WHEAT CAKES

Well, I had to share my recipe that I did this morning because according to my 3 year old (at the time), it is "oh nummy.....dewishess mommy".......and that was plain....with absolutely nothing on it!  These are amazing and keep well!

Wheat Cakes (Pancakes or Waffles)

• 1 1/3 C. Whole Wheat Flour
• 3 t. Baking Powder
• 3 T. Sugar
• 3/4 t. Salt
• 3 Eggs
• 1 1/4 C. Milk
• 3 T. Unsalted Butter, Melted

Stir together dry ingredients.  Combine eggs and milk, then stir into dry ingredients along with melted butter, mixing only until blended.

For lighter cakes, eggs may be separated and stiffly beaten egg whites folded into batter just before baking.

Bake on lightly greased griddle until golden brown, then turn. 

Eat plain, as is........or put fresh fruit and a touch of powdered sugar or however you want!


Makes 12 - 4 in pancakes at 3 PP a piece
-or-
Makes 5 (use the 3/4 measuring cup) - Waffles (I have a commercial waffle maker) at 7 PP a piece.

BIG BREAKFAST COOKIES

So......it is Saturday night again and we have early morning church and with our 3 little ones, sometimes it is really rushed to get breakfast in.  Well, I found a solution that works for all of us!  They got good reviews from my taste testers, so I wanted to share.  They are SO quick and easy to make, filling, big, and best of all......they taste good!!  We call them.....

Big Breakfast Cookies
Makes 13 Cookies at 7 PP each.

• 1 1/3 C. Brown Sugar, packed
• 1 6oz Yo-plait Original 99% Fat Free Yogurt (I used Blueberry)
•  1 1/2 t. Vanilla
• 1/2 C. Water
• 2 T. Cornstarch
• 3/4 t. Baking Soda
• 1/2 t. Salt
• 1/2 t. Cinnamon, ground
• 1/4 t. Cloves, ground
• 3/4 C. Whole Wheat Flour
• 3 C. Rolled Oats
• 1 C. Raisins
• 1 C. Grape Nuts

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Blend the brown sugar, yogurt, vanilla, and water.

Fold in the remaining ingredients.  Your dough should be thick.

Use your 1/3 cup measuring cup (you will need to use a spoon to put the cookie dough in the measuring cup) and put the dough on the cookie sheet and flatten a little or alot....either way works.

Bake the cookies until they are browned and set when you touch them.....about 15 minutes.

Cool them on the baking sheets for 15 minutes before you take them off.

Fresh TOMATO PIE

We were SO happy when this came out of the oven and tasted as good as it looked!!  You do want to eat it right away though......it will keep in the fridge, but we thought it tasted better fresh!  This is BY FAR a FAVORITE at our home!!!
