These are really, really good!

I had to use a bit more salt (it was really warm in my kitchen, and I wanted to retard fermentation), and I had to skim the top and stir up the whole vat of cukes halfway through fermentation, when they started to smell funky. After that, they fermented into the best pickles!
These are kind of like a frittata with no cheese, and the texture is like scrambled eggs (one of the only foods my son will eat). They have nearly everything necessary for a complete meal, and just need to be accompanied by fermented veggies and avocado (if tolerated).
1 quart soup http://www.lifeisapalindrome.com/recipes/gaps-pureed-soup
1 dozen really good quality eggs
~3/4 cup fat (I vary between lard and ghee)
Blend the soup and eggs together, adding salt if necessary.
This is an all-purpose soup that can be varied in infinite ways. This recipe makes approximately 8-12 cups. We don't eat it plain, but make it into "egg things" http://www.lifeisapalindrome.com/recipes/gaps-egg-things, which is essentially a solidified liquid diet for a severely picky GAPS patient.
1/4 cup fat (chicken fat, lard, ghee, coconut oil, or a mixture)
2 onions (and 2 stalks celery, if desired)
6 large garlic cloves
When I am making broth, I put a bunch of bones and water in an 8- to 16-qt pot with a few tbsp. of apple cider vinegar, and simmer it overnight. I skim the scum off the top, and try to use as many cartiligenous ingredients as possible (duck or chicken feet, knuckle bones, etc.). Good broth gells when it cools, but it's still nutritious if it doesn't gell.
Tastes like dinner at a Chinese Restaurant!
1/4 c. chicken fat, duck fat, or other fat
4 good-sized garlic cloves, pressed or minced
1 quart bone or meat broth http://www.lifeisapalindrome.com/recipes/information-about-making-broth
1 zucchini or yellow squash, grated
Salt and Pepper
a handful chopped cilantro (a bunch of chopped watercress is delicious, too)
6 beaten eggs
Saute garlic for a few seconds in fat, just until it's fragrant.
This recipe is based on the one by Cooks Illustrated; it produces a creamy, delicious, "restaurant style" hummus that is unlike the usual grainy dip that often emerges from the home food processor. I'm using canned beans here to illustrate quantities, but I usually make my own and don't measure so precisely--it's the technique that matters most, and adding enough salt, and not adding too much garlic. ;)
--2 small garlic cloves
--1 1/2 tsp. salt
5 large leeks, cleaned very well (split apart leaves all the way to
the base), and coarsely chopped
~8 cups carrots, washed and cut into large chunks
a potato, chopped or 1/2 cup red lentils
Olive oil
water
salt and pepper
Saute leeks slowly in olive oil (browned leeks are bitter) till
tender. Add carrots, potato or lentils, water to cover, and salt and
pepper. Bring to a boil, and simmer (or pressure cook for 1-3
minutes) until vegetables are tender. Puree with immersion blender.
1 1/4 pounds greens--mustard, kale, etc. (steamed, squeezed to expel
extra water, and chopped)
1/2 c. milk/milk substitute
1/2 c. dried tomatoes, or fresh or canned (drained)
8 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt (increase if omitting cheese)
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
2 c. shredded cheddar
1/2 c. Parmesan
small diced onion
Optional: put 2 c. cooked rice, salt and pepper, and 2 tbsp. olive
oil in the bottom of the 9x13" baking dish (gives the souffle more
substance).
1 large or 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
3 T red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp. salt, or to taste
2 15-oz. cans chickpeas, drained
1 large carrot, peeled and coarsely grated
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly milled black pepper
In a large bowl, combine the shallots, vinegar, garlic, and salt.
Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the shallots and garlic to mellow.
Yum!! :)
1 pound collards or kale, stems removed, chopped small
1 T olive oil
1 med. onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp. fresh or dry dill
2 tsp. dry oregano
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly milled pepper
6 oz. feta cheese, drained
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice (short grain)
1 T pine nuts to sprinkle on top, optional
Saute the onion in oil until clear and sweet. Add the garlic,
cooking for another minute and then the minced greens.

2 tbsp. olive oil
1 cinnamon stick, about 4 inches long
1 bay leaf
10 whole black peppercorns
1/2 tsp. coriander seeds
1 medium onion, minced
3 medium garlic cloevs, minced
1 tbsp. minced ginger root
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground turmeric
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes (or equivalent fresh or frozen)
Makes three cakes; cut each 5x8, to produce 40 pieces per cake.
If you use only 1/6 of the amount of ingredients listed, you will have enough cake batter and frosting for a 9x13" sheet cake, OR two 9-inch cake layers (you'll need about 1/5 of the amount of frosting in order to have enough for a layer cake). Bake for slightly less time for a smaller cake.
