In reply to Jennifer. Hi Jennifer! The slaw would be nice without the seeds, too. If you can do nuts, chopped toasted almonds would be a nice accent. They'll soften up with time, so I'd keep them on the side until serving.

Anxious to try healthy slaw recipe, but
Have to go easy on seeds. What other crunchy ingredients would you recommend? Made your homemade instant oatmeal and applesauce yesterday! Love your cookbook, too!

Hi. We go camping for days sometimes and are looking for healthy alternatives to many of the camping foods. Fruit,boiled eggs, nuts, some veggies are things we have thought of….but have you thought of putting together a camping menu? Even one that would require us to prep at home but be able to keep in a cooler for a few days would help.

Kate,
I have been looking at recipes for hand pies and empanadas, but have not made any except for some little empanadas years ago that were dry and not tasty. Right now I have been looking at a recipe for Guyanese Gojas (Fried Coconut Turnovers). The problem with the recipe is that it calls for sweetened shredded coconut. I would like to replace the traditional grocery store coconut version with something free of chemicals, and have been looking at recipes for a DIY version and later will go to the natural food stores and see what is there.
Bob’s Red Mill has a dried unsweetened shredded coconut that could possibly be sweetened, and I will be looking in the freezers for a fresher shredded coconut.
Your recipes always look good and if you like these ideas I am sure you would come up with some good ones!
I broke the spindle on my old Cuisinart while trying to shred fresh coconut for pie, so be careful if trying anything like that!
