Update on Justice

I'm not sure how many people are still reading Justice, but since I had said that the new chapter would be published long before now and it obviously hasn't been, I thought I ought to give you some idea of when to expect it. It came back from the betas, but needed some fixing and while I was doing that I got caught in the jaws of a hellish week,

I use soy creamer in my coffee and almond milk for any other milk needs. But when I have a peppermint mocha at Starbucks I have no choice about having cow milk. I hate soy milk, although I don't mind the creamer.

Have you ever tried chcolate quinoa cake? http://www.barefeetinthekitchen.com/2013/08/unforgettable-chocolate-quinoa-cake-recipe.html I made it and it was really awesome. Everyone loved it. I used real milk but I bet this recipe would work just fine with almond, soy, or coconut milk. I use alternative milks in my recipes all the time and it doesnt' make a difference. When I made this cake, I made it without frosting. It didn't really need it.You don't have to use butter, either. Any kind of oil will do. I frequently substitute oil for butter in recipes that call for melted butter. I'm not going to do that extra step of melting butter.

Here's another recipe. This is a super-fast English muffin. I make them in the microwave all the time: http://scdfoodie.com/grain-free-english-muffin-scdpaleogapsprimal/ I don't add the coconut flour because I don't have any. I use two tablespoons of golden ground flax meal. The dark flax meal doesn't taste as good. I've also tried this recipe with potato flour. They're really tasty!

Oh wow, I've never baked anything with quinoa before! (Shame on me) But that cake looks delicious, I definitely have to try it!
And the English muffin as well. That sounds like a very easy, fast recipe. So just the right thing for me xD
I often use oil as a substitute for butter, too. It doesn't really make a difference in taste. Except when you use olive oil, that can sometimes taste a bit strange xD
Thanks for sharing these tasty recipes! :)

Well, I had never baked anything with quinoa before, either, so don't feel bad. In fact, it had never occurred to me that one could bake with quinoa. This recipe was a total revelation. Since then I have also used cooked quinoa to adapt the microwave English muffin recipe, too.

Yes, by all means start with the English muffin one. It's so easy and fast and you'll have your result- good or bad-- in five minutes or less. I bought a couple of el cheapo ramekins from the dollar store because I didn't have any the right size. I think the recipe says that if the center of your muffin is still a bit wet after the allotted microwaving time, just put it back in for another 30 seconds. That's what I do. Maybe my microwave isn't very strong.

The chocolate quinoa cake was a bit more involved. I had to mix it up in batches because my food processor is a little mini Braun one and it wasn't big enough. I strongly recommend cooking the hell out of the quinoa. I personally don't like eating mushy overcooked quinoa just as quinoa, but the mushier it is the better for this cake. I found that my cake developed a hard gritty crust on the bottom because I hadn't cooked the quinoa thoroughly. This didn't stop the cake from being a hit, though!
