Tomato Herb Galette for dinner and 2 Mint Chip Ice Creams that support blood sugar balance + metabolic health

eating for metabolic health should be delicious🧡

Happy Sunday! School started this week, and Nolan (the youngest of my 4 babies) is a sophomore already. Time flies, and so does Summer, but I am really leaning into Late Summer and Fall foods already this year. That means tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, and herbs! I was inspired this week by

Christi Flaherty

when she shared a Tomato Tart. It has been a while since I have made one, so I thought my Tomato Galette was the perfect recipe to share with you this week.

When I create a recipe, every ingredient must have a purpose and support metabolic health. The crust is nutrient-dense and features one of my favorite ingredients for metabolic health: lupin flour! I love lupin flour for its high protein, high fiber, and low carb content. This recipe is grain-free, gluten-free, and can easily be made dairy-free as well. It is blood sugar friendly, and as always, I will share my glucose response.

Thanks to you, my paid subscribers, I have been in my happy place creating new recipes like this one this week. I love being able to include video clips to make recreating my recipes easier for you. This week has been all about tomatoes and ice cream; I wanted this tomato pie/tart/galette to be a vegetarian dish but include enough protein that it could easily be breakfast, lunch, or dinner without another source of protein.

No collection of healthy ice cream recipes would be complete without a Mint Chocolate Chip recipe, so I have given you two because we love both! I include instructions for making ice cream that is dairy-free or using dairy. I have developed a good basic recipe for creating a metabolically healthy ice cream that supports blood sugar balance and healthy aging. If you missed my previous flavors, feel free to re-visit my other ice cream recipes:
