JEANINE FINELLI’S BELLA’S BRUSCHETTASERVES 6-8◆ 1 long and thin loaf of Italian or French bread◆ 2 4-32 ounces organic grape tomatoes (assorted colors if you can find them!)◆ 2 large garlic cloves◆ Fresh basil◆ Dried oregano◆ Olive oil◆ R oasted eggplant dip (homemade recipe below or store bought) OR 1 container of part skim Ricotta cheeseMETHODPreheat oven to 350. Slice the bread into thin slices – about ¼to ½ inch thick – this makes each bruschetta still very low carbper serving, but crisps the bread enough to enjoy as a finger foodwithout it falling out of your hand and onto your lap. Line theslices up on a cookie sheet and using a pastry brush- brush bothsides with olive oil. Bake 5 to 7 minutes on each side until lightbrown and crispy – be careful not to over bake as they get harderas they cool and breaking a tooth on bruschetta won’t be superfun- remove from oven and cool .Wash and dry the tomatoes – cutthem in half. Place on a baking sheet drizzled with olive oil, 2-3pinches of dried oregano, 3-4 pinches of salt, drizzle again –coverevenly.Roast tomatoes on 200-225 degrees (ovens vary) for about 2 hoursuntil nice and soft stirring once or twice - Remove from oven andcool (You can read a book, meditate, catch up on emails or dolaundry while they are roasting!)In the mean time – gently rub a raw garlic clove on one side ofeach piece of cooled bread (I like a hint of garlic and no morethan that which is why I don’t chop it and add it to the tomatoes)Spread a thin layer of the pureed roasted eggplant OR the ricottaon the garlic side of the bread. Place a spoonful of the cooledtomato mixture on top of the cheese or eggplant Arrange them allon a serving dish and sprinkle …with extra Gusto…fresh choppedbasil on top. Don’t worry about being neat here…the “rustic-ness”makes it look bellissimo!If you can’t get store bought quality eggplant spread: Peel theskin off of 2 eggplants and slice very thin or in small cubes Placeon a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil - add 2-3 pinches ofsalt…then drizzle with olive oil again. Roast on 375 for 20-30 orminutes until soft enough to puree in blender or bullet (gentlystir once) – add extra olive oil to blend smoothly (you can do thisahead of time and keep in the refrigerator –just warm it up beforespreading it on the bruschetta) Extra eggplant is a great cheese orhummus substituteBuon Appetito! 25 www.thenewself-healthmovement.com

MICHELE PENCE’SIRRESISTIBLE KALE CHIPSEVEN YOUR KIDS WILL LOVE!Dietary consideration: Full Gaps Diet approved◆ 2 Loving hands◆ 1 Kale Bunch◆ 1 Medium to large Bowl◆ 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Cold pressed preferably)◆ 1/2 tsp Sea Salt (Celtic or Himalayan)◆ 1 tsp to a pinch of Paprika◆ 1 Large baking tray◆ OvenPrep time: 5 -10 minutesBaking time 10-12 minutesMETHODPreheat your oven to 400 degrees. Take your Kale Bunch and washthem under running water. Then pat them dry with paper towels,you don’t want them dripping wet. Try to get off as much of themoister as you can. Then start by removing the center ribs andstems from 1 bunch kale; tear the leaves into 3-to-4-inch piecesand place them in your bowl. Don’t over fill your bowl so you haveenough room to toss your kale chips in your oil, etc. Once thedesired about of kale chips are in your bowl, add in 1 tablespoon ofyour olive oil (I usually eye this) and toss, then I add in 1/2 teaspoonof sea salt and toss again. You don’t want your kale leaves drippingwith oil, so just lightly toss them in the oil and salt. The sea saltwill help the kale chips really taste like chips.Once you’re donewith that, lay your kale chips out on your baking tray. Try not tooverlap them as best at you can. Then sprinkle your paprika overtop of your kale chips. You can use up to 1 teaspoon of paprika orjust a pinch, make it to your liking. Put them in the oven for about10-12 minutes or until the kale chips edges are browned and crisp.Roughly per serving (about 2 cups): Calories 60; Fat 4 g (saturated 1g); Cholesterol 0 mg; Sodium 170 mg; Carbohydrate 6 g; Fiber 2 g;Protein 2 gOven temperatures do vary so please keep an eye on your Kalechips. If you need to take them out of the oven sooner (the edgesare starting to really brown faster than time above says) then goahead and take them out of the oven.  Or if they kale chips edgesaren’t browning then keep them in a little longer.  You get the idea. 29 www.thenewself-healthmovement.com
