Cranberry Sauce Holidays can be tricky with exte Cranberry Sauce Holidays can be tricky with extended family! This simple recipe doesn’t add extra stress to the holiday food prep and is a simple way to make a traditional holiday dish a little more healthy. Most store-bought options contain gelatin, natural flavors, corn syrup, and other inflammatory sources of free glutamate. In my opinion, this tastes far better than any canned alternative out there. This recipe can easily be made ahead and frozen before the big day. Ingredients 10 oz package fresh or frozen cranberries 1/2 c. Freshly squeezed orange or apple juice (we prefer apple) 1/3 c. pure maple syrup or honey (I used maple syrup, but honey has less of a glutamate risk) 1/4 tsp fresh orange zest 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt Instructions Add all ingredients to a small saucepan on the stovetop over medium/high heat. Keep at a low boil for 10-15 mins, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Once cooled, either leave chunky or blend with an immersion blender. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer to a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth or desired consistency. Place in serving the dish and garnish with additional orange zest, mint, or apple slices. Cinnamon, apples, and fresh ginger are useful optional add-ins. #thanksgiving #cranberries #myhusbandisaddictedtooceanspray #😑 #dumpthejunk #wholefoodthanksgiving #additivefree #lowglutamate #lowglutamatediet #realfood
Thanksgiving Collards 🦃 Growing up, I became a Thanksgiving Collards 🦃 Growing up, I became accustomed to the standard soggy collards- swimming in swampy water with nearly a cup full of white sugar dumped in to disguise the greens' bitterness. It wasn’t until recently that we changed up our collard green recipe to this lighter, healthier option that I keep goingrevisiting. We will never go back to those old soggy stewed collards.

B E T T E R , N O T P E R F E C T Thanksgiving B E T T E R , N O T P E R F E C T Thanksgiving Turkey Edition I am pulling this old one out for those starting to prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday. Surprisingly enough, free glutamate (MSG) is found in many meat products. Not only does free glutamate risk increase in specific cooking processes of meat (high heat, extremely long cook times, etc.), but it is a common sneaky additive to meat (natural flavors, ”spices,” MSG, flavoring, modified food starch, extracts, etc.). While some may do just fine with these sources of free glutamate (MSG), it may be problematic for those already dealing with underlying high levels of intrinsic glutamate being produced by their body in response to inflammation, immune activation, toxic exposure, etc. Here I compare a standard turkey found at Target with over ten free glutamate sources (MSG), both injected into the turkey and in a gravy packet. The second image is of an organic turkey found at our local @wholefoods. Real food makes a difference. Hope y’all have a great Thanksgiving! Look for our Thanksgiving meal prep in my stories 😘 #lowglutamate #lowglutamatediet #additivefree #reiddiet #reidprogram #nourishedblessings #realfoodthanksgiving #thanksgivingdinner #thanksgiving #turkey #dumpthejunk
Instant Pot Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast can be a mo Instant Pot Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast can be a more challenging meal to sneak vegetables in, and fortunately for picky eaters, you can hardly tell this pumpkin oatmeal contains zucchini. The addition of cinnamon and clove in the pumpkin pie spice increases the dish’s anti-microbial properties. Feel free to adjust the ratios based on need. Ingredients 2 c. Gluten-Free Steel Cut Oats 1 c. Fresh Pumpkin Flesh (previously roasted) 2 c. Plant-Based Milk (additive-free, homemade is best) 2 c. Water 3 tbsp. Pure Maple Syrup (or to taste) 3/4 tsp. Himalayan or Sea Salt 1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice (we use @spicelyorganics or @frontiercoop) 1/4 large or 1/2 small Zucchini (finely* diced, smaller for picky eaters) Possible toppings: fresh pumpkin seeds, pecans, walnuts, additional plant-based milk, microgreens, etc. Possible add-ins: chia seeds, riced cauliflower, flaxseeds, hemp seeds, pecan butter, raisins, apples, carrots, etc. Instructions Place all ingredients into the Instant Pot and stir until well combined. Turn instant pot to high pressure and set the time for 4 minutes. The actual time from start to finish will be 25 minutes. This will allow time for the pressure to build, 4 minutes of cook time, and the pressure’s natural release. Tidbits Boxed additive-free pumpkin may also be used, but it will drastically intensify the oatmeal pumpkin flavor. Oatmeal, in general, can be problematic for some. We try to avoid going overboard with it. #reid #lowglutamatediet #lowglutamate #pumpkin #oatmeal #cleaneating #magnesium #breakfast #reidmoms #hiddenveggies
