Anti-Inflammatory Dessert

Warm Winter Fruit Compote – Anti-Inflammatory Dessert

Anti-Inflammatory Dessert

This fruit compote is both sugar-free and contains no added fat. All the sweetness comes from the sugar that is naturally contained in the fruit and the fruit juice that are in the ingredients to make this dessert. For a dessert to be in line with the health recommendation set down by health authorities such as the Harvard School of Medicine, they need to be fat free and contain little or no sugar. For more information on Anti-inflammatory Dessert cooking click on this link. It is one of the best Anti-Inflammatory Dessert Recipes and I make this at least once a fortnight during the winter months. Dried fruit is a great natural sweetener if you want to avoid using refined sugar. The natural sweetness of the fruit can be untapped really well if you heat the fruit or the dishes you want to prepare with the fruit. Try chopping up some died fruit and add it to your oat flakes when making your porridge in the morning. read more

Sugar-Free Gluten-Free Granola

Sugar-Free Gluten-Free Granola

Why Make your Own Sugar Free and Gluten Free Granola?

Granola is usually readily available to buy in most supermarkets. You pay a premium and it might be harder to get if you want Sugar-Free Gluten-Free Granola. To get granola that doesn’t contain fats that are usually added in the manufacturing process you most likely have to make your own. Granola is surprisingly easy to make though. And if you like crunchy granola all you have to do is bake your flakes in the oven for 15 minutes and then add it to your mix of seeds, dried fruit and nuts. In most recipes for home made granola the flakes are toasted with the use of some kind of vegetable oil to either bind the flakes together or to avoid them from sticking to the baking sheet. This can be avoided by using a liquid sweetener like honey. In order to keep your flakes from sticking instead of using oil, you can use a non-stick material to line the baking sheet. i tend to use a reusable teflon sheet. You can also use paper baking sheets or a non-stick baking sheet made from silicon or something similar. Either way, there is no need to use oil, This granola recipe is perfect for people who follow anti-inflammatory diet or a special MS diet. read more

Apple Crumble – nutritious sugar free breakfast for winter mornings

Apple Crumble is something most people associate with dinner and dessert. I made some last night as a matter of fact. As I was making it I thought these are the perfect ingredients for a delicious and nutritious sugar free breakfast for a winter morning. So I made some extra portions to eat either cold or reheated in the microwave for the morning. This particular apple crumble is gluten free, dairy free and very low in fat. I use cold pressed rapeseed oil. Cold pressed rapeseed oil has the same characteristics as cold pressed olive oil. It has a different flavour though and I prefer to use it instead of olive oil for sweet dishes like this crumble. If you prefer you can use cold pressed olive oil instead. read more

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Breakfast Recipe- OMS Diet

Almond Pancakes a Gluten Free and Dairy Free Breakfast Recipe – OMS Diet

Making Gluten Free and Dairy Free Breakfast Recipe

This is another Gluten Free and Dairy Free Breakfast Recipe that is compliant with the OMS diet and great for anyone who is avoiding saturated fats in their diet.

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Almond Pancakes without using Oil for Frying:

The OMS diet avoids frying with oil because of the changes that occur in fats as you heat them to very high temperatures. The trick to successful pancakes when avoiding using oil for frying is a good, non stick pan. I have also found American style pancakes a lot easier to manage than the bigger variety pancakes  popular in Europe. It is quite easy to fry small pancakes without the use of any oils or fats which makes them ideal for anyone who is following a low saturated fat diet. The European pancakes then to be much thinner and bigger. They are usually about 8 inches in diameter and often served rolled up with various sweet or savoury fillings. The biggest pancakes prepared like that are French Crépes. They require a particular kind of pan though, so I won’t get into those just yet. The bigger and thinner the pancake the harder it is to prepare them without the use of fat in the pan. So for this recipe I’m making small American style pancakes made from almond flour and a bit of gluten free flour as well as egg white and soya milk. Because they are cooked at a lower heat and without fats in the pan they need a little bit longer to get brown. It’s worth making a whole lot (if cooking for more than one person) in more than one pan. They take a little bit of time to make but are so worth it!  You can also store the pancakes in a fridge for a night or even freeze them and reheat under a grill or in the oven whenever you want a quick breakfast and fancy pancakes. read more

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Breakfast Recipe OMS Diet

Vegan Gluten Free and Dairy Free Breakfast Recipe OMS Diet

What can you eat for Breakfast that is Gluten Free, Dairy Free and ensures you stick to the OMS Diet Program?

The OMS Diet Program is a diet that is mainly plant based and free from all dairy products and saturated fats. It also avoids most other fats that are in any way processed or heated. The diet avoids omega 6 fatty acids as much as possible too. Seeds and most nuts, like almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts etc are fine to eat on this diet with the exception of coconuts as they have a very high saturated fat content.

What you eat for breakfast or what you have been eating for breakfast before you started a diet like the one recommended by the OMS Program probably depends quite a lot on where you live. Breakfasts can be hot or cold, contain cereals, protein, fruit and vegetables, can be sweet or savoury. read more
