So these aren't really anything special. In fact I almost didn't post about these as I haven't been all that into the whole blogging thing this week (I've had to force myself so I don't get behind and have tons of recipes and pictures waiting to be posted about), and as I said, these really aren't anything to write home about.

However, our first two experiences with it were pretty bad.I decided to try out a simple curry and veg

We have been using what both Brett and I consider a fairly subpar chocolate cookie recipe for awhile. It wasn't that they didn't taste good - they did - it's just they were thin and crispy, when we both wanted a thicker and chewier cookie. I'm just pretty lazy and not really the biggest baker, so it took me a long time to get around to it. I wanted to find something that was whole grain, but still

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I did a lot of baking over the weekend for a project that I am working on. I've gotten a few spiced bread recipes down (nothing special, just basic pumpkin and zucchini bread recipes, I just used whole grain spelt flour), have worked on brownies and blondies (they need a little work before I blog about them), so over the weekend, I focused on cookies.

A wheat-free diet involves cutting out all products made from wheat and wheat flour, such as bread. It is not the same as a gluten-free diet. On a wheat-free diet you just have to cut out wheat products alone, but on a gluten-free diet you must cut out all wheat, oats, barley and rye, because all of these foods contain gluten.

From the Centre for Research on Globalization : A deadly fungus, known as Ug99, which kills wheat, has likely spread to Pakistan from Africa according to reports in the British New Scientist magazine. If true, that threatens the vital Asian Bread Basket including the Punjab region. The spread of the deadly virus, stem rust, against which an effective fungicide does not exist, comes as world grain stocks reach the lowest in four decades and government subsidized bio-ethanol production, especially in the USA, Brazil and EU are taking land out of food production at alarming rates. The deadly fungus is being used by Monsanto and the US Government to spread patented GMO seeds. Stem rust is the worst of three rusts that afflict wheat plants. The fungus grows primarily in the stems, p

A dangerous new fungus with the ability to destroy entire wheat fields has been detected in Iran, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported today. The wheat stem rust, whose spores are carried by wind across continents, was previously found in East Africa and Yemen and has moved to Iran, which said that laboratory tests have confirmed its presence in some localities in Broujerd and Hamedan in the country’s west. Up to 80 per cent of all Asian and African wheat varieties are susceptible to the fungus, and major wheat-producing nations to Iran’s east – such as Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan – should be on high alert, FAO warned. “The fungus is spreading rapidly and could seriously lower wheat production in countries a

Wheat allergies are less common than other allergies (such as dairy, or peanut allergies), and this is a good thing because there are so many foods that contain wheat or wheat derivatives that avoiding them can be very difficult.

This is in no way a complete list of whole wheat pastas out there but here's what we thought of the five kinds we've tried. Severino Homemade Pasta is one of our favorites. The company started as a family shop in NJ over 30 years ago and we're glad they decided to expand into boxed dry pastas. We tried the stone ground whole wheat gemelli (doesn't look like other gemelli) during a family dinner. We served it with meatballs and it was a hit. Their pastas are a lot darker looking than other pastas but the texture and flavor is great. They don't taste like regular white pasta but equally terrific.Shop Rite 100% Whole Wheat Rotini is pretty good and one of the cheapest of the whole wheat pastas.

In spite of being situated in Satara district, Puneites claim the hill stations of Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani as if it were their own back yard. My first trip to Mahabaleshwar (or Mabby as the wannabe cool kids called it) was in 1980 at a ripe old age of 10.

How forgiving can life get? The kids enjoyed it, & the whole-wheat flour make no difference to them.Am gl

A receita de hoje é muito ao gosto daqueles/as que mesmo durante o Inverno, têm a preocupação de no próximo verão, não se confundirem com uma "duna", nos primeiros dias de praia! É um pão que tendo por base a farinha de trigo integral, não cresce muito.
