FAT-BURNING SALAD DRESSING

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.

ROASTED GARLIC (and what to do with it)

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.

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.
