Question I have... I cant stick to my diet help need good Medifast diet plans? Hoping for any comment. Second question of mine... I made the most decandent wonderful walnut pie cinnamon rolls (the real name is peacn pie, but I didn't have pecans). OMG.

They are so good and I will not be wolfing these down as they a swing your feet and hum rich..

I got the Medifast recipe from Serene Allison's book: Rejuvenate Your Life - recipes for energy.(.

Www.aboverubies.org.

) This is one of the more realistic books that I have purchased. I requested permission to post a couple of the recipes and it was received..

For the Pecan Pie Cinnamon rolls - I used walnuts, and instead of the wet sprout buckwheat - I just used the dry flour as you will see below, and mixed the oil and honey and water in the dough - it is wonderful and the yummy stuff - that is dangerous - I fell in love with it and was umm umm, licking my fingers ( A lady just doesn't do that.

).

For the second recipe, all I know is that people like to fight over those. Man this things are so good!.

Pecan Pie Cinnamon Rolls.

Simple Dough Recipe.

6 cups of dry soft pastry wheat berries, sprouted for 2 days. The sprouts should have nice cute little tails, not long dangly things for this recipe. You can store the sprouts in a container of water in the fridge, changing water every second day for up to a week, if not ready to use immediately..

1.Take half of the sprouts and dehydrate until thoroughly dry and grin in Vita-Mix or blender until a fine flour..

2.Put the other half of the sprouts in the Medifast food processor with 1 tsp. sea salt, cup extra virgin olive oil, a drizzle of raw honey and little spring water to get the mix moving ( cup).

3.Process well and add a little of the raw flour while processing..

4.Remove and knead the dough on a sprout-floured countertop. Use as much sprout flour as you need to make nice elastic, but not a gooey dough consistency..

5.Roll out with a rolling pin until ultra thin - mine was thin, but not ultra ( Serene uses a smooth empty glass bottle, I used a rolling pin)..

6.Spread the following Yummy Stuff on the thinly rolled pastry and roll up until a giant log. Leave some Yummy Stuff over for on top dollops..

Yummy Stuff.

1 cup dates, chopped finely.

6 cups pecans, chopped.

1 hefty tsp. sea salt.

1 cup raw honey.

Tsp nutmeg.

3 TBS cinnamon.

7. Slice inch thick cinnamon rolls ( I did about an inch).

8. Place then on Teflex covered trays in the dehydrator with a smattering of yummy stuff on top and dehydrate for 8-9 hours (or until the outside is crispy and the stick pecan innards have melted and permeated the dough.).

Chili Lime Uncorn Chips.

This is another Medifast recipe that is easy to make on the day you make other buckwheat sprout recipes such as Rejuvenation Granola and Energy Flat Bread..

Note: You can rinse and drain the sprouts well and keep them in a giant plastic bag in the refrigerator for a few days if they are ready at a busy time. Buckwheat does not store well in water. Larger grains store well in water if you change the water every couple of days until ready to use..

5 cups buckwheat sprouts.

3 cups veggies (zucchini or tomato or a mixture of both – I always put 2 cups zucchini and 1 of tomato).

2 cups pine nuts, measured and then soaked (sunflower seeds if you do not want to splurge, or a mixture of both).

1 cup golden flax meal (ground in coffee grinder).

2 tsp sea salt.

1 tsp Mexican chili powder.

2 TBS cumin seed.

2 TBS raw honey.

Juice of 2 limes.

2 big pinches cayenne pepper.

Tsp garlic powder.

2 TBS extra virgin olive oil.

Cup whole raw pumpkin seeds.

Optional – for crunch and flair, add 2 TBS black sesame seeds.

1.Blend buckwheat, veggies and pine nuts in Medifast food processor in batches..

2.Mix with other yummies..

3.Spread thinly on greased teflex sheets and score into corn chip triangle..

4.Dehydrate for 24 hours until crispy and corn-chippy. Remember to turn them over onto the mesh screen after the first few hours..

P.s. You can make these chips plain and lightly salted by leaving out the chili lime spices. You could leave in the juice of one lime...

I'm stumped. I'm not so sure what is the answer to your question. I'll do some Googling and get back to you if I discover an good answer. You should email the people at Medifast as they probably can help you..

