Onion-Vegie Quiche

Quiche Crust

When making the Cauliflower-Walnut "Meatballs", converting some of the recipe into a quiche crust felt doable. (A pizza crust with a seed paste and sliced tomatoes would be awesome too I think.) Anyway, I greased a pie dish with coconut oil and dusted it with garbanzo bean flour in hopes that the pie wouldn't stick. And then I pressed a wad of "dough" into the pan to form a uniform basin.

Quiche Filling

4 eggs, beat well
1 large onion, sliced small
5-10 cherry tomatoes sliced small and/or tiny bits of dried tomatoes
10 sesame leaves, scissored finely
1 stalk celery, finely sliced in moons
1 heaping teaspoon garlic powder
sea salt

Bake at 350F for 35 minutes. This was a shallow dish quiche so I didn't want to overcook the eggs but wanted the crust done. With this in mind, I baked the crust first for 10 minutes and then added the egg and vegie mixture and baked everything together the remaining 25 minutes.

Sprouted Lentil Crackers

For 6 days after soaking a 1/2 cup of lentils overnight I allowed them to sprout in a plastic collander covered lightly by a silk-like cloth. At least twice a day I rinsed the lentils (it's winter so I don't need to rinse them so often to keep them fresh). Because my apartment is cool and my pantry with large slightly opened window where I sprout cooler, it took longer than usual for the lentils to sprout and grow, but I didn't need to worry so much about e.coli forming, which is more likely to happen in hotter weather. So after 6 days when the sprouts were growing into a tangle, I found some time to finally make some crackers. Long ago I made some lentil crackers , which turned out really good, so since I was planning a weekend train trip, I thought some crackers for nibbling on the train or when hiking would be nice. And, yup, they were pretty tasty ... although I have to admit, the lentil crackers I ma...

Feasting on Spaghetti Squash

The only squash that are OK for people with candida are zucchini and spaghetti squash. Sometimes a person can eat yellow squash but for some reason, as it is a summer squash unlike zucchini, it has something (probably more starchy) that messes with people with actute candida. The other squashes are extremely starchy, which is too bad, because they're also full of vitamin A, which most people with candida need more of, myself included. Spaghetti squash is recommended as a diet food, and for some, as a pasta replacement as its calorie per serving is much lower. The spaghetti squash, when baked, forks out of the shell in long strand-like spaghettis, hence its name. As for nutrition, it's not like other winter squash in nutrition but neither is it anywhere near as starchy. According to the US Dept of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient database, 1 cup of cooked spaghetti squash provides 42 calories, 0.4 grams of fat, 1 g of protein, 10 g of carbohydrate (4 g as sugar - so sto...
