[CnD] Paleo recipe bananas eggs almond flour supposed to be pancakes help
Hi, I just tried the following recipe: Paleo Pancakes 3 bananas 2 eggs 3-4 tablespoons almond butter A little vanilla or cinnamon, I used vanilla This is from Diana's site: https://curious.com/realhealthyrecipes The course was very difficult for a blind person to take, and I wouldn't suggest anyone trying it, but I did get all the way through. She says to cook on one side until bubbly and then flip. The problem is that the batter never got solid enough for a blind person to turn easily. But it tastes great. I'm now putting the leftover batter in a muffin tin to see what happens. Any ideas for making the pancakes? Could I just cook it more like scrambled eggs?

Basically, I can only have soft things (cooked pasta, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, rice pudding, custards, that kind of thing) and nothing with high acid content (so no tomatoes, chile, and so on). Onions are also out, except in small amounts, as is anything hard (nuts, seeds, whole grains, most any meat, fresh fruits or vegetables, etc). I'm growing tired of macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes, and I'd love any suggestions anyone has. I'm mostly looking for any pasta sauces you might know of that fit the requirements (no chunks of anything, little to no acid, onions, or hot flavors). If you have ideas for other dishes, though, I'd appreciate those as well.

Re: [CnD] Looking for recipe ideas for a restricted diet
Is quinoa out?

Basically, I can only have soft things (cooked pasta, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, rice pudding, custards, that kind of thing) and nothing with high acid content (so no tomatoes, chile, and so on). Onions are also out, except in small amounts, as is anything hard (nuts, seeds, whole grains, most any meat, fresh fruits or vegetables, etc). I'm growing tired of macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes, and I'd love any suggestions anyone has.

You could also mash lentils and beans with cheese, or add cumin to mashed beans.

Alfredo sauce is of course going to avoid the acid from tomatoes. But it seems your biggest challenge is getting a decent amount of protein, as many meats will be out of the question. Mashed beans won't break the soft rule, so you'll want to cook them for a while and then either mash them against the side of the pot with a spoon or if you want them even finer run them through a blender. You're going to want a bit more spicing to keep from going out of your gourd with culinary boredom, so you might want to pick up a couple of envelopes of ranch dressing mix and sprinkle some of the seasoning into what you're making to give it a bit more flavor. Fish is pretty soft in body, especially whitefish like Pollock, tilapia, and even canned tuna. You can also find soups with no tomato base, like various chicken soups, split pea, bean with bacon, and New England clam chowder, though you'll probably want to run the latter through a blender to turn the clams into fragments. Cabbage soup, which involves cooking cabbage until it's way past limp, might also give you some flavor variety, but you can speed up the process by mincing the cabbage very fine. Those are some ideas. Hope it goes well. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Alex Hall via Cookinginthedark Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2014 8:43 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Subject: [CnD] Looking for recipe ideas for a restricted diet Hello all, It's a long story, but suffice it to say that I'm stuck on a rather restricted diet for the next week, and I've already been on it for five days.

Re: [CnD] Cooking rice in an electric rice cooker
Any kind will work. Brown, white, short or long grain. The cooker will ding when done so you don't need to watch times, that is if you have a model where you push the lever down.

Cover and chill several hours. NOTE: I added three hard cooked eggs chopped. I also substituted dill relish for the sweet relish called for because that's what I had on hand. I actually like it better.
