I can’t get over how good this “ricotta” is. I mean, it’s made from pine nuts, for pete’s sake. So far, I’ve had it as baked ziti (even better the second day) three times (usually rice noodles, tomato sauce, the pine-nut ricotta, and ground sausage) and as pizza three times (on a buckwheat crust, which I’m still working on). My son loves the pizza. We use lime juice instead of lemon juice, because my son can have limes on rotation every 4 days, but no lemons or oranges. And the last time I made the pizza (shhh, don’t
So yesterday I wanted sushi, and I’ve been looking for pickled ginger and it all either had citric acid (corn), vinegar (never said what kind) or nutrasweet (yuck, and also a corn derivative) so I made some myself. It was FANTASTIC. We had avocado and (cooked) shrimp sushi. I used a peeler to get it the right thickness. I was so motivated by that, that this morning I got up early and made bread. It’s the old recipe, but by changing the almond milk to water and the guar gum (a legume which my son doesn’t tolerate) to karaya gum
Last Friday, I made these marshmallows(omitting the salt, because the recipe didn’t say where to use it, and only beating for 5 minutes, with a wire whip). They were fantastic! There were safe for my daughter, but not for my son (who can’t have cane sugar). BUT I’ve now figured out how to make a replacement for corn syrup/Lyle’s Golden Syrup out of palm sugar, so as soon as I get to the Asian market to get more palm sugar, I’m going to make him a batch. One of the neighbors had one, and he said they were
I decided it’s been a while since I trialed anything for my son. He hadn’t had white potatoes in over 2.5 years (even though the ALCAT test said they were fine) since I knew he reacted to them. He’s been doing really well with the digestive enzymes and the cranio-sacral work, so I decided to trial him. Last Friday, on the way up to New York, around 2pm, I gave him about half a cup of Utz potato chips. He savored them, eating them very slowly and telling me how good they tasted. When he was finished, he asked for
Go to www.buckwheatpete.comand buy this man’s cookbooks. I made the English muffins at the end of last week. My son was SO excited to have a bun for his hamburger - the first time in a year. He slathered our homemade ketchup on it, and then asked for another. I’ve had two turkey, avocado, and sprout sandwiches. Sooooo good. I still have to try some more of his recipes. But so far, so good. And not a bad price either.
Addendum: Last night I made my third batch in less than 2 weeks BUT I made half into English muffins
