After a great morning giving out samples w @sugardetoxme I have pesto on the brain! What's your favorite way to pesto?!
-
katewilson Maybe I'm traditional but I love basil pesto.
-
cheesegrotto Love me some good Parmesan with parsley and basil
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Arugula and almonds, with garlic!
Buckwheat banana pancakes
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Using buckwheat flour - does that change the texture?
-
gingerandchorizo Just slightly, but the combo of the nutty flavor of the flour plus the sweetness of mashed banana makes the pancakes really tasty! My daughter absolutely loves it! If children give their thumbs up,...

DietID_TeamDietitians Ah great #kitchentip!
Afternoon slump got you down? You clearly need a Chocolate Smoothie Shake.

Yummy, vegan, nutritious milkshake recipe is on my blog.

DietID_TeamDietitians Oats in a smoothie?
-
annefood @Rachna oh yeah for sure!!! Great to give it a little more substance. Flavor works really well with chocolate or autumn smoothies with pumpkin. #kitchentips

darkchocolatepeanutbutter I just started putting oats in my smoothie and surprisingly I don't taste them and they keep me satiated.
Sobeys Is Selling Avocado Halves, The Internet Is Confused
huffingtonpost.ca
A Canadian grocery store selling packaged avocado halves is causing a stir on the web... 🤔🙈
I'm struggling to picture a scenario where these would be a necessity...

lauren Hmmm now this doesn't make much sense...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Like the peeled oranges at whole foods!!The rationale for the Oranges was to solve for accessibility issues - people who are handicapped can't easily peel oranges, and presumably can't cut and...
-
Gwendolyn But unlike with the oranges, this packaging looks difficult! If I had limited mobility with my hands I'm not sure this packaging option would help.
How accurate is your oven temperature?
unconventionalbaker.com
Did you know that temperatures in many ovens can fluctuate wildly? If you're not baking a fancy treat, it may not matter much. But in baking desserts, breads, etc., it can sometimes be a deal break...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Such a good tip. I don't think my ovens have ever been right :( any tips on placement within the oven? I find that things bake wildly different on different shelves

mirasingh Maybe this is why my baking is always a crapshoot!
Ricotta Pancakes & Strawberries
Fluffy ricotta pancakes with fresh strawberries and berry-vanilla sauce.. I'm taking advantage of all the strawberries coming in from Florida, but I so look forward to the locally grown ones from t...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Soooo yummy! Yes when local strawberries come to the market, I like to buy a bunch and freeze them for dreary winter days that just need some sweetness :) #kitchentips
-
reneedenise @Rachana I like that idea! :) I'd need to figure out how to keep the freezer scent out of my food if it's stored for more than a short time.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Ahh good point! I've double-bagged before. Not sure that works super well because those berries don't last very long- I have very little willpower 😍
Spaghetti Squash!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians I love spaghetti squash! Using as a pasta replacement is so easy, and you can't taste the difference #kitchentips
-
lauren Did you roast it? I've only boiled spaghetti squash (mostly because of a non-working oven, but that's been fixed)
-
brittanymbarton my go-to pasta replacer! so easy to roast in the oven at 350 for about 45 mins @lauren
Use a combo of rice and chickpea flours for a gluten-free crispy crust when panfrying!

Last night I tried this awesome David Tanis recipe for Spicy Fried Shrimp that calls for a coating of rice and chickpea flours and it works great! (Note: I didn't fully submerge the shrimp in oil a...
-
gingerandchorizo Looks delicious! I love using a mixture of chickpea flour and potato starch to make batter for fritter or tempura, also just use half deep-fry half pan-fry method in order to use less oil, it...
-
annefood Thanks @gingerandchorizo ! Yes I hate deep frying and this method worked great!

MargaretG Love this!! Thanks!!!
The mighty coriander seed helps keep blood sugar low - just tried it in my veggie bowl!
Add some coriander seeds to your sauté pan to temper them, and toss in veggies for a deeply flavorful meal. Hope this means I won't hit the 3pm sugar crash :) #nutrition #kitchentips
