New Blog Schedule and the AIP Nutrition Program

Hi Everyone!

Hope your weekend was fabulous. 

I have decided to keep blog time to M,W,F.  So, beginning this week, I'll start posting blogs on M, W, and F. 

Due to weather on Friday, the internet service was knocked out.  Many apologies for the inconvenience.  I will post the recipe along with today's "words of wisdom". 

I have been reintroducing foods now for eleven days post Whole 30 completion.  Sugar and alcohol definitely create inflammation for me.  Too bad, because the Pina Colada was yummy!  That's okay!  Because The Essential AIP Cookbook has wonderful recipes for summer time drinks that look refreshing and delicious.  I have decided to follow the AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) nutrition program for 30 days now to compare results. 

 Recipe:  Squasage  by Deanna Proper at ProperHealthSolutions.com 

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time:  30 minutes and 10 minutes
Yield:  2 servings
Serving size:  1 bowl

Ingredients:
  1 acorn squash
  2 Tablespoons olive oil
  6 oz of ground pork 
  1/4 Cup of diced onion
  6 kale leaves chopped finely, remove tough stem and spine from tender leaves
  1 teaspoon sage
  1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
  1/4 teaspoon ginger
  1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  1/4 teaspoon curry powder

Instructions:
  1.  Preheat oven to 350 F.  While oven is preheating, wash acorn squash and cut it in half length wise.  Scoop out seeds and place halves cut side down in shallow baking pan filled with enough water to cover 1/4 inch of squash.  Bake for 30 minutes or until able to pierce squash with a fork.

  2.  Remove squash from oven and allow to cool enough to handle.  Meanwhile, heat a large skillet on medium.  Add olive oil to skillet and allow to heat.  Add onion and saute until translucent.  

  3.  Add ground pork and sage and fennel.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until pork is cooked through.  Break any large clumps into small clumps. 

  4.  Add kale leaves and cook until leaves are just wilted.  

  5.  Add cooled squash pulp (rind removed) along with ginger, turmeric and curry powder.  Cook stirring until all ingredients are warmed through and thoroughly mixed.  

  6.  Serve in bowls.  Delicious for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Enjoy!

To your Health!

Deanna
