oh goodness goodness. Is it Friday yet? Well, the weekend was nice and thoroughly enjoyed. I picked up the hubs yesterday and we are back in FULL SWING of life. Unfortunately my computer is not. You see, for the past 10 days I’ve received three viruses. WHOA! How did that happen? You know what I did to remedy this? Called our good “tech” friend to the rescue. He fixed it not only once, but twice! I owe him endless amounts of Healthy Bites that’s for sure.
After he fixed it the second time around, I had to reboot all my files, software, etc. (and I am still in the process of doing that). Anywho, my computer no longer recognizes my gravatar/email commenting set up, so all you wordpress bloggers….I AM GOING TO YOUR SPAM! I think I have the magic touch to spam all computers, haha.
In the midst of all the technology debacle yesterday, I just had to laugh! I told the hubs that we are quite the pair. It’s a good thing we know how to turn off an oven, right? Speaking of ovens, I decided to get my head out of my computer yesterday and ENJOY some baking! That’s one area where SPAM is not allowed……yet.
Since the hubs is enjoying a recovering week, and with that being said, I try to up his antioxidants/protein. This means lots and lots of good veggies, omega rich foods, etc.
Cheesy Flax Protein Bread
(Grain Free)
Ingredients: (Makes 10-12 slices)
60gr plain protein powder (I used life Basics Unsweetened)
¼ c. Greek Yogurt/Cottage cheese (cottage cheese is rich in amino acids)
2 eggs and 1 flax egg (flax egg- 1 tablespoon flaxmeal and 2-3 tablespoon water)
1 Tbs Nutritional Yeast
1 Tbs. Unsweetened Tomato paste
1 tsp. Turmeric (High antioxidants)
dash of paprika (optional)
1 tsp. Crazy Jane Salt Mix
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
Directions
Heat oven to 350F. Combine all ingredients into a bowl. Mix well. You might have to add in some milk if its too thick. Coat a loaf pan with a non stick spray. Pour bread mixture into it. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes. Might be a little longer if depending on your oven.
Alright people, time to go de-spam my computer once again! If I haven’t gone crazy (okay crazier) by tomorrow, I’ll post a WIAW and/or WIWW. Maybe SPAM will be on the menu. Haha, I know this girl has made it before!
Over and Out,
Sir Spam-a-lot
(aka LC)
doesn't baking make pretty much EVERYTHING better? i am having a hard time thinking of something or a mood that it wouldn't cure. 😉
Aw, technology has not been nice to you lately, has it? I'm sorry! At least the oven is nice to you…the bread looks awesome!

me too! i need to be able to talk to my miami jenny! Lindsay________________________________
its totally a "kath" style bread. No spam included. haha. Lindsay ________________________________
I had the problem with being spammed myself a while ago. Since then, I check my spam filter regularly. Thank you for telling me nevertheless, you should be able to comment like usual again now!The bread look amazing! I WANT IT!
I've had another friend rave about those produce bags, but I've never bought any! I need to get on that! : )
Yummm love that protein bread and definitely glad I got your spam!! 🙁
I have to admit, I'm yet to foray into the 'flax egg' world! I keep reading about it and am intrigued, just yet to be convinced ;)Maybe you could help me with my recent post? http://vivoir.wordpress.com/2011/06/15/going-against-the-grain/
I think I need to get a few of those bags im always losing produce especially from my CSA cause I dont know what to do with it!
haha yes you do!! Chlorophyll it up girl! gotta keep that body healthy.Lindsay ________________________________
chocolate cheesy bread might not be the best, unless its with cream cheese!! hmmm, theres an idea!Lindsay ________________________________
oh no, not good! like houston isn't hot enough. haha. Just don't forget to turn it off when you leave the house! Lindsay ________________________________
poor dave, he needs to help by eating more vegetables. haha. If you think they are about to go bad, stick them in the freezer. You always use them for a casserole or quiche later. bye the way, I need you to come visit!!Lindsay ________________________________
me too! wish we could have hung around more. Are you getting pumped for IMCDA? Lindsay ________________________________
i know, everyone says to get a mac. Next computer for sure! And thank you for reminding me to take that advice. Glad you enjoyed reading about it! Lindsay ________________________________
So so sorry about the computer problems my friend. I absolutely hate technology. The bread looks delicious though so maybe you should just stick with baking? jk I would die without your blog!
