Finally, I'm back with a food post! Before I begin,
to all of you that left kind and congratulatory wishes on my last post, I thank you and appreciate your sentiments. Life is still a bit rocky day to day with baby adjustments, but it's time for a food update, so let's get going!
This is a new cookie recipe, and it's kinda' special - at least
imo! Special because they are flour-less (no wheat, spelt, or barley flour) and are made without sugar (they
do have brown rice syrup and maple syrup, but no unrefined sugar). (*Okay, I sometimes include a sprinkling of carob chips, but you may omit those if you so choose!) These cookies also have nut butter (or you can use a seed butter),
ground salba, dried fruit, and coconut oil.
With all these nutritionally superb ingredients,
and because they aren't as sweet as dessert cookies, I've named these
Breakfast Cookies.
And, really, these cookies
can be part of a busy morn' breakfast. Why not, when you're eating so many healthful ingredients? Maybe start with a green smoothie, and after a couple of these cookies, you'll be powered up for the morning!
I love that our girls don't realize just how healthy these cookies are when they munch on one. For them, simply a cookie... for mom, a nutritional big-hitter disguised as a treat!
When I took recipe requests many months ago, I had some serious pleading for meatloaf recipes. Surprising to me, because I had thought that the veggie meatloaf recipe had been done - and then done again. But, I realized that most of these veg versions included soy of some form... be it tofu, tempeh, tvp, or veggie ground round. So, I decided to concoct a very healthy, and soy-free (for soy-allergic or sensitive folks) version. This one uses lentils and bulgur as the base, and also includes seed butter and salba (or flax). Plenty of nutritional biggies in this one!
So, are others out there looking for similar recipes?... hearty dishes like "meatloaf" but not using soy products? Also, can someone please offer up a decent name for this recipe (& one that doesn't use the word "meat") ?!! :)
