Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Last time I checked, this was a fat free vegan recipe list. For someone who complains about people not trimming their posts, you certainly do like spamming the list about your blog. Now to make my post on-topic, I have been enjoying the Gee Whiz spread from the Uncheese Cookbook. I reduced the tahini to a mere teaspoon, but I think perhaps it could be left out entirely. 1 can navy beans, drained & rinsed 1/2 cup roasted red pepper (I leave this out and add a tsp of smoked paprika) 6-8 tablespoons nutritional yeast 3 tablespoons lemon juice 2-3 tablespoon tahini (optional?) 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder Toss all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and whiz until the mixture is smoother than Smoove B. on a Saturday night. Spoon the mixture into a container and chill before serving, to give the flavors a chance to hang out and get to know one another. I don't know what goes on in there but I do know it is one delicious spread. I enjoyed this in fat free pita bread or stuffed into celery stalks. cheers, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I've kept the spread in the refrigerator for several days, I think it would probably last for a week. It just doesn't last long in my household! Smoove B. is a character from The Onion (a weekly satire paper). :-] Lisa JD Schaefer wrote: > Lisa > How long would this last in the 'fridge? > Thanks > JD > PS BTW That Smooth Move reference wasn't related to the Smooth Move > laxative tea, would it?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Here's a link to what is, as many of you will know, a great blog. The post '15 Reasons to Avoid Vegetable Oils' is an excellent one. Please read if you care about your health as well as the animals.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I have to say that I don't agree with the blogger, a totally fat-free or very low-fat diet isn't a cure for all illnesses as it might seem from the reason listed. Our bodies need a certain amount of fats (even if most people tend to eat too much fats and the wrong kinds of fats), there are some essential fatty acids you can't get from anything else than fats, there are fatty soluble vitamins and fat is a good energy source that our bodies can store. The myelin in our brains is made of 80% lipids, a kind of fat, here's a link to the brain and fats: http://www.fi.edu/learn/brain/fats.html /Helga On 2010-03-21 14:05, Pat wrote: > > Here's a link to what is, as many of you will know, a great blog.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I hate to hear things like this. If I can use oil in my salad dressing, I doubt if i would eat much salad.

Whoops. I don't see that the blogger said 'cure for all illnesses'. What he wrote about, and substantiated by referencing appropriate studies, was preventing the illnesses in the first place. . I am interested in the work of Doctors Esselstyne, McDougall, Fuhrman, Barnard, Ornish and others who have, individually and collectively, taken this very seriously indeed. Yes, our bodies do need some fat. The argument was against vegetable oils as *added* fat in the cooking/food preparation process - you know? To quote from the link you gave us re fats and the brain: " Food sources of omega-3 ALA include flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, sea vegetables, and green leafy vegetables. . . . " Food sources of omega-6 LA include expeller cold-pressed sunflower, safflower, corn, and sesame oils. " There would seem to be no reason at all why one could not have a *low*-fat diet and still fulfill omega-3 needs from the items listed and omega-6 needs from the food seeds listed, all without recourse to the processed oils. Indeed, my recollection of the physicians listed above is that they advocate exactly that.