I gotta get some of those bags. I get so irritated when my greens go bad. I need my chlorophyll, dangit! 😛 Have a good day, spammy.
yikes computer problems suck! bill and i finally switched to macs because we could not take it anymore…..good luck and can you send some of that bread? YUM!!!!!! btw thank you for mentioning me on your post the other day……i read the post at work but can't comment at work…….loved it!
Those bags look awesome!! So does that bread! Glad your spam problem is fixed!Great to meet you for a quick second at Quassy!
I gotta try those bags. I refuse to clean out the fridge so it's Dave's job. He yells at me every time he comes across old produce… which is pretty often! If it's even the slightest bit questionable, I don't touch it. So it just sits there.. hahahahah. Oops!
everytime you write spam I think of the actual food…i am grossed out 😉 My husband and I forget to turn off the oven 🙂 All of a sudden the apartment is 20 degrees hotter and we can't figure out why….oh life 🙂
Spam is the lamest. Sorry girl! Thanks for another awesome protein recipe! I need to buy unflavored protein. I keep seeing great recipes with that ingredient. All I have is chocolate, cinnamon roll, and vanilla. Hmmm, chocolate cheesey bread sounds…disgusting! Hahahah!
i had a bread itch too! funny how we get those, right? haha. Let me know if you make it. Lindsay ________________________________
yes, pick my brain!! can't wait!LC________________________________
yes, and thanks to you I having eggs and kale today! haha.Lindsay ________________________________
I think they do for the produce kept in the fridge. Haven't tried them for anything else yet. But I'm sure they'd help!Lindsay ________________________________
If I had a real job and my computer got a virus, I'd take the day off! hehe. Lindsay ________________________________
just think, now you could buy produce at costco with these bagss, haha! Hope your enjoying your week friend. Lindsay ________________________________
haha! sorry you have so much spam in your life right now…not cool! haha! That protein bread looks delish! Also…thanks for the tip on the bags…I have never heard of them but living on my own means 3 extra days for produce would be HUGE!!! in keeping my produce around a bit longer for me to enjoy 🙂
Oh viruses are such bummers! I've had one at work for the last few days and it makes it so hard to get done. Glad that you got them cleared up and I hope it stays that way.
i know, and you feel so bad just wasting it. I hear ya! Hope you get to try them! Lindsay ________________________________
ooo nice! ill have to check out those bags! i always mean to figure out ways to increase the life of my produce but havent yet. i just threw away some spinach that went bad too 🙁 boo! thanks for the tip!
ugh, I know! I need that and some $ to buy it! haha. How are you?!!Lindsay ________________________________
girl we are totally in the same boat. Misery loves compeany…when it comes to computers, right? haha. Hope you are having a good night! Lindsay ________________________________
haha, i wouldn't dare do that to you adrienne! Not unless someone paid me that is. Lindsay ________________________________
oh you should! I have a feeling you'd like them. Ya know, since being a produce junkie like me. haha. Lindsay ________________________________
oh yes, I did! i learned the hard way last time. ugh. Pictures are so precious, I agree.Hope all is well caroline!Lindsay ________________________________
Computer virus are the worst….backup your pics! that is my advice..we had a virus last year and we lost a lot of stuff..some pics and it broke my heart. A guy was able to recover a lot of files but not all of them. Now I am better at backing up the pics on an external drive.
boo to computer viruses. i'm sorry you have had to deal with that. i need to try those bags! i have a habit of letting things hang out in the produce drawer for too long sometimes. and the bread looks delicious!
I have to say I'm a little relieved to read that you were talking about computer spam and not real food spam. I thought "Not Lindsay, she would never eat spam". So that is a relief. Sorry about the viruses…..such a pain. I must admit having a mac is great for not dealing with viruses although I am still learning all the "new" programs. Hope your virus days are over.
