So Epicurious It Hurts!

A learning thing

2012-01-29T18:04:00.000-08:00

This

With Lemon

2012-01-27T17:51:00.001-08:00

Listen to this
I needed more snacks

I decided to make more of my lara bars

This time I used cashews, almonds, raisins and 2tsp of lemon juice

The LEMON kicked it up by a factor of 3!
Have mercy...
It was good before

It's TREMENDOUS now
I put them in the fridge to harden up

Oh Lucinda!

For the pics

2012-01-26T21:12:00.001-08:00

If it weren't for the $625.00 price tag I would buy the books

In the meantime...
I will just look at the pictures and videos for this Cuisine that is - ist

Like so

And

So

So

Jello and tea

2012-01-26T21:01:00.001-08:00

Yes

It is

Pasta experiment

2012-01-26T09:56:00.000-08:00

Ok in general no more pasta for me

So I tried to make some myself with flax

No flour

I used a tiny bit of potato flakes
Seasoned it

Add flax

Ratio flax to flakes is 3:1
Added water and mixed

Formed into a dough

Flatten

Flatten as much as possible

Cut

Cut

Add filling (I used my home made hummus because it's an experiment

Seal

Boil in salted water for 5 mins

OK ( Iforgot that flax and hot water forms a lot of slippery stuff (so i should have done for 3
mins)

Get it into the oven for 10 mins to dry a little
Put on plate with some kind of sauce

It is SOOOOO good

Or else

2012-01-26T09:54:00.000-08:00

Yep

Now what?

2012-01-24T09:18:00.000-08:00

Well I made this stew/soup with my meatless meatballs

Got the veggies
Added the meatless meatballs

A tbsp of tomato paste

Pinch of salt

Some of my pepper sauce
Let cook

Eat

Meatless

2012-01-24T08:46:00.000-08:00

Meatless meatballs

I used split peas and flax

Peas

Soak overnight

I changed the soak water at least three times

Blitz in blender

Till it looks like so

Add curry

Baking powder Pepper
Blitz

Add parsley, oregano, salt

Blitz- till it looks like so and transfer to bowl

Add flax and mix

Until it looks like this

Then fry in very hot oil

(so it doesn't absorb a lot of oil)

Drain
Use as meatballs

They are delicious BTW

2012-01-23T20:41:00.000-08:00

Tampopo

I love it

Truly

On Order

2012-01-23T20:19:00.001-08:00

This
Along with other books

My bars

2012-01-23T13:47:00.000-08:00

Homemade Larabars

Sometimes I need a snack.
When I don't have fruit or if I feel for something different
Larabars are really good
Two ingredients basically.

Soak raisins to plump

Process cashews
Add raisins

Process more

Add a few more cashews for texture

Pour out

Shape into bars
Refrigerate to harden
You can add a teaspoon of lemon for a zip and a pinch of salt
They are delicious.
However high in calories so take a half a bar for snacking

Fruit it up

2012-01-23T13:42:00.000-08:00

Oh so refreshing

Yes it did make me feel better too

When there is a long list of things you can't eat because they will make you ill, you feel grateful for the things that make you feel better

OH so goood

It's good

2012-01-22T09:34:00.001-08:00

I know what I'm telling you

This is good

And I feel good when I eat it

I should have been experimenting a long time ago

Pulp

2012-01-21T14:34:00.000-08:00

When I juice I get pulp
Sometimes I eat the pulp
This time I made this cookie thing

I got some cashews and raisins

Pulsed them like so (this on its own is delicious btw)

Till they got like so
Added carrot pulp

Mixed
1 tbsp oil

1tbsp golden flax

Mix
Tinned on greased tin
I was gonna make cookies but just decided on one big 'cake'

Baked at 250 for 40 mins

Ended up with this
It was delicious - not very sweet though- so if you want add some honey, or put some jelly on top.

Now I have to share

2012-01-19T10:55:00.001-08:00

So now that I can make sushi, I can try variations based on how I have to eat.

