I am a secret meat eater, but only two people in my family know, my mom and dad. I became a vegetarian at age 16 as a rebellion and now I still wear this as a badge of willpower and honor even though I am secretly eating bison, ostrich, elk and venison every week. I enjoy oxtail soup like water and because I'm a Jew I will never be turning down chopped chicken liver with schmaltz.
I have some turkey from Thanksgiving and as a I cannot eat wheat or gluten, soy, corn or milk products there are times that I get strong cravings for comfort foods. Lo and behold the substitution method. This weekend I have come up with a way to mimic the taste and look of a traditional Turkey Pot Pie, but instead I use only coconut flour and guar gum as the crust. I made Turkey Pot Pie Muffins and Turkey Pot Pie Mini Calzones. The recipe works for both. I hate typing directions so here are the ingredients, nutrition facts and pictures:
Ingredients:
-20g Turkey breast or dark meat, cut into small strips
-1/4 c. chicken broth
-3g golden flaxseed meal
-3 TBSP light unsweetened coconut milk
-28g coconut flour
-43g egg white
-24g red onion, chopped
-1/4 c. each chopped broccoli florets, shitake and oyster mushrooms
-3g guar gum
-1 tsp non-aluminum baking powder
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp parsley
-1/2 tsp black pepper
-1/2 tsp sea salt
-1 packet stevia

Due to my profession, not that I'm a professional I have gotten to attend some industry trade shows for food. It's nice because as much as I would prefer to attend a trade show for shoes or clothing to get free apparel, I know that I'm not a vampire and I don't eat soles, lol. I can't eat a pair of jeans, but I can eat almond butter until it's coming out of every hole and sticking to the roof of my mouth. I went to three trade shows and got a lot of free food and food items, some of which I gave away to family, especially from the All Candy and Snacks Expo that was in May. I also got all of the new flavors of the Larabar from another trade show in August.

Oh no I spilled venison spaghetti on my Rick Owens sweater. I eat pretty esoterically and I feel if everyone ate like me the world would be a better place. I'm a once raw vegan, turned onto meat again due to my need for the protein. I eat game meat, primarily bison, ostrich, elk, and venison. Although I will say I support people that are vegan, as long as they are vegan for ethical reasons, but I was not vegan for any ethical reasons. I was vegan because I thought I would be healthier and thinner. Not true if you eat copious amounts of cashew butter and melon. I should have been on an ice cream diet, it would have been more fun. I would consider myself a hunter gatherer type. If the food doesn't grow in the ground, fly, swim, or run, I won't eat it. I also believe in eating the rainbow, not the Skittles variety, but rather every color imaginable. I saute radicchio in lemon juice so it becomes a bright hot pink/deep purple. I eat every color of cauliflower and I eat a lot of avocado and colorful squashes. I need a full palette for my palate.
