Everyone thinks that rice cakes taste like cardboard and are usually so disheartened by yet another gluten-free snack tasting that way that they often forget about the toppings and ditch the snack entirely.  Feel familiar?

butttttt...Sometimes it's the toppings that make the rice "cake".  And toppings can be endless!

Though it certainly didn't feel that way when I was on the Whole 30 diet beyond restricted.  Then followed by the paleo diet and the Candida diet.  Followed by a combo of what worked for me between all three diets.  These diets are restrictive.  Very restrictive with good intentions.  And during the Candida diet, I allowed rice cakes.

Side Story/Rice Cake Inspiration:
In college, there used to be a pizza spot called Dorian's Pizza.  They had pizza that had 4 different kinds of cooked meat on it with cheese.  And I'll admit not only did I have it freshman year of college, but I LOVED it.  This was of course pre-Celiac.  Meat on the pizza was like a dream.  And it would be me and the SU Crew team eating the meat pizza.  It is a delicious memory.  A memory that inspired my rice cake fusion.

Flash forward to the Candida diet - I actually made this for dinner one night.  I had two.  It was really filling and tasty.  I was thinking steak and potatoes and my thought process was literally:  "Oh I love steak and potatoes, but let's swap that sugar-filled white potato for mashed SWEET potato (hello nutrients and fiber) and naturally we will add sliced scallions or chives because that is a lovely flavor combo, but I don't have chives so scallions it is".

So why did I choose sweet potatoes over white potatoes?

SWEET POTATO HEALTH BENEFITS:

  • Loaded with vitamin A and beta carotene which are good for eye health, hair health, migraines, and give your skin a rich rosy glow because sweet potatoes are very colorful.  (While white potatoes are also a starch they are an empty starch loaded with sugar that will have you falsely thinking you are full).  Sweet potatoes are loaded with fiber, minerals, and nutrients and goes through your system differently.
  • The magical Sweet Potato also contains calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, vitamin C, thiamin B vitamin, riboflavin B vitamin, folate B vitamin, vitamin E, potassium, and some vitamin K.  A powerhouse of nutrients and minerals.

It sounds super fancy, but it's really easy to make and faster than cooking chicken if you can believe!  Filet mignon steak is really tender and therefore easy to slice thin.  The thinner the better with this sweet potato rice cake recipe.

My favorite one and only rice cake that I will eat and trust are by Lundberg.  They have organic options, are always gluten-free, and made in a facility free of the top 10 allergens.  If you're going to rice cake it up I highly recommend Lundberg rice cakes.  These Sweet Potato Rice Cakes will remind you when there is a will, there's a way.

Remember that on your healing journey.

Are you ready to make beautiful music together?
