Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 Hi Ellen, Thanks for sending this. Even though I'm not a mother (I'm a dad who works at home with mom and the kids) I laughed and cried when I read this. I can so relate to what you are saying here.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 WHOLE WHEAT BANANA MUFFINS Courtesy of Kim Savage 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1/4 cup wheat germ 1 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup chopped nuts (opt) 1/4 cup oil 1/2 cup honey 3/4 tsp vanilla 1 cup mashed banana 1 egg, lightly beaten Preheat oven to 350. Combine dry ingredients, including nuts. Combine wet ingredients and stir into dry mixture until thoroughly combined. This will make a thick batter. Spoon into greased muffin tin. Bake about 20 minutes... depends on size of muffins. I only use wheat flour (or other whole grain) in all my cooking and baking. My family doesn't like the taste of white breads anymore. --- MILLET CHEESECAKE Courtesy of Milly Cannino OATMEAL CINNAMON CRUST 1 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup finely ground almonds, walnuts, pecans or sesame seeds 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla 3 tbs maple syrup or honey 1/4 cup apple sauce 1 tbs concentrated orange juice In large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Mix well. In smaller bowl combine wet ingredients. Carefully add wet to dry ingredients without over-mixing. Press firmly into sides and bottom of a 9 or 10-inch pie plate. Bake in 350 oven for 9 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool before filling. FILLING 1/2 cup millet, uncooked 2 cups water 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 cup unsalted cashews 1/3 cup lemon juice, fresh squeezed is best 1 tsp grated lemon rind, optional 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey 1 tsp vanilla In saucepan, place millet, water and salt. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes, until water is absorbed and millet is soft. Meanwhile, in blender or food processor, add all remaining filling ingredients. Puree for about 1 minutes, until perfectly smooth. Scrape down sides if necessary. When cooked millet is still warm, add it to blender mixture. Process for about 1 minute, until creamy and smooth. You may have to stop blender and push mixture down with a rubber spatula and stir to blend. Pour into cooked pie shell. Chill. TOPPING: 1/4 cup tapioca flour 2 cups pineapple juice 2-3 cups berries or sliced fruit (strawberries, kiwis, peaches, plum, etc.) fresh or frozen 1/2 tsp. vanilla Dissolve tapioca in pineapple juice in a saucepan. Add the fruit and vanilla. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until mixture boils and tapioca thickens and fruit is tender. Cool and spread over cheesecake or spoon over wedges when served. Yields 5 cups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
