Forever For His Glory

So, in our quest to eat foods that are good for us, we came across this recipe (well... I did tweak it a little bit). And OH! These are the best good-for-you oatmeal cookies I think I've ever had! Unlike most cookies where you eat two and immediately have a sugar over-load, these are so good for you, you can eat them like snacks. Seriously. I double this recipe and it lasts us a whole three days . And there's only three of us. I dare you to try them... you'll never go back to regular cookies again. :-) Awesome Oatmeal Cookies Dry Ingredients: 1 cup organic whole wheat flour 2 cups organic oats (any oats are okay) 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 3 Tbs. organic cinnamon (We love cinnamon. You can add less if you want). 1/2 tsp. organic nutmeg 1 tsp. organic ginger a pinch of cayenne pepper (I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but it actually works in this recipe.) 1 Tbs Chia seeds (optional) 1/2 cup sunflower seeds (optional) We...

Our family loves sweet bread's. A lot. But, given a choice between Spice Bread or Pumpkin Bread , it's pretty hard to choose between them . They're both so delicious! You'll just have to try them both out and see which one you like best. ;)  3 cups organic whole wheat flour 1 1/4 cup raw honey 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 tsp. organic cinnamon 1 tsp. organic ginger 1/2 tsp. organic nutmeg 1 1/3 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup organic coconut oil or organic olive oil 3 eggs 1 Tbs. organic molasses (optional, but it makes the bread more moist) Blend all ingredients in large bowl. Batter may be too wet so add up to 1/2 cup more flour. It is better that the batter be too wet and have to cook longer, then too dry. Grease and flour one 8" round pan or two 8" x 5" loaf pans. Bake on 310 ° or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!

It's delicious. 'Nuff said. Delectably moist with just the right amount of spices, its definitely my favorite bread to make and eat. Especially after playing volleyball for several hours. You know you want some..... Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread Ingredients: 15 oz pumpkin puree 4 fresh eggs 1 cup organic extra virgin olive oil (you can use any type of olive oil you want, we use this because it's organic. Surprisingly, it doesn't alter the flavor.) 1 1/4 cup organic sucanat (or whatever good-for-you sugar I have at the moment - sometimes I use half sucanat and half honey) 1 Tbs. raw honey (omit if using honey as sweetener) 3 1/2 cup organic whole wheat flour (or spelt flour) 2 tsp. baking soda 1 1/2 tsp. salt 2 tsp. organic cinnamon 2 tsp. organic nutmeg 1/2 tsp. organic ginger 2 tsp. organic vanilla 1 Tbs. organic molasses Preheat oven to 310 degrees. Grease and flour two 4 x 8 bread pans. Mix pumpkin, eggs, oil, sucanat, molasses and raw honey in...

So, I've been wanting to make some cookies for a while, but we had too much food in the house. Can you imagine it!? We had too much food! It made me think about all the people in the third world countries that hardly have a bowl of rice a day... We had recently bought some ginger-snap cookies, and infused with the spicy ginger flavor, I thought I'd try this recipe: Gingery Oatmeal Molasses Cookie; hoping that it would sorta be like ginger-snaps. They weren't; they were in their own ball-park! According to my mom, "They taste like cookie granola bars". They were very soft and chewy, so don't make these if you want something crunchy. ;) I love chewy cookies, so they are great for me! I think I'll have to find another recipe for my mom and brother, though.... they're ginger-snap fanatics.... Also, they weren't very sweet, since the molasses is the only sweetener. Perfect if you want a "cookie snack", as we call them around here. ;) ...
