I sneak them into my meals. So dessert is a good idea

[@iffyangel3380]

It's a great idea.

[@markphillips7538]

These remind me of the zucchini bars my mom used to make when I was a kid. I don't remember icing on them, but everything else looks the same.

[@confessionsofasahm]

First i was like this is weird. Then I thought another way to sneak veggies in on the kids 😆

[@anidanielle]

Absolutely in favor! I just put pumpkin and almond flour in sheet pan pancakes for dinner tonight and everyone ate them, even my kid who doesn't like nuts! I want to try black bean or avocado brownies too.

[@the_newt_nest]

We need Dylan Hollis to do a video on this too, just because I can hear him yelling "MOIST LETTUCE BARS"

[@KNPrince]

Or the intro the video.. "Moist Lettuce Bars" from 19xx.. When I first read this recipe.. I shook my head.. These are the reason we don't preform lobotomies for simple medical issues anymore.. Thank you advances in Medical Science!"

[@critically.panned]

I didn’t recognize the name, but I still knew exactly who you were talking about. I agree, we need this lmao

[@wigglyfruit4708]

Yesssssss!!!

[@pastbehind25]

Yaassssss

[@LadyAstolat]

They need to do a collaboration! It would be the most adorable thing!

[@tommj4365]

"I'm going to use my impeccably clean hands" that always cracks me up a bit, like it should be on a t-shirt or bumper sticker or something

[@shannondore]

I love vintage retro recipes. More please! The weirder, the better.😁

[@moxiedawn4370]

When did moist become a bad word? I feel like some comedian in the 90s said it was weird, and everyone just latched onto that idea. Because when I was growing up (born in 1970), all the commercials for cake mixes couldn't go on about how moist their cakes were. It was the moist important quality!

[@SpaceBearEngineer]

From what I've read there doesn't appear to be any one event. Words just change in meaning over time. Once upon a time the word "man" meant "human" and the words for "male human" and "female human" were "wereman" and "wifman", but over time that all changed. "Moist" seems to just be increasingly associated with bodily functions with each generation. Eventually I could imagine it becoming an exclusively anatomical word or another term for bodily fluids.

[@shannondore]

I wondered the same thing. Not that I use the word a lot, but when I do, people always say, "I hate that word."🤔

[@defaultuser1447]

One problem is, there's not a great substitute. "Wet"? "Damp"? "Soggy"?

[@SetoKaiba342]

Idk but it was definitely a big thing when I was a kid in the 00s if that helps.

[@Imthebrownunicorn]

I don’t know when it happened but I personally have a disdain for the pronunciation of that word and also the word procedure. I believe it’s called logomisia

[@ReneeMarchigano]

I bet this was a sneaky mom tricking her kids into eating some veggies. "Ah I'll just tell them the green things are sprinkles" lmao 🤣

[@TSS161]

This has honestly been an intrusive thought for years, whenever I had wilted old lettuce in the fridge and no idea how to use it. Like it kind of makes sense since its kind of like Zucchini bread/bar, just a high moisture veggie to add moisture and some body to a baked good

[@dreams2xs]

My mother grew tons of zuccini in her garden. We always had zuccini bread, zuccini relish, zuccini this, zuccini that. In 2000 she brought a jar of zuccini relish her mother canned to my house. Grandma died in 1971. At least 29 years old...🤮. I asked if it was still good. My mother cracked it open and ate a spoonful of it. She said yes, it is still good.

[@shellyg5705]

Did you eats some? lol

[@A111-v7v]

To make your hens lay more eggs during winter add a light on a timer to extend the amount of light in your chicken coop so they have 11 hours of light per day.

[@ChristyTina22]

This is my favorite glaze for sugar cookies. I've made it with orange, too. Something about that sweet cookie with the tart glaze is amazing.

[@PaulThomasHarris]

I’m still watching, just pressing into the pan. I enjoy your videos, you’re so courageous with your recipes. Thank you for sharing

[@luminariel3765]

This very much sounds like a post-Depression Era recipe, when people were trying to get used to vegetables again after having gone without for so long. Very interesting!

[@-anotherbrokenegg]

I actually really like things made out of lettuce. My husband thinks I'm really bizarre for it, And I know probably most people would too, But I just have a really weird lettuce addiction. 😂 I love trying all different kinds and maybe it's because I'm so limited with what I can eat. I really appreciate just the simple things that don't upset my digestive system that I'm able to eat in bulk. So I really enjoyed this!

[@Trund27]

Lettuce was one of my mother’s favourite veggies. It’s not weird at all! Lettuce can be lovely!