Plus they like my first attempt without giving me the side eye
I got very encouraging words and no side eyes lol!
I can now try things and share them in a meal

I minced the veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and sweet peas)

Used the nut cheese

Pesto

Ground turkey (optional)
Rolled and cut

Ready to share for dinner

Delish

To Try

2012-01-19T10:39:00.000-08:00

This

And This

As snacks
Not a regular thing
I just want to see if it can work with what I am trying to do
Ever since I found out all that has been happening with me and had to make the drastic changes, it's been a series of experiments
This is one
A taste here
A taste there
Just to see what will work
So I can avoid other weird things happening

Food and Sci fi

2012-01-18T19:42:00.001-08:00

Its coming

My sushi

2012-01-18T13:01:00.000-08:00

I got the seaweed wrap
Very easy to use

Used the nut cheese I made

Pesto

And added some fish (fully cooked)

Then rolled carefully

Then cut

To get these

It tasted sooo good
Bursts of flavor

Fruity dinner

2012-01-18T12:59:00.000-08:00

Carambola and apples

SO fresh

AND refreshing

Later Later Later

2012-01-16T16:22:00.000-08:00

Here it is

All drained out

Leaving this ('whey') behind

I have this block of nut cheese

The texture is a tiny bit grainy (but I think it's because I used my food processor which has a set blade, that I can't change.

BUT

Other than that it's kind alike Parmasean and ricotta mixed up

It tastes like cheese too
This soo weird to me

Then I made a mold with some cheese and pest0

That is heavenly tasting..these bursts of flavor and the cheese.

It's so amazing
I'm not frontin' just because I made it.
It really tastes good

I am really happy because now I have a good substitute...

Aww man! (Pesto)

2012-01-16T06:30:00.000-08:00

Ok
This is the BEST pesto I have EVER eaten
Amazing
I can never get it from the deli again
Although deli pesto IS good but wow

I love mine

I got the organic

Washed it

Processed it with garlic

They say use pine nuts but I used cashews

Then I added

Oil, lemon, hot pepper, parsley and thyme

Blitz

Then blitz more

Then package for fridge

It tasted heavenly...

Olive experiment

2012-01-15T16:49:00.001-08:00

So I know i am allergic to black olive
But I dunno if it extends to Kalamata

So I am gonna try one and see
I hope it's ok....

2 pounds

2012-01-15T16:45:00.000-08:00

I love flax so much

I got the 2 lb bag this time

Nut Cheese

2012-01-15T15:50:00.000-08:00

I saw the Macadamia Nut cheese made on the raw food site so I decided to try it

I used a mixture of nuts

I had to soak them
I separated the almonds

so that I could remove the skins afterward
There is a lot of fat released from nuts when you soak them
Four hours especially
Cashews seem to have a lot of fat.
It gets kinda slimy when you soak them because of the fat
When you remove the nuts from the water, you can see the fat in the water shining from the
light

Very pretty and gross at the same time
Then I put it in the food processor

With some acidophilous and garlic (yes its a fermented cheese)

Then Pulse

Add a mixture of water, lemon, salt and some parsley
Till it gets like so

Then use this stuff

To start the drainage and fermentation in a fairly warm place for hours

It's kinda cold in the house so I will put in the cupboard as it drains and ferments
Covered and weighted
It will take 36 to 48 hrs they say...

Veggie pie

2012-01-11T18:31:00.000-08:00

Still experimenting with ALL vegetables

If I can conquer these
It will be AMAZING
SO I get the veggies

Food processor it up

Like so
Add Kale and buzz

Get it all like so (I added minced carrot with my pepper sauce some salt and other seasonings)

Then add flax

The good cold ground flax

Flax helps it all to bind together

Place in baking dish

Bake 350 for 50 mins
Get this

Enjoy :)

Left overs

2012-01-11T18:26:00.000-08:00

These were so good

Leftovers are really very good a day later and when you are so hungry that you are

HONGRAY!

Kale and me

2012-01-11T18:19:00.000-08:00

Still experimenting with Kale

I didn't want to do the raw kale salad

So I tried a curry stir fry

So I washed the Kale really well
Dropped it in some hot curry with a little oil
Then got to stirring

This is what I ended up with

It tasted great.
(you have to add a tiny bit of sea salt and pepper)

Eating in movies

2012-01-10T15:00:00.001-08:00

Hahahah

Love and Food

2012-01-09T18:48:00.000-08:00

Is me watching Julie and Julia.

Paul Child talking about Julia Child is some of the best stuff I have ever read

AND he uses food references.
Le sigh....

