]]> Comment on Pumpkin Cake with Whole Grain Crumble Topping by jaw123456 http://wholesomehome.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/pumpkin-cake-with-whole-grain-crumble-topping/#comment-79 jaw123456 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 22:42:33 +0000 http://wholesomehome.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/pumpkin-cake-with-whole-grain-crumble-topping/#comment-79 I created this recipe because I used to like to make dump cake during the holidays when I was a teenager. So, I added more wholesome ingredients and took out the boxed cake mix...and voila! A sweet treat that is simple and fairly quick to make...

]]> Comment on Pasta Salad (can be served hot or cold) by jaw123456 http://wholesomehome.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/pasta-salad-can-be-served-hot-or-cold/#comment-78 jaw123456 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 22:26:23 +0000 http://wholesomehome.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/pasta-salad-can-be-served-hot-or-cold/#comment-78 This is a family favorite. I love the colors in this simple pasta dish. There are so many varieties of pasta salads... in the summer I chill this for a while and add tomatoes from the garden. In the winter we eat it served warm with chicken. We like a little extra garlic, so we add to the pesto. This recipe is easily increased. This is a family favorite.

She makes it for her family and for various occasions and it is always a hit! I chose to recreate the recipe using natural sweetners rather than table sugar, as well as adding more fruit, and flax. Have fun with it and experiemt with flavors you like. This dish is a wonderful treat any day of the week and is a delicious addition to brunch!

]]> Comment on Delicious Spinach Dish with East Indian Spices by jaw123456 http://wholesomehome.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/delicious-spinach-dish-with-east-indian-spices/#comment-76 jaw123456 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 21:58:02 +0000 http://wholesomehome.wordpress.com/?p=154#comment-76 I created this dish with Saag Panir in mind. However, I did not necessarily have all the traditional ingredients. This dish is a delicious main dish served along side of a rice dish, and fruit platter. I have also served it as a side with a curry chicken dish. Enjoy the creamy texture, and full flavor. I especially enjoy it with whole grain pita bread. I created this dish with Saag Panir in mind.

You never know where people are coming from or what pain in their own lives they're hiding. I wouldn't want to hurt them. And we do, sometimes, get nice comments--how they wish they'd had more kids, how they grew up w/ lots of siblings, etc. Uh…since I suffer from delayed intelligence, I usually just smile and keep on walking. :)
