Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Bee - I'm confused about zucchini - is it a " yes, yes " or a " no, no " . You have it listed in your article as high in carbs and yet I note that the recipe for almond bread contains zucchini. Could you explain?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 hey penny the almond bread recipe comes originally from another diet protocol, our friend had posted it here, because it uses almond flour as the base, and she ws experimenting with the recipe. zucchini is a higher carb veggie, as are all the squashes, so i'd say when you're doing the full-on candida diet, its best to avoid them whenever possible. also, the almond meal or almond flour used in this recipe is not made from soaked almonds, so we're looking at the phytate dilemma again! maybe we'll have to review that recipe and either tweak it, or let it go. thanks for bringing that up! ~ suz > Bee - I'm confused about zucchini - is it a " yes, yes " or a " no, no " .

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Thanks Suz for answering my query. (And darn it anyway - I was practically salivating over the thought of some honest-to goodness " bread " . With butter and...............) But onward and upward - I'm sure the recipe section will expand as we all start experimenting. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 i'll bet we can figure out a way! the soaking, then drying, then grinding of almonds sounds like a lot of work for a slice of bread, but one of these days i just may get in the mood and do it! i'll let you know... the almond bread is super-dense, it would be really good warm & slathered with butter. oh my i think i'm hungry! ~suz I was practically > salivating over the thought of some honest-to goodness " bread " .

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Ah Ross, you always hit the culinary fine points! So decisions decisions ... pickles or ratatouille? I could not decide, so I made both. Yummm. The pickles I didn't think I would like: I'm not usually a fan of sweet relish. But this was really good. All that salting seemed overkill, but it ended up being a nice crunchy relish (I didn't grind the ingredients, I chopped them finely). I also added a jalepeno pepper, so it has a nice kick. Reminds me of Thai sweet/hot sauce, only quite a bit better. The celery seeds really work, I think. I do love ratatouille but I had forgotten about it. That's got to be one of my favorite perfect foods.