I love when people are nice to each other
AND like food :)

Ok Ok

2012-01-09T14:20:00.000-08:00

Well the last one was spicy.
I came into the kitchen and was met with a sweet one that tasted cakey.
Flax is a miracle ingredient (egg and flour replacement)

The same sweet potato flour

The leftover carrot pulp

Flax

Warm water
Mix

Place in greased tin

Spread

Bake 35 for 30 minutes

It comes out fairly soft

But it cuts well and it's delish

THANKS!!!!! :)

Soon

2012-01-09T13:33:00.000-08:00

I am gonna make some more kale chips soon

I particularly like Priscilla W. prep video

Amber V, a cool actress I like, was there sampling too!

I love trying these new healthier options...

I laughed

2012-01-09T13:17:00.000-08:00

Because for guests you gotta make things look fancy if they are considered 'healthy'

However.

The look of UTTER suspicion that I got with this presentation made me keel over laughing

I got the ultimate 'side eye' 0_O

However it went down well.

That's what I get for veering from the norm.
I usually drink my carrot drink from a normal cup

WITH

2012-01-08T12:19:00.000-08:00

A light brothy soup

With kale

And other veggies

Pone

2012-01-08T12:03:00.000-08:00

A spicy sweet potato and flax soft bread
It ends up fairly soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside
With a sweet spicy taste...so good
So...
The sweet potato meal

The flax

The tbsp oil

Some of my hot sauce
Italian seasoning
Water

Mix till soft dough

Like so

Place in greased pan and flatten

Like so

It looks like this before the oven

Then into oven at 350 F for 15 mins - 20 mins

Then out of oven like so

Cut like so

Its yummy and crunchy on bottom and edges

Downton

2012-01-07T15:59:00.000-08:00

At Downton Abbey I am sure we will see many kitchen and food scenes

I love the show

I love the food

The writing is excellent

Dinner----- with a twist

2012-01-07T13:32:00.000-08:00

Cuz I realized I am allergic to olives now :(

SUX
Pear, olive tapenade, hummus

Next Best

2012-01-04T09:30:00.000-08:00

Well then I tried a black olive tapenade
Super easy
Get the garlic (5 cloves)

Get the olives

Some of my homemade hot sauce

I only used 1 tbsp olive oil
AND
A few raisins (believe me, its a dash of heaven)

Then blend like so

Till it gets to be like so

Then
I put into containers for the fridge

It is amazingly heavenly good

Then I did another quick batch of hummus

OOOOOOOOH
This means we are gonna NOSH!

NYAM NYAM

Garlicky Hummus

2012-01-02T08:42:00.000-08:00

OOOOOOHHHH MY
This is the BEST hummus I have ever tasted.
I am not just saying that because I made it
I used this much Garlic

This much Chick Peas

A table spoon of lemon juice
A teaspoon of salt
A half table spoon of my hot sauce
and one table spoon of the Tahini
And some Parsley
Put it in like this

Ground it

Till it became like this

Then voila

You should taste how fresh and good it is

It makes your body feel good going down
Warning its VERY garlicky but does not overpower the hummus.

It just has this really spicy fresh, delicious flavor.

Soups

2012-01-01T10:26:00.000-08:00

I prefer brothy myself. Creamy is kinda cool if its not too creamy

CREAMY

Creamy Spinach Soup
Put 1 chopped onion, 2 peeled garlic cloves, 3 cups water and salt and pepper in a pot over high heat. Boil, cover, lower the heat and simmer until the onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Add 10 ounces chopped spinach and 1/2 cup parsley leaves; cook until the spinach is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup Greek-style yogurt and purée. Garnish: A spoonful of Greek-style yogurt and chopped parsley.

Squash-and-Ginger Soup
Substitute 1 tablespoon minced ginger for the garlic and 4 cups chopped butternut squash for the spinach (it will take longer to soften). Skip the parsley and substitute half-and-half or cream for the yogurt. Garnish: A spoonful of cream.

Curried Cauliflower Soup
Substitute 1 tablespoon minced ginger for the garlic, 2 cups cauliflower florets for the spinach (they will take longer to soften), 1 tablespoon curry powder for the parsley and coconut milk for the yogurt. Garnish: Chopped cilantro.

BROTHY

Vegetable Broth With Toast
Put 2 chopped carrots, 2 chopped onions, 1 small chopped potato, 2 chopped celery ribs, 2 garlic cloves, 10 sliced mushrooms, 1 cup chopped tomatoes (canned are fine), 10 parsley sprigs, 1/2 ounce dried porcini, 8 cups water and salt and pepper in a pot over high heat. Boil, lower heat and simmer until the vegetables are soft, 30 minutes or longer. Strain and serve over toasted good bread. Garnish: Chopped celery leaves.

