Cakes / Re: Magic Bean Cake
« on: December 15, 2012, 05:56:17 am »
I make this cake all the time but use coconut oil so it's dairy free and rapadura (a bit less than the recipes asks for in sugar), sometimes I add frozen berries too and make an icing out dates cocoa and coconut cream with a little rice malt syrup. It's always a hit! only wind repercussions i've noticed or heard of were from a friend who was breast feeding and her baby got very windy.

So by chia powder, do you mean chai tea powdered, do you just blitz chai tea ? Chai is a mix of herbs to make an indian spiced tea and chia are seeds. ;)

I would love some recipes, if you found any as I am trying to go sugar and refined carbohydrate free to stabilise my blood sugar levels, most sugar free recipes still contain sugar just in different forms :(

The same thing has happened to mine!

I am considering buying this book but am wondering if the recipes use a lot of soy and wheat (we are soy, dairy and gluten free), I find I don't use the vegetarian cook book much as a lot of the recipes have soy, wheat and dairy in them. We are not vegan or vegetarian but enjoy a lot of vegan food and only eat organic and free range meat, which is expensive, so don't eat a lot of it!

mmm that salad mix looks good, i don't know what dried herbs i'd use though! sounds like i need a vaccum sealer now (although i've never been sure about the plastic, i don't use plastic!), i think freezing things is the way to go as we will only have eskys so it will be colder in the esky  if the food is frozen!

Chit Chat / Preparation for Bimby free camping?
« on: October 11, 2011, 10:22:25 am »
Any one got any tips, ideas, pr-prepared recipes for making life without Bimby easier? We're going camping, proper camping without electricity but I think I have forgotten how to cook without Bimby! We always do a camp oven roast and jaffels, spuds and corn in the fire, but what I'm wondering is what would you prepare in bimby at home before going away?

The ADHD remedy is called synaptol ( sp?), my friend was able to stop her sons medication when she started using this so it's worth a shot as homeopathics don't have side effects!

I second what tarosuma said about reestablishing gut flora- super important! Also essential fatty acids super important for brain function eg, mercury free fish oil or udos  oil ( more expensive but balanced properly).

Failsafe is probably a good idea! I would definatly avoid all food additives, especially supermarket bread! Wheat, dairy and sallicylates and sugar can have huge impact on behavior too, mu son is not ADHD but behaves like he is if consumes these foods so I imagine they would probably effect a child with ADHD as well. There is also a natural homeopathic ADHD remedy that friends of mine have had success with I will find out what it is called and get back to you. It might be worth seeing a good kinesiologist as they can test to see what foods are effecting your son and also can do exercises etc to help with left right brain integration, concentration and learning issues!

Chit Chat / Re: Juicer?
« on: September 21, 2011, 02:22:39 am »
If you were going to buy a juicer for nutritional reasons I would get a masticating juicer that crushes the food rather than a centrifugal one that chops and spins. To get maximum enzymes etc you don't want the juice heated at all as the centrifugal one do! They can be quite expensive though, I got a cheaper smaller one think it's called a champion mini? It works well but is a bit time consuming as you need to cut the pieces quite small and they do juice slower in order to not heat and destroy the nutrients. If you went going to get a masticating juicer I would just use the Thermomix!
