I tried a new apple oatmeal breakfast dish to change up breakfast. It's called Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal, and if you have canned applesauce from last year you need to eat up, this recipe is for you. I used one apple from our trees as well. The recipe is online with "The Real Food Dietitians" and honestly, I have no idea how I found it. It has 1/4 cup maple syrup/honey in it, but in moderation, it did not bother my husband's sugar levels.
I made these banana muffins a second time. I noticed the recipe does not call for salt, but calls for baking powder. I added 1/4 tsp. salt this time. They contain organic quick steel cut oats and Einkorn flour, and no sugar/sweeteners.
Homemade Granola. I think I used every measuring cup and spoon I own ha ha!
I used one of our apples to make a mayo free slaw salad. It was pretty good too. Simply juice from a lemon, some olive oil and salt. I added chives from the herb garden. It was 1/4th of a cabbage, one carrot, one apple, and some chives from the herb garden.
I was prepared to whip up a mayo free dressing, if needed, but we like it this way. Just something different to try, and healthy.
Meals were adjusted again, off the meal plan. I had some barley that needed used up, so I ended up making a vegetable barley soup. My husband was still not feeling well. I roasted a rutabaga and added it to the soup.
I went out to pick jalapenos for our next meal this week, and it was slim pickin's. Not much. I was hoping for a round of "fire powder to end the season, but there is not much out there.
We are to have a few cooler days, but we warm back up to the 80's soon, so I'm am hopeful, but I guess we'll see. I did not check the bell peppers, but will today unless it's raining.
Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words regarding my husband being sick. He came home with a runny nose. I brewed up a few cups of hot yarrow tea, and he was feeling much better this morning.