Egg Drop Soup
Beat 4 eggs. Boil the strained stock, lower the heat so it simmers and add the eggs in a steady stream, stirring constantly until they’re cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped scallions, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Skip the bread. Garnish: Chopped scallions.

Rice-and-Pea Soup
Boil the strained stock, lower the heat so it simmers and add 3/4 cup white rice. Cook until tender, then add 2 cups fresh or frozen peas; cook for a minute or two. Skip the bread. Garnish: Grated Parmesan

I made a snack

2011-12-30T17:33:00.000-08:00

I was hungry so I whipped this up
I know I am eating a lot of green these past months but it tastes good

It also makes me feel better
SO here it is

BBQ kale chips
Takes 15 minutes to make- crispy and good

Something we should all do

2011-12-30T12:49:00.000-08:00

Maybe

It's a good doozy

2011-12-30T12:46:00.000-08:00

Ok get this
It's a curry soup

with kale and the main veg

IT WAS delicious
I'm not just saying that

With light

2011-12-29T16:54:00.001-08:00

Later

2011-12-28T11:01:00.000-08:00

When we hike on the trails

Water!

These are the best

New Cereal

2011-12-28T10:57:00.000-08:00

My new cereal is ground flax with a smidge of oatmeal
I just add raisins

And hot water

It's really good and everybody should try it

Just Yay!

2011-12-26T15:58:00.000-08:00

SO Cosby episodes are sometimes centered around food

He usually sneaks pizza and soda

Dr H finally gets into healthy cooking

SO he makes a meal for the girls and their friends
They don't like it
It really was a bland meal

Healthy doesn't have to mean bland
I should know!

Was baked

2011-12-26T15:48:00.000-08:00

A Cornish game hen- three meals for one person :)

Took 1 hour (40 mins at 325 covered, 20 minutes on 375 uncovered)
Seasonings

Stick in oven

Take out when done

Eat some

Ahhh Yes

2011-12-24T17:40:00.001-08:00

Before we started the Christmas Story marathon we were watching all the seasons of Cosby

Remember this?

:)

Refreshing

2011-12-24T17:09:00.000-08:00

Nice pear salad

With my homemade hot sauce and a dash of salt

Sooo good

Eggless

2011-12-24T16:42:00.000-08:00

It's an eggless mango almost fat free cheese cake

The cream cheese is fat free and therefore has gums in it for mouthfeel

That saves you having to use eggs
Which I am staying away from for a while
SO I did the crumbs using a dried out banana nut cake I had in the freezer

I added some canola oil to the crumbs
Put it in the oven at 350for 15 minutes to kinda harden

While that was going on

I got the one block of fat free cream cheese

The mango with some apple jelly (this also helps keep it together because of the gelatin)

Blended

added to the finished cooled crust

Baked at 325 for 40 minutes
Took out
Cooled and glazed with a mixture of melted apple jelly and blueberry sweet wine.

Then cut

It was fairly easy to make AND
It tasted wonderful
I haven't eaten something like this in a while and other people thought it was great too :)))
Holiday food

Kaley

2011-12-24T10:31:00.000-08:00

Ok so I love Kale

I love Kale chips

I love Kale salad

I love sauteed Kale

I love raw Kale (well to look at)

I love curried Kale

GOOOOOOD

Sometimes

2011-12-24T07:47:00.001-08:00

I just like looking at food items

Rather than eating them

Like this wine vinaigrette

In this cute bottle makes me sigh

Finger Salad

2011-12-20T19:23:00.000-08:00

I went to the store and saw 5 fingers (star fruit).

I haven't seen these in years so I had to have them
So I washed them

Cut them

They made stars (tee hee)

Added salt and my homemade peppersauce and made a salad
Soooo good
They were half ripe so sweet and sour at the same time

Eating my experiments

2011-12-19T12:01:00.000-08:00

I stopped eating pastelles a long time ago

It's a shame because I liked them a lot

But it hurts to eat them

BUT
I tried to make it with Flax meal and a few pinches of Panko

Man I gotta tell ya
IT
WORKED

It was delicious

WINNING!

I feel so happy about that- stuffed with chicken.