Thank you, thank you! I tried another cinnamon roll Medifast recipe that relied on flax seeds but it was to heavy for me. And this one doesn't rely on a nut frosting, perfect! I'll also try the chip recipe..

Oh, how much does the cinnamon Medifast recipe make? I live alone so I usually cut recipes down [or I eat the whoooole thing. Because one can't be wasteful, you know..

].

Pixie,.

I cut the Medifast recipe in 1/2 and I got 12 rolls - mine are about the size of the pecan twirls that come in a package of six in the store. I have eaten 4.

And I knoooooow that is just too many..

Rawjojo - her book is 143 pages - at least 20 are devoted to information - how do I get protein, what about calcium, great information about stocking your pantry, living on a tight budget and working with a restistant family.. I think it is worth it, and I also have the coconut oil book - it is quite a bot smaller. I haven't decided how much I like it yet - but the main one is really good. Her table of contents carries such as Pizza Hut is history, the world of veggie nit stuffers, mexican fiesta, flax crackers, the living bakery, breaking the night time fast, creamy smoothies and nut milks, dreamy deserts - there is even a Medifast recipe for lemon merangue pie and a berry crunch cheescake that is begging to be made, and also a rich chocolate one made with carob. I am very impressed with her most famous Medifast recipe -rejuvenation granola. I guess I could say that - I like the book a lot..

Comment #5

Thank you so much for the Pecan Pie Cinnamon Rolls recipe, wow this looks good! I'll have to get the ingredients to make it soon..

And I appreciate the recommendation on the book too, I checked out the website and ordered the book. Now I have to "wait" to receive it, hope it gets here quickly!.

Thanks again for sharing Sweet lips!..

Comment #6

Thank you Sweet Lips for the wonderful yummy sounding recipes.

And the book recommendation!.

I can't wait to make them..

One Question:.

"6 cups of dry soft pastry wheat berries, sprouted for 2 days.".

Do I just get wheat berries and sprout them for 2 days and use as is?.

Not sure about the dry soft pastry part? Is it on her website? I am new to sprouting and using grains so sorry if stupid question..

And Pixie Green,.

If you make too many Cinnamon Rolls I might just have to drive my b_tt up.

To Denton and help you eat them, LOL.

I would bring you young coconuts.

In trade of course..

Punky: You've got yourself a deal! Knowing myself, though, I'd probably double the Medifast recipe to make sure we both get enough, Lol!.

At Whole Foods they should offer at least two kinds of wheat berries: hard wheat [either winter or spring, depending on when it was harvested] and soft pastry wheat. The hard wheat is best for sprouting wheat grass and making bread. Soft pastry wheat is best for cookies, crackers etc. Has a more mild flavor, but has less gluten than hard wheat [which is why the hw is better for sprouted bread]..

The Medifast recipe refers to "dry" soft pastry wheat meaning measure before you soak and sprout..

Slightly OT: I've just started sprouting myself, and it is so cool! I'm using canning jars [for salad sprouts], hemp bags for sprouted grains, and bamboo trays for sunflower greens and wheat grass. I can't believe it's actually working!.

I also tried the flax pecan rolls and didn't much care for them..

Can't wait to try these! Well, maybe I can since I just made Coconut Caramel cookies out of Renee's book. <G>.

Thanks for the explanation on the wheat berries and also the new book. One I don't have ~ yet. *runs to put it on my Amazon wish list* Oh pooh! Not on Amazon yet. Oh well. Always options..

Sweet Lips, thanks for posting!.

Injoy ~.

Hi Sweet Lips,.

When you made these and used the walnuts, instead of the wheat berries,.

How much dry cups of walnuts did you use to make these?.

Hope this makes sense!.

Thank You,.

Punky, pixiegreen:.

You guys are from texas? whoot, I was beginning to think everyone around here were burger fiends! i've only known 3 or 4 vegetarians since I've lived here (almost 9 years!) I'm in S.A., moving to fort worth soon. I'm hoping there will be moe veg-friendly restaurants up there!!!..

Comment #11

Pretty sure Sweet Lips is not around this board any longer. She's been gone a long time unless she's recently returned and I've not seen her yet...

Comment #12

Hi SedonaSun,.
