2 ounces oatmeal (roughly 2/3 cup)
1.5 ounces raisins
1.5 ounces dried apricot, cut up
1 apple, diced
(all the above cooked together)
Served over:
2 sliced bananas
Topped with:
1T (homemade) Kumquat syrup.
Side dish: 1 english muffin, with 1T homemade jam (current favorite is
strawberry jam, though my marmalades are pretty good.)

When it’s going to be a strenuous day (like an 80-120 mile bike ride), I’ll
pour a couple of ounces of Grape nuts over the bananas, and kick the apples
up to 2. BTW, Granny Smiths are very good for this kind of preparation.

Title: Mock Pavlova
Categories: Diabetic, Desserts
Yield: 4 servings

4 Egg whites; at room temp 2 ts Cornstarch
Sweetener; equivalent to 1 ts Vanilla
-1 tsp 1 ts Vinegar
1 pn -Salt 2 Kiwis

From Murray V.F. Jones of the New Zealand Diabetes Association “Make
sure that the eggs are fresh and at room temperature,” he cautions.
“Try kiwi fruit”, he suggests, as a garnish. You’ll need a piece of
kitchen parchment.

1. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the sweetener and
salt, and continue beating. Beat in the cornstarch, vanilla and
vinegar until soft peaks form. Work quickly, and take care not to
overbeat.

2. Rinse a piece of kitchen (grease proof) parchment with water.
Place on a baking pan.

3. Pile the egg white mixture onto the parchment in a 1 1/2 inch high
circle. Bake at 250F for 1 hour or until firm.

4. Remove from oven and cool in the pan. Invert on a platter and peel
off paper. Peel and slice the kiwis crosswise into circles, leave
some round or cut some in half. Arrange in attractive designs on the
pavlova. Cut in four portion. Serve cold.

WHOLE WHEAT CARROT-PINEAPPLE CAKE
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon (or more to taste – I like LOTS)
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
2/3 cup applesauce
2 egg whites or Ener-G replacements
1 cup finely shredded carrot
1/2 cup juice packed pineapple (with juice)
1 tsp vanilla (I was out and didn’t miss it)

In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Make a well in the center
and add in remailing ingredients. Mix well (use an electic mixer if
you want your cake especially light). Bake in a Pam sprayed 8 or 9 inch
square pan at 350F (180 C) for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick-test
done.* I didn’t use a frosting-it was very moist and yummy without.
If you must, you could mix ff cream cheese, vanilla and powdered
sugar and frost with that.

*insert toothpick into center of cake. If it comes out clean, the
cake is done.