Laugh

2011-12-16T19:14:00.000-08:00

I laughed when I saw this

Paula is too cute

Yay

Kale Junkie

2011-12-16T18:56:00.000-08:00

I am officially a kale junkie

I make kale chips as a snack

Or I put kale in soups

I could try it in juice as well

The Kale chips are phenom!

Kale is sooo cheap

You buy it
Wash it
Dry it - really well
Toss in a little olive oil and seasonings

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes

It is crunchy and great and yummy
Priscilla Woolworth has a great video of hers and she had Amber Valetta in her kitchen eating them :)

FSAND

2011-12-16T16:40:00.000-08:00

Watching this great documentary
About 'every day food'

That tells it like it

All I can say is:

Preach!

I dunno if I can do ALL juicing ALL the time but I am close to where he is...

New Girl Food

2011-12-13T09:48:00.000-08:00

Well they don't focus on food but I love Schmidt

So because he was there

And talked about food

Flax Cracker

2011-12-12T18:19:00.000-08:00

Dang tasty
Flax cracker
Pure fiber and tasty
Get the flax meal like so

Then add water and mix

Let soak for a few hours

It gets all gummy in texture
Then add apple habanero sauce

Add some garlic and parsley salt and mix in

Then spread in a greased tin (some people do parchment)

Raw foodists use a dehydrator
Place in oven at 375 for 30 minutes to 40 minutes (check every 12 minutes)

Slice before it hardens or it just breaks apart

Take out and let cool

Then MUNCH and crunch on these delicious things!

Pure fiber (no carbs turning into fat on you)

Helps your colon

Tastes great

Awww

2011-11-25T11:09:00.001-08:00

I like this - even though I haven't eaten eggs in a long time

YC this would go well with your angry omelette :)

In this time

2011-11-11T14:55:00.000-08:00

There was some foraging
Nuts

And other things we found
Food for entertainment

And a busy day of meetings food

When it's rushed like that all I can do is order carbs
It can't be helped
It hurts like nobody's business so I only eat that for the day and just feel ill

May as well

2011-11-05T07:33:00.000-07:00

Since I have the blender out, I may as well use it
The second best use I made of it was this smoothie

Carrots

Mango
(I used the frozen one)

Pear

Blitz

Drink

Really good

Yeh um, if you are gonna try this add water when you put the carrots in or else you smell that burn smell of an engine under too much pressure

Yeh I said it...

Pretty Peppery

2011-11-03T17:45:00.000-07:00

I decided to use the hot peppers I had been freezing

I got them out

And washed them

Cut off the stems

Put them in the blender with some vinegar

Garlic

Like so
And other seasonings

(like salt)
Blended it all up

Then bottled it.

You can add mustard afterward to give it some umpf

Choi

2011-11-03T16:09:00.000-07:00

This was pretty good

I must say.
One of the best out of all the things I am trying,
Bok Choi

It's been on my mind for a while
I have been thinking more ital

Also wanting to incorporate even more fruit into cooking etc
So I get the bok

Clean it- This is the most important part.
Make sure you get it really scrubbed up and rinsed over and over.
Then drain.

Cut

Separate

Sautee one then

The other

Then Finally

I get this

Then.
I get some Tilapia
Quickly sautee in a pan with apple habanero sauce (you see that soon)
Then serve

Great quick dinner

I mean

2011-10-28T09:42:00.000-07:00

I had to take this trip

It was important.

So I just grabbed what they had

I didn't want to make a big deal about being choosey - even though I was

Maybe I should have

Maybe I was regardless

Anyway

I got one rueben

I did better at other times though

I wasn't too affected

I had fun exploring and trying all this stuff

But It DID make me kinda vow to just be more creative at home

Always

2011-10-15T16:14:00.000-07:00

Sometimes always happens over food
Can't be helped

Life class= Gnarls "Who's gonna save my soul"

LOL

2011-10-09T07:56:00.000-07:00

Food and Laughter is what it is all about
Ok
So THIS guy in the kitchen is the best
Oh Henry
I love your kitchen

See how to make his Shepard's Pie

Hmmm

2011-10-01T14:23:00.000-07:00

Should be a motto or something.

Not granary bread but...

