Tempt

I am here today to sing the praises of TEMPT...a frozen treat made with hemp milk. I bought the one with coffee and biscotti and it is gluten free as well as dairy and soy free. It is the best frozen treat I have tried since I gave up all that I gave up. It isn't sugar free and I'm not perfect. LOL

HUGS AND LOVE

Black bean buckwheat soup

I like the recipe for black bean soup that is on the Good Seasonings Italian dressing packets. It calls for rice but i used a quarter of a cup of kasha ( roasted buckwheat) instead. It was delicious.

Two cans of Swanson's chicken bouillon

Two cans of Black beans (undrained)

Chopped onion and celery

Salt and pepper

One packet of Good Seasoning Italian dressing

Olive oil

Sautee chopped vegetables in the olive oil

Add all canned items and salt and pepper and seasoning packet

Bring to a boil, add one quarter of a cup of kasha, cover and simmer on low for ten minutes

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snyder's GF pretzels

I try not to have grains but when I heard that Snyder's came out with a GF pretzel I was curious. I tried them and I like them. What a nice snack when I cam craving crunch and salt. YUMMY!

Swedish meatballs w cream of buckwheat

I had a craving for Swedish meatballs so I went online looked over a few recipes and then made my own version. Ground beef Cream of Buckwheat hemp milk grated potatoes grated onions parsley Mix well and form into meatballs...baked them in a 350 deg. oven in a greased baking pan for 20 minutes then I poured a carton of organic nondairy portabello mushroom soup over the meatballs and cooked for 40-60 minutes longer. OMG delish! My father's roots are in Sweden (Axelson) so yah...dus is goot...lol

gluten free is cutting edge...buckwheat rules

http://health.yahoo.net/rodale/MH/is-gluten-making-us-fat I just got three boxes of the buckwheat flakes in the mail after ordering them online since I could not find them in any of the stores I frequent. BUCKWHEAT BUCKWHEAT BUCKWHEAT...who knew I was on the cutting edge...yes!!!!!!!!! PS just made up buckwheat chicken broth soup...took 1/4 cup cream of buckwheat cereal added to a can of Swanson chicken broth and salt, pepper, powdered garlic and powdered onion...microwaved in big covered bowl for 4 minutes...yummy.

Back to buckwheat this time hemp pancakes

I have such a great time experimenting with my buckwheat cooking and baking...here is my latest.

Blueberry buckwheat pancakes with hemp milk

I cup buckwheat flour

I 1/2 cups hemp milk

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. sea salt

2 generous squirts-2 TB of Agave syrup

1 TB olive oil

2 TB tapioca flour

Whip up and cook on medium (a little towards the med.-high range will brown them) lightly greased griddle, cool on wire rack. I bag up the leftovers and use for pancakes or flatbread at a later date.

I put a large spoonful of frozen blueberries on a plate and pour real maple syrup over them, microwave for a minute and top with two pancakes...oh man, it is like I am having a fancy dessert...I LOVE IT! You will too.
