Welcome to Our Nutrition Kitchen
Make peace with food, rediscover the pleasure of eating, and reclaim your health.
Bread without gluten? No-wheat pizza? How to get more greens? (and reds, orange, yellows, purples…?) Our amazing recipes use healthy, nutrient-dense and anti-inflammatory whole foods for favorite recipe “make-overs”. Just click on a category and start exploring.
Too many websites and “helpful” folks make big promises yet just want to sell you something. It’s a sales and marketing appeal to the quick fix. Have these people actually created a personal relationship to get someone better? We often have to “undo” these diets, misadventures and “guessing games” based on something they heard, from someone else who heard…
You get it. And that is why we pack each article and recipe with information. Knowledge is Power. And you can play with your food 🙂

Zucchini Lasagne
I made my own cashew cheese and this is how I made it:
1 cup mixed nuts or cashews, soaked in water to cover and a bit of salt for at least 2 hours.
Drain soaked nuts and add the following along with the nuts in a food processor and process until smooth…Set aside.
2 tbsp water
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt
In a skillet brown 1 lb of ground meat (used turkey) with 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Drain and set aside.
Add 1 tsp butter or avocado oil to the skillet and saute 3 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 large chopped onion, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked meat and add 1 – 28 oz can crushed tomatoes or crush your own using the pulse option in the food processor, 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil, black pepper to taste and any other spices you may want to add for a spicier sauce. I added taco seasoning (1-2 teaspoons or to taste) plus I added some green chile paste (1/2 tsp) or you can add your favorite hot sauce for flavor. Simmer on low 30-40 minutes, covered.
While it is simmering, slice 2 medium sized zucchini into 1/8 thick slices (no need to remove the skin), sprinkle with salt and set aside for 10 minutes. (The salt will take out moisture) Blot excess moisture with a paper towel. Grill the zucchini slices until slightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. (this also will help reduce moisture) I put my zucchini under the broiler for a few minutes. I did not see too much moisture in my zucchini.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix the cashew nut cheese you made earlier with a small amount of goat cheese and yogurt to make a smooth cheese..consistency of ricotta cheese. (alternately – 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, 1 large egg – mix together until smooth)
Build the casserole:
Put a layer of tomato meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×12 casserole dish, layer zucchini, add the cheese mixture on top, sprinkle with shredded parmesan, add a layer of meat sauce and keep layering like this until you run out of zucchini. Put a layer of sauce on the top along with shredded parmesan cheese. (you can use mozzarella or a combination of shredded cheeses)
Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 minutes then remove from the oven (If you are using mozzarella put that on the top for about 10 minutes to melt and brown.)
and let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!!!!
Wow. I just made this and it is delicious Denise! Thanks for taking the time to post. I love nutritional yeast for its high levels of B-vitamin complex. Most supplements make B vitamins out of coal tar and those synthetic supplements include only a few B vitamins. I don’t know why anyone thinks B vitamins from coal tar work in the human body but they sure sell by the $millions in everything from “sports protein” to “energy enhancers” to over the counter “B vitamins”. Yeast is one of the few vegetarian sources of B vitamins. While it doesn’t have B12 and some others that are found strictly in animals, it is a great addition. I’m always looking for recipes, this is excellent!