2011-09-25T15:21:00.000-07:00

It's not granary bread but it looks a little like it

Let me tell you what it is
Remember that low carb flour?
Well I used that 2 cups
Then I added a teaspoon of baking powder

A teaspoon of salt
A tablespoon of caesar
2 cups (approx) of Unibroque beer

Mix
Put on a greased dish
Preheat oven to 350F

Bake for 45 mins (knife come out clean when you poke the bread)

It's really lovely smelling-rich and thick and bready

And I have to say it's one of the best smelling and tasting and moist breads I have ever tasted.

I'm not just saying that either...

Words cannot explain

2011-09-25T10:40:00.000-07:00

How much I love this show.

I want to produce something like this

Digest

2011-09-22T14:37:00.000-07:00

Meals are becoming easier and easier to digest
Like this one

And it tastes so good
Mango...

Candy

2011-09-22T14:15:00.000-07:00

Well Hard Candy...the film

Not exactly about food but

Food horror
Which I love...

Nuts

2011-09-20T19:15:00.000-07:00

To be honest I dunno what to do with these

They look really pretty though

Should I just roast them and eat them?

How long do I roast them?

They never come with instructions when you get them in the wild...

Survey

2011-09-20T19:06:00.000-07:00

Before I got these chips I looked at the back

The back said this stuff

To be honest it was the best (calorie and carb content) of all the chips in the entire store
SO then I did this with them

Black beans and chicken salsa
But then I didn't eat any more because I just didn't feel good about it
It hurts to eat that stuff
I dunno why...

Super Skinny

2011-09-11T09:43:00.000-07:00

Another show I really liked watching is Super Skinny Me
Two Journalists experiment with losing weight to get to size 00

OMG
One developed and eating disorder you can tell...
But I enjoyed watching the process and the steps they took.

There is also Skinny Kids which is sad

Split Peas

2011-09-11T07:22:00.001-07:00

I haven't had split peas in years
I wanted to try

So I made this heavenly soup
Man it tasted soooo awesome
I am quite proud of it!

But now I don't eat split peas anymore...so many carbs
Plus it hurts when I eat them

Feeling

2011-09-11T07:21:00.001-07:00

If you feel like cooking but don't want to eat
Cook pretty colored things

Like this
WITH CURRY
It smells really good
Soo good

Sessed

2011-09-10T16:35:00.000-07:00

I am currently obsessed with the following shows
Supersize vs Superskinny

That is the one I really love

So Informative

Fast Food Babies

Health Food Junkies

Embarrassing Fat Bodies

Super Slim Me
Freaky Eaters

Too Fat To Toddle

The Truth About Size Zero
Too Much Too Young- Teen Body Obsession
BBC Story About Low Carb Dieting
Who Made Me Fat
Basically I love BBC and Channel 4 British TV and these are the kind of documentaries that I want to make. I am in heaven watching them.
Meanwhile where can I get a vortex pendant and that electromagnetic zapper thing

Food in Music

It hurts to much

CMSC

2011-08-29T09:06:00.000-07:00

Stands for a curried mayonnaise, sweet pea and chicken salad

It's kinda heavenly
The chicken is curried and shredded

Get your peas

Add your seasoned mayo like so

Add the chicken
Mix
Add Raisins for that extra SOMETHING
Peanuts or Cashews if you want

Enjoy
It is really good...

I like to cook

2011-08-27T16:39:00.000-07:00

I cooked this (chicken curry)

It looked great
But then

I ate this
Still not so hungry
Plus stuff hurts

Fancies

2011-08-24T19:53:00.000-07:00

There was this

And this

Also this

Some of this

More of this

Then this

Cooking

2011-08-24T19:15:00.000-07:00

Cooking this was actually good

I liked roasting and then adding the dark meat chicken curry

It will last for a while I think...
This stuff doesn't hurt so much when I eat it

Delish

2011-08-21T08:34:00.000-07:00

I made these lentil burgers

Well the patties anyway

I had this before maybe at a vegetarian place and it was dry
HOWEVER I figured out how to avoid that

Boil till the lentils are really soft and drain well
Add Panko breadcrumbs and this will absorb excess moisture

Season it (VERY VERY IMPORTANT)
I used parsley, soul seasoning, thyme, garlic and other stuff
Add egg

Mix it
I used my hands cuz you wanna smush the lentils

Then I shaped them and then cooked them

They smelled so good
Tasted better

So good
But then it started to hurt so I dunno about lentils anymore

ok

2011-08-21T08:26:00.000-07:00

This was one of my best tasting dinners
Cashews and raisins

Try it if you don't believe me

Not too much or you will get a tummy ache

So ummm

2011-08-19T17:29:00.000-07:00

Remember when Paula Deen licked Robert Irvine in the 'ab area' and I posted it because it was about food?
Well here she is riding him across the stage

ummm
Its Robert Irvine a hot foodie so I get it
BUT
ummmmm

Low carb Crepes

2011-08-18T16:55:00.000-07:00

So I still have that low carb mix

I got some milk
Eggs mix them up
A non stick pan

And cooked

First time making crepes

I had always been scared to

They came out good- you can see the flax seed...

