re cauliflower and apple cake and recipes
 

Came back from a mini vacation and found this diatribe on cauliflower- my
goodness. thinking more than the cauliflower got roasted ! ( grin )

Apple cake recipe posted by Susan is one I am familiar with.

Sharing this 2nd dessert recipe below for those who may consider it.
Just reading messages from this group, some may want to try and improvise
this one.

A friend gave this me and I admit I never tried it because I don't use the
Dzerta whipped topping and cannot see why whipped cream or something else
could replace it.

And also I sometimes dust my pan with crumbs and no heavy crust is used.
Maybe a smaller pan could be used if no crust is used.

So here it is for adaptation as needed , perhaps " could be " for a
special dessert for some of you !


Also Barley recipe. I love it and consider it a healthy good fiber grain.
Do any of you like barley and include it in your diet?

Spikes me - but might be good cooked with amaranth or quinoa, both of
which are fine, especially with lots of parsley or similar folded into
leftovers... mmmmm.... love the idea of putting walnuts in.

I'm with you on the whip stuff - cream will do nicely! Almond flour
makes a lovely cheesecake crust. Actually, all I do with all my old
cheesecake recipes is sweeten them with Splenda these days. Neither
the cooked nor cream cheese types spike me at all. Can't remember when
I last made one, though. I'm running around too much this week, but
you've definitely put the idea in my head...

I used to make a tomato and barley soup that my daughter and I loved. Alas
with her gluten allergy she can no longer have it. Now I pretty much limit
myself to a can of soup that is beef with barley and vegetables. It doesn't
contain a lot of barley but it tastes good and I'm not allergic to it. And
one can seems to work out right with my BG, although sometimes I find it
necessary to add a few carbs.

Yep - my situation exactly. And reminded me that it's time
to make another ten serves of soup today.

I use only two or three tablespoons in my soup, which makes
ten serves.

DH handles lentils and other legumes well, too. He doesn't do that well
with barley either. Quinoa works well for him, too.

I have a recipe somewhere for a nice lentil salad. I'll look for it and
post it.
