No Pudge is a brownie mix you buy at the store. Check www.nopudge.com for more info. They are my favorite brownies!! All you do is mix it with a container of soy yogurt and bake. Very easy and very yummy. We have gone on endlessly about them before on the boards - I'm sure this is what Heather was talking about. So, if you do a search of the boards for No Pudge, you'll see past posts on it.

Michelle,
Here's some info from Dr. Weil's website:
Quote:
My preference among those available is Floridix, a Swiss-made herbal compound sold in health food stores.
To overcome iron deficiency, you can also increase your consumption of iron-rich foods -- including beans, lentils, millet, chickpeas, dark-green leafy vegetables, molasses, enriched breakfast cereals (check the labels to make sure they are fortified with iron), dried apricots and peaches, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, pistachios, walnuts, almonds, scallops, clams, oysters, soybeans, and more. (Of course, red meat is also a rich source of iron.) You can add even more iron to your food by doing some of your cooking in iron pots.
If you need an iron supplement, be sure to take it with vitamin C, which enhances iron absorption. The lactic acid in both yogurt and sauerkraut can also help your body absorb iron, as do fermented soy foods, such as miso. Do keep in mind, though, that when you're planning a meal emphasizing iron-rich foods and vitamin C, make it a point to avoid foods that interfere with iron absorption -- such as caffeinated beverages, eggs, milk, and bran.
Hope this helps!

Mags, I did a search but had no luck. What am I doing wrong? Are these as good as the "Antidepressant Brownies" which I love so much? A mix, eh? Good grief, I'll never find 'em -- where are they?

Gosh, I don't know! I just tried it and a ton came up. Just click on search, type in "no pudge", and under date range select "all posts". Personally, they are my favorite brownies. I've tried the Antidepressant Brownies once, and I like the No Pudge better. They came out more fudgy, but someone posted that if you use egg whites, ADB's come out more fudgy. I had used Egg Beaters, so I have to go back and try making the ADB's again to see if it works.
But, I'm also lazy and when I want my chocolate, I want it NOW!! LOL So, to open a box and just mix it with a yogurt works for me. If you check http://www.nopudge.com/common/where2buy.html, you can see where the No Pudge is sold.

To be honest, I tried making the ADBs and thought that I must have done something wrong since it came out more cake-like than brownie-like. Was not that impressed. I used the egg whites too. Guess I'll have to try making them again.

Thanks, Mags, for the web site -- I see I can get them at the Red Apple or at Albertson's, not far from here. Jennifer, it might just be me. I haven't had any form of chocolate whatsoever in YEARS because I was under the misconception I could not have it. When I found out differently, the ADB were the first chocolate I'd had in a very long time. To me, it was like gold (but I had nothing to compare it with). SOOOO, I'm gonna make a jaunt down to Albertson's or the Red Apple and get some of the No Pudge, whip 'em up, then do a taste test. I love taste tests, they're a lot of fun. I'll let ya know the results! Bev

Jen - if you used the egg whites, then maybe they're just supposed to come out cake like. I don't like cake like brownies. I thought someone said if you use the egg white, they come out like the fudgy kind - the kind I like. But, since you've tried them with the whites & still cakey - thanks for the tip - I won't bother wasting my time to be disappointed!

Well, if something doesn't come out, I always try it again just in case I screwed up somewhere so I'll try it and let you know!
