Re: Anneliese’s Birth Story

Rebecca Mills — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 01:06:20 -0000

Who ever said that labor should be a walk in the park? It's not a vacation, it's bringing life into the world. It may be more "work" to not have drugs during labor/birth, but it's worth it -- those medications affect the mom's body and the baby and can cause many complications and problems in the short AND long-term. Pitocin is commonly used to start or "speed up" labor and is now being linked to autism. Babies born under the influence of pain medication have much more trouble with breastfeeding. And surgical birth can save lives when needed, but it comes with many, many serious risks for mom and baby. Birth interventions should only be used when absolutely necessary, not as a matter of course. And your thinly-veiled insult about her being naked was really unnecessary. Until you've gone through labor and birthed a baby, keep your mouth shut. For the record, you were probably mostly naked when your babies were being cut out of you, you just couldn't see or feel what was going on.

I made these like night, minus the chocolate chips and with coconut butter in place of the butter. They were so good I couldn't stop eating them!

Thanks for putting this here. Absolute comfort food and lucky for me, my mother brought me a can of those crunchies when she visited from the states over Christmas. I haven't eaten much and would never go out and buy my own but I guess they were waiting for this yummy (and delightfully American!) recipe.

I made the orange pillow covers out of fabric from Ikea. Super easy!

You could definitely use sugar. Just start with a little, and taste the
dough... when it's sweet enough for you, stop. haha.

I think a cheesecake crust would be an AMAZING application for this recipe.

Re: Grain-Free Gluten-Free Coconut Flour Pancake Recipe

JoyfulAbode — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 22:53:27 -0000

Yes, I'm sure... I make it all the time just as written. I'm wondering if
maybe you're using a coarser or finer coconut flour, or if you live in an
area with more humidity (humidity is almost 0 here in California's central
valley)... and if those things might affect how your batter turns out. Sorry
it's not working out for you!

I just asked my husband and he said he could taste peanut butter - you could
tell there was peanut butter in it, but that it didn't taste like a peanut
butter cake. It's hard to describe... it clearly doesn’t taste like a
flour-based cake - but peanut butter isn't the overwhelming flavor. Hope
that makes sense.

Good luck!

You know, I'm not sure! I don't even have wheat flour in my house anymore...
you could try it though. What's the worst thing that could happen?

Re: Grain-Free Low-Carb Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Phoghat — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 09:43:29 -0000

II don't have to be 100% gluten-flour free and I don't want to use coconut or almond flour. Can I use a small amount of wheat flour, and what kind: regular or bread flour?

Re: Grain-Free Low-Carb Cauliflower Crust Pizza

I have also been researching this recipe and with all due respects to Cleochatra this recipe (or something like it) seems to have originated with Og the caveman shortly after the discovery of fire and hunter gathering.

Wow! Thank you for the speedy quick reponse! Sounds perfect!

Re: Zingy Cauliflower Salad

JoyfulAbode — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 21:44:07 -0000

I steam it in the microwave - put it in a bowl with a tiny bit of water in the bottom, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave about 6 minutes... when you can smell it, and it smells yummy, it's done. Be sure to drain the water afterward.

Re: Zingy Cauliflower Salad

Kathy Fannon — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 21:35:03 -0000

How long did you steam the cauliflower? This would be the perfect thing for me to take to a family party on Sunday. :) Although, I will modify it half and half with plain Greek yogurt and olive oil mayo. Hmmm....may add some onion too!
