Testimony of the Day
This is the type of thing that makes me want to spread the word of health more! Amazing results after one of our consults.
” Hi Maria,
It’s been about 6 months since I found your blog through Dr. Davis. What a great 6 months it’s been! I’m down 52.5 pounds. I was taking over 500 prescription and non-prescription pills a month for severe IBS, acid reflex, asthma, headaches etc. I had just turned 30 and was at my heaviest! I had been a long time “points” member, and was gaining weight while eating my whole grains and fruit by the pounds! Fruit doesn’t count as points you know!!! What a wake up call when I found your blog and became your client! I wanted to share some before and after pictures with you, although I am still a work in progress. Thanks again Maria, you have truly changed my life for the better.

FISH SAUCE
One staple that every cook should have in their fridge is Fish Sauce. It is a special ingredient that takes good food to amazing food. Fish Sauce, mushrooms and aged cheeses have something called “UMAMI.” Umami is a pleasant savory taste produced by glutamate and ribonucleotides, chemicals which occur naturally in many foods. Umami is subtle and not generally identified by people when they encounter it, but blends well with other tastes to intensify and enhance flavors; it plays an important role in making food taste delicious.
“HEALTHIFIED” PEPPERS
2 TBS coconut oil or butter
1 pound thinly sliced grass fed sirloin steak strips
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
6 green bell peppers
1 medium onion, sliced
6 slices provolone cheese
1(14 ounce) can beef broth
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp fish sauce (optional: for “umami”)
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup prepared horseradish (optional)
1/2 cup brown mustard (optional)
My husband is on board with this one 🙂 Can’t wait to try it!
Do you have any cheese options for those who cannot tolerate dairy…..I won’t use the vegan cheeses because most of them have casein in them and the Dairy has canola oil … blech. Option would be to just make it without the cheese I guess
You could try a little nutritional yeast. Also, some people with dairy sensitivity can still have goat cheese. 🙂
Almond Cheese is really good. Personally I like the Cheddar or Hot Pepper flavor. It is Casein Free and Dairy Free! You’ll find it at your local co-op usually!