I always wondered if those bags actually worked. I need to get some!
ohhh that bread looks wonderful! We never bake anymore because eat a whole loaf in one day! :PSorry to hear you've had a tough week with your computer. I promise you you're not the only one who doesn't feel tech savvy! I think all of your comments are getting through as I just checked my spam. But let me know if they're not. I'm still deciding whether to drop the disqus system or not. Sigh when will technology get easier?? 😛
I know your cure for spam…. you need to consider investing in a Mac 🙂
Yum! looks delish! And yay for kale! It was so tasty today, I must say. I'm so sorry for your spam issues! What a pain!!!
i hope your computer is better now!! Viruses are no fun 🙁 That bread you made looks absolutely amazing!!!! I really want to just pick your brain for all of your GF recipes bc yours always look so great!
i miss you too!!! When are you free to talk? Lindsay ________________________________
I hope your computer is free of viruses now! I got your comment today so that's a good sign. 🙂 I missssss you!
oh the JOY of technology sometimes!
That bread looks absolutely delicious and I will be baking in the near future, I have had a bread itch anyway. Glad you are enjoying time with your husband home and everything also!!

hey, I could totally use the prayers. haha. thanks Allie!Lindsay ________________________________
oh girl, that sounds good actually. we used to eat fried eggs and spam in hawaii with rice. They love that stuff there! but I think I'll stick to my regular meat here. haha.Lindsay ________________________________
oh ya, i think that wouldns out be perfect in the bread! let meknow how it turns out! Lindsay ________________________________
ugh, I know i know! I think I want an iPad first. Do you have one? Lindsay ________________________________
the life basics is pea and hemp protein. ITS SO FREAKIN GOOD! and it bakes well. The unsweetened is at Sprouts. Lindsay ________________________________
glad I can't spam you! well, at least not for now. ha. Lindsay ________________________________
we have the same TX spice lovin'! ain't that right girl?! Lindsay ________________________________
yes so true. Can't live with technology and can't live without it, right? Good think I did back it up!phew.p.s.congrats on marathon number 7!!Lindsay ________________________________
eek, thats not good. Thanks for letting me know. I used them in the fridge. We go through bananas so fast, the bags would be able to keep up, haha. Lindsay ________________________________
I hope that your computer doesnt get any more viruses. I will pray for your computer(sounds dorky but Hey I do it EVERYDAY since mine crashed last year and nothing) I hope your hubby gets a TON of rest and gets to do something relaxing this week!!! MMMM I LOVE bread, but barely eat it anymore
That bread looks AWESOME! I have some plain brown rice protein that I could definitely put to good use with this!
Oh Lord, SPAM…now THAT brings back some childhood memories! Fried and slathered in ketchup…maybe even on a slice of bread! How did I eat that stuff?!!I totally forgot that turmeric is high in antioxidants! Seriously, I need to write this stuff down!That bread sounds like it would be absolute Heaven with cream cheese and tomato!! Mmmmmm!Good luck with the computer! I like how you're staying positive, I probably would've driven off a cliff after the second time! Haha!
I got the Clearly Fresh bags as well – don't use them for bananas. The moisture in the bags builds up and mold will start to grow!
I had no idea that tumeric was high in antioxidants! You always post the best looking recipes! You're so good to take care of your hubby after his race. Sorry about your computer situation. Our hard drive died a little while ago and if we wouldn't have had our back up running I would have lost everything! I think you posted a while ago about technology and the pain and pleasure that it is. Glad you're back to normal!
mmm that bread sounds AWESOME!! I always love the spices you use….
Hey, spammer! 😉 I kid, I kid…that happened to me a few months ago. Some wordpress blogs still don't let me comment. It's bizarre.So glad you and the husband are reunited!
Gosh, spam is the WORST. Sorry lady! And that loaf looks and sounds like something I could eat on the reg. Bookmarked! As soon as I get home…. But I need to buy a different protein powder first. I CAN NOT bake with whey protein isolate. It tastes terrible no matter what – the texture. What kind of protein should I buy instead? Normal whey? Soy? Rice? Ideas?
