Two Layers

Thank you all so much for all your kind works about my exam! I slept well last night (after organizing my childhood bedroom and reading through old diaries from 1994!). But I woke up early today with a brain filled with excitement.

Smoothie, as promised

:mrgreen: this !

IMG_9799 (640x427)

Can you make a smoothie with watermelon, grapes, and apples? Yes you can.

IMG_9779 (640x427)

I put about a cup of this in the blender with a banana and a cup of milk. The result was a really fluffy, cloud-like top layer and a more juicy, melony bottom layer. I gobbled the top layer down and was less interested in the melony layer, which tasted like cucumber, but I still drank most of it.

For toppings, we can Great Harvest goodies! I think I’m in withdrawal!!

I dove into this Vegan Apple Cinnamon Muffin – it was topped with cinnamon sugar and was SO doughy!! LOVE! Unfortunately it wasn’t 100% whole wheat, but it was 100% real food 🙂

IMG_9780 (640x427)

The muffin floated nicely on top!

What’s with my family and frogs on the porch!?

    “…it wasn’t 100% whole wheat, but it was 100% real food!”

    I love that! I can’t always get my baking to turn out right, so I often have to incorporate all purpose flour, but somewhat recently I discovered whole wheat pastry flour, and I can’t tell the difference between it and AP! It has sort of changed my life.

    Hi Kath! I have a question about our beloved GREAT HARVEST! 🙂

    I love using the honey whole wheat for my PB sandwiches, but (according to the website nutrition info), two servings is around 600mg of sodium! yikes! I know 2 ounces is (generally) supposed to be two servings of bread instead of one, but you and I both know how dense each slice of GH bread can be!

    Any bread suggestions that include all the good real ingredients without so much salt??

    Reply
    • Kath says

      August 10, 2010 at 1:38 pm

      I don’t track sodium at all, so I had no idea.

      So are you saying that 2 oz is 300 mg? 1 slice? It does seem a bit high. Is this for all breads? Not sure what to say!

    Your smoothies always look so tasty and refreshing to me. I worry though that a smoothie wouldn’t hold me over until lunch. Do you find yourself getting snacky before lunch on the days you have a smoothie for breakfast instead of oatmeal?

    Hey, I have a question, are you in VA or NC right now??
    I live in Cary, NC, and there is a great harvest quite close to my neighborhood, which I love by the way, their bread are truly the best! I have been meaning to say this here for so long, I totally agree with your enthusiasm for GH goodies!
    I saw you took the exam in Cary, I just wasn’t sure if it was here in NC or another Cary out there…

    Question, have you tried this stuff: http://www.soofoo.com/ ?

    It appears to be a pre-bagged blend of different grains etc. Not sure how the cost would compare to buying your own bulk items and all that, but curious if you’d sampled it.

    It is the newest ‘invention’ by the guy who made Skyy Vodka.
