I see several people have talked about an Endo recipe thread but nobody has started one. I thought I'd do it and add my wife's favorite Endo recipe. Others will follow:
The best ever hearty vegetable soup.
Serves 6-8
blend the following well:
3 chunks of Ginger about 2 inches square 1 whole garlic peeled 1 foot long lemongrass 2 whole sticks celery up to the leaves 1 large red onion 1 tall glass water
Once blended, pour purée into a large pot, Add a liter of Organic sugar free vegetable stock or make your own.
Add to pot: 1 large potato chopped into cubes 3 medium carrots cut diagonally into pieces 1 green capsicum (AKA green bell pepper) chopped 1.5 cups green beans 1 red onion chopped 1 teaspoon dried sage 1 teaspoon dried marjoram 1 teaspoon dried rosemary 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon paprika 1 tablespoon of chopped Garlic 2 tablespoons sea saltsalt
Feel free to substitute fresh herbs instead of dried or whatever herbs you have in the cupboard or fridge instead of the ones I had in mine
Optional - Add a whole organic chicken cut into pieces to make the best chicken and veg soup ever
Boil on Medium heat for 30 - 40 minutes testing a carrot to see if it's done.
If you are eating it on your own, freeze much of it in small plastic containers that you can remove and heat as needed.

I was given the following wheat free ( not gluten free as uses spelt ) cookie recipe that I've adapted and now couldn't live without, esp as I find deserts thin on the ground with endo diet. It's also a good way to get coconut oil in your diet, however it's expensive for that reason AND as it uses a heck of a lot of maple syrup. You could probably use another sugar substitute but I haven't tried it yet, preferring to just treat myself with maple syrup and hog all the cookies to myself (bad girl!) ;D
Ingredients: 1 cup of spelt flour. 1 cup of coconut flakes. half a cup of virgin coconut oil. half a cup of maple syrup (1/4 - 1/2 of a cup of xylitol). 1/8 cup of roughly chopped (or whole) hazelnuts. 1/4 cup of ground almonds. half teaspoon of vanilla. 1/8 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda 1/8 teaspoon of salt.
Preparation: Mix the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda, nuts and coconut in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, cream the coconut oil, add the vanilla, and then add the maple and cream again (I use a hand blender for this). Mix together both the flour mixture and the creamed sugar mixture. Shape the dough into a roll 1-1/2 inches in diameter and wrap in clear plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours (this is important so the mix to holds together) Slice the roll at quarter-inch intervals and place rounds on a baking sheet. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15-20 minutes. If using a large oven, you may need to turn and leave in for a further 7-10 minutes. Allow to completely cool, before storing in cookie tins. Notes: This recipe makes approximately 20 cookies.
* * ** I have since made this with rice flour and it was even more delicious, plus you don't need to bother with the 6 hours in the fridge as well *** * *

i LOVE salads, and often make up a few different bowls so that for lunch i can take a mixture of salads to work. These are some of my favourites:
Easy bean salad!
Mix together in a large bowl: 1x tin of four bean mix (butter beans, kidney beans, chick peas, etc) 1x large tomato, diced 1/2 red capsicum, diced 1/2 green capsicum, diced
Make a dressing with ovilve oil, fresh lemon juice, pepper and a few garlic flakes/granules. Pour dressing onto beans and refrigerate, so that you can eat it cold.
Warm garlic potatoes
Cut potatoes into large chunks (skin on, i find the red or purple potatoes are the nicest) and boil in a saucepan until soft but not falling apart. Drizzle with olive oil and crushed garlic. While stiff over the heat, add a finely diced tomato until it goes kind of mushy. Then add some diced sun dried tomatoes and diced marinated capsicum. Stir through until it is all warm, and serve.
Pasta salad
Cook gluten free pasta according to packet instructions. Rinse with cold water and set aside to cool.
Finely dice half a crunchy red apple, several slices of tinned (unsweetened) pineapple, 1/2 a red capsicum and 1/2 a green capsicum. Mix these into the cooled pasta.
Make a thousand island style dressing by mixing one part mayonaise with one part tomato paste (NOT tomato sauce/ketchup), a drizzle of olive oil, a splash of white or red wine vinegar, and a sprinkle of pepper. Pour dressing onto pasta, mix well and refrigerate, serve cold.

