I’m excited! I have been cleaning out the garage and going through boxes and boxes of books (we bought some more bookcases so we could unpack my books — I have a lot). Anyway, I found a really nice Japanese cookbook that I haven’t used in years (since it was packed in a box).
There are lots of great recipes. Lots of rice and noodles of course, which we can’t do. But there are some GAPS-friendly recipes.
Tonight I’m going to make:
Homemade Miso Soup
Wakame with Shrimp and Cucumber with Vinegar Dressing
Steamed Baby Bok Choy
Sashimi (depends on what’s fresh but most likely salmon and tuna, and Seth’s favorite, ikura)
The homemade miso soup is not hard to make. I already got the ingredients — naturally fermented miso, naturally fermented soy sauce, bonito flakes, and wakame. Need to pick up some scallions. I’m skipping the tofu.
The salad is easy too — just 6 shrimp, 1/4 cucumber, and some dried wakame that you blanch. Steamed bok choy (I have some in the fridge I need to use up) and for sashimi, all you have to do is slice it.
I think this morning I will make omelettes with tomato and avocado — just for a change of pace.
hi! I’ve been perusing your site and following your GAPS adventure. i was just thinking that lots of Asian cuisines have GAPS friendly recipes since we rarely have grains in our meals with the exception of rice which is easily eliminated. (sorry, i’m prone to run on sentences.) but my family and i are moving to the LA area and I was wondering if you could give me the low-down on farmer’s markets. thanks!
Hi, Peasprout!
Where are you moving to in LA? I am pretty familiar with the Hollywood and Santa Monica farmer’s markets. If you know the general area you are moving to, I can direct you.
Going to go start my daishi stock now!

Hey Anne Marie, how ’bout an update on how your seedlings are doing?
You inspired me to try my first garden this summer…….although things are quite a bit different here in CO than in Cali.
I used to live in San Diego, before I knew of wapf and all the good resources I was surrounded by. What a shame.
Hi, Megan,
Sorry… I’ve been dealing with a couple of big family emergencies, so I haven’t been blogging as much as I normally do.
My seedlings are doing great! I will post about it soon, I promise.
I’m sorry to hear that. Try not to stress too much. I hope things get better soon.
thanks, Megan.
