copyright jennifer yu 2004 2023 all rights reserved no photos or content may be reproduced without prior written consent doing the work june 9th 2022 recipe baked oats time is doing strange things because of my intense focus on my health diet and exercise of late i feel as if all the moods of spring have been smashed into the past few weeks as we stare an approaching heat wave in the face it s hard not to reminisce about the late may snow just two weeks ago and then there is the delirium of morel season getting buzzed by countless hummingbirds bright green new growth popping up at every turn and all of the baby animals we catch glimpses of in the woods it s dizzyingly wonderful emerging sunshine melts snow off our weather station brilliant crimson columbine in bloom friends gave us baby asparagus seedlings from feral seeds never certain if the morels will come up but always jubilant to see them as with any first batch of morels i m tempted to reserve some for the express purpose of frying and shoving them in my pie hole but i ve worked hard to wean myself off of sugary fried fatty and refined carb foods the last three months so much so that many of these foods have lost some of their once irresistible appeal i made a morel bourbon cream sauce for jeremy to enjoy on steak his reward for finding the first morel of the season and reserved a dozen morels to fry instead of the usual flour based breading i opted for fine cornmeal as a healthier whole grain alternative they were good but i stopped after a few when that initial fried deliciousness gave way to mindless consumption cornmeal coated fried morels some folks have asked what i ve been eating since i learned i am diabetic that s a hard question to answer it was all pretty overwhelming at the start as i had to educate myself on type 2 diabetes blood sugar levels and how they are affected by different foods and exercise nutrient requirements and the best way for me to lose weight i now have a decent set of recipes in my quiver to get me through a good month of meals and have begun to tinker with new recipes that don t require much effort and are hugely convenient for breakfast or a snack baked oats with huckleberries i came across baked oats in my search for healthier snacks which led me to i am a food blog s baked oats apparently this recipe was all the rage on tiktok a million years ago and i was completely unaware because social media is a garbage hole time suck that i am treating like added sugar unnecessary and not good for me the claim is that this is like having cake for breakfast but healthy because it is made from rolled oats or oat flour i made it healthier by omitting the sugar using almond milk opting for add ins like fruit instead of cookies or candy or cream cheese and reducing the serving size i really like that it is highly customizable the base recipe almond milk vanilla extract rolled oats eggs bananas salt baking powder cinnamon oil for greasing the vessels if using rolled oats don t use steel cut oats a high speed blender is needed to get the batter to a smooth consistency if you don t have a high speed blender you can use the equivalent weight not volume of oat flour and mix everything together with a food processor or hand mixer just be sure to mash the heck out of those bananas and if you have no issues adding sweetener to your baked oats you can use sugar honey maple syrup or other substitutes in the appropriate amounts since some are not 1 1 sugar replacements i don t have any experience with sugar replacements like stevia or monkfruit sugar other than unknowingly buying an iced tea that was sweetened with stevia and pouring it out after one sip it was disgusting not sure if you want to omit the sugar i think if you can enjoy unflavored oatmeal with just added fruit and no other sweeteners you will be fine with this the banana does contribute some sugar to the base recipe into the blender it goes a smooth batter jump for more butter posted in baking brekkie chocolate eggs fruit gluten free grains health recipes sweet 15 nibbles trials goals and bucket lists may 20th 2022 recipe green chile chicken enchiladas peony tulips for kris on may 1 while it might seem quiet around here it has been anything but three months ago i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and began medication that sent my gi system on a 6 week roller coaster ride i changed my diet increased my exercise and researched how to get my health and blood sugar under control there were lots of bonks while navigating energy needs with more intense workouts and gi distress from the meds but after weaning myself off of certain foods the carbs i do love them consulting a nutritionist who specializes in diabetes and converting some of my favorite recipes to healthier versions i am meeting my health goals and feeling so much better last year mother s day may 2021 last week may 2022 in january 2022 i began planning a trip for my parents that should have happened in 2020 when my dad turned 80 yosemite national park was on my parents bucket list jeremy and i have camped hiked backpacked ski toured and photographed in yosemite over the past 30 years we knew enough to find a comfortable window for my parents to see the main sights without too much risk of snow or wildfires outside of the insanely crowded peak season and because i had no way of knowing what the pandemic would be doing in may i booked stand alone luxury lodging with en suite dining space for take out meals mother s day on the lovely deck of our cabin kicking off happy hour with mother s day champagne upper yosemite falls and the merced river mom and dad at tunnel view mom and dad enjoyed exploring yosemite valley taking in waterfalls full of spring runoff bridalveil horsetail ribbon upper and lower yosemite the giant sequoias the great granite monoliths