Spotlight on Health Webinar – Demystifying Nutrition—What Are “Normal” Nutrient Values?

Join Dr. Michael Hollie on Wednesday, November 6th, at 7 p.m. ET for a special evening with Dr. Milton Mills and bodybuilder Geoff Palmer. In this unique webinar, they will bust some common myths about the nutrients we must consume to be healthy, from protein to calcium. Many people have an overcomplicated relationship with these nutrients based on reductionist thinking, but there is a simpler and more effective approach. As Dr. T. Colin Campbell writes, “The misguided may trumpet the virtues of one specific nutrient or chemical, but this thinking is too simplistic. Our bodies have learned how to benefit from the chemicals in food as they are packaged together, discarding some and using others as they see fit.” Whether you are new to the whole food, plant-based lifestyle or are a plant-based veteran, you will gain key takeaways for your plant-based journey. Can’t make it live? No worries. We’ll send a recording to all registrants a week after the event so you can watch it at your convenience.

Recipes » Breakfast » Cauliflower Breakfast Scramble

By Chef Del Sroufe

(1)

There are many very good recipes for scrambles, but most call for tofu. In this recipe, cauliflower takes the place of the tofu—with delicious results.

Prep: 10 mins Cook: 20 mins Yield: 4 servings

Gluten Free Low Sugar Nut Free

Adapted from Forks Over Knives, The Cookbook (The Experiment, 2012).

Ingredients

1 red onion, peeled and cut into ½-inch dice
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into ½-inch dice
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into ½-inch dice
2 cups sliced mushrooms (about 8 ounces whole mushrooms)
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
Sea salt to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons turmeric
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1–2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup nutritional yeast (optional)

Instructions

1. Place the onion, red and green peppers, and mushrooms in a medium skillet or saucepan and sauté over medium-high heat for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time to keep the vegetables from sticking to the pan.
2. Add the cauliflower and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the florets are tender.
3. Add the salt, pepper, turmeric, cayenne, garlic, soy sauce, and nutritional yeast (if using) to the pan, and cook for 5 minutes more, or until hot and fragrant.
