Bible Food - The Book of Galatians

Image
For some strange reason, occasionally I get a whim to find out what people in the "Biblelands" would have eaten at the time of the writing of a particular piece.  Apart from the references to meat and dairy, much of what the people ate in those days, in that place, sounds like a good fit for a touring vegan.  Today we did a little dip into the Book of Galatians,  a letter (epistle) written by the apostle Paul to the Christian communities in Galatia.   Scholars date Galatians to around AD 48–55. If it was written earlier, it would be one of Paul's first letters, possibly before the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15, AD 49), which addressed the issue of Gentile converts following Jewish customs.   The main theme of the letter is justification by faith rather than adherence to the Mosaic Law. Paul strongly argues against the teaching that Gentile Christians must follow Jewish laws (like circumcision) to be saved. He defends his apostleship, emphasizes the role of grace, ...

Plum-Banana Breakfast Squares, Vegan and Gluten-Free

These plum-banana breakfast squares are the result of wanting to use up some of the abundance of a backyard plum harvest.  I will also be making a plum upside-down cake to take to Church tomorrow (but not a very healthy recipe, so it won't be on this blog).

We will use some of these plums today:
I love these little orbs of sunshine.  I call them "Little Golden Plums" although I know they must have a proper scientific name.

😶You can use any sort/named plum but make sure you remove the stone when prepping them.

😶Set the Oven for 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 180 C.

😶Make your flaxseed or chia seed egg:

·    1 tbsp ground Flaxseed or Chia Seed + 3 tbsp water- whisk up together and set aside until it is the consistency of whisked egg white, creamy and sticky (about 10-15 minutes)

    😶Add the flaxseed/chia seed egg to the following in your food processor:
·         6oz Coconut Milk 
·         1 ripe Banana, mashed
·         1 tsp pure Vanilla extract
·         1 cup Almond Meal
·         2 cup Oat Flour (use certified gluten-free oats if necessary- I ground mine up in the Vitamix)
·         ½ cup Coconut Shreds
·         3/4 cup Coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice)
·         1 tsp Baking Soda
·         ¼ tsp Sea Salt
·         😶 After whirling the above together, pour into a medium size bowl and mix in:
  • ·         1 cup fresh Plums, chopped into quarters
·  😶Spoon or pour the above into an 8x8 pan, either lined with parchment (my preference) or sprayed with cooking oil.
😶Bake for about 25 - 30 minutes.
😶Remove and cool right in the pan on a rack (the cooler the better to keep its shape).
😶Cut into squares and serve when cool.


  • Cake for brekky anyone??😁
