Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hello, Does anyone in this group make their own seitan? After reading many different recipe sites I've experimented with different recipes and ways of cooking it, as well different times and types of kneading it. I'm interested in knowing if you make it, how you do it. Last week a friend gave me some seitan prepared by Vietnamese Buddhists, and it was THE best I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, she was not able to get the ingredients or the name L It was incredibly addicting and I ate it all before I got the camera turned on! It was very dense and it seemed to be wrapped in seaweed and had a couple of sprouts and possibly parsley or cilantro with the wrap. I didn’t recognize the intense seasonings but I sure wish I did. I have very little space available so I will try to recreate what I can if I can.

Fat Free Stevia Cake - Any Suggestions? Posted by: " shenlvst2 " shenoa shenlvst2 Thu Jul 2, 2009 4:09 pm (PDT) Hi, all! I'm searching high and low for a fatfree stevia sweetened cake and not doing too well. Does anyone have suggestions?

Posted by: " Susan Voisin " susan svoisin2001 Thu Jul 2, 2009 8:00 pm (PDT) You may have already seen it, but on my blog I have a Coconut-Chai Cake sweetened with stevia. But it doesn't have to have either coconut or chai. You can remove those ingredients and the spices and substitute the flavors of your choice. If you give me a hint of what you're looking for, I can probably come up with flavorings and amounts.

Posted by: " Debbie " debbie dcowherd Thu Jul 2, 2009 6:36 pm (PDT) I use Mastercook to store and organize my recipes, but am investigating switching to " the cloud " for this so I can use my netbook to accumulate and access recipes. Does anybody have an online recipe database they particularly like? It doesn't have to have the full functionality of Mastercook, but would would like some nutritional information and would, of course, like to be able to add and store my own recipes, not just the ones the site offers. I would also like a way to easily format recipes for printing them out, if necessary (but my thought is I wouldn't need to print out so much with the netbook). Menus, shopping lists, etc would be nice but not necessary features. I would be willing to consider a pay site if the fee-to-feature ratio is good. Thanks!

You can buy their software, too, for ease of import/export, which is great and I recommend it, but you don't have to. And their customer service rocks.

Posted by: " Debbie " debbie dcowherd Fri Jul 3, 2009 10:43 am (PDT) BigOven looks interesting, but I'm not clear if my recipes will be stored online or on my computer. I really want my stuff stored online -- my PC is windows based, but the netbook is (will be when it is delivered) linux based. There's no linux software for this Big Oven, but I really don't want to download software to the netbook anyway. I suppose you can add recipes to the online database and then tag them so you can sort of organize them online, but my trial recipe was cumbersome to add. Am I missing something? (Okay, I did download the trial version of the software and it does look good, you're right. If I were looking to replace Mastercook with another desktop program this would definitely be a contender. But it does look like the recipes are stored on your computer, not on line, unless you upload them and then they're dumped into the main database without any way to organize them, other than by tags.) I'll investigate this further, meanwhile other suggestions are still welcome! Debbie Serene wrote: > BigOven (bigoven.com).

I have been a vegetarian for years. I went fat free, dairy free about 4 days ago and noticed that my sinus headaches went away. I was bad tonight and had some cheese on my dinner and had a headache within about a half hour. It seems to me that it's probably related to the cheese. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it my imagination or just a coincidence? I love the recipes in the files and also on fatfreevegan blog. My son and husband were drooling over some of the pictures and wanting me to make some right away.

I was bad tonight and had some cheese on my dinner and had a headache within about a half hour. It seems to me that it's probably related to the cheese. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it my imagination or just a coincidence? One slice of cheese or one sip of real dairy milk and my sinuses clog up for three days afterwards. It's not your imagination.

Re: new member intro Posted by: " Michelle Dixon " Petagoatjunction jabaldja Sat Jul 4, 2009 8:25 am (PDT) Thank you for the info on the headaches. I've been plagued with sinus headaches for years, some turning into migraines. I don't drink milk because it bothers my intestinal tract, but never thought about dairy produces affecting my head. Now I know I'm on the right path. Thank You!

Seeking fat-free wholemeal soft tortilla recipe Posted by: " suzie_rssll " suzierussell suzie_rssll Sun Jul 5, 2009 10:10 am (PDT) Hi everyone, My hubbie and I are eating far too many burritos now that a great Taco Bar opened in our town. I've got to start making a healthier version, using less fat. Does anyone (Susan?!!) have a tried and true recipe? From what I've seen on the internet, you can use milk to use less fat. I wonder if rice milk would be ok? My love-handles will thank you.
