Sun, 04 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Notes

if using cheaper cuts of game or beef, add 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda per kg to tenderize the meat.
if you don’t have any coarse salt and need to substitute with table salt, double-check that it’s not iodized salt – iodine leaves a bitter taste in the mouth

Notes

The boiling/steaming breaks down the cells quicker; the baking soda speeds the chemical change that releases the sugars.

Quinoa Chili

Sun, 04 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Dehydrate

Spread evenly onto dehydrator trays. Dry at 145F/63C for 8-10 hours. Chili is done when the beans are dry.
Evenly package into 6 servings, in air-tight containers (like ziplock bags) or vacuum seal. Store in a cool, dark & dry place.

Rehydrate

Pour dry chili into the pot; add 1 cup water per serving and stir well. Bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.

Notes

Brown Rice Substitution

From Budget Bytes: Brown rice requires more liquid and a much longer cook time than white rice, so you will need to take these into account if you attempt to substitute brown rice for the white rice in this recipe. While I haven’t tested a brown rice version, I would probably add at least another cup of chicken broth and increase the simmer time to closer to 40 minutes.

Cold / Flu Soup

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Soup!

This is my let’s get better from our cold or flu soup.

Always garlic, often horseradish, sometimes ginger.Often Mince meat, today added sausage. Always Mushrooms and onion.Let the potatoes and carrots cook while you cut and fry the other stuff.

I use a little bit of green curry paste as a base flavor, along with a stock cube, some grillkrydda (kind of bbq spice), some extra powdered stock (today vegeta seasoning).Back in the day I often had different types of chili sauce as well.

Grandma's Versatile Stew

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Notes

This was designed to be more ‘heart smart’ than a standard beef stew while also being adaptable to Keto/Low Carb diets.
It’s even flexible enough to adapt to a vegan diet.
Ingredients were selected to avoid common ‘filler foods’ that are nutritious but feature heavily in western diets day to day. Kind of a ‘get outside the go to foods’ style recipe.
Options for using ‘go to foods’ are included for completeness.
Spicing option left intentionally open-ended. Adjust to your preferences.

Important Consideration - MUST READ

THE BELOW IS FOR AVOIDING DEHYDRATION OR VERY MILD DEHYDRATION THIS IS NOT GOING TO HELP WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE DEHYDRATION IF YOU’RE CONCERNED SEEK PROPER MEDICAL CARE

Critical Notes and Information

You MUST include a glucose (sugar) source for proper uptake of water and electrolytes (salts primarily) or the solution will be non-effective.
Potassium is an important electrolyte, not just sodium (salt). If possible, include a source of potassium as part of the recipe. See the ASU recipes for examples of getting potassium.
Potassium can be skipped but a food source for replenishing potassium is important if more than mild dehydration occurs.
If using coconut water, make sure it’s unflavored, unsweetened, etc. I use Vita Coco Coconut water ‘pressed coconut’
Use fresh fruit(s) for best effects ; juices tend to be processed heavily and may not have a good level of citric acid present which is part of the WHO recommendations for a hydration drink ingredient

Salt Source

Assume ‘salt’ means one of the following
- Himalayan pink salt
- Sea salt
- Kosher, iodized salt
Himalayan pink salt is the least processed followed by sea salt followed by standard table salt (get kosher, iodized salt if going with standard salt)
Sodium levels for the above salts are about equal and the crystal size adds the most variability to sodium level obtained (bigger crystal == less sodium)
Practically all 3 forms of salt can be swapped freely
