Blueberry Jam

July 14, 2018 By Your Allergy Chefs

There’s something special about homemade blueberry jam made with love.

Most commercially prepared jams are loaded with sugar that hides the natural sweet tartness of the blueberries. Making this homemade jam is as easy as can be and has none of the refined sugars or preservatives that the store bought stuff contains.

Jam is traditionally crushed fruit with sugar and pectin. Instead of pectin, which requires lots of sugar to set, we’re using chia seeds to thicken our blueberry jam.

Chia seeds are magic. When soaked in liquid, they absorb about 12-times their weight and develop a gel-like coating. We love using them in all kinds of foods from overnight oats to sauces and baked goods.

Cha-cha-chia!

You don’t have to add loads of sugar to make a good jam. Come see…no pectin or canning required!

Cherries and Dumplings

June 30, 2018 By Your Allergy Chefs

celebrating foods free

It’s time to celebrate and we’re going big with one of summer’s favorite stone fruits, CHERRIES!!! What doesn’t go better with cherries than light and fluffy dumplings? Cherries and Dumplings, this is one of Joel’s favorite desserts that we’ve also made as a soup.

Why are we celebrating? Joel just finished an amazing 3-month strength and conditioning program called CozmoSize.

It’s been a grueling workout program that has pushed him beyond his limits of strength and dedication, let alone, getting up before the crack of dawn. Joel’s trainer Matt, powerful in every way, has been a positive influence on how Joel looks at exercise, and now pushes the limits of his strength.

Don’t miss this awesome quote from Socrates regarding physical training…

We’re not trying to rush fall, but we just finished developing recipes for the fall issue of Allergic Living Magazine. Of course, squash and more squash are the stars.

Spaghetti squash is technically a winter squash, but is readily available now. We had plenty leftover to play with.

We love it. In fact, it’s hard to call it our favorite squash with so many good ones, but yes! It’s right up there and we couldn’t wait until fall to share a super simple recipe we made with just a few ingredients.
