Zucchini banana bread made with coconut flour and almond flour and sweetened with erythritol. It is gluten-free and paleo friendly, plus it's fairly anti-inflammatory and nutrient dense so it's an excellent choice for cancer patients and survivors.

I was given a bag of organic persimmons by a friend, who’d picked them on her family’s property. I experimented with a recipe to come up with a grain-free sugar-free persimmon bread that would be a good fit in my anti-inflammatory anti-cancer diet. It was so delicious I asked for more fruit and baked them as holiday gifts. This persimmon bread recipe is moist and has a good tooth. Most people who tried it didn’t even know it wasn’t made with wheat flour or sugar.

Persimmons are in season in Southern California in Fall. This bread works well as a dessert , snack or as a breakfast treat. Be sure the persimmons are ripe and organic.

You don’t have to wait for the holidays to make these super yum nutrient rich KETO PUMPKIN NUT MUFFINS. They are grain free and sugar free but nobody notices or cares because they’re so good! I added low FODMAP and paleo hacks too! Needless to say I will be making these a lot in the next few months as part of my anti-inflammatory anti-cancer diet.

This is another creative use of bone broth, which is so nourishing and healing. Bone broth has anti-inflammatory qualities, is high in vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Beef bone broth would be the traditional vehicle for pho. I like to combine beef and chicken bone broth but either alone will work well too. I like to add a lot of organic veggies to my pho too. Instead of rice noodles I’m using Japanese shirataki noodles (also known as Miracle Noodles,)

This recipe is a riff on cauliflower “rice” — this “couscous” contains no grains and the flavor profile is meant to compliment Mediterranean flavors. Cauliflower is beloved by keto advocates and dieters for many reasons — it is nutrient dense, it can provide some low calorie substitutions for carbs. Cauliflower is cruciferous so an excellent component of an anti cancer anti inflammatory diet.
