Zucchini

Zucchini and carrots cut into slices, dipped in egg then almond flour and

sauteed in olive oil? Maybe some grated cheddar cheese over it?

New Year’s Eve Gelatin

1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin

2 cups cold legal grape juice, white or purple, divided use

2 tablespoons honey

2 cups club soda (or champagne if it is legal)

8 fresh strawberries, hulled, optional

In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup cold grape juice; let

stand for 1 minute. Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin is

completely dissolved. Add honey and continue stirring for one minute.

Remove from heat; stir in remaining grape juice. Cool to room temperature.

Transfer gelatin mixture to a large bowl. Slowly stir in soda or champagne.

Pour half of the mixture into eight champagne or parfait glasses. Add one

strawberry to each glass (optional). Chill glasses and remaining gelatin

mixture until almost set, about 1 hour or up to 2 hours.

Place the reserved gelatin mixture in a blender. Cover and process until

foamy. Pour into glasses. Chill for 4 hours or until set.

Notes: 1. This presentation of this recipe in stemmed wine glasses is

beautiful, festive and fun.

2. The club soda will lose its fizz, so this recipe should be made in the

morning of the day you are going to serve it.

3. This is an adapted recipe from a holiday cookbook. The original recipe

calls for champagne in place of the club soda. I didn't try to figure out

if there is a legal champagne, I just used the club soda.

4. The original recipe uses white grape juice. I know that Welch's white

grape juice is supposed to be legal, but I have never tried it with Sam and

wanted to stay with what I know works with him, so I used Kedem (purple)

grape juice.

Party Sausage Balls

1/3 recipe of Savory Turkey Sausage or 1 pound SCD legal sausage

2 cups grated cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces)

2 cups almond flour

1/2 teaspoon cayenne, optional if your sausage is not very spicy

Butter or oil a cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 375.

Mix all ingredients well. (I finally took off my ring and mixed by hand.)

Shape into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Serve warm.

These can be made in advance and frozen. Place the sausage balls on a

cookie sheet and put in freezer. Transfer balls to a freezer bag when

completely frozen. When ready to use, thaw the desired amount of sausage

balls and cook as directed above.

Note: I adapted this recipe from one that made the rounds when I was growing

up and appeared at all parties and church potlucks.

I made these for Christmas Eve, but I couldn’t bear to use my precious

almond flour and homemade sausage for the extended family who could care

less. So I made the old Bisquick recipe for them and they loved it. But,

I’m telling you, the SCD recipe was so superior that I was embarrassed to

serve the other recipe to guests. I forced myself to live through the

embarrassment and the non SCD guests never knew the difference. Just in

case you want it: 1 pound sausage, 2 cups grated cheddar, 3 cups Bisquick.
