{Today’s Lunchbox} Trying Something New

Today’s lunch and two snacks are:

• Leftover stir-fry (made by my husband) with some steamed kale and hemp seeds.
• The last slice of Ricki’s Giant, Baked, Upside-down Apple Pancake (similar recipe to this, which I made as part of recipe testing for Ricki’s new ebook Top of the Morning: Breakfasts without Sugar, Gluten, Eggs or Dairy, which should be out next month or so)
• A banana blueberry muffin from  The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook, made with duck eggs instead of chicken eggs.  This recipe is a complete remake – delicious yet bananas and blueberries are the only sweeteners.

The new thing is the hemp seeds atop a stir fry which has a tamari based sauce.  As I was packing this lunch I felt it was a bit low on protein, so decided to try hemp seeds.  Before pouring them on the stir-fry, I sampled a bite of stir-fry with the hemp seeds and was pleasantly surprised at how well the two flavors blend.  I have been finding hemp seeds very versatile, especially in small quantities.

And a bit of news: Amy of Simply Sugar and Gluten-Free deserves congratulations.  Her book came out this week:
