Cheesy Cauliflower Pizza Base
🍕
Hello everyone, I have been playing in the kitchen. This base is a winner.
Enjoy 😃

Ingredients:
Base
500 g cauliflower, approx half of one large cauli
(steam or boil the cauliflower )
2 eggs
75 g mozzarella cheese
75 g tasty cheese
1 tbsp dried mixed herbs
salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
**Pre heat oven to approximately 180 Degrees Celsius- it could be a little bit more in your own personal oven

1. Roughly chop cauliflower into pieces and steam till softened
2. Allow cauliflower to cool down
3. Place cauliflower into a nutbag, muslin or sieve and squeeze as much water out as possible so it’s not soggy
4. Mix all ingredients together
5. Remove mixture from bowl and place onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Using a spatula, gently make a flat pizza shape and bake for 25-30 min, or until golden brown
7. Remove from oven and top with favourite ingredients, and bake until cooked. Or just eat it as is.

EXPERIMENTING making gluten-free, grain free breads.
Today I wanted to see how different egg replacers worked with almond meal.

The flax seed meal was good, it does have a distinct flaxseed taste.

Chia seeds were a good replacement, with a more neutral taste.

The chickpea liquid was good, sweeter in taste to the flax and chia, however crumbled more than the flax and chia.

Still playing around with them, so no recipe to share as yet. 🧡

'Gluten Free - Grain Free'

Diets don’t work. They keep us hungry, frustrated, often low in energy and miserable. We often become mal-nourished when going on a gluten-free diet because we tend to gravitate to the myriad of ‘processed and packaged’ so-called gluten-free alternatives. These food items have very little nourishment, and often do not taste good at all.

I created my recipes out of sheer desperation... I needed food that my body could digest, process and utilise. I craved for vitamins, minerals and nutrients that my body could recognise and absorb.

I was starving and had dozens of symptoms, illnesses and disorders. When my Doctor told me I had to go gluten-free, he gave me the list of foods I could no longer eat. I was devastated. It was EVERYTHING I was already eating. I had so many allergies and food sensitivities at the time, the only things left for me to eat were lettuce and radishes. I went crazy!

Hello I'm Mandy Healey, Welcome to my 'Gluten Free - Grain Free' page where you will discover that going Gluten-free is a healthy lifestyle change and that life without gluten (and grains) does NOT mean deprivation!

I am now a Certified Gluten Educator as well as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Wellness Life Coach and a Master 'Neuro Linguistic Programming' Practitioner (NLP). I tailor make and combine these modalities to create powerful, lasting and positive change in my client’s lives.

I found that many clients coming to see me in my clinic suffered from problems like... depression, anxiety, skin irritations, muscle aches, headaches, autoimmune disorders, neurological issues, gut problems, anger, lethargy... just to name a few. I would do a comprehensive questionnaire with them regarding their life issues, lifestyle, their food and beverage choices and gut health. I was overwhelmed by how many people I was able to help by simply looking at their ‘diet and lifestyle’ first.

I realised the many lists of symptoms and illnesses that my clients presented with, I had previously suffered from myself. I noticed the distinct correlation between the gut and brain, as well as a definite food/mood connection. I then furthered my studies as a Certified Gluten Educator and Practitioner, helping clients and teaching Doctors, Nurses and Dentists about the ramifications of gluten on the human body and brain, as well as hidden glutens and information they could share with their own patients.

I realised that the ‘Traditional’ gluten-free diet was not enough for me to heal my body and brain. It was only when I went ‘TRUE’ gluten-free that my life and health totally changed. I went off ALL grains, as well as most seeds of grasses like millet and quinoa. I went from a depressed, suicidal mess of a human being, back to the vibrant, happy, fun-loving and energetic person I was years earlier :)

So, whether you are ‘new’ to going gluten-free or grain-free, or if you are already following a strict gluten-free lifestyle; I believe this page will help you with tasty, nourishing and easy-to-make recipes that you, (your taste-buds and tummy), family and friends will truly enjoy.

I will keep you informed with great tips for gluten and grain substitutes, delicious recipes, cutting edge research on gluten and gluten-related disorders, breakthroughs in medical studies, tips for going and staying gluten free, as well as how to overcome issues when going gluten and grain FREE.

You deserve to have a nurturing and healthy relationship with food, your body and your mind.

So, here’s to a healthy body, happy taste-buds and nutritious lifestyle change.

Cheers

Mandy Healey xx
