We were 16 strong for our last "Food for Healing" of 2014. Together, we shared an amazing healthy meal of traditional holiday favorites infused with super foods
 | Tasting Menu Shiitake Pesto Pizza Shiitake Gravy Cauliflower Puree Cranberry Persimmon Sauce Sweet Potato/Pumpkin mini muffins Persimmon Avocado Salad Cranberry Persimmon Smoothie Black Bean Ultra Fit brownies Merry Christmas Vegetable Tree Starfruit/Kiwi infused water Assorted hot tea |
With support from Dahl FarmsMy partner in crime or should I say partner in health was Laura Dahl of Dahl Farms. Laura prepared the stuffing & gravy LOADED with healing shiitake mushrooms picked fresh from her shiitake logs in Easley SC. She also delighted our taste buds with cranberry persimmon sauce, persimmon avocado salad and sweet potato muffins. Laura had a holiday gift for each guest of her "Superfood Seasoning" made with freshly dried shiitake and oyster mushrooms. Shiitake and other Asian mushrooms are a staple in a cancer fighting kitchen and we explored ways to use the "Superfood Seasoning" in everyday cooking. |  |
Eating healthy for the holiday season can be as simple as changing traditional recipes to include superfood substitutions. Our simple pureed cauliflower can pass for mashed potatoes loaded with cream and butter and the shiitake stuffing can become a new holiday tradition.
The keys to healthy holiday eating are:
Enjoy sparingly the rich calorie-packed favorites
Take your own healthy dish to a holiday party
Load up on veggies and fresh foods.