[@little_baby1663]

My little sister is the same way so your definitely not alone haha

[@Goldi-Luc]

lettuce makes me so sick!

[@-anotherbrokenegg]

@Goldi-Luc I cannot imagine a life like that! 😯

[@neetidols]

I'm the same way with cabbage 😂😂 I don't think you're weird at all lol

[@timrowe63]

Lettuce is Crispy Water... Basically 🤪

[@frostymoonbear]

Always a joy to see your videos, if it tastes good then I wouldnt mind

[@barbararoyal6139]

😊🍋!! Thank you for making smiles Emmy!

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

I love your cheerfulness And willingness to try new stuff

[@MsWillowbayOrelse]

Eventually they will stop laying, when winter comes on. For next year - To keep your chickens laying, you should put an auto light in your hen house. Make it so that it goes off around 9pm. That will trick the chickens into thinking it is daytime longer. Then they will lay year round.

[@robylove9190]

I remember the days when we were told that lettuce was never cooked or frozen. It was only to be used fresh. Times have really changed. I used cooked lettuce a lot.

[@mochiemy]

I haven’t heard of lettuce bars before I find it interesting and amazing video Emmy

[@JimsKitschKitchen]

Hi Emmy!!! This is a fun one- that is fun that it’s like zucchini bread. In my fridge I have the cranberry mayo candle you made a few years ago- look forward to tasting it

[@ApotheosisDivine69]

Awesome video, Emmy!

[@lacywilliams4478]

No one has ever understood when I say that alllllll the lettuces and cabbage are my most favorite foods!!! 😭🫶🏻🥬🌿🌱🍃

[@mesangmom]

Did you try your cabbage shaver on the lettuce?

[@onlymebaby.9249]

Looks like a prison solitary confinement punishment loaf.

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

I'm going to call this 'salad' so I can feel better about my diet choices

[@aryella7107]

Usually you wanna combine your fat and sugar, till the sugar dissolves. Then add your eggs to that until they become pale and foamy. wheat comes last and should only be folded in, so you don't develop gluten and turn it into bread.

[@SheWearsShortSkirtsIEatPizza]

Shes baked many things on the channel. I would assume that if she used a different method, it's probably because the instructions said so.

[@shinrasboy]

This seems like it would be pretty close to a zucchini bread

[@lisapop5219]

My guess is that it's probably because you can see the lemon & aren't constantly stopping to make sure that you aren't digging into the pith. Hence, longer strips

[@phyllisreinking4208]

How would it be with a quarter cup less sugar I wonder?

[@Dexy83]

I was wondering if we could use sugar substitute? 🤔

[@loriki8766]

I was thinking the same thing. Actually, honey complements lemon. This might be even better with 1/2 cup sugar & 1/4 cup of honey. Or maybe even less sugar. I don't like things overly sweet.

[@christineg8151]

@@loriki8766 Honey is super-saturated, so you need less of it than you need sugar. (Usually about 2/3 c honey for every cup of sugar.) You'd also want to adjust other liquids, if possible.

[@amyrobinson3119]

You make me so happy! 🐚🥥🪽

[@moxiedawn4370]

Yes, it's the shorter days that cause the slowdown in egg production, and also their bodies usually go through molting during fall, and that seems to be more of a focus than egg production. I suppose spending their energy preparing for winter.

[@itzel1735]

I might use lemon juice and water in the icing instead of milk, to cut the sweetness.

[@pamwatson7327]

Try Lettuce Soup. hmmmmmm my childhood Slovak favorite. wow. Any cream soup add buttermilk like a cup or to taste. chop iceberg lettuce or Romain into thin shreds. it wilts so lots optional: fried crisp bacon pieces. boil til wilts

[@amymikolajczak9464]

Warm lettuce is my top hated thing to eat but this is quite..... intriguing but I cant tell if its in a good way or not haha!

[@bethanytaylor1704]

Patiently waiting for the frozen gummy bear episode!

[@yazarc]

LETTUCE make a really weird recipe today. 😂

[@MariaFleury-s8h]

Hi emmy love your videos 😊

[@imatrini4life]

Interesting concept. I sneak them into my entrees.

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

Interesting 🤔 I have lettuce that's been sitting in my crisper for ages so I must try this. And thanks for mentioning brownies, my favourite bar! 😂😋

[@JackW42]

“Where's the butter?!" :P

[@TheSimArchitect]

I wonder if we can stuff a turkey or another roast with a savory version, now that you mentioned the similarity. 😁

[@Onlythenarrowroad]

Yes. Modify a stuffing or dressing recipe to include lettuce. If you want to use Emmy’s recipe as a version, it would turn out more like a casserole. Just omit sugar and add other ingredients as desired.

