A great question was posted recently in reply to my meatloaf recipe: are breadcrumbs allowed?
Yes, breadcrumbs are allowed in foods like meatloaf and meatballs on this program. Foods coated with breadcrumbs are not allowed.
I asked about breadcrumbs in one of my first group sessions after hearing Julie mention then during her talk. I make meatloaf and meatballs on a regular basis, as they are easy to take to work for lunch.
When I made meatloaf a few days ago, I didn't have ketchup, so before I baked it, I put tomato sauce (Newmans sockarooni) under and on top. It was delicious - even cold.
Another question that I asked in one my first groups was if we can have coleslaw. That answer is yes too. A tall container of coleslaw can run almost $8.00 at the deli, so recently I started making coleslaw. I sometimes buy package coleslaw, instead of chopping cabbage and carrots, and then add in Marie's coleslaw dressing. My next step is to make it completely from scratch, as it will be fresher, healthier, and cheaper. Anyone have a good recipe for coleslaw dressing?
BTW, I'll run the recipes on this blog by Julie. I've been sick all month with a wicked cold, so I haven't done this yet. I'll add add a notation to the recipes to indicate they are "Julie approved". If you have recipes you want to share, create a new post and I'll add the approval notation and link to them from the recipes page, after Julie signs off on them.
Not sure if anyone else looks at this anymore. But I would love if it continued....also, in regards to the above post, you can't have breadcrumbs if YOU put them in. Only at a restaurant or somewhere you didn't make it.
ReplyDeleteJess, you are correct in that breadcrumbs are no longer allowed. They were previously allowed inside food like meatballs and meatloaf. However, this program has evolved over the years and breadcrumbs are not allowed any more. I'll make a note to remove this post in a few days. I want to allow time for you to see this response first.
DeleteI know I've not been posting a much in the last few months. Life has changed for me in so many ways in the past 2 years and writing here has taken a side burner.
