roughly chopped walnuts & sprinkle of cinnamon....yum!...--debra

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.

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.

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!)

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)

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.

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.

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!

Texture is important . It's why I don't like bananas

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. We intend to become regular customers

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.
