Both of my daughters took Home Economics when they were in High School. Both of them were told by their Home Economics teacher that you can't have a nutritious meal if everything is the same color.
Needless to say, that kind of upset me. Of course you can have a nutritious meal using only one color. As proof, I offer this main course:
452 calories, only 10% of calories from fat, about 20% of RDA for most vitamins, 7 grams of dietary fiber. All in all, I'd say a nutritious part of a health lifestyle.
So here is the challenge:
Using the comment area below, provide your suggestion for a healthy meal, or at least a healthy main course, having at least three dishes all of the same color. Unusual use of food colorings doesn't count, but traditional recipes such as Pasta Nero are acceptable.
Include your name and email address so we can contact the winner. A single winner will be randomly chosen from those entries meeting the criteria. The winner will receive a $35 Amazon Gift Card.
Contest closes at midnight, February 28, 2010.

I have a cookie formula that calls for baking ammonia. What are the proportions to replace the baking ammonia with baking soda or baking powder. I know that baking powder is a mixture of soda and Cream of tartar. I will appreciate your help.

Baking ammonia, also known as ammonium bicarbonate, is a white powder or crystal that was used for leavening baed good prior to the creation of modern baking powder. I wrote an article about it a few years ago -- What is Baking Ammonia. It can be found in some drug and specialty food store.
Because baking ammonia breaks down with heat to leaven foods, its action is somewhat similar to most commercial double-acting baking powders.
If you can't find baking ammonia, you can substitute the same amount of commercial baking powder.
