Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Not even. I think it comes from a mix that they buy from elsewhere. I worked part time in a bakery years ago and was shocked that the woman who owned it made very little from scratch. > > > > Those [sheet cakes] are ghastly.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 IV, that sounds good! I've been putting canned pumpkin (unflavored the plain stuff) into mine with raisins, chopped apple, some walnuts, lots of cinnamon and a touch of maple. Oh, and some ground flaxseed.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 So I'm not the only brussel sprout lover here I adore these little balls of packed cabbage (even if they can, and DO 'remind' me of themselves later - lol!) > > MMmm.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Had to add the other side of the oatmeal fan club. While I love oatmeal in cookies, breads, and even added to topping on apple crisps, I just can NOT eat cooked oatmeal. The 'slimey' (sorry if that is offensive) texture will not go down my throat. I have been able to make and eat a 'drier' porridge made of cracked wheat cooked with touch of honey and raisins to which I add walnuts and bananas. But cooked oatmeal or cream of wheat just won't fly by me. (I've also heard of that same adversion to liver in other people) Sigi,> Oh my God!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I love oatmeal WARM...YUMMY! But I have heard of several people not liking the texture of it, same w/cottage cheese, I like it but lots don't. Sigi,> Oh my God!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Oh, that sounds interesting. I've been making a lot of pumpkin stuff lately- muffins and scones that get eaten so fast you blink and they are gone but I havne't tried it in oats yet. > > IV, that sounds good! > > I've been putting canned pumpkin (unflavored the plain stuff) into mine > with raisins, chopped apple, some walnuts, lots of cinnamon and a touch > of maple.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I totally agree with you when it comes to 'regular' oatmeal. It's all mushy and gloppy to me. I never liked it until I switched to steel cut oats. Soooo much better! > > Had to add the other side of the oatmeal fan club.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 We went to a farmers market the other day and though we bought a lot of lovely vegetables and fruit - we also discovered a local bakery we didn't know existed. Their website claims they go through 800 pounds of butter a year and cook everythign from basic, quality ingredients from scratch. We sampled a few things - and it sure tastes like it.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 That's pretty darn cool that you were able to realize that. I love being able to find out that I do or don't like this or that. > > I don't know what I like to eat yet. I used to eat really healthy foods because " it was good for me, " and then binge on junk. Well, since starting IE, I've eaten way more junk in the past few months than I think I have eaten in my entire life. Turns out, I don't even like much of it when I'm allowed to eat it! And other things, although I enjoy the taste, make me feel just awful. So, I think I might actually like the healthier foods because of the way they make me feel. And, I think that might end up being a key for me -- to eat in order to feel good (which is different than " to be healthy " even though the end result might be the same), with some junk thrown in every so often. > > Kathi > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
