Even now, I just took a break (redoing the kitchen), and whipped up a batch of pancakes with Flour A (a combo I wrote), and wow. Had I not gotten sick, Flour A, might not be in my kitchen right this very minute.<br /><br />For things like this, I'm thankful. And, years of chronic spinal issues ... gone.

Very tasty! The snowman will have to wait till next year when the grand-children come to us for Xmas. <br /><br />The chicken dish sounds good and I could use Spanish sweet Pimenton instead of paprika I guess (much the same).<br /><br />Jo .. have you ever tried cauliflower 'rice' - low in carbs/calories and very tasty. Simply blitz the white bits of cauliflower in a mixer for 2 mins or grate it to the consistency of rice. For a quick cook, just put it in a bowl, cover with clingfilm and microwave for 3-4 mins (no water needed). My preferred cooking method is to spread it onto a lightly oiled tray and bake in the over at 200deg for 12 mins (stirring halfway through) this gives a crispier/drier finish. I also sprinkled ground cumin and coriander on mine before cooking. Even David loved it and he isn't a lover of veggies. <br />Suex<br />Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-31035355272574882902015-12-06T23:45:49.320-05:002015-12-06T23:45:49.320-05:00I have eaten Chicken Paprika before Ivy, but I fou...I have eaten Chicken Paprika before Ivy, but I found this recipe somewhat different.<br /><br />Not my idea of fun.
