Keto Popcorn Snack Recipe

Keto popcorn is a low-carb alternative to traditional popcorn, which is typically high in carbohydrates. Instead of using corn kernels, you'll use a different base to create a keto-friendly snack. Here's a simple recipe for making keto popcorn:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of coconut flakes (unsweetened)

• 1/2 cup of almonds (sliced or slivered)

• 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese (finely grated)

• 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese (grated)

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil or melted coconut oil

• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon of paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

• In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut flakes and sliced almonds. These will be the main components of your keto popcorn.

• In a separate small bowl, mix together the grated cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This will be your seasoning mixture.

• Drizzle the olive oil or melted coconut oil over the coconut flakes and almonds. Toss them together until they're well-coated with the oil.

• Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the coconut and almond mixture. Make sure to evenly distribute the seasonings.

• Spread the coated coconut flakes and almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure that they're not too crowded to allow for even baking.

• Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the coconut and almonds turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, as the baking time may vary.

• Remove the keto popcorn from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.

• Once it has cooled slightly, you can break it into smaller pieces if desired, resembling popcorn.

Serve your keto popcorn as a crunchy, savory snack!

Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste preferences, and you can experiment with different spices and herbs to create unique flavors. This keto-friendly popcorn alternative is a great way to satisfy your cravings for a crunchy snack without the high carbohydrate content of traditional popcorn. Enjoy!

Top reasons why Bone Broth can be the Best Food on the Planet (7 min video)

Why is bone broth so healthy? You have to ask that question in light of where you're getting the source from. Watch this video to understand if the animal protein you are eating is healthy. If you're an animal that is cooped up or forced with injections of antibiotics watch this video. If you're not allowed to roam and graze and eat from the land, you're probably not healthy as an animal. So watch this video and understand why bone broth can be an essential part of being healthy. Does it matter the name of the disease of your healthy?

RECIPE FOR BONE-VEGETABLE BROTH

Bones, preferably from organic, free range and/or grass fed animals.*

7 carrots, cut fine

1 small bunch of celery, cut fine

1/3 bunch of parsley, cut fine

Large handful of spinach, cut fine

1 large Vidalia onion, chopped

2 T Apple cider vinegar
salt/pepper, to taste

Cumin and/or Turmeric, to taste

Ginger: great for healing the digestive tract (ex. Diverticulitis, etc…)

Fill a big crock pot or stock pot ½ full of bones (chicken, turkey, beef and/or fish bones). If using beef bones, roast beforehand for 25 or 30 minutes at about 375 F and then use them to make a stock.

Add vegetables. Cover bones/vegetables with reverse osmosis OR Berkey water. Add a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with the cold water to help draw out the nutrients from the bones.  Put it on high heat to bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat so it doesn’t do much more than simmer. Add spices.

Skim off the “froth” as it arises. Continue to add water as it evaporates.

Allow around 4 hours for chicken stock and a minimum of 6 hours for other, tougher bones.  If you have time, let it boil for as much as 24 hours for chicken and 48 hrs for beef bones. This time allows the bones to turn to Gelatin which has amazing curative properties as well as makes it easier to digest. The more it cooks the more minerals you’ll leach from the bones and vegetables.  Store in refrigerator to use as needed.  Drink it warm. 

 *Ask your local butcher for a carcass of chicken or beef bones (many call them “dog bones” or “soup bones”). Many local grocery stores sell “soup bones”. You can also keep all the bones from the meat you eat during the week in the freezer until you’re ready to use them. 

Dressing From a White House Chef

In my experimentation with dressings from Nourishing Traditions, I have thoroughly enjoyed this concoction. As I was talking to a patient who was for many years the top managing chef for the White House, she said that she picked up this recipe from an international chef- don't quote me on the international, all I know is that he was well known. She couldn't really ask for the recipe, because that's a faupat, but she did observe very carefully and experimented with her own concoction at home. She finally got the right delectable flavor! I feel that it is basically this dressing that I have been experimenting with. My kids lick there plates!

Remember this is a basic foundational dressing. From here you can add to your hearts desire! I love garlic so I add garlic a lot. I love dried red peppers etc. Additionally, I usually add premier research pink salt that is not toxic with heavy metal nickle which many sea salts are burdened with. Call the manufacturer of the sea salt to make sure they don't use a toxic nickel filter to sift out the sea salt. Many do!

Makes about 1.5 cups

2 teaspoon Dijon-type mustard, smooth or grainy
4 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoon raw wine vinegar
2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon expeller-expressed flax oil. I use mixed EFAS from biotics research. It is a great anti-inflammatory oil. It has a slight nutty taste and is great for salads and for this dressing.

Dip a fork into the jar of mustard and transfer about 1 teaspoon to a small bowl. Add vinegar and mix around. Add olive oil in a thin stream, stirring all the while with the fork, until oil is well mixed or emulsified. Add flax oil/mixed EFAS and enjoy! I make extra and store it.

In a rush?  Put it all together in a large mason jar.  Use a immersion blender and done!

Note for Ideal Protein People:   2/3rds of each tablespoon of this is oil.  That is about 2 tsp of oil which is the amount required by Ideal protein.   Bottom line:   1 tbl of this dressing per day.

Quick, impromptu Salad Dressing a Winner!

We had our third Daniel Plan/biblical foundations for health workshop and we made a healthy shake and dressing.   I forgot the lemon so I just made it up.   

