But because it is so finely milled it causes the blood sugar to rise rapidly even when it is whole wheat. Since we are trying to keep our blood glucose under control flour is on our "rarely consume" list. When we do have it we try to keep the portions down and consume it with lots of low GI foods to reduce the blood sugar impact. Wheat berries don't have a high GI so I am okay with consuming those. What is your opinion?<br /><br />Vital wheat gluten, while also finely milled, doesn't have the same blood sugar impact of flour. Since it is also processed I try to use it sparingly. Gluten is so high in protein I don't want to eliminate it all together. I think we eat seitan about once a week. I think many vegans eat gluten with most meals like omnis eat meat. In my opinion too much of any single item isn't a good idea. What are your thoughts on this issue? I would love to know. <br /><br />Thanks for the nice compliment on our dinner. :-)<br /><br />talk to you later,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-13033637283426251182010-03-27T00:40:54.302-04:002010-03-27T00:40:54.302-04:00I am switching out of almost all wheat foods, alth...I am switching out of almost all wheat foods, although I am struggling with vital wheat gluten...

That has become my new go to nut cheese since it is so quick and easy. Since both you and I like the almond feta I will see if I can make that recipe quicker. I will try to remember that when I need more nut cheese.<br /><br />talk to you later,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-50404616753601824332010-03-26T23:36:35.348-04:002010-03-26T23:36:35.348-04:00This looks and sounds so yummy...

We still eat pasta every once in a while, just not as often as I would like (every night). ;-)<br /><br />The nut cheese works really well in this dish. I forgot that you were also an artichoke girl. I think you will really like this sauce.<br /><br />talk to you later,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-9830718590102567022010-03-26T23:19:44.023-04:002010-03-26T23:19:44.023-04:00Michelle,
