No shit, I fully agree. My method is to put them through a juicer, reduce the juice and add everything for the coulis, then take the dry pulp and seeds from the juicing process, dehydrate it, then put it through a coffee grinder to make a powder.
Although I could wash the pulp, separate the seeds, and make raspberry seed flour.
Dammit, I know it’s a stupid idea, but I have to know.
The combo of coleslaw & the honey mustard dressing has massive staying power. Like, it has become a regular (multiple x per week) part of my repertoire.
I can’t thank you enough for introducing me to Bolthouse Farms stuff.
We do wedge salads occasionally with Bolthouse blue cheese. Slab of iceberg lettuce, some diced tomato, a slice of Oscar Mayer precooked bacon, which I keep around for this and to add to roasted brussels sprouts, and some blue cheese crumbles. It’s yummy!
Okay, there is no way oatmeal is going to be photogenic. But, I have modified/come up with a baked oatmeal recipe that is pretty darn good. Even my hubby likes it and he hates baked oatmeal.
Orange Creamsicle Baked Protein Oatmeal
Wet ingredients:
2 eggs
1/4 to 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener (depending on how sweet you want it)
Zest from 1 large orange
½ cup orange juice (I used Cara Cara oranges, highly recommend)
1 1/2C milk of choice (I used fat-free Fairlife)
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
Dry ingredients:
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
3 Scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
Orange yogurt topping:
4 tablespoons vanilla greek yogurt (or sub softened cream cheese)
1-2 teaspoons fresh orange juice, thin to desired consistancy
½ teaspoon orange zest
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk all wet ingredients together. Add Dry ingredients and whisk. Pop in a 8x8 pan and bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes. I went with 35 minutes and it was slightly gooey in the middle and the protein powder settled to the bottom for a custard-like layer.
Mix all topping ingredients. Cool oatmeal for 10 minutes then spread on top. I may have doubled the topping last time. It was awesome.
New York strip ( air grilled, not the same), Inglehoffer horseradish cream, a salad mix w/ avocado and Gorgonzola dressing, and a La Croix Beach Plum drink. (can).
Thats how it came about. I don’t like gummy fat, and I’m always doing 3 or 4 of them. I used to stack them side by side, then one day this occurred to me!
Another thing that just occured to me while typing- season them up and slap a couple of thin lemon slices between each one. .