I put it on organic spinach and let everybody try it.   YUMMY! One person said, "I'm going to make that one tonight when I get home".  It was already after 9 pm.  I just barely taste tested it and after everybody ate it, there was no more, so I had some at home as well.

Personally,  I don't like vegetables by themselves, especially raw cruciferous veggies like broccoli.  I sometimes force myself to eat it because its so healthy.  On the other hand, I have learned to almost make any veggie taste awesome, or for that matter, almost any food.  Recipes down below!

Secret tips:

I was sharing with a patient how to make a winning salad dressing.  She worked at the white house for years as the head chef.  She said that they got to hang out for several times with a world renowned chef.   Because it is not kosher to ask for the recipe, she just observed. After I told her my recipe,  her discoveries with this chef revealed a similar dressing.  See below for recipe.

My kids lick this off their plate because it's so good.  

Here is the foundational ingredients that you can build world class dressing with:

1 tsp dijon mustard smooth or grainy 2 tbsp plus 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 tbsp mixed efas (from my office) or expeller expressed flax oil. This is the base recipe. I replaced the raw wine vinegar with the apple cider vinegar. I triple the amounts so I can have enough for family of 5 to last longer. Add herbs, garlic or anything else to your hearts desire. Enjoy!

Here is the one I made in the Daniel Class:

Serves 10 people plus.

1. 1/2 cup good quality extra virgin Olive oil.   Click here for good brands.

2. 1/2 cup Mixed efa (Biotics brand carried at my office),  More info.

3. 1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar

4. 3 cloves minced garlic cloves

5. 2-3 tsp Premier Pink Sea Salt

6. 1 tbl Dijon Mustard

7. Enjoy!!!!

Here are materials to make dressing easier:  Immersion blender and Lemon extractor, both inexpensive to buy.

Here are convenient healthy foods we get a Costco that require less prep time.  Just add to smoothie or make a salad with it.  

Yes I put coconut oil directly in my smoothies!   Great for taste, anti-infection & even weight loss! 1 to 3 tbl per day per adult person.

 I use these mason jars for storage of all liquid items, like the above salad dressing and use it for my daily power drink.   Its a 32 oz size.  Get a bunch at any Walmart, etc.

I use this Grass fed butter because its healthy and tastes great!  Put over  vegies with Premier Pink Salt above. Yummy!

Tip:   Grass fed butter has tons better fats for you!  More info.

Carbs, Carbs, Carbs!    The woe of modern man.  Here are some healthy carbs at Costco, assuming you are not crazy gluten sensitive.  No gluten but still may inflame you if you are freaked by gluten.  Otherwise, its ok.  

Tip: Make sure that grains or starches are no more than 25% of your plate!

Yummy Paleo Recipe

If you're like me we don't have time to make good meals. I love healthy meals that are quick and easy! In the morning I start with a healthy vitamix shake that takes me 15 minutes for my whole family. For lunch this was an easy, fast paleo organic salad with yummy dressing and fermented foods for a healthy happy Flora population in your digestive system! I have found that gut health from proper bacterial an yeast colonies are critical to our health and happiness! I am happy and satisfied from this scrumptious meal.

Recipe:

4 cups organic mixed greens from taylor farms
2 tbl mediterranean garlic sauce. Click here for Recipe.
1 cup fermented foods including green peppers, fish, mushrooms. Thanks mom from Korea that help make these foods!
1 cup cucumbers

My kids lick this dressing off of their plate!

Lebanese garlic sauce

I love this sauce! The only complication with this is that once you refrigerate it, it gets hard because of the coconut oil that I use, but it still tastes great! Just let it melt on your plate and use it on whatever you want. It won't stay emulsified like it does in the restaurant, since I'm using healthy coconut oil to replace the vegetable oil, I don't think it can stay emulsified because of the melting at higher temperatures. The other way using rancid vegetable oil which is really unhealthy for you, helps it to stay in emulsified form. I typically use it with salads or you name it! I like it with organic corn chips gmo free with a special Kimchi my mom-in-law makes. Or with vegetables and with chicken.Be creative!

Historically you had to use a mortar and pestle, and it took 30-40 minutes to do this recipe. I want to save you time so this is my 15 minute version. The best way to do this is with a immersion blender. The ones that you stick inside a glass and just blend. I use the same 32 oz mason jar over and over again because garlic kills all the bugs:   viruses, parasites, fungus/mold, bacteria.   

Here is the recipe:

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil in tin container with expiration date (you can increase this amount if you want less solidifying from the coconut oil going in and out of refrigerator.

1 cup expeller pressed coconut oil (no flavor) (Less if you use more olive oil),  both oils = 2 cups total

1 bulb garlic

1 tbl Premier research Sea salt (processed without Nickel heavy metal that is toxic to your body)

1 cup Lemon juice

Chop garlic into small pieces,  put all into 32 oz mason jar,  use immersion blender and blend for 2 minutes,  ENJOY!  (I like with vegetables, chicken, salads, organic baked corn chips)

Fermented Vegetables

​When I Dr. Paul married my wife I was introduced to Kimchi.   Kimchi is definitely an acquired taste.  I really enjoy Kimchi now. I noticed she never got sick.   This stuff is great for the immune system.  Kimchi is from Korea, but other cultures do fermented/cultured vegetables too:  Germany being one of them, Sauekraut.   Please comment if you have any great recipes and your experience with this.  See below for how to make it yourself.
