Note to WFPB folks: don't use 100% emmer wheat flour to make tortillas/chapatis unless you're okay with using oil to prevent it from sticking. We normally eat WFPB but I had to use some coconut oil (the only type we have lying around) on my hands and on the ball itself to prevent it from sticking even to ziploc(!).
Hopefully a blend is okay (I guess I'll find out soon!).
Made vegan chili from the Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook by Rainbow Plant Life (Nisha Vora)! Omitted the oil and added spinach (cooked it along with the mushrooms and bell pepper so that most of the water was cooked off).

Just about recovering. It was almost 2 hours. There is no sign of infection. A little concerning about macular degeneration, but he said my eye health had not deteriorated since I was last seen there in 2015. They say it's the food which is keeping that stable. There is no point in my taking the supplements as I'm getting way more lutein and Xeaxanthin in my food. My diet changed in 2016.
I am booked to go back in 6 months.
So I am calming down.
And YAY for a #WFPB diet @wfpb
I have been making this vegan cheese/ cheese sauce substitute for years and it's one of our favourites. My tweaks:
Sub sunflower seeds for cashews
Add ½ cup nutritional yeast (+ more liquid)
A quick photo post of the air dried sharp cashew 'cheese' (from Miyoko's recipe) after 4 days of drying. I will next wrap it in greaseproof paper and refrigerate for as long as we can stand to leave it. Or I could just salt the outside lightly again and leave for another few days to deepen in flavour. It's already so good! I think I'll leave it a couple more days, as we already have some of the turmeric black pepper one to eat.
Good morning all!
How strong are you feeling today?
Increasing Muscle Strength and Function in Older Adults with Cocoa Powder
As an older adult (I'm 74), I found this video really interesting and thought of the conversation with Sharon the other day about our shared concern for maintaining muscle strength.
This video (or you can read the transcript) is worth watching:
Not much to the recipe, honestly: Mix everything together with enough water to make standard flour tortilla dough (add water slowly as you mix - it may absorb less or more than all whole wheat tortillas) and cook as normal. Makes 8.
I was at a conference recently and ended up discussing vegan/WFPB food. The other person mentioned that they make oat milk using cooked oats and...it actually works! As a bonus, it's truly WFPB because no straining is required.
Cook oats
Blend with extra water (and optionally salt) to achieve desired thickness of milk
It comes out silky smooth. Just beware because oats expand a lot while cooking!
