New Food Tried ~ New Recipe Tried (or so I thought) ~ Question about a product

I can say that my husband gets credit for finding this "pasta" at the store.  Ingredients are lentil, pea and cauliflower.

I used the vegetable pasta to make Zucchini Linguini with Walnuts, but used the veggie pasta, and added some homemade pesto.  The texture is different from regular pasta, but it was good for being made with vegetables.  The only downside on this "pasta" is that it does not re-heat very well.



I tried a random recipe I found online, to use that delicous rhubarb I picked (and my foot paid the price).  Anyway, the recipe called for any "berry" but I mixed some thawed strawberries with the rhubarb, and it turned out very good.  The recipe uses einkorn flour vs. all purpose white flour.

It's called Einkorn Berry Crisp from Farmhouse on the Boone.  After I wrote up this post, I saw that I had tagged the recipe once before, so I apparantly made it before ha ha!  Oh my.  I also used monkfruit vs coconut sugar the last time too.  Also, the recipe doesn't say old fashioned oats or quick oats, so I used old fashioned this time.  I will try quick oats next time (both are organic that I buy).

Tried a new recipe with swiss chard!  Roasted Swiss Chard with Feta, and it was delicous.  Definitely different, and I read the reviews and added a bell pepper and 2 cloves of garlic.  I will be making this again.  Recipe is from AllRecipes online.


Once again blogger is having issues.  Spell checker is not working, nor is the search mode, while working on a blog draft.  If you view your own blog, and use the search bar there, it works.

Does anyone have one of these (like this one)?  I'm looking for the best bang for the buck, to make my life easier the next 3-4 weeks.  It's either that, or hire someone to clean, and this is way less expensive.

I tried that pasta and my husband and I didn’t care for the texture.

Far Side of Fifty, I am always looking for new ways to use what we grow in the garden. Especially if I grew a lot of it.

Debby, it is very hard to find a pasta that is good, and not carb bad for us.

I have only tried the Palmini "pasta". I decided for me it would only work with spaghetti sauce. The mouth feel was fine but the taste was strange. I will give the one you mentioned a try and see if I like it better.
The rhubarb dessert looks very good.

Anne in the kitchen, I bought some "lasagna" palmimi, but have not tried it just yet. I was wondering how it tasted.

I have one of the wand scrubbers and it does make my cleaning easier.
