New foods to try

Posted by pmrsuzie @pmrsuzie, Aug 26 12:32pm

Yesterday in the grocery store I found Breyer's vanilla ice cream made with oat milk. It's non-dairy and reasonably healthy. It does have sugar so you need to watch the serving portion which is 2/3 cup. Had some last night and it's very good - an enjoyable summertime treat.
Since the contaminated lettuce story was on the news, I have avoided buying lettuce. I was regularly making salads but have now been more selective about produce. Washing lettuce is too much of a pain.
So my fresh produce at dinner has been with home grown tomatoes, cucumbers or store bought celery and carrots. All much easier to wash.
Tomatoes - dice, add ground pepper and lite ranch dressing
Cucumbers - slice, add a little sugar, ground pepper, dill, lite sour cream
Carrot and celery sticks - whipped cream cheese with home grown diced chives
Please share some menu ideas!

I am finding the oat milk ice cream a winner. Tastes good and creamy. Meniere's/migraine diet keeps me from eating a lot of things. I can break up no salt pretzels and stir them in the ice cream. Yummy.

Someone in my family is facing major surgery and is on a higher than normal protein diet. I'm searching for some recipes with plant based protein powder. I made some peanut butter cookies that taste petty good and will use that recipe again.
A lot of the recipes use coconut sugar which is new to me. Apparently coconut sugar has become more popular in the last few year.
A lot of the recipes use healthier flours which have also become more popular.

@pmrsuzie I've been enjoying Italian hummus for the past year or so. It uses cannellini beans instead of garbanzo. I add in lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs and spices to taste. I also include extra firm tofu, and I don't use tahini, even though it is listed in most recipes. Sometimes I add protein powder, and sometimes not. It already has quite a bit of protein in each serving. I like it on toast for breakfast and with sandwiches, and it is also a good dip.
