Way to go on getting rid of the google ads.

I was just putting together a “week night” cookbook for myself because for the life of me I can’t seem to think outside the box lately. How many days in a week can one eat salmon patties anyway? This sounds great for tonight and I’ll be sure to add it to my book Thanks for the idea!

I have used Food for Life Sprouted Corn Tortillas. The ingredient list on my package is: organic sprouted corn, filtered water, sea salt, lime. We like them and they hold up really nicely in chicken enchiladas. Before I knew about sprouted tortillas, we used the “nasty” ones you find in the grocery store. They seemed to always turn to “mush”.

Sounds delish! We love guacamole but can only find avocados from Mexico this time of year and I don’t know if we should “trust” them.

I was just about to mention the Food for Life sprouted corn tortillas, but I see someone else already mentioned those! For me, these are fantastic because I’m pretty sure I’ll never make those at home. Everyone in my family loves them, and they are sprouted and organic, so they have to be better than most other brands. I eat them seldom enough also, that I am sure any bad effects they might have would be pretty minimal (and I can’t imagine they would have anything bad in them as simple as their ingredients are). The ones I buy don’t have soybeans. Although some of the Ezekiel bread we buy does, but again, they are sprouted.
But I understand about your children not liking something. There are plenty of things I and my husband like that my son still doesn’t want to eat. But I’m thankful because he eats a lot of things many other kids won’t eat.

I have noticed that almost no one on any of the food web sites I have been to has really ever mentioned the Ezekiel breads at all. I think they are fine to consume, but we don’t eat a lot of bread in our house anyway. I’m guessing they don’t get a lot of mention because of the soybeans. But I would think that with all the different grains in those breads, soybeans wouldn’t be that numerous in quantity as compared to everything else. But who knows?

Sprouting the grain neutralizes a large portion of the phytic acid in them, so wouldn’t it do the same in the soybeans? I have never read anything about that though, only that it should be fermented.

I know that soy blocks nutrient absorption, and that’s pretty much why I avoid it 99% of the time. We eat the Ezekiel bread because it’s a healthy alternative to the other breads on the market. Some Ezekiel breads don’t have soy at all, and the corn tortillas we buy contain no soy (thankfully). I’m also a big fan of Silver Hills sprouted grain breads which are mostly organic, contain a variety of sprouted grains, and very few other ingredients. Unfortunately, the Silver Hills bread is not always available where I live (Boise), and so I’m still looking out for other good brands. I really should try making my own bread, that’s something I’ve never done. But I’m still doing a lot of learning about traditional foods, so I’ll get there someday. I do use sprouted flour though and I made about six loaves of banana and cranberry orange bread during the holidays. That’s a little simpler, though – I hear, than making just regular bread.
