another way would be a strawberries smoothie, just put a handful strawberries in a food processor or blender add milk and voila, pour in glas or bottle container if you want to take it along

For People who like seafood dishes bc they don’t consume meat.
Recipe for octopus spanish/hispanic style.
1 decent size octopus
White vinegar
Italian dressing
olives and capers included (Goya preferred)
red pepper(medium)
green pepper (medium)
Large white onion (sliced)
purple onion (medium size/sliced)
Pure Olive oil (Goya preferred).
In large pot add plenty of water to cook the octopus until it’s very tender (don’t leave it hard/ al dente). Make sure you add some salt to the water. When the octopus is cool, peel off all the black part of the skin and cut in small pieces (if you leave it too big it will be too chewy (ugh I don’t like that) lol
In a large bowl add 1 cup of vinegar
2 cups of Italian dressing (I prefer robust taste dressing)
Add the large sliced onion
Add the medium purple sliced onion
Add the green and red pepper cut up in small square pieces
Add 1/2 of the bottle of the olives, capers a the juice of the olives.
Olive oil (to your taste)
Mix well and put cover on bowl and refrigerate well.
When the octopus is soft, cool it before you add it to the other ingredients MIX well and let stay in the fridge overnight before serving (it will marinate and absorb the taste). We call this octopus salad/ Ensalada de pulpo. We do this mainly for large dinner parties/ Religious holidays.
Enjoy; and I hope you like it, if you try this recipe.
PS. I do antipasto salad exactly the same way (minus OCTOPUS of course) You need to find a big Jar of Giardiniera, add the ham and different kind of chesse (mozarella, yellow, swiss). The ham you can mix in regular ham, salami and even bologna but no turkey ham ugh)

It’s a Russian meat filled pastry. There are also vegan versions. You can find Piroshkis in San Francisco Bay Area, Portland, Oregon and Seattle areas. Anywhere the Russians settled or traded. From Alaska down to San Francisco. 
They are very tasty.
The one in the picture looks like beef, onions and dill.

I made 2 days ago about 4 zucchini breads… was a lot of work sind I haven’t baked for a while and I usually reduce sugar and I replaced a bit of sugar with birch sugar (xylit) and used coconut oil and used 3 eggs and probably put in a bit more of zucchini since I didn’t want to throw it out… it is still for me a tad too sweet since I don’t sweeten things like coffee and tea, but cakes taste and look good.
I didn’t have the long cake form so I did just round ones… it’s a great healthy cake you should try, you can add walnuts like I did… somewhere else I read she added a chopped apple… hmm, let me know how your cake tastes

sounds delish, Enjoy!
I saw a young Chef on a Food Channel making OCTOPUS with curry sweet and spicy sauce. All of a sudden octopus has a comeback since meat is so expensive. BTW the guy used can octopus for his recipe. Ugh I didn’t know they sell canned octopus.

They do but it’s only good for stews and things. You can taste the can otherwise. Fresh or fresh/frozen is better if you can get it.

Has anyone tried making donuts or cinnamon rolls? I found the recipe for both of them. They came out delicious. My family loved them and my siblings demanded to make more.

If the question is for me: I can’t eat sweets. I’m pre-diabetic inherited by all my past generation. Although they added several recipes here that sounded so delicious I was drooling lol. The only sweets I can tolerate w/o getting very sick are fruits and they have to be sour like green mango, green grapes, etc…

The question was general but the phrasing was misguiding. 
I edited it just now.
I love eating very sour fruits as well. I’m the only one in my family and they think I have a weird taste 
So, you can try sweets but without sugar. Or sweets are completely forbidden?

Sugar makes me very ill I get sweating/ strong palpitations/fainting, panic attacks and confusion but it also has to do with my gastric bypass. The Dr who did the surgery (Bariatric Surgeon) explained that the small intestine can not absorb the sugar and it affects other organs and causes all this side effects. It’s been 14 years already. I can’t eat donuts, cakes, ice cream or soda, and when I do take a small bite or sip (which I do at least once a month); I forgot to mention I get severe vomiting. Total nightmare…
PS. Before the gastric bypass I had very bad diabetes and needed pills (I refused the injections) after the surgery I became pre-diabetic and was able to stop the METFORMIN pills.
