Wahls Protocol Diet (on a budget)

[tortoise]

I bought 4# regular carrots and 2# "organic "rainbow" carrots last week. 'Tis the week for new carrot recipes!

I tried this carrot soup recipe yesterday. I am surprised to report that my whole family liked it. We are not fans of cooked carrots.

I substituted onion for the leak, omitted cardamom because I don't like it, and forgot the coconut milk.


Currently cooking this up with the rainbow carrots.

I substituted can crushed pineapple for pineapple juice, omitted apricot and almond. And didn't really follow the directions right, oops.


EDITED TO ADD: the glazed carrots are awful! ewww! But carrot soup above is good! I will make it again.

You cook the way I cook....a recipe is a mere suggestion, lol.

I always use the bones in canned salmon. I just mash them in my fingers and stir them in. They disappear. Get over it.

is it really that simple?

Yes. The bones are the ribs, don't bother with them, they disintegrate. The roundish bones are the center (I guess) spinal bones. I just mash them with my fingers and mix them in with the salmon. Canned salmon is touted as being good for you because of the calcium. It is not as bad as you think it is. I love salmon patties!

Thank you! I'm getting brave now! Attempting tuna cakes. Because canned tuna costs less than canned salmon so less loss if the recipe doesn't work for me.

Edited to add: Yum! Hubby says worth a repeat too. I substituted 1 t red dulse flakes + 1 T oregano for the cilantro, 1/3 cup frozen chopped onion for the scallion, 1 t ground ancho pepper for the jalapeno, omitted lemon zest. I will make with canned salmon next time.

Those sound good! I printed it out and will have to try them. I like the baking them in a muffin tin. I love my salmon patties rolled in cornmeal and fried, but on the keto diet, no cornmeal. And no crackers that I crumble up in the mix either. But now, with this recipe, I can bake my salmon patties and it will be good! Thanks!

@baymule The sweet potato in there is gonna have a whole bunch of carbs...

But, when I'm not doing keto - I know I would love this recipe!

I've heard of people using crushed pork rinds instead of crackers in things like salmon patties and meat loaf.

A lady I work with uses almond flour as a coating for things she want to fry - but I have NOT tried it. However I did a quick search for frying with almond flour and it seems it can be done.

It's only keto-friendly in small portion. Depends on how tightly you adhere to keto and where your carb macro is. The sweet potato adds (calculated) about 2 grams carb per 1/4 cup size cake, assuming that google can be trusted.

That's not so bad really. Thanks for figuring that out!