of el capitan and half dome the dogwood blossoms and learning about the geologic history of the region but the second half of the trip was what dad was looking forward to the most wine country jeremy tasted wines with my dad and i was the designated driver all of the tastings were outdoors or open to the outdoors and all of our meals were either outside or carry out ultimately the whole adventure was a success because my parents were happy wine tasting at joseph phelps winery the stunning entrance at joseph phelps in the opus one courtyard the garden outside our cottage in st helena i made sure to have healthy snacks on hand ordered wisely at restaurants and got out for hikes or trail runs most days but it did involve a great deal of effort and planning to pull it all off and cater to my parents wishes while making sure the itinerary never went sideways it was exhausting and i could not have done it without jeremy s support logistical moral and otherwise it s good to be home with the pups getting back to my exercise routine living a simpler life and eating my own food again these two have no idea how much we missed them knowing how to cook is probably the most important skill i bring to my dietary pivot it gives me the ability to turn a generally unhealthy dish into something more nutritious but still tasty and satisfying sometimes i make the indulgent recipe for jeremy and create a diabetic friendly mini version with substitutions for myself because portion control other times we both eat the same healthier adaptation and there are days when we eat completely different meals it s all fine we have been loving these green chile chicken enchiladas since last year i m happy to report that it is still a meal i eat simply with less cheese chicken and oil in a smaller portion the original recipe uses flour tortillas which jeremy can vouch for because i ran out of corn tortillas once but we both prefer the taste of corn tortillas which are better for me than the refined carbohydrates in a traditional flour tortilla there are many shortcuts you can take to make this an easy weeknight meal like shredding the meat from a rotisserie chicken i buy an organic rotisserie chicken and use the meat for various soups salads sandwiches nachos and then use the carcass to make broth fresh or jarred salsa verde works great here and while i draw from my stash of roasted green chiles from my freezer feel free to use canned green chiles cheese cilantro chicken salsa verde onions corn tortillas green chiles oregano garlic cumin salt pepper not pictured canola oil add oregano cumin and garlic to the sautéed onions stir in the green chiles mix the cilantro chicken half the cheese and some of the salsa into the filling jump for more butter posted in baking cheese dairy dinner fruit gluten free health lunch meat mexican mushrooms recipes savory spices vegetables 12 nibbles solving mysteries march 17th 2022 recipe chow mein how can so much time have passed so quickly jeremy and i puzzled over this on our 25th wedding anniversary earlier this month we celebrated with a low key home cooked meal my parents congratulated us the pups were business as usual the past several weeks have been busy and roller coaster y and that s without considering the insanity of the world i switched to a new primary care physician who helped me untangle some nuisance ailments i ve changed my diet and exercise patterns to fast track myself to a healthier me in the last month it s a lot of work but i m here for it chinese new year s eve dinner potstickers mochi rice stem and leaf mandarin oranges cellophane noodles soup lucky ten vegetables chinese new year breakfast sweet red bean rice balls sesame balls oranges steamed barbecue pork buns moon cakes peanuts neva and yuki couldn t be happier a tired dog is a good dog the powder it is fun yuki test drives her warm coat on a frigid day at the end of last year i finally tackled my decades long mystery of how to make chow mein i know there are many interpretations of chow mein out there because i have ordered them at various restaurants throughout my adult years the soft barely seasoned noodles or crunchy pre fried crisps from a bag tossed with gloppy sauce were not what i had in mind i wanted that plate piled high with savory thin noodles lightly adorned with slivers of green onion and stray bean sprouts trundling past on a dim sum cart dark soy sauce light soy sauce chow mein hong kong style noodles turns out chow mein is rather simple to make once you procure the right noodles and look chow mein literally translates to fried noodles so it could be and sometimes is any noodle that is stir fried deep fried or pan fried if you are like me you ve scrutinized the dozens of packaged fresh noodles in the refrigerated section of the asian market scanning for recognizable english words on the labels while remaining skeptical of the original translator s qualifications and wound up making your best guess a little time spent on the internets guided me to the right noodles in this case hong kong style or chow mein is what you seek but take care because i ve seen chow mein labels on all manner of noodles we want thin egg noodles thin like angel hair pasta you can also purchase them dried but i have yet to try those and while you are at the asian market to get your hong kong style noodles you might as well pick up a bottle of dark soy sauce and a bottle of light soy sauce dark soy sauce is thicker with more soy flavor and deep caramel color light soy sauce is thinner and closer to regular soy sauce does combining light and dark soy sauce equal regular soy sauce no if you had to sub regular soy sauce for light soy sauce okay but the dark soy sauce is what gives the noodles that special umaminess sesame oil light soy sauce dark soy sauce vegetable oil mung bean sprouts chow mein
