Babies and Kids / Re: easy raw apple 'jelly'
« on: June 30, 2010, 03:06:16 pm »
I just quarter it and blitz on 6-8 for 30 secs, then add a bit of water and do it on 9 for 2 mins to get a good texture. It does't matter if it is pretty thick as you want the end result thick and 'jellyish' anyway.

Other fruits would work as well - strong ones would be better - eg pineapple. Kiwi fruit and apple would be a good mix - would jide the chia seeds from picky kids too

Jams and Chutneys / Re: Chocolate Macadamia Spread

Sounds yum!

I find I can add quite a bit more milk with the hazlenut one and it is still a great consistancy. The best best best thing though about these spreads is the custard you make at the end so as not to waste any gorgy spread left in the bowl ;)

I make pancakes. Using the quantities of your fav pancake batter  just do : a millet, buckwheat and brown rice mix for a flour, various seeds - I grind linseed in the flour, pumpkin and sunflower I leave whole for texture, add some ripe banana and milk (dairy or non) and an egg and maybe a hadful of sultanas or dates if I need sweetness.

Beautiful as is. Or can add yogurt etc for a treat on top.

Thankyou SO much for this - I am really looking forward to trying it. Milo is about the only Nestle thing we have in teh house and I am so glad I may have a (far superiour) alternative that the kids may actually drink!

Babies and Kids / easy raw apple 'jelly'
« on: June 28, 2010, 05:07:04 pm »
juice an apple - add a touch of water if you need too but not too much - you want an intense taste
pop about 80mls into a small glass and add 1 or 2 tsp of chia seeds
mix
leave in fridge for 10 or so mins to set
voila! easy healthy 'jelly'. My kids and their friends love them.

Desserts / Kids fav dessert
« on: June 28, 2010, 05:04:16 pm »
frozen bananas - pre chopped'
handful of raw nuts - I like the bitterness of walnuts for this or a mix of haszlemuts and almonds and walnuts
ricotta - maybe a cup or so - to taste

blitz it up on S9 for 30-90 secs depending on how you liek the consistancy

Also fabulous to add frozen rasberries and or dark chocolate pieces

Easy and fabulous.

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Re: Cooking quinoa
« on: June 28, 2010, 04:41:40 pm »
I do it in the bowl but in all honesty, with quinoa, I find the absorption method on the stove top actually gives the best results.

I'm with Gretchen. I dry mine and store with the MC inside the basket and the lid sitting on top , not locked in - so it can dry and let air flow. Reduces smelling considerably.

def should be replaced.

Thankyou - this looks great! I have left over cream, smoked salmon,some chopped tomatos and some fresh pasta made two days ago and I was wondering what I would do with it. This is perfect.

Recipe Requests / Re: ISO (in search of) a recipe to make my own pasta
« on: April 01, 2010, 03:01:28 pm »
I've used that recipie a few times and it has been fine. It does look like breadcrumbs - I just pull it out and press it all together - give it a little knead and let it sit while I assemble the pasta machine and it seems to work fine.

I do have issues storing it though - I keep it in the fridge and it seems to stick together too much when I cook it.

I am going to try with gluten free grains so that may be interesting!

I made this and it is excellent. Whole family love it. Next time I will use a little less coconut oil though.
