Steve Gifford Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Found a brand of Chorizo, no MSG, no Sugar, but it does have some Nitrate. What's the ruling on having that during the month? It's not a big deal if I can't but I do love that spicy goodness with some eggs from time to time. Second question, it's not really a pancake but I from time to time would make an egg whatever you'd like to call it. two eggs, 1/2C unsweetened shredded coconut, pinch salt, and some Cinn. Sometimes add some blueberries in it as well. Has kind of a hashbrown almost texture. I haven't made them in a while but sometimes they're good on the go. What's the thought on this.

Lisa@SwissPaleo Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi, I found this quote from a moderator in another thread: "Its actually fine. Nitrates are ok, sulfites are not." Looks like you can enjoy your chorizo! As far as the egg thing, it seems fine to me---protein from the egg, fat from the coconut--all good. I would suggest adding a side of vegetables and it's a complete meal. Might even have to try it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Eh, I don't love the egg coconut hash thing. It's really close to pancake territory, plus 1/2c coconut is a lot more than 2 thumbs. I would keep it out until you're done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaToMyMunkins Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Renee, according on ISWF (p. 194) a serving of coconut flakes isn't 2 thumbs, but one to two open (heaping) handfuls. Am I reading this correctly? I thought that things like oils and butters were measured by thumbs, but things like olives and coconut flakes were masured by handfuls instead. I would appreciate some guidance. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Shoot, sorry Mama. You're right; I didn't have the book on hand when I replied It's still too close to a pancake for me to give it the all clear, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaToMyMunkins Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Wasn't at all arguing the pancake, just wanted to make sure I have been gauging my amounts correctly. Thanks so much for the clarification! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
