Yummy in my Tummy Tuesday

Do you remember when I got my Wheat Grinder last summer. I was nervous that using my fresh wheat would mean I would have to give up my yummy cookies. I was so mistaken. This recipe came from the BreadBeckers cook book. The recipe is so simple and I love it because any time I can add flax I do. This is the recipe tripled: 3 cups butter 7.5 cups soft milled white flour 3 c sucanat w/ honey 3 cups sucanat 6 eggs 1 Tablespoon vanilla 3 cups oatmeal 1.5 cups flax seed 3 teaspoon baking soda 3 teaspoon baking powder 1.5 teaspoon salt 4.5 cups unsweetened coconut (I never add it) 4.5 cups chocolate chips or combination of what I am in the mood for. 1. combine butter, sucanat w/honey, and sucanat until you have a mixture 2. add eggs and vanilla 3. mix dry ingredients and stir together 4. add coconut and chocolate chips 5. bake 350 for 10 minutes. Really it seems to take about 13 minutes for me. YUMMY! Pamela

Miscellany Monday

What a week. This week we spent a couplepf days working on a quilt with my daughter. She got the material for Christmas and helped me put it together. I love that she wanted a quilt for Christmas. I love that she wanted to help make it and spend time with me. I am trying to get more fruits into my diet. The other day I left the grocery store with banana's and chocolate. I chose the banana. Sadly I had to work hard to get that banana open. I always gave up and had the chocolate. Pamela

How Do Your Children Learn

Do you ever wonder if what you are teaching your children is sticking? I wonder if they are even listening. The other day we went to the Living Museum. The lady let the kids touch the starfish. She wanted to tell them all about the star fish but before she could Jason told her about how each leg has eyes on it. How do your children learn? How do you encourage them to learn? Pamela

What does cinnamon +applesauce equal

I would like to give you a exact recipe but really we just kept adding things until I got the right conistancy. I would say a cup of cinnamon (I buy at Sam's Club) and 1/2 cup applesauce. Mix ingredients together until it can be rolled out about 1/4 inch thick Make sure you put a whole in the ornament using a toothpick. Bake for about 20 minutes at 200 degrees or you could just leaving them lay out for a couple of days. Pamela
