs to go mark?
Also, Can I add my extra portions to my snack as well to create smoothies? Any ideas?
Thanks0 -
Hello, I see you joined this group in February. I am starting this diet tomorrow and was curious how well did you do? Do you have any suggestions.0