[@KyleanaColeman]

Looks good, kind of want to make this!

[@mariakapari]

You are my sweet and funny habit! Thank you🥰

[@avalonsaga]

Ngl I don't see the point in using iceberg lettuce... very nutritional value, and for what? x.x Would be cool to see it done with romaine!

[@Beezer.D.B.]

I wonder if lemon juice would have worked either with or instead of milk in the icing? And personally the bar mix didn’t seem to have enough lettuce in it to have any sway on flavor or texture… maybe slightly on _moist_ -ness. 😄

[@OceanCrazie]

Maybe a close cousin to the carrot cake??? Interesting 🤔🤷‍♀️

[@robylove9190]

Where's the butter?! I think veggies in dessert are awesome. I'm the only one who eats my food so I can add veggies openly.😂

[@markawestern]

Lettuce all break veg together, i guess. I'm excited!

[@love_jana6969]

😅😅

[@briarrose29]

I don’t know why it wouldn’t be good. Most sweets made out of vegetable are

[@joeceretti9098]

If you provide your hens with a natural spectrum fill light you can control their mood and thusly egg laying cycles. Run it control their daylight cycles.

[@ginanotafan1039]

Barbaric. Tampering with nature And stealing eggs from chickens. Animals aren't here to give you their periods or other secretions & esp not their bodes/lives for 10 mins of your taste enjoyment. (I say this to everyone who reads this, not just you.) You can easily "veganize" almost any recipe- or, as I call it, "make it cruety-free."💀💯

[@posercraigkid]

I just saw a video of a guy making a "Pumpion Pie" from 1670. He never really said what it was like. Wanna try it?

[@MrTwanme420]

That's a pretty can. Where did you get it?

[@NorseButterfly]

This was most likely created to get children to consume veggies without knowing they were. A mom or dad probably got fed up with their children not wanting to eat veggies and came up with the recipe. Kids don't care what's in things that taste like dessert!

[@MonographicSingleheadedM-sp2wk]

Greeting Emmy !! 😊

[@DavidFlores-yn7wp]

This reminds me of zucchini bread and how lovely that tastes.

[@heavens.sprawl]

[@gamedrone]

Why is sugar considered to be a "wet" ingredient?

[@twocvbloke]

Well there's another way to sneak veg into someone's diet... :P

[@loriallen2877]

Maybe using an electric mixer would have made it a little smoother, especially the sugar and oil mixture.

[@shamarrad]

My husband called it a salad.

[@dagnolia6004]

yum

[@lowballmama6775]

I'm wandering if it has the texture and taste of a carrot cake 🤔?

[@Miapetdragon69]

Here reminds me of something they would have done during the depression you know during world war I or world war II as a treat for children when you didn't have a lot of food to go around

[@Isobel-el3ye]

Too much sugar and too many eggs for it to be wartime, or post war. There was rationing until the early 50s.

Sweet lettuce... 🤨 I wonder if you could do with other lightly flavored veggies?

[@teri2466]

Maybe you mix the lettuce into the flour because that's where the salt is? To pull the moistness 😂 out of the lettuce?

Did you put the almonds in? You had se them aside.

Yes, the walnuts were the last ingredient added.

The title is really offputting, but like you said, I can’t imagine one cup of lettuce tastes like much in that mix.

[@matthewwhittington-jk9ep]

[@richardsymes1844]

Sounds like a recipe invented by a disgruntled lettuce farmer in response to the popularity of carrot cake

[@dons6570]

That’s a baked salad😂

[@garjonalpha]

So, you're not developing the gluten that I can tell. You may be able to make this keto by switching for Almond Flour, and switching out the sweetener in the glaze.

I'm 59 years old. I have never understood this thing some people have with the word 'moist'. It's just a word, it is a great adjective, and very descriptive. I just don't understand this weird vibe or cringe vibe that some people get over this word. There are much worse words honestly. Recipe looks good. I wish it was sugar free, instead of butter free, lol, as I am diabetic.

[@sawtootheyes523]

I am your same age! I feel like some popular or famous person once said they didn't like the word and everybody jumped on the band- wagon. There is nothing wrong with “ moist “ ! And why is the word “ damp “ just fine?

[@robylove9190]

I'm in my 70s and I have thought that moist is a very nice sounding word. And, there are times that nothing else fits as well as moist does

[@teri2466]
