We often get requests for this Thanksgiving favorite every year. It is a traditional favorite that, with it’s tart and somewhat bitter tang, really helps to cut through the richness of all the other dishes. Yet another great recipe from Wholesome Yum, this is a healthy, fresh alternative to the canned, overly-sweetened cranberry sauces. It will be one of the easiest sides you make for Thanksgiving, yet will yield a lot of flavor and beautiful color on your table.
This very easy recipe is so delicious that is can stand alone as a side dish or eaten on top of chicken, beef or even spooned over vegetables. It’s so decadent and rich, that it turns any ordinary meal into a very special dinner. Company will think you have gone to all kinds of trouble when you serve this sauce along with your favorite dish, but it is very simple to make. You can easily double this recipe to be used with other meals, as well.
This recipe is great on chicken, green beans, etc.
If you’re looking for a great way to make your everyday meals more special, this recipe will not disappoint. Sauces always elevate your dishes, and create greater food satisfaction. This sauce is delicious served over chicken or salmon, or even over cauliflower rice.
This Alfredo Sauce is a delicious cashew-based sauce that gets its cheesy flavor from nutritional yeast, which is actually deactivated yeast. Found in most grocery stores (usually next to regular yeast), it provides a very nutty, cheese-like flavor that is a great source of B-vitamins. You can always sprinkle nutritional yeast on veggies or other foods by itself for a little extra cheesy flavor. You can use this Alfredo Sauce over any vegetable, spiraled vegetable noodles, chicken or anything you like.
Sour Cream is great topping on many dishes, but not so good for those trying to avoid dairy. There are two sour cream recipes below and both are creamy, rich and tangy – just like sour cream. While they don’t taste exactly like dairy sour cream, they certainly are close and a very tasty alternative. Once added to your food, you will barely notice the difference. The cashew-based recipe is creamier and very neutral in flavor, while the coconut cream-based recipe does have a mild coconut flavor. Both are good.

Homemade tartar sauce is easy to make and better than anything you can buy at a store.

Sauces always take food to the next level, making it more appealing and special. It’s one more reason to love healthy fat! Dill pickles are used, because there is no added sugar – unlike sweet pickle relish. There are two recipe options, depending on your tastes and what you have in the pantry.

Looking for a recipe for all those homegrown tomatoes? Marinara Sauce is a perfect solution that doesn’t contain sugar, which is in so many store-bought sauces. It is a quick and very easy sauce, seasoned traditionally with garlic, spices, herbs and crushed red pepper. Marinara can be as chunky or pureed as you prefer and is a perfect complement to zucchini noodles, grilled or roasted vegetables or even with chicken. Out of season, you can always use a quality canned tomato, like San Marzano, whether whole or diced. Depending on the size of your fresh tomato, it can equal 1-1.5 cups canned. Drain the liquid, reserving only if more is needed after cooking.
Plan: (Standard, Vegan/Vegetarian, & Maintenance) Serving information: Makes 6 servings. A serving is 1 tbsp butter and covers your fat at your meal. INGREDIENTS INSTRUCTIONS
Simple is wonderful. Much thanks to Cathy Blanks for submitting this easy recipe that can be used in so many ways. Sauces always seem to elevate any everyday dish, and this one is no exception. Use it as a topping on a hamburger or turkey burger, on steak, grilled chicken, salmon, or even as a dressing for a salad. Cathy likes it on tuna cakes (Wild-Caught Salmon Patties would be great, too) or Applegate Farms Hotdogs, as well.
Worcestershire sauce has been a frequently requested condiment over the years; however, traditional brands contain sugar and molasses. After trying many recipes, I think we have found the answer! You can use Worcestershire sauce in many ways to add a depth of flavor to your recipes – like marinades, soups, burgers, roast beef, salad dressings, roasted vegetables or even scrambled eggs. A little bit goes a long way, so you don’t have to worry how it fits into the plan. Just enjoy!
The creamy poppyseed dressing will become a favorite on any salad, but works very well with the sweetness of the berries.
Just because you are trying to lose weight, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy delicious dressings or dips for your salads and vegetables. They add flavor and fun to your meals – and flavor means staying away from low-fat, low-calorie dressings with artificial sweeteners and unhealthy fats like canola and soybean oil. This recipe was sent to us from Karen, one of our clients. It is a bit different than the ranch dressing used in our Buffalo Cauliflower Bites, and really tastes great. Even her family enjoyed it!
One of our most requested recipes is for salad dressing. It is one of the hardest things to purchase off of the grocery store shelves, as they are so full of inflammatory fats like soybean, canola or cottonseed vegetable oils. Their heavy content of Omega-6 fatty acids sets us up for a lot of trouble, including weight gain. This recipe includes the ultimate fat-burner – MCT oil. If you don’t have any on hand, you can always use more olive oil. More options are given for different flavors, too. Primal Kitchen is a newer product on the shelves that is made with healthy avocado oil and is Genesis Health Solutions plan-approved, but there’s nothing like creamy homemade dressing with fresh herbs.
This DIY ranch seasoning mix from Wholesome Yum is much healthier than the traditional ranch dressing packets, which contain maltodextrin (sugar), MSG, and other artificial ingredients. You can use this mix to make dressing (below), sprinkle over veggies or to sprinkle over other dishes as a flavor enhancer. You can purchase heavy cream powder on Amazon. Anthony’s Heavy Cream Powder seems to be the purest available, as so many others (even organic) have milk solids and other ingredients in them. Always read the labels ingredients on everything!
Salad dressing is one of those items that can be troublesome when trying to eat a healthy, anti-inflammatory lifestyle… but it doesn’t have to be. Vinaigrette’s are so easy and add a lot of variety. With frozen berries year-round, you don’t have to just limit yourself to fresh summer berries with this sweet and savory recipe. While a vinaigrette made with frozen, thawed berries is best in a blender, you can also just mash fresh berries for a chunkier texture. Raspberry flavor is great in a salad, but think outside the box and serve it over roasted or grilled vegetables (asparagus, green beans, butternut squash, etc.), grilled salmon or chicken. Brighten up a bowl of fresh-diced summer vegetables, as well.
Roasting garlic is something everyone should do and something you will want to make often after you try it. Probably our easiest recipe of all time, but one that packs a lot of flavor… the sharp garlic becomes very mellow and sweet when roasted and spreads like a jam. You can add it to soups, stews, gravy, casseroles, mayonnaise, cooked vegetables, mixed into butter, mixed into hamburger meat before grilling, on top of steak or chicken, in salad dressing, guacamole, rubbed on cauliflower pizza crust in your manual or even mixed into salsa. The possibilities are endless.
This sauce is so easy to make and goes well with any vegetable or meat recipe.

