They look similar to speckled pinto beans.

Let me know how they come out. Then I'll do the same.
You should see the patties that I just cooked. Oh my god, the colors. I garted some carrots, then I stir-fried my sprouts, then I put everything in my food processor, added some egg substitute and no salt breadcrumbs and made patties. Then I just put a bit of canola oil, cook em up and drain WELL!!!!

The colors of these patties is amazing. Looks like they are full of vitamins and minerals (at least this is how I look at them).

For Alan, when I serve them, I add some Ken's sodium free ginger and sesame marinade.

He goes through the roof. But then, he ALWAYS goes through the roof when I serve him anything.

he's soooo easy to please.

Raisins are dried grapes, craisins are dried cranberries..If you have a dehydrator it's easy to dry them, as they are mostly hollow anyway. You can sweeten with Splenda or Stevia (there's a new commercial version now, can't remember the name, but I'm sure it'll be it all the grocery stores). I love cranberries ~ I buy a bag & eat them raw.. There are cranberry bogs not too far away in Wisconsin. I've gotten dried cranberries for salads, cranberry honey, cranberry tea..It's all good!

You mean, as a diabetic, I can go out and buy a bag of cranberries? I'd do it in a heartbeat, only I was under the impression that they are so tart, one can't eat them. But I could add Splenda now couldn't I?


And the new Stevia product is called Truvia. Coke and Pepsi are both coming out with beverages sweetened with the stuff.

Alan lives on this. He puts it in everything.

Thank goodness it's from a plant and has no side effects. lol
