I have spent the last three days looking for a cool recipe for a nut-filled sweet treat that I had seen SOMEWHERE! What a frustration. I am thinking that once I get the hang of mixing and matching veges, grains, nuts, and beans, I will be OK. Until then, I still need a recipe to guide me.
Take the sweet treat recipe. It was a combination of pepitas, walnuts, maybe almonds or cashews (in reality, probably does not matter which nuts one uses), held together with maple syrup and coconut oil, baked at XXX for XXX. See? This is what I mean. Phil is starting to get used to not having cookies and candy around, but I really give him something to satisfy his sweet tooth (not to mention mine).
So...I thought I would start making a note of the recipes I see and use. Pinterest seems to be a good place to store recipes and ideas, but when I find them in a book, that is another story. Take today for instance. I thought I would make split pea soup and focaccia bread for dinner. I had to hit the last three cookbooks and Pinterest until I found it. Thankfully, I did. I still have not found the nut treat recipe. :-/
I found it in Forks Over Knives, the book. Page 91. I will not add it to my Fridge, Garden and Grocery Store blog until I know it is a keeper. So far, it is tasting pretty good. Stay tuned. Serving it tonight with focaccia and will probably have it tomorrow again. I work and hate to come home late and starving and still have to drum up dinner.
