Lasagna

OMG!!!!!! How come it took me so long before I actually got around to making this special treat!! Chad has been having a VERY hard time not eating his old comfort foods, so I decided it would be better to sway slightly from the restrictive healing diet and throw in a few goodies now and again to keep him afloat and not eating pizza!! Some suggestions I got on the CyberMacro discussion group was to make him pizza or lasagna with the macro tomatoless tomato sauce. This is simply made with carrots, onions and a beet to mimic the color of real tomato sauce. It was DIVINE!!!!! Then we used tofu with ume vinegar instead of ricotta cheese and grated mochi in place of mozzerella cheese. The only stuff in this that is not on the "healing" macro diet is tofu, the beet (as a beet is a nightshade vegetable...more on that some other time) and the whole wheat lasagna noodles. All of these things are ok in a normal macro diet. Nightshade vegetables are on the once in a while list. If you have any interest in watching a video of the late and great Luchi Baranda cooking this recipe, here it is:

Hopefully I am not breaking any laws by publishing that!! This video was filmed in the very place that Chad and I first learned the macro diet and Luchi was our teacher. Enjoy!!!!!!!