Hope your computer problems are solved!! 😀 That bread looks really awesome!
Urgh, computer troubles are annoying, bc it renders me helpless. Get a Mac, Lindsay! It's pretty straightforward and easy to get used to, and I've had mine for 3 years and never had any virus problems.
knock on wood for sure! Gotta try the bread girl, you'd love it. Lindsay ________________________________
I heard that too! I need a mac. But it would probably take me a year to figure out how to work it. haha. Lindsay ________________________________
haha, evil for sure! It can really be frustrating, if we let it, right? Glad yours is all clear! How can any virus affect sweet emma. Hope the shins are healing well. Hugs friend. Lindsay ________________________________
do it! all you need is a side of this bread to scoop up the sauce. UM. HECK. YA! Lindsay ________________________________
i know, and they love blogger more, right? ha! Hope you are getting some rest friend.:) Lindsay ________________________________
yep, but this too shall pass, right? such a silly problem! Hope you get the produce bags.Lindsay ________________________________
yes, I made myself enjoy NOT BEING ON THE COMPUTER. totally worth it. 🙂 Lindsay ________________________________
check out their website! maybe they sell by you. How are you feeling post race?;) Lindsay ________________________________
oh totally! the mix is salt, garlic, onion powder, and pepper I think. Try those! 😉 Lindsay ________________________________
oh the joys of technology…a friend mine thinks her MAC got a virus, but they claim you cant?? who knowswe have the green produce bags, i think they help with the shelf life, haha
i bet they are the same people. You should try them! I love mine. Life saves for when I travel too. Hope you guys are enjoying the portland fresh air. I can't wait!! Lindsay ________________________________
Computer viruses can be such a pain. Thankfully I haven't had any in a long long time (knock on wood). That bread looks super tasty!
IT DOES!! Like cheesy pizza! thanks for inspiration girl. Lindsay ________________________________
i wonder how they choose the spammers, haha. Happy TAPER WEEK! Lindsay ________________________________
I know, same here. thats half the reason why i don't buy more produce at Costco. Ya know? Lindsay ________________________________
oh trust me, I need the same oven. Like one that is cool on the outside and hot on the inside. haha. Its already 100F here too!by the way, are you done with the detox? Lindsay ________________________________
holyfreakingyum.GF pasta night for me. CRAVING IT!! weird.
Argh TOTALLY feel ya on the technical issues!! Thankfully my tech guy got my virus sorted out…after 3 days of working on it!! He said it was 'pure evil' haha! :PAnd that bread sounds AMAZING! The Hubs is so blessed to have such an amazing wife with killer skills in the kitchen!! He'll be fully recovered from his race in no time with all your amazing Cotter food:)Hope you two have a great week!! <3

Boo! I hate computer troubles!
Boo! I hate computer troubles!
My boys love spam! Seriously. I'm glad things are getting back to normal. The bread looks amazing!
Oh, I hope you get all the bugs out soon. Of course, you can always refer back to my Mac comment and fix it entirely : ) The bread looks oh so yummy! I need a better oven that would allow me to bake in the summer and not make my house 100 degrees!
Those bags look fantastic! I was just talking to my family about how to make produce last longer. Thanks! Hope things start looking up for you soon 🙂
Note to self: do not read your blog when I'm hungry right before a workout. That bread looks SO GOOD!!PS. Boo on the spam, I was wondering why your comment came up as one I needed to approve this morning!
Every once in a while my comments decide to go to spam — it is so frustrating! That bread looks delicious!
oh my goodness, i love your take on this bread – i bet it'd taste like pizza with italian herbs! i need to get some plain protein powder to try out new variations! 🙂 good luck with your computer!!!
good to hear about the bags – I never really know if they work or not?? someone has been emailing me to try some (perhaps those!) and I don't know why I'm such a skeptic :)I remember several months ago that happened to me, my gravatar was messed up and I was in everyone's spam jail. once released I was fine. 😉
That bread looks really good. Is there a substitute for that salt mix, (um, like, salt?)
