Gingerbread Cookie Oatmeal. That's right. So sweet! A combination of
Bottomless Oatmeal and
Gingerbread Oatmeal (minus the molasses, lots of sugar free maple syrup, no coconut, steiva)
Been reading a good book: They Came to Baghdad by Agatha Christie. It's nice to actually read a book again, since I've been so busy with school work :D
I made these
coconut flour sandwich thins (with guar gum and no nooch)! Since the bread that I've been using had milk in the ingredients list (!) I knew I had to switch. So, then I stumbled onto
Foodie Fiasco - and WOW what a fabulous blog! So many low-cal, healthy things. Anyway, the sandwiches were super good. Although, next time, I would make 8 pieces instead of 4, and then there would be no need to cut them in half. (UPDATE: I did make the 8 pieces yesterday, and it worked marvelously!)
Pineapple-Orange Setian - using oatmeal for the soy flour, mirin for the olive oil, and leaving out the nooch. So, it was quite an ordeal to get this cooked! First, I steamed it for 30 minutes. It was still undone, so I baked it at 350 for 15 minutes. Then I had it in a stir fry, but it was still super gummy. the next day, I cut it into thin strips and grilled it on my panini press, and now it's OK! ;) Next time, I would just steam it for 45 minutes and then grill it. THAT should be muuuuch easier!
I've been enjoying
this sandwich for lunch, on the sandwich thins that I made, with the Pineapple Orange Setian.
Super
yummy salad dressing, a great way to use up that tomato paste in the fridge! ;)
(Of course with lots of changes: tomato paste for sauce, added LOTS of mirin, cider vinegar for the tarragon vinegar [have any of you ever seen this? I sure haven't], onion powder not juice, and Italian herbs in stead of dill)
And
here's an interesting link that vegnews posted on facebook, in case you didn't read it: how being vegan saves water too! Wow, we're sooo good! ;)
Ok, so
another VegNews story. Gross, or interesting? You decide!
