what is it??This is in my fridge. I remember it was in a bag and the bag ripped so I moved it into a container. I forget what it is - I think wheat germ? But I feel like it is too flaky. Any guesses?
Serving others____________________________________________________
I like to bake. What I usually do is bake something, taste one or two, and bring it to work. Or I'll bake for friends & family. I was a healthy baker for a while and experimenter, but I wasn't too popular among the critics (Bill, family) - they wanted the real stuff. So now when I bake, I make the butter laden "good" stuff. This doesn't really go with my diet or eating values - should I go back to being a healthy baker? I started thinking about that today. For mother's day, I was going to make this egg casserole my mom makes for events. It is like swimming in fat (cheese, butter). I complain that my parents and the fockers bring fat laden junk, but then I serve it! So I was thinking instead maybe some multigrain french toast? w/ strawberries. Mmm. Then everyone is probably going to want to go out to breakfast after and get their omelettes and bacon. Hmm. What do you think?
Nick passed out while I ran...
I'm going to guess flax seed.
ReplyDeleteIf it is flaky it is likely wheat germ.
ReplyDeleteI say go with the french toast and strawberries, that sounds delish. Or maybe you could lighten-up the casserole?
ReplyDeleteFlax seed meal? Almond meal? or as you say, wheat germ.
ReplyDeleteI would say that it never hurts to "please the masses" besides, the occasional swim in fat can't be too detrimental to one's health...can it? On the other side, though, the multi grain french toast w/strawberries sounds really tasty and you won't have to worry about clogging arteries. Either way, I hope you have a very Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteI have NO idea! But I did want to say that Nick is getting so big and he's so cute! :) How fun!
ReplyDeleteI love to bake too and modify some but not all recipes. Moderation, moderation. If you rarely have that yummy egg casserole (I can think of a cream cheese blueberry french toast dream I love), make it and enjoy. Treats are nice - when they are just that.
ReplyDeleteIs it flaxseed?
It looks like wheat germ to me.
ReplyDeleteYour baby boy is just adorable!!!
Have a great first Mother's Day!! :)
I'd guess it's wheat or oat bran. You could totally make a game of this -- Nutrition Nerd Jeopardy ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm 100% for baking the best stuff for treats. Real butter, local milk & eggs, white whole wheat flour or wheat pastry flour, organic sugar, and high quality chocolate are my staples.
The French toast sounds like a great compromise, or maybe balance the casserole with a bigger side of fruit?
Almond something something. :o)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea! I only cook with the basics so something like that is totally foreign to me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think multigrain french toast sounds fantastic.
Have you thought about pancakes with wheatgerm/wholemeal flour/bananas? 100% maple syrup or agave syrup! There is this brunch place we go to when we visit my in laws that serves this omelette that has spinach, tomato, and goat cheese - SO yum! Just some ideas.
ReplyDeleteAlso, why can't I sleep like Nick?? :o)
Look how big he's getting! So cute!! Not sure what that is in your fridge...
ReplyDeleteOh god, how I love the way little babies sleep with their arms above their heads like that. I miss that!
ReplyDeletebahahaha nick looks adorable passed out! :) what a cutie pie
