Re: almond flour or coconut flour?

[Guest guest]

Had to chime in here with my experience:

Everyone always said that nut flours were easier than coconut flour and to stay

far away from coconut products in early SCD. Well I never did well on the nut

flours, tried almond (blanched), pecan, hazelnut, tried soaking them first

(helped a bit) tried butters, I always had problems eating baked goods made from

them. Finally I just decided to give coconut flour a try and strangely enough I

can tolerate it really well. I can eat 2, 3 muffins a day with coconut flour. So

I would say try the nut flours first but if they don't work out, it's worth it

to try coconut flour. For me, nuts are way more advanced food than coconut.

Re: Re: almond flour or coconut flour?

We also have a fried chicken patty that is yummy. It is just cooked chicken (any kind, white or dark), cooked peas or green beans, garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice whirred in a food processor until you form a ball with it. Take the ball and make a patty and fry them in olive oil on both sides, sprinkle with a little more salt to taste and delicious!! My kids gobble them up. When I make them I don't even make a vegetable since they are full of vegetables so my kids feel like it is a special thing to eat a whole meal with no veggies in sight!! We call them kabobs because they remind us of the meat kabobs that DH's Pakistani family make. Same size, shape and cooking method.

That sounds good.

I've been sauteeing up some onions and garlic, and then

adding lots of fresh herbs - chives and basil and parsley,

and fresh ginger and an egg to group chicken meat and

frying it up.

I make salmon patties sometimes similar to the way you

make the chicken patties. Fresh salmon, with carrots and

onions and egg and a little water and plenty of herbs and

some almond meal and food process it until it is very

smooth and then fry it up that way. You can also add

cooked zucchini to it.

I am fully aware of how much whey protein is being pushed (hyped). I spent

considerable time a few years ago corresponding by snail mail with the HIV and

little that I know and that is that through the years, the protein in whey has

always been considered to be an inferior protein for human consumption. Years

ago, we knew it contained the more antigenic proteins in the milk and we also

knew that Depts of Agriculture were promoting that whey (a waste product from

cheese manufacture) be turned into a moneymaking commodity.

More recently, whey protein hypers claim that whey protein contains a factor

that has to do with insulin but I have forgotten the details except to read in

literature that these very factors being hyped are, in fact, having a negative

effect on sick people.

So my answer to you is that I do not like it.

I have had most success with the recipes in the cookbook Cooking with Coconut

Flour by Bruce Fife. I made the basic Honey muffins (use baking soda instead of

baking powder) and the coconut milk pancakes. Both turn out quite fluffy and

moist but not wet. I'll send you the muffin recipe by email.
