Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Pam,What about lemon curd? It is made with 1/2 c lemon juice, 6 egg yolks, 1/2 butter chilled in cubes, 1/2 honey. Using a double boiler or a non-reactive bowl over a pan of gently boiling water, whisk the juice, egg yolks, and honey together. As it warms, add a piece of butter and stir until melted. Continue doing the same with all the pieces of butter. Cook for about 5-10 minutes more until thickened. Let cool and chill. Can have on toast, in pastry cups, on meringue nests, or mixed with fresh berries.AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Tue, March 2, 2010 7:55:56 PMSubject: I need DESSERT!!!! Help! Today is one of those days I want a treat for myself. I might make PB Cookies but with Almond Butter instead. Any other suggestions as to what I can make for myself? I'm almost 4 months into the diet, and tolerant many things well, but am not sure about nuts. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I just made some lime curd. Indistinguishable from lemon curd, both in looks and taste ;-). It's dang good though! I think I'll experiment with less butter next time, because it's too rich to have more then a couple tablespoons at a time. Holly Crohn's SCD 12/01/08 > > Pam, > > What about lemon curd?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 One of my favorites: Cherry Clafouti! You need to sub baking soda for baking powder to make it SCD legal: http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/2009/06/5-dish-cherry-clafouti-grain-dairy-a\ nd-gluten-free.html Do you eat yogurt? If so, my favorite vanilla ice cream recipe is at http://nomorecrohns.com/desserts.aspx . Cheesecake is very good too (from the BTVC book), as in the Pumpkin Pie recipe in BTVC (I sub butternut squash for pumpkin). I haven't tried it yet, but this White " Chocolate " recipe looks really yummy: http://www.comfytummy.com/2010/02/15/scd-white-chocolate-candy/ Meringues are also good. I usually make half a batch with vanilla, and half with peppermint. Holly Crohn's SCD 12/01/08 > > Help! Today is one of those days I want a treat for myself.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I went through this too. I found that cutting out honey helped. I was putting it on yogurt and in peppermint tea.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Yes, I have to watch it and it frustrates me. I had to watch it before SCD too, except when I was sick. It's good to feel well thankfully, but I can't eat everything as much as I want. I found that I have to limit the nuts and carbs. Fats are ok, but in limited quantities too. It seems unfair to be on a limited diet and have to limit that too, but being on healthy foods helps. The " good " part about gaining weight is that the body is finally absorbing things. Then some have to watch it. And it varies from person to person. My husband is one of those people who can eat anything and not gain an ounce.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I started SCD last July and in the first couple of months lost a few pounds. This put me a little below the middle of my height/build category. Things stayed that way until last month when I couldn't figure out (not having changed the diet except adding a few veggies, no baking yet) why I suddenly gained five pounds! Then I read that taking care of candida can allow one to gain weight that couldn't be gained before, implying this was for skinny people. Well, I wasn't skinny and wanting to gain, because this now put me in the upper part of my weight limits. But, I am just cutting back a bit and have lost a pound or two. Just some fine tuning.
