I bake my chicken using lots of herbs, then I boil the bones for a few hours, and I add the chicken and veggies toward the end after I remove the bones. I let it sit in the fridge overnight. The next day I scrape off most of the fat then freeze it. I'll try the turmeric and green chili power—thanks for the tip, SweetB. |

I have a bean question Jesse.
I know that ACV is used in cooking grains.... but what about soaking/cooking beans? I'm craving garbanzo beans. Should I soaking them with ACV added to the water? Making hummus later with them. Not all of course. Moderation I have the Nourlshing Traditions on my table right now. Not having much luck figuring it out. Page number ? Will Bing it shortly. Thanks. I wish you would start a blog. Or invite all of us to visit and have a food prep conference. Sigh. |

I know that some people add 2 tablespoons of ACV, or lemon juice, (either one works) when they have their beans on for a long soak. The consensus seems to be that soaking them up to 48 hours and allowing them to ferment a bit gets rid of more of the scum this is full of phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors. From what I have read, doing this and repeatedly rinsing the beans in between soaks stops the digestion problems generally associated with eating beans.
As for me? I soak my beans in hot water over night, rinse really well, then cover with water and bring to a rolling boil and add a healthy sized pinch of baking soda and stir well. I skim off any bean scum, add in seasoning and garlic, top with a lid and simmer until done. Thank you for the compliments, but I fear I fail miserably when it comes to a lot of this stuff. Try this website, they are cooking all of the recipes from The Nourishing Traditions cookbook. http://thenourishingcook.com/phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors Quote:

Oh and talking about homemade broths-- I love bone broth. Anyone else?
My last batch was made out of chicken feet-- they work wonders for the gelatin part. I normally just add feet, carrots, onion, garlic, rosemary, and water in the crock-- cook for 24 hours. Its awesome. I'll do the same for beef bones. |

Gluten Free Coconut Flour Pumpkin Muffins Prepared by Sarah Shilhavy Photo by Jeremiah Shilhavy Servings: 12 muffins Preparation time: 10 minutes Bake at: 400F for 12 minutes or until toothpick in center comes out clean
Sift together coconut flour and spices together. Whisk remaining ingredients together (except walnuts) in a separate bowl until well mixed. With a wooden spoon or whisk stir the flour mixture gradually into the pumpkin mixture so that no lumps remain. Divide batter between 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle with walnuts. Bake for 12 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Do not over bake as the flour can burn easily. Frost with icing once cool (optional). Cream Cheese Icing
I copied this recipe from Tropical Traditions where I buy my coconut from. I haven't tried it yet but will soon.

What kind of coconut do you purchase from them? We purchased some oil -- a bit back, and it tasted just like all the others.
The recipe- sounds good. My thing is-- I've made about 2 batches of "pumpkin" muffins, but feel 1/2 cup of pumpkin is just NOT enough. So why do most recipes only call for small amounts? Do you think if I added more pumpkin, that I would have to use less eggs? Any suggestions. |

I buy the certified organic extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil, and I buy my coconut in bulk and get the certified organic chips or shredded whichever has a sale on usually.
Do you not like the taste of the coconut oil or is there something else? As for changing the recipe I'm not sure what to tell you except experiment and see what works best for you. I don't think you will be able to get away with using less eggs if you are going to use coconut flour as the sole flour. Generally speaking with coconut flour you want the amount of flour and the liquid or wet item to be about the same in proportion so that things are moist but still light enough to rise. In this case, the pumpkin puree is the wet item and as you can see it is in the same proportion as the flour. You can try adding more but I am guessing it will make a too thin batter...but I am also a strong believer in adjusting recipes to suit one's personal tastes, so give it a try and let us know how they turn out. You might even try adding a little pumpkin extract. I am not a fan of canned pumpkin, so I am going to buy a small pumpkin since they are in season and make the puree myself. I am thinking that will be more flavorful? What do you think? Quote:

Oh I love the taste of coconut-- I just couldn't tell the difference between their oil to the one I purchase. I guess I'd have to compare prices--
Yes, I love fresh pumpkin-- actually bought 7 sugar pumpkins yesterday, going to roast them up and freeze it for later cookings. I figured you were going to say something along the word "experiment" -- |

Oh okay, got it. I buy there because I want the (gold Label)certified organic expeller oil when I can afford it, or the (Green Label) cold pressed oil as a second choice when I can't. I buy a few other organics from them as well and always try to buy on a sale, so it's worth it to me.
Hey that roasted pumpkin will make a great puree for muffins! Quote:

The gold label oil is expelled the old fashioned way with no machinery or processing. The green label is cold pressed with machinery but no further processing is done to it. This is according to their info on the website.

Found this recipe here:
Crispy Cauliflower Buffalo Wings NOTES I served my bites with a quick combination of Greek yogurt, lemon, and chives, but feel free to serve yours with your favorite dip. INGREDIENTS 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped into bite-size pieces 1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon melted butter or ghee 2/3 cup hot sauce DIRECTIONS Source: Calorie Count INFORMATION Category: Main Dishes Yield: 4 servings NUTRITION Calories per serving: 117 Preheat oven to 450ºF. In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, water, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk together until smooth. 1 Toss cauliflower into garbanzo batter, making sure to coat each piece completely, then place battered cauliflower on a lightly greased, nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through. 2 In the meantime, combine melted butter and hot sauce in a large bowl, regularly stirring. When cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and gently toss it in the hot sauce mixture. Place cauliflower back on the baking sheet and cook for an additional 25 minutes until it becomes crispy. Allow cauliflower to cool for 15 |

Sounds good Sweet Bliss, but would probably work better for this particular thread if the garbanzo bean flour is substituted with almond or coconut flour.
Half a cup of garbanzo bean flour is 53 grams of carbs, which is really high, especially for a low carb eating plan. As an example, most folks who eat Paleo/Primal i.e., high protein/low carbs, try to limit their daily intake of carbs to somewhere between 20 and 100. Most I know aim for around 30 or 40 as their daily max of carbs.

Found that recipe on Pinterest, went back to get link and could not find it...
Will look again. The original website had all kinds of good recipes. Geez I need a computer. My apologies for sloppy post. |

Oh no problem Sweet Bliss. I just wasn't sure if you understood that this is a high protein/low carb thread, not vegan.
If you need a low cal vegan alternative for that particular recipe you can just roast a whole cauliflower head in the oven. Rub it down with a little coconut or olive oil and add some herbs first, then roast. It is delicious!
