DAIRY FREE EVAPORATED MILK
Use this as a substitute for canned evaporated milk in all your favorite sweets recipes

12 ounces coconut milk
12 ounces rice milk

shake can of coconut milk well to incorporate the “cream” that solidifies at the top of the can.
Combine with the rice milk in a heavy-bottomed pot on medium-high heat. Stirring occasionally, bring to slow boil. turn heat to lowest setting and let simmer, stirring occasionally until liquid has reduced by half. cooking time is very approximate. Measure evaporated milk as needed to ensure it has reduced sufficiently.
When finished, pour into a container and allow to cool to room temp before covering and placing in the fridge. Once cooled, the mixture will separate. That is easily remedied by whisking just before use and does not affect taste or outcome.
Perfect for making ahead and will keep 2-3 days refridgerated.

1 cup diced onion (I used 1½ cup, and I cooked the onions till transparent)
¼ teaspoon salt

I did add ½ teaspoon of sweet basil and garlic powder extra.
I also added 1 cup cheese of half white Cheddar and half Mozzarella cheese, and ½ cup extra Mozzarella cheese for after the baking, to put on direct after taking it out of the oven, and leave it like that for 2 minutes before taking it out of the muffin pan.

FOODS ALLOWED FOR CANDIDA DIET
VEGETABLES Artichokes
Asparagus
Avocado
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Cabbage
Celery
Cucumber
Eggplant
Garlic (raw)
Kale
Olives
Onions
Rutabaga
Spinach
Tomatoes
Zucchini Eating non-starchy vegetables starves the Candida of the sugar that feeds it. You should buy your vegetables fresh and eat them raw, steamed or grilled.
Avoid starchy vegetables such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams, corn, all winter squash, beets, peas, parsnips and beans. Olives are OK as long as they are not in distilled white vinegar.
LIVE YOGURT CULTURES Probiotic yogurt
Kefir Live yogurt cultures help your gut to repopulate with good bacteria. The live bacteria in the yogurt will crowd out the Candida yeast and restore balance to your system. This is especially useful after a course of antibiotics.
MEAT & EGGS Beef
Chicken
Lamb
Turkey
Eggs Eat only fresh and organic meat – processed meat (like lunch meat, bacon and spam) is loaded with dextrose, nitrates, sulfates and sugars.
Smoked or vacuum packed meats are also best avoided.
FISH Anchovies
Herring
Sardines
Wild salmon Wild salmon and sardines do contain ocean contaminants, but in much lower amounts than other seafood. Buy these fish fresh or packed in olive oil or water.
NUTS AND SEEDS Almonds
Coconut meat
Flax Seed
Hazelnuts
Pecans
Sunflower Seeds
Walnuts These nuts are healthy and have a low mold content. If you’re still worried about mold, soak them in a diluted grapefruit seed extract solution for a few hours.
For baking, almond flour and coconut flour are healthy options.
NON-GLUTINOUS GRAINS Buckwheat
Millet
Oat Bran
Quinoa These grains contain a high amount of fiber, excellent for keeping your digestive system moving and eliminating Candida toxins. Most products derived from this list are also OK – e.g. quinoa crackers, buckwheat flour. You can find these in the gluten-free section in health food stores.
HERBS AND SPICES Basil
Black Pepper
Cinnamon
Cloves
Dill
Garlic
Ginger
Oregano
Paprika
Rosemary
Thyme
Turmeric Many herbs and spices have antioxidant and antifungal properties. They can also improve circulation and reduce inflammation. They’re great for livening up food if you’re on a limited Candida diet.
OILS Virgin Coconut Oil
Olive Oil
Sesame Oil
Flax Oil
Coconut Oil
Red Palm Oil Use cold pressed oils where possible. Remember that heating or boiling can destroy many of the oil’s nutrients.
SEASONING Black Pepper
Sea Salt
Lemon Juice
Coconut Aminos
Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic, Raw, Unfiltered) Coconut Aminos are a great alternative to soy sauce. And you can use apple cider vinegar to make some delicious salad dressings.
BEVERAGES Chicory root coffee
Cinnamon Tea
Peppermint Tea
Ginger Tea
Licorice Tea These are just a few of the herbal teas that have antifungal properties.
Chicory root is also a great prebiotic (it contains 20% Inulin), so it can help to repopulate your gut with healthy bacteria too.
SWEETENERS Stevia
Xylitol Stevia and xylitol can be used in place of sugar and they have a much smaller effect on your blood sugar levels.

CURRIED CHICKPEA BURGERS
(Gluten Free, Vegan, Dairy Free, Egg Free)
Makes 8 burgers
175 g cooked quinoa
1 x 400 g tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 carrots
1 white onion
1 tablespoon curry paste of your choice, just ensure it is gluten and dairy free
3 tablespoons gram flour
3 tablespoons olive oil

Begin by peeling the onion and carrots and then finely grating, either by hand or using a food processor. Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan and then gently fry the onion and carrots until softened – approximately 10 minutes.

Place the chickpeas and cooked quinoa into a large mixing bowl and crush together with a fork until you have a coarse, lightly-bound paste. Add the softened onion, carrot and curry paste, season with a little sea salt and black pepper and mash together with a fork until bound together.

Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 burger patties and then coat each burger in gram flour, using as much or as little flour as you need to generously coat the burgers.

Heat the remaining oil in the large frying pan over a medium flame, add the burgers to the pan and fry the burgers on both sides until golden, slightly crisp and heated through.

While the cakes are frying dice the tomatoes, avocado and coriander. Mix together in a small bowl with the lemon juice and season to taste. Serve the burgers with a little pile of tomato salad on top and whatever accompaniments you like – roasted sweet potato wedges and a big green salad go very well.
