Tidbits...

Well, I'm headed upstairs to soak some oatmeal for breakfast. Sorry that all I'm talking about is oatmeal these days! Grains are my top priority right now, although with Christmas coming, it's going to be tough. There are so many traditional, family recipes that I just don't know how to make healthy. So we'll see what the week holds!

I'm also going to start soaking a little wheat tonight. If I keep wheat soaking all week, by the weekend I should have a sizeable amount to use in Christmas recipes. That's the plan, anyway! :-)

A great recipe blog I found tonight:

A wonderful catalog I received in the mail this week:

'Til next time,

Yummy pancakes from leftover oatmeal

Well, I'm not a very good photographer, but I thought you'd enjoy seeing these little pancakes we made from leftover porridge. Put two or three cups of porridge in a bowl, add 4-5 eggs, then fry spoonfuls of this batter in butter or coconut oil. Serve with maple syrup. Yum!

My kids really love this quick and easy version of pancakes. Plus, if I use oatmeal that has been soaked overnight before preparing, well, it's just healthier. Why? Read more about soaked grains at the Weston Price website.

Enjoy!
