That sounds good too! I bet it would be really yummy to turn it into a crumble with some of the WF pancake syrup and an oatmeal packet...I might have to try this!
I love this thread and it is just what I need. I am struggling this week and needed something new to inspire me.
I bought a bunch of Simply Bars...that was a HUGE mistake. They are really yummy and healthy, but they are very light and I found myself eating more than I was supposed to, sometimes 3 in one day. NOT GOOD! I think I will stick with the pure protien bars because they are more satisfying.
This week has been that week where no matter what I ate I would never besatisfied, I could eat a semi truck full of food and would still want more...I hate it. I know it is hormonal and it will pass.
Today is a new day...
Definitely picking up the jicama and the WF caramel. I am very fortunate I have a Sprouts very close and they carry all the WF products.
Another great Jicama recipe that I have made in the past:
Cut up in cubes
squeeze of lime
sprinkle salt
sprinkle chili powder
sprinkle cayenne if you like a kick.
I am going to the charger/cowboys game today...guess what I am bringing!!
Jicama is wonderful, but I learned the hard way to choose the smaller ones. Hubby picked me up a very large one, and it was not nearly as sweet - had an almost bitter taste. Once I sliced it up and dehydrated it with some cinamon and splenda, it was fine, but I would not have wanted to eat it plain!
MMmmmmm.....what about pureed jicama with a little cinnamon and sweetener - mock applesauce!
I came back to this thread because I had the same question- I think I might give it a shot either tonight or tomorrow. Getting nervous about the piece I bought, though, because it's pretty big. They didn't have any small ones, only giant ones (about the size of a small canteloupe). Oh well, we'll see how it goes, hopefully it won't be bitter.
I have never seen Jicama in the store nor rutabaga or rhubarb. Is it a northern thing?
If you have a Spanish market near you that's probably where you'll find it. I live in a city with a big Hispanic population so one of the local chain markets has a lot of stuff I can't find at the other stores.
I got my jicama at Whole Foods and Wegmans, but yes, I am in the NE.
I tried the jicama dessert bake recipe that LizRR posted, it was good but still too crunchy for me, I was hoping for that squishy apple consistancy. My slices might not have been thin enough. I have some leftover, I think I will throw it in the mic tonight and see if that gets it where I want it to be. But overall, thumbs up!
