Light tomato soup-E or fuel pull

 We really love this soup; it is light, comforting and very filling with a piece of toasted sourdough.

• 1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
• 15oz. of chicken broth (we use the empty tomato sauce can to measure)
• 2/3 cup low fat yogurt or Greek yogurt.
• 2 tsp. Truvia. and salt and pepper to taste

 add all ingredients to a medium sauce pan. Heat and whisk until ready. Add some parmesan cheese, mozzarella or toast depending on what kind meal you are eating.

Spelt/ Rye sourdough

2 quarts  sourdough starter
3 1/4 cups rye flour
3 1/4 cups spelt flour
1 1/4 T sea salt
1/2 quart water
1T yeast

1.Knead all ingredients in a Bosch mixer. Mixture will be sticky.

2.Put sourdough in greased bread pans to rise. Let rise until doubled. 4-7 hours The longer the better.

3.Bake at 350 for 1hour. you can add a pan of water to the oven during baking to get an extra crunchy crust.

Lentil Soup

• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 Yellow Onion
• 4 Carrots
• 4 stalks Celery
• 3 tbsp. Olive Oil
• 2 Cups Lentils
• 1 tbsp. Cumin
• 2 qt. Chicken Stock
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Serves: 6-8

Set a large, dry Dutch oven over medium heat and drop in the Garlic cloves with their peels still on. Let them toast for a few minutes on each side, until the skins are browned and fragrant, and set aside.
Roughly chop the Onion, Carrots, and Celery. Add the Olive Oil to the Dutch oven and sauté until browned and tender.
Peel and smash up the Garlic and add it back to the pot, along with the Lentils and Cumin. Cook for a few seconds, until the lentils are nicely coated in oil. Empty the Stock into the pot. Simmer until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Fish out the Bay Leaf and Thyme. Season with Salt and Pepper.

Fooled Ya Pizza- s

Cauliflower
mozzarella cheese
salt
seasoning
 

1.Lightly steam 1 bag of frozen cauliflower; or two large heads of cauliflower.

2.Put lightly steamed cauliflower into colander and press out as much of the liquid as you can. I use a paper towel to help absorb the moisture as I press. Make sure that you wring out as much as possible.

3.Put cauliflower in a food processor and pulse a few times; until you get rice-sized pieces.
 

4.Add 3/4 cup Egg whites and pulse again. Add two cups grated mozzarella cheese, a pinch of salt, dash of Italian seasoning and a little bit of both onion and garlic powder. We also like to add a bit of the Pizza dough seasoning from the King Arthur Flour company.
 

5.Mix ingredients well with a spatula inside the food processor. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and grease parchment well. This is very important or the crust will stick.

Plop entire mixture onto the middle of the tray and spread it outwards until it fits most of the tray. Try not to have a thicker middle than sides.

5.Bake at 450 degrees F. for 20 minutes. Carefully flip crust to other side and bake for 10 more minutes.
 

 6.When finished, top with as many delectable pizza goodies as you wish-then bake for about 12-15 minutes. This is incredibly Delicious, and works well as the perfect crust replacement.
