Hi,

Great article.

I have a few suggestions for other things you might enjoy:

1. http://www.myyogaonline.com will give you two free weeks of streaming yoga videos (really fantastic fare by world-renowned yogis) if you ask them on their contact us page. If you like what you see, I think they have a special running for $69.95 for a year’s worth of these programs.

2. If you haven’t read it already, I highly recommend the book: YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE.

3. For loads of free help with all sorts of things, you can access: http://holisticdivorcecounseling.com. It’s 100% free and, despite the name, for all issues, not just the cosmic hazing of divorce.

Thank you for so eloquently and persuasively helping other people get psyched to cook more and treat themselves well---and, save money in the process.

Hi,
Can I use arrowroot powder in lieu of the cornstarch?
Thanks,

Hi Alex, Hi Paul,

I think one of each, a five of hearts design and a Belgian style waffle maker would be ideal; however, if you don’t want to spring for two, I’d go with the five of hearts thinner waffler.
I make a batch of waffles, let them cool on a rack. Put all in a plastic bag in the fridge, and toast up as wanted.
Recently, I have been using them for open-faced sandwiches, like almond butter and banana, Kipper salad with apple and celery, or just melted cheese and chutney.
BTW, you can get a good second hand waffle iron on ebay, sometimes.

As for the batter dilemma, I know you are supposed to make a batter with beaten egg whites for waffles, but that’s just too tedious. I make the same batter for both pancakes and waffles, but the waffle batter gets thinned out a bit.

Peace.

Namaste,
The addition of orange zest here is inspired.
I have spent the past few months experimenting with waffle recipes for my five of hearts waffle iron. I make a batch, put them in the fridge, and toast one for breakfast or lunch. Typically, I top them with grated sharp cheese or almond butter.
Some of my recipes include: carrot/date, cornmeal, sweet potato, and banana nut.

Hi all,
I have made groats in my small, 1 1/2 quart slow cooker ($10 at Walgreens).
I put in one cup of organic groats, 4 cups of water, a dash of salt and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3-4.
When they cool, I put them in a covered casserole in the fridge. Then, for each portion, I take about 1/4 of the casserole in a bowl, and nuke for 2 minutes. You may have to add a little water because the groats get thicker in the fridge.
Add in lots of cinnamon, some real maple syrup, and toasted walnuts. Yum!
