Christina – I do urge you to get some dried black figs at Planet Organic next time you are there. They are great in here and in your hot cereal for breakfast too. I also used squeezed fresh oranges, I think I may alter the recipe – thanks for that. I would never recommend frozen or packaged orange juice.

Actually it’s not wheat – only wheat is wheat. Spelt is a GRAIN, and so is wheat. But spelt is not wheat. Brown rice is a grain, so is kamut, so is barley, rye and triticale. Read this for more information:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_grain

Oh you can see where we stopped in Texas on our 17,000 mile 5.5 month trip through the US and Canada here: http://www.youngsnowbirds.com/places-visited/ - Engaged!
Jon, most people agree that Austin isn’t really Texas. It isn’t at all like the rest of the state and I can attest to that, having been to Austin and around it a bit. Not many people in Austin speak “Texan” with little or no accent. Hit southern Texas around Corpus Christi and regions around it and you’re in real cattle country, full on Texas towns.Anyway, congrats, she’s gorgeous!

well you can’t really, that sorta defeats the purpose of using whole grains, not pre-processed flour. You won’t get the same fluffy pancakes unless you go buy some whole spelt. Try it, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results. - Recipe: Super Green St. Patricks Day Soup
Yes the whole leek, green and white parts. Spinach – hmm, that’s interesting – one bunch I’d say. Can’t remember now. You can’t really do it wrong.

If there is anyone out there who doesn’t like to cook or was intimidated by recipes, I encourage you to try this one. Not only is it simple, tasty but MINIMAL mess! I don’t drink Orange Juice but I did have oranges so I squeezed those and I too used walnuts. No figs on hand because I’ve never eaten one so I omitted those. Excellant!

Um, it was ME who squeezed the oranges.
yum yum that looks delicious… I always love to find new vegan recipes, thanks for the post. And it looks like it will fill you up but not make you fat too.