Finally! We have been working to provide a teriyaki sauce for a while. I’ve just never been that pleased with the results. This sauce is so easy, provides great flavor and more options for your meals. If you haven’t yet found the Dorot Gardens ginger, it is so handy. I purchase it at our Forest Kroger in the freezer section. I have seen it in both the frozen vegetable and frozen fruit areas. Very nice to have on hand. This sauce is easily doubled if you need more for dipping or other recipes.
The freshness and flavor of Greek foods are incredibly inviting, and Tzatziki sauce is no exception. Submitted by Mary Clugston, this recipe is a delicious way to add a tangy flavor of Greece to any meal – without the dairy. Typically made with yogurt, this recipe uses coconut cream for a GHS plan-approved dip for meat or vegetables, or as a salad dressing. Tzatziki lasts about 3 days in the frig before the cucumbers start to break down and become watery. Simply cut the recipe in half if it’s more than needed.
Yum Yum sauce is a Japanese steak house mayonnaise that is creamy, slightly sweet, yet tangy. It makes a great dipping sauce for chicken, beef, fish or veggies. It is an incredibly simple and quick recipe that will really elevate an ordinary meal.
It’s always nice when you can take advantage of the fresh seasonal ingredients at farmer’s markets or your local grocer. This recipe is a perfect example of utilizing seasonal summer produce, while adding a delicious burst of flavor to your menu. Incorporating your fruit into your recipes also lends to more variety and makes your dishes special. It is a perfect complement to serve over grilled chicken or fish or even with raw cucumber slices. It’s also great spooned over a cup of chopped lettuce topped with 3 oz. of taco meat and topped with MCT, avocado or olive oil.
Add a burst of flavor to any meal with Blueberry Balsamic Vinaigrette by Dr. Cindy Tanzar! Creamy, tangy, and Genesis-approved, it’s perfect on salads, chicken, or salmon.
RICH TURKEY GRAVY
This Genesis-friendly Caesar dressing by Dr. Cindy Tanzar delivers bold, classic flavor using clean ingredients you can trust. Anchovy paste, garlic, lemon, and olive oil blend into a silky, restaurant-quality dressing that pairs perfectly with salads, veggies, or grilled protein. Simple to make, rich in flavor, and ideal for both Standard and Maintenance plans!
A key to maintaining a healthy eating lifestyle is incorporating a variety of foods and flavors into your meal planning. There are a hundred ways to prepare an everyday piece of chicken that can transform what would normally be a boring meal into something special and flavorful. Red Pepper Salsa is an incredible flavor booster that can be used on chicken, fish, beef or even vegetables. You can buy roasted peppers already roasted in a jar (without sugar) or roast them at home. They are so easy to make. Balsamic vinegar adds great flavor to this recipe. Purchase one without added sugars (and never “sugar free,” meaning artificial sweeteners). Most will have a natural fruit sugar as part of the ingredients, which is fine in the small quantity used.
This is such an easy recipe and a great way to use up garden tomatoes. You can forego the peeling of the tomatoes and straining of the seeds and blend the marinara to be chunky or smooth. The slow-roasted taste is richer and lends a much fresher taste than canned varieties.
This popular dressing/sauce is frequently requested by our clients. It just goes so well with so many things… salads, sausages, burgers, chicken, etc.
