I started a Facebook page to educate the public, not only in case they are having the mysterious symptoms which doctors refuse to accept as a maltodextrin intolerance, but also to teach what and how to eat. It's working. My Facebook page is called Maltodextrin Intolerance Awareness. Pretty much I am posting links to articles on maltodextrin that my RSS feed is showing.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446549810507929146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-26751646215125841052010-10-12T01:46:07.616-04:002010-10-12T01:46:07.616-04:00im more like Dan:) i dont like changing up my food...im more like Dan:) i dont like changing up my food that much.dirtyduckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383110271569591721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-14760965138487138152010-10-11T13:42:33.625-04:002010-10-11T13:42:33.625-04:00Elizabeth,

Mine is healthier, but I think just as delicious.<br /><br />I wasn't too sure about savory oatmeal either. However the first bite was enough to convince me I was wrong.

However I am glad I tried it because I loved it. Any time I can find a yummy way to add more veggies to breakfast I am thrilled, LOL.

I looked for organic ones at the farmers market yesterday and couldn't find any. =( I thought they would be gorgoeous, great minds think a like. LOL<br /><br />The funny thing about oil is that as much as I used to covet unfiltered extra virgin olive oil I not only don't miss oil now I don't like it when I do have it. Food with oil just tastes greasy to me now. Never thought I would say that! It is crazy how much my taste buds have changed. Honestly I never expected them to change as much as they have. I was a hard core foodie. <br /><br />Thanks sharing your birthday dish, the salad sounds beautiful. I would have loved to see it.

Mine was thin slices of red and white and variegated beet decorated with tiny herbs and all with a bit of lemon oil, which is a very interesting flavor (no tartness). I know you don't "do" oil when you can help it, but perhaps that might give you an inspirational thought . . . :-)<br /><br />CindyCindy Marschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902687329094127050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-17577561238300806052010-10-10T20:59:55.915-04:002010-10-10T20:59:55.915-04:00Jessica,

Dan and I were not always this healthy, just go back a year and look at my recipes and you will see that it is true. ;-)<br /><br />Convenience food tends to be a bit of trap.

(or freezer? or pantry?) I'm improving, though, and my homemade, whole-food soysages are better (and cheaper) than what I can buy. Alex eats more of that convenience stuff than I do, but we both do from time to time. Right now I'm just tickled to keep meat out of the house and keep him happy. I guess it's worse to know something is bad and eat it anyway. <br /><br />The beet dish looks good; I've only ever had pickled beets.

This was total comfort food in a bowl.<br /><br />It is odd that most omnivores think vegetarians and vegans must be healthy but not so much. I could tell you stories of the vegetarian I used to work with who was obviously the most unhealthy person in the department. It was very sad and caused me to think twice about vegetarianism as a possible lifestyle until I learned how to go about it and be healthy.<br /><br />hope you are enjoying your weekend,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-76306362643872766352010-10-10T16:28:14.528-04:002010-10-10T16:28:14.528-04:00I've never made a savory oatmeal.

Now I am curious what that product ingredient list looks like though, LOL.<br /><br />I like traditional soy food, but the processed soy protein stuff scares the heck out of me which I am sure you guessed by now. It is nice knowing the food I make is not a science project. When did we stop eating "food" in this country?<br /><br />I made a rule a couple years ago that if I didn't know what an ingredient was I wouldn't buy the product. Having two degrees in finance means my science knowledge is a bit lacking. My rule cut out most processed food and that is a good thing from everything I have read since I made that rule.<br /><br />hope you are having a good weekend,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-35025585384919031002010-10-10T15:59:56.290-04:002010-10-10T15:59:56.290-04:00Aimee,

Love what you wrote about the ingredient list (can I guess what it is? vegan bologna slices? first thing that came to my mind...not that it makes me want to eat it!). Isn't it great knowing that most of what you consume comes from plants and whole foods and from scratch so we don't have to rely on those products? That's what I love the most about cutting out sugar and soy...it pretty much eliminates most of my weird scientific sounding choices : )stephanieleahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427676919832135865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-22906825864081161682010-10-10T14:45:05.181-04:002010-10-10T14:45:05.181-04:00Your savory oatmeal looks wonderful.
