Cultured Butter Recipe: In My Kitchen

Cultured Butter: In My Kitchen (a recipe)

Tara Carpenter, NC.

Holistic nutrition for stronger digestion; especially yeast overgrowth related health issues.

Originally published on November 6, 2018.

I make cultured butter a few times in the year; mainly late summer into early autumn and late spring into early summer when I can more easily source fresh, raw pastured cream. I turn that into crème fraîche and then churn that into sturdy, golden mounds of delicious probiotic-rich butter “a.k.a. cultured butter” (see beginner’s recipe below).

Coconut Roll-Out Cookies for The Body Ecology Diet

Roll-Out Coconut Cookie

Tara Carpenter, NC.

Nutritional support for yeast, bacterial, and viral overgrowth-related health conditions with The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.).

Most coconut flour cookies I find taste more like cardboard than cookie and I was reluctant to create a recipe for one, yet after being asked to create one for people healing on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.) I decided to give things a go 🙂

I am pleasantly surprised how they turned out; they roll like a dream and are as moist as I could get without the dough falling apart. I hope you enjoy this versatile cookie for times when you must avoid refined sugar, gluten, and yeast. This cookie includes eggs. If you can’t eat eggs, then try my egg-free recipe for almond cookies.

Watermelon Popsicles for FUN

I hesitated to write this recipe because it’s so simple. Yet, we don’t bring our basket of cookie cutters down off the shelf everyday and I got some photos, so here goes an easy-to-make recipe.

True to name, watermelon is an excellent source of water …. one cup contains 20% of your daily value of vitamin C and 14% for vitamin A. Watermelon also has a lower calorie content than most fruit; delivering more nutrients per calorie.

Bubbly Blueberry Jelly: Probiotic-Rich Recipe

Bubbly Blueberry Jelly: Probiotic-Rich Recipe

Tara Carpenter, NC.

Holistic nutrition for people on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.).

Originally published September 10, 2016

Early to mid-August here in Vermont tends to be blueberry season here in Vermont where I live, and my boys and I pick up to 4 gallons most years. We can only eat so much before our teeth start to hurt (!!), so I end up freezing the bulk of them.

Here is my method to freeze blueberries …. lay berries out whole on as many trays as you need, and then double bag in Ziploc freezer bags. This way, the berries won’t stick together when you go to use them later.

I reserve any mushy berries to puree with chia (or flax) seeds and pour into ice cube trays that go in freezer too. The nicest berries are put aside to make jello, almond crusted tarts, fruit leather, and of course blueberry jelly 🙂

I stopped eating normal jelly when I was on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.) to heal yeast overgrowth. This gut healing protocol avoids sugar, including fruit sugars. I also really like food combining and find it hard to find anything that jelly ‘combines’ with, though it’s pretty tasty on raw flax crackers with some pumpkin seed butter 😉

Lakanto: A Sugar for Diabetes & Yeast Overgrowth

I found lakanto while doing The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.) to heal yeast overgrowth (Candida). This healing protocol suggested avoiding honey, white/raw sugar, maple syrup, and other sweeteners I relied on.

After weeks without sweets, I was thrilled to find lakanto to make sweet treats that I could eat! This sugar alternative doesn’t feed harmful pathogens (i.e. GBS+, Candida) nor does it make our blood acidic like most sweeteners do. It’s also safe for diabetics or hypoglycemics as lakanto doesn’t influence insulin or blood sugar levels.

Food Combining Foods That Heal Nutritional Consultations The Body Ecology Diet

The Skinny on Food Combining

Example of really bad food combining

I food combine most every meal and every day. It’s the one food secret I wish somebody had told me about way earlier. Before I met ‘food combining’ I wore stretchy pants because I was so bloated that people thought I was pregnant. Now, I fit into jeans I wore in college and feel more slender with curves I thought were long gone. Always a nice thing…

Pomegranate Jello Recipe

013The perfect treat for a hot summer morning and a sneaky way to get gelatin into you (+ kids). I created this jello while on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D) to heal a chronic case of yeast overgrowth. My kids did this gut healing protocol too, so I had to get creative in the food department 🙂

The B.E.D. protocol avoids all fruit because most fruit contains too much natural sugars, which feeds yeast, bacterial, and viral overgrowth. The only exceptions to this rule are the acidic fruits like lemons, limes, acai, sour green apples, black currants, cranberries, and pomegranates …. hence this recipe.
