I have got to make that pie one day. How do
you like the crisps? I saw those but was't
tempted enough.

And I never tire of seeing that yummy looking
pie!!
I finally tried the chunky apples since I
keep seeing them in your lunches. Wow, are
they yummy!! I mixed in some TJ's pear sauce
since that stuff is too dang sweet to eat on
it's own. Turned out pretty darn tasty! But
yes, definitely more sauce than chunks in the
chunky apples.

The crisps are very tasty! Definitely
something I would buy again. I'm hoping to
get back to TJ's this afternoon, so I might
pick up another box.
They did change the chunky apples. The NYC
had been out of stock for weeks and when I
finally found them again I noticed the
difference as soon as I opened the jar. It's
still very good, but they were so much better
before when it was mainly big chunks of apple
held together with some thick sauce.

I broke out my TJ's thin green beans,
finally, last night. They've been in my
freezer forever. These beans are EXCELLENT.
So delicate!

I've posted the recipe here .
I love these green beans, even more than
fresh ones. I try to keep a bag in the
freezer at all times. I'm almost out, so
will have to restock soon.

Thank you for the recipe! That was the first
thing I thought when I looked at this lunch.
That's the kind of recipe that would do just
fine with gluten-free flour because it
doesn't depend on gluten, and it looks oh so
good and healthy. I wonder if spaghetti
squash could be used instead or if it's too
delicate?

The first time I made it, I had chickpea
flour and decided I should try to use it up.
I bought it to make a zucchini pancake recipe
I found so I figured it would good in the
pie, and it is. I made it once with regular
flour and it wasn't nearly as tasty.
The zucchini provides most of the moisture
in the batter, so I'm not sure if spaghetti
squash would work. This is a recipe where
you can probably add all sorts of other
things, though, so maybe try it with half
spaghetti and half zucchini. I keep meaning
to add some spinach or broccoli.

I'll try it straight (or as straight as I can
follow a recipe) at first. I think spaghetti
squash is drier than zucchini. Spinach
and/or broccoli would definitely be delicious
in it, though.

Since I tend to just keep grating veggies, I
always end up with more than the recipe calls
for. If the batter is too dry I add a little
extra Egg Beaters. I usually end up using
around 1/2 cup total.

Liz, I saw this recipe and thought of you.
Sounds like you'd enjoy it. I'm really going
to look for chickpea flour. I think I'd like
it.

Update: I found and bought both chickpea
flour and high fibre coconut flour, which I
think you blogged about before. This bread is
in my oven right now, and I have some Vanilla
Bean Quark (low low fat cream cheese like
spread) ready to make some zucchini quark
tea sandwiches for work tomorrow. Will
report back later because I know how much you
like all the space I take up on your posts,
with my keyboard diarrhea.

Okay, the recipe looks fantastic and I just
saw the bread in your lunch photo. I think I
have all of the ingredients at home except
for the zucchini and agave nectar. Did you
chop or grate your zucchini? I think a visit
to the health food store for agave nectar
will happen today.

I used my shredder device for the zucchini.
Some of the squash came out thin as potato
chips because I was not getting the hang of
it quite right, and then the rest came out in
tiny spiral shreds, so there's your answer.
KInda a mish-mash.
I got the agave nectar at Trader Joe's quite
a while ago (in the honey and syrup aisle)
and it's been sitting around waiting for a
good use, and this gave me the opportunity.
It's thinner and much easier to measure and
pour than honey, but tastes the same to me.
Maybe sweeter.
I didn't use the original recipe exactly due
to my modifications, and I didn't want the
masala flavor because I was using the vanilla
quark. Here is my version:

I just got back from Trader Joe's with a
bottle of the agave nectar. Now, I need
zucchini. I completely forgot to look for
that while in TJ's.
I'd like to veganize this so a co-worker can
try it, but I think I'll stick to the
original recipe for the first time just to
torment her. I have no quark so I'll use the
masala. Of course, now I want some quark.
Might have to take a walk to the cheese shop
later on and see what I can find...

I called the vendor who is at the Farmer's
Market and she says her version is not
non-fat, but is LOW fat -- she doesn't use
the full-fat variety. She's going to get the
stats for me. I think I'm in heaven. I'm not
sure why. It's just creamy goodness. Picture
greek yogurt without nearly as much
"tang." I could make a sandwich
out of this. She also makes a Lemon Quark.
I'm picturing combining Lemon Quark and
Blackberries into a crepe and eating it like
a dessert burrito. Oh man. A new obsession.
Just what I didn't need. Creamy low fat
goodness.
