What makes Museli different? Bircher vs. others??
Thats something else that is on my "must try" list....
Blackberry pancakes - these were so good - the blackberries were through the pancakes so this pic doesn't show them :(

Bircher is generally soaked over night in some type of juice.

oh my yes, salt and pepper calamari is one of my favourites - especially with lashings of aoli FTW! very tricky to get right though - there is a great pescetarian restaurant in chch called duxdelux [url]www.thedux.co.nz[/url] where I have had the best in my life and also some true disappointments!

How do you prepare your CC Ice Cream?? I'm so glad you liked it :D
[QUOTE=amj0883;188377101]How do you prepare your CC Ice Cream?? I'm so glad you liked it :D[/QUOTE]
hey amj..well, you got me started with the idea of CC as a sweet treat and kitebean had a pic of hers in here...her actual recipe is in this thread....i think the only thing i did diff is that i don't have any psycillium(sp) or stevia
i just blend 3/4c CC
70g frozen razz-berries
a touch vanilla
2-3 splenda pkts (don't have any stevia)
put it in the freezer for about 1-2 hr..then mix it up and it's like soft serve ice cream:).....
i must say it IS a bugger to blend...i've used both a blender and a prossesor and ya just have to work it...if it gets too stuck i add a bit of pre-made protein shake...just a bit
now i'll have to go back and check your recipe cuz i got the blender and prossesor ready for new goodies...:)
I just wish recipes posted here includes on how they prepare it. Coz I'm craving with them now !

Ummm...do share the recipe lady!!!!!!!!
[QUOTE=amj0883;188759551]Ummm...do share the recipe lady!!!!!!!![/QUOTE]
my recipe is pretty much the basic...if you make about 6 cakes from the recipe..each cake should be about 90 cals...14 pro...6 carb...1 fat...
i make the batch and keep them in the fridge...or even the freezer...sometimes i add pumpkin or whatever...but this is a good recipe to fool around with
protein pancakes
1/2c cott. chz
6 egg whites
1/4c (or a little less...) yogurt-i use vanilla
1/2c oatmeal...(1st blend into oat-flour, then remove from bleder)
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
2 pkts splenda
approx 1 tsp cinnimon or pumpkin spice
blend all the wet ingred.....then slowly add the dry
i let it sit for about 15min
then cook 'em up....:)
[b]ugly, BUT deeeelishious LEFT-OVERS...talapia and pot roast[/b]

Just wondering...are the meals you guys make all single meals or for the rest of the family/partners as well? I have learnt that I am a visual person because of this thread...I 'read' food posts in journals but this thread really changes those posts for me.
Just thinking out loud here...

Probably 5 or 4 out of a weeks worth of dinnertime meals will be for both of us - but I will slightly alter them for Colin, for example cook the fish with some olive oil, serve it with a side of grain, eg rice or quinoa - use liberal amounts of yummy pesto and cheese, or more carby veg like parsnip or carrot or more kumara, marinate his salmon in manis ketchup (the most glorious sweet soy sauce :eek: )... of course he gets bigger portions. As we are both pescatarians it's quite simple to make amendments/additions rather than cooking something completely different.
I went 'Mexican' tonight!
