Tahini Dressing The Charlie Foundation 2023-06-27 | Tahini Dressing is lemony and bright! It pairs very well with raw or roasted vegetables, grilled meats and hearty salads. The creamy consistency is a great alternative to dairy based dressings and has the benefit of being nut free so it is allergen and school safe. When you are purchasing Tahini, make sure to check the ingredient label to ensure the product contains only 100% ground sesame seeds.We paired our Tahini Dressing with this amazing purple cauliflower in honor of Purple Day, a grassroots effort to raise awareness of epilepsy worldwide. The purple color of the cauliflower is due to the presence of a subtype of flavonoid compounds called anthocyanins, which may help to regulate your blood lipid and sugar levels and body weight, as well as help to lower your cancer risk. Additionally, purple cauliflower contains a compound called glucoraphanin, which is also found in common green broccoli. In your body, glucoraphanin can be converted to compounds with anticancer properties.Simply toss the cauliflower and a sliced red onion with avocado oil, garlic powder and salt. Roast on a sheet pan in a very hot oven, about 450℉ for 15 minutes. Finish by roughly chopping fresh cilantro and drizzling with the Tahini Dressing.

Cauliflower Cheddar Hashbrowns The Charlie Foundation 2023-01-17 | Cauliflower & Cheddar Keto Hash Browns pull double duty, sneaking in a serving of veggies and hitting “the spot” as an egg free breakfast alternative. Cooking them in a waffle iron is the fastest way to get them super crispy. The key is to cook these long enough for the cheese to crisp (like cheese chips). We also experimented with omitting the arrowroot and found that the recipe does not bind together without it. These make a great alternative latke during Passover, can be used as a burger bun, or served as a side dish!Full recipe and instructions can be found here- charliefoundation.org/cauliflower-cheddar-hashbrowns
The Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies The Charlie Foundation 2022-09-27 | Some of the very best recipes are often the most simple. This is certainly true when it comes to Egg Yolk Waffles! We discovered these beautiful waffles on social media, shared by Sarah (found at carnivore.yogi on Instagram). We’re grateful to her for introducing us to this fabulous recipe and allowing us to share!Egg Yolk Waffles are reminiscent of “potato bread” with a texture that is soft and fluffy, yet pliable and strong, perfect for encouraging chewing. We encourage you to think outside the box when incorporating these waffles into your meal plans. They are particularly delicious when used along with savory ingredients, such as a replacement for a burger bun or hotdog roll. They hold fat amazingly well and do not feel greasy, even at their high-fat ratio (greater than 4:1). Feel free to use another fat besides butter. Coconut oil, bacon fat, or a combination of fats will all work well.Egg yolks are among the most nutritious foods owing to their high Vitamins A, D, riboflavin, phosphorus, and selenium content. They’re also high in choline which is necessary for neurotransmitters in the brain.Egg Yolk Waffles are sure to become a keto staple. Consider multiplying the recipe by six and using a dozen yolks at a time. The cooking time is so quick, it is easy to make a large quantity of waffles. Store extra waffles in your freezer, wrapped tightly in parchment paper then sealed in an airtight bag. Cooked versions listed as a Standard Meal and as a “food item” in the KetoDietCalculator so you can conveniently weigh the exact amount needed to fit your meal plans.The recipe can be found here: charliefoundation.org/egg-yolk-waffles