I ate a piece of one with salsa (or whatever the bottle says) and salad

So good - but I cant eat these anymore..it hurts

Easier

2011-08-13T13:11:00.000-07:00

This was just easier to digest

I felt happier after having this today

Here's this

2011-08-13T03:43:00.000-07:00

I have been NOT hungry

However until I take it to the "I'm just fasting" stage I decided to just make this and eat it
The making it part was cool
However it took me a long time to eat it

I looked at it for a long time

Played around on the computer

Read, and watched a show

I decided to eat it in the end but it took a long time

I should just fast ...

Kinda rainy again

2011-07-23T14:30:00.001-07:00

Sooooo

Black Irish Cream Tea

Heavenly highball

2011-07-22T17:21:00.000-07:00

Wow- Put everything into it!

This thing is amazingly delicious

Pineapple juice is the greatest base

Then the alcohol part

To get to this

I added some pieces of fruit just for fun

Then I tasted it

ooooooooooooooooooo
Everybody should acquire highball glassware
Just because...

Here we go again

2011-07-19T12:21:00.000-07:00

OK I said I was gonna do it and I really DID.
I am so excited

1/3 cup ground flax seed

1/3 cup almond powder

1 egg

1tbsp canola
1tbsp half and half
1 pinch salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix

Place in microwavable container
Microwave for one minute

Changes and comments:
The bread cooked in 1 minute and 40 seconds
When you turn it out onto the paper towel the bread is a little damp on the bottom
Next time I may use a small egg because I feel it was a bit much to use a large egg

When you microwave bread the texture is not as dry as when you do it in the oven
HOWEVER

When the bread cools off it gets more of that bready texture
It tasted like a whole grain bread
It tastes good
Total 10 gram of carbs with 5 being fiber
I am so happy!!

I can eat bread again!

Rainy

2011-07-16T17:12:00.000-07:00

For particularly rainy days...
Yep :)

With honey

LOVE

2011-07-14T20:29:00.000-07:00

Ok I have found the holy grail of low carb bread
I am going to try this
1/3 cup ground flax seed
1/3 cup almond powder
1 egg
1tbsp canola
1tbsp half and half
1 pinch salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix
Place in microwavable container
Microwave for one minute
Noooooooo carbs(maybe 4 g) except for fiber

WATCH IT!
See why the love? :)

Use them

2011-07-05T15:55:00.000-07:00

I got them so I decided to use them

I always wanted a saki set

Now I have one

Using it made me feel much better after the other thing

Culture reality maybe :)

Yeh

2011-07-05T15:42:00.000-07:00

I just went

They had these things

The fireworks were fine

The food was fine

I didn't eat

I want to take a flight somewhere
The end.

No Table

2011-07-01T12:37:00.000-07:00

So when you sit down to write, here is the thing
You gotta be relaxed

You gotta chill

When you take a food break, eggplant parmesan and a little red is cool

Cuz that is how we roll- Where the party at?

uiche-dom

2011-06-15T13:56:00.000-07:00

Ok so I got it in my head to make a crustless quiche

AND EAT IT

Spinach and Peppers

This thing has got to be flavorful because you know me

Bland and I won't eat it again

SO what I am going to do is curry cream the green pepper and use the sauce from that as my
milk/cream.

Yep I do what I WANT to do

And I am gonna add spices to the spinach.
I love my soul food seasoning, thyme and parsley.
Organic eggs :) (ital)
I am using a tiny bit of cheddar and a lot more neufchatel cheese, with scotch bonnet.

Add it to my eggs

Mix Mix here

Mix mix there

Pour

Bake

We will see how this turns out :)
Firstly I gotta say it SMELLED heavenly

It cut easily and it looked and tasted so yummy. So full of flavor, rich and hearty.
I love it!
