ZERO Recipes Needed

Vegan Diet – No Animal Products We have eliminate virtually all cholesterol from Addi and Cassi’s diet, except for the occasional treats. This includes meat, fish, chicken and all dairy products. While doctor’s don’t think diet plays a key role in NPC, we saw an immediate improvement in the twins’ stability within a week after starting a zero cholesterol diet. While we are not advocating this diet, we have remained on this strict diet for over 1 year. Today, Addi and Cassi eat soy, fruit, nuts or plant based foods but are taking Omega 3 fish oil which contains a small amount of cholesterol (10mls per day). We understand DHA could be beneficial for progressive neurological diseases. Submit Recipes For Our Cookbook We decided we would create a section on our website and ask people to submit zero cholesterol recipe ideas (or ideas for products that you love that don’t contain cholesterol). Any creative idea is welcome. We look forward to trying all your fabulous recipes. Our dream is to compile a cookbook, which lists all the great zero cholesterol recipes submitted by people around the world with proceeds going to NPC research. Help turn our dream into a reality by submitting a recipe today! You can post ideas in the box below or email us.
Celery Stew
a delicious Iranian dish
1 bunch of celery, cleaned and trimmed and cut into
1 inch wedges
1 large yellow onion, trimmed and chopped small
Canola oil, enough to cover the bottom of a 10 inch skillet(like Rachel Ray says, two turns of the pan.)
1 1/2 cups of water
2 tsp. salt or to taste
1 bunch of mint, washed and leaves picked and chopped finely.
1 bunch of parsley, washed, leaves picked, and chopped finely. (Do the mint and parsley together)
2 lemons
Heat the skillet and add the oil, wait a minute and add the celery and onion. Saute 10 minutes. Add the salt and water to just barely cover the celery and let cook at medium high heat for 7 minutes or so till the celery is soft enough for you (taste it to see). Add the juice of two lemons, the parsley and the mint and let cook a few more minutes.
Serve over basmati rice. Ahhhhh!!
This is a simple drink that is easy and the girls will love. Simply, get bananas that are very ripe (more sweet), red apples, and strawberries and mix it in a blender with non-fat milk. During the summer add crushed ice! 🙂
There is also plant-based Omega-3/DHA available. Health From the Sun makes a flaxseed oil/borage oil/evening primrose oil blend. It comes in a black bottle in the refrigerated supplements case at most health food stores. It tastes like butter and can be poured over veggie/carb meals after they’ve been cooked.

You can make a cholesterol free lentil and rice burger. Take equal portions of shelled lentils and rice. 40g of each. Add desired chopped veggies. Rinse the lentils and rice and veggie mixture and grind them down to a semi smooth/grainy texture. Add 1 cup boiling water and let the mixture absorb the water for 10 minutes. The consistency after 10 minutes should be like thick pancake batter. Add more boiling water as needed for right consistency.
Heat a non stick skillet. Spread 1 tbsp of meal onto the skillet and form a mini patty. Flip and cook the other side when the bottom is golden brown. Cook all the way through until patty stays together. Serve with dip of choice.