I made a chicken pot roast the other day that was really tasty:
1 tablespoon olive oil 1 whole chicken (or for Rach we'll call it chook) cut into pieces 2 cloves garlic crushed or well chopped 2 medium carrots cut into pieces 2 potatoes cut into cubes 2 onions cut into quarters Herbs and to taste (I just used a little dried rosemary only) Sea Salt to taste (I used about a tablespoon)
Use a large pot such as Dutch Oven. Fry the chicken pieces with the garlic until chicken is browned. Throw in the rest of the ingredients and cover/cook on medium heat until the vegetables are tender (around half an hour). Feel free to use different veges that you prefer.
It doesn't really roast like an oven - it kind of steams but the juice that forms in the bottom of the pot is really delicious and makes the vegetables really nice so be sure to mix it all around now and then while cooking.

Fruit Salad! Not sure if it meets all the guidelines of the diet, but I think it's delicious and super healthy. I make it a lot ever summer for grill outs and just made some this weekend - and I'll finish it up today already!!
1 fresh pinapple strawberries kiwi grapes blueberries raspberries apples whatever fresh fruit you have
Cut them all up into bit size pieces if necessary and mix it all together. I throw 1 tablespoon of sugar over the whole thing to get some of the juices to come out and dribble a tiny bit if vanilla extract for a whiff of extra flavor. Mix together and refrigerate. Nummy! I think the fresh pinapple is key, by the way. All the other ingredients can fluctuate!

Ok. I need help!! My new schedule has me working till 7:30pm every night... then I have an hour drive home, which means I don't get home till 8:30. Because of this I have to have dinners prepped for the hubby-to-be to put in the oven. Now, I've basically done everything: chicken parm, pot roast in the crock pot, mexican lasagna, etc, etc. I want to try something new and easy - were getting sick of the same old stuff. Hubby doesn't like a lot of stuff... like rice, certain veggies... typical of a guy, right? Does anyone have any really yummy, easy recipes that can be made ahead??

Tess - try this one. SUPER easy but looks really glam! It's a Pampered Chef recipe. I made it for a Sex and the City pre-party last year for a bunch of my girlfriends and they thought I was a goddess for making it. Super yummy, too! Doesn't QUITE fit into the endo diet with the bread crumbs, but close!
Orange Roughy Parmesan 1/4 cup bread crumbs (I like panko crumbs in Japanese food aisle) 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 1 small clove garlic, pressed 2 tablespoons fresh parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon fresh parsley 2 orange roughy fillets (about 4 oz each - some other white fish would work too) 1/2 lemon
1. Heat oven to 425. Combine crumbs, butter, garlic and microwave until melted. Add parm, parsley. 2. Salt/pepper fillets. Place on cooking pan and juice them with the lemon. Top with crumb mixture and bake for 8-10 minutes until crispy crumbs and fish flakes easily.
I usually serve with some steamed asparagus and rice or something along those lines.

olsenka, you could always use rice flakes instead of bread crumbs in the above recipe Does your hubby like stir frys tess? If you chop up a bunch of veggies (leaving out whatever you dont like) before hand, all you have to do is chuck them in a hot wok/fry pan for a couple of minutes, add some flavouring (soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, chilli, other spices, coconut milk, etc) and its ready. Serve with various types of noodles, or on its own.

Sweet potato soup
I made this last night, it was so quick and easy. Serves 2, just add more if you want more serving.
Peel and dice one large sweet potato (i think they might be called yams in the us??) Add a little oil to a saucepan and cook the sweet potato for about 2 minutes. Then cover it with water and bring to the boil. Add in a powdered vegetable stock (or omit water and use a liquid stock) and boil for about 5 minutes. Pour in half a cup of red lentils, continue boiling until it is all soft (about 15 minutes). Take off heat and mash with a potato masher. Add salt and pepper if you like and serve.
So simple!!! Of course you could add other veggies to it, but last night i was feeling super lazy so this was a really good quick dinner, and then we had it with some fresh bread (not endo friendly i know, but i have decided to try eating bread again and see how i go)
