recipes that don't contain nuts or dates...

[britaniefaith]

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good recipes that don't call for any nuts or dates? It seems like most the recipes I find that look really good are filled with tons of nuts and/or dates, etc. Which is fine but it's overloading my stomach and I need to tone it down a bit!

thanks!!:D

Do you have alissa's book?
It's full of recipes without nuts or dates.

Are you looking for main meals or dessert type things.

Are you looking for something sweet or savory?What recipes are looking good to you?

For sweet :
-banana papaya pudding
-chocolate coconut milkshakes
-any smoothie recipe
-make a pie filling without the crust! Alissa's blueberry filling is delicious

non-sweet:
Veggie pasta! Any tomato sauce would be your best bet, though you can make nut-free pesto (or might I suggest hemp-seeds) I don't eat nuts, but I love pumpkin and hemp seeds in moderation, they don't trigger binging or aggravate my tum.

Most soup recipes (might i suggest alissa's broccoli soup, minus the almonds)

Many variations on dips - simple guacamole with fresh cut veggies, or rolled into collard wraps

nori rolls
seaweed salad

sunflower seed pate

You can do the crust.
I made the one yesterday that was shown here on a video link that was made from crushed sunflower seeds, chocolate or carob powder, a little agave and some water.
It was very nice and very filling.

oooh thanks everyone!! I do have alissa's book but it seems to me that most of the recipes did contain some nuts... I wonder if I cut them out of the recipe if it would still be the same? maybe if I replaced it with flaxseeds or pumpkin, sunflower, etc? I can't eat hempseeds... they don't digest well with me at all. mainly i'm looking for lunch/dinner ideas...

I too would be interested in nut-less ideas. My dh is allegic to nuts so I can't make anything with nuts at all.dang it!:mad:

A no-nut staple in my diet is a sunflower pate. I use a basic recipe from "The Raw Gourmet" and use it plain or add lots of extras when I feel like it.

My version of her recipe is 1 1/2 cups soaked sunflower seeds, 1/2 lemon juiced, a Tlb more or less of Braggs Aminos and a clove of garlic chopped. Wiz them all in a food processor until smooth mostly creamy texture is achieved.

I mostly use this pate to line collard leaves and then add vegetable sticks like cucumber & red pepper and roll them up. I do like it too on salads, just put a big scoop in the middle of your salad creation. A very satisfying pate which can be embellished so many ways.

parsley pate, chunky vegetable pate, spicy pate etc. etc.

Hope this helps.
