1/2 cup organic peanut butter (I prefer smooth)
3/4 cup organic sucanat
1/3 cup honey
1 flax seed "egg" http://talesofanewbornvegan.blogspot.com/2010/12/good-egg-replacer-recipe-flax-meal.html
1/2 tsp. organic, fair trade vanilla
3 1/2 cup organic regular oats**
1/4 cup spelt flour
1 cup mini organic vegan chocolate chips (I prefer Enjoy Life because they're soy-free too!)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a 9 x 13 pan.
Cream peanut butter, sucanat and honey together until light and fluffy. Blend in "egg" and vanilla. Mix in oats and chocolate chips.
Bake 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 mins. Cut and let cool completely or refridgerate for 1 hour. Remove from pan and store in airtight container.
Notes:
1. Original recipe called for 1 cup butter so if you need nut-free, that is a possibility. Haven't tried coconut oil yet in place of peanut butter, but it could be done with a slight decrease in the amount.
2. Original recipe called for quick oats. If you use quick oats, eliminate the 1/4 cup spelt flour.
3. You can do any add-ins you want. If you change from peanut butter to another oil, these would be great with raisins, dried cranberries, dark chocolate chips, or any other combinations of dried fruit and nuts you like.
**These are included in the gluten-free catagory for people that are gluten-sensitive but can tolerate oats**

Sourdough Waffles
Yes...waffles!!
1 1/4 cup organic flour of choice (mine is white spelt)
2 tsp. aluminum free baking powder
1/4 tsp. aluminum free baking soda (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 Tbsp. organic or raw sugar of choice (rapadura, sucanat, honey or maple syrup)
1 flax seed "egg" http://talesofanewbornvegan.blogspot.com/2010/12/good-egg-replacer-recipe-flax-meal.html
1 cup sourdough starter
1/4 cup organic oil of choice (melted coconut or canola)
3/4 cup organic milk of choice (coconut, almond or rice)
Preheat waffle iron. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine sourdough starter, oil and milk. Combine the wet and dry ingredients together until moistened. Do not over mix!
Pour 1/4-1/2 cup of batter (whatever works for your waffle iron best) on the hot waffle iron and remove when the machine says it's ready.
Makes about 4 servings. For my family of 6, I could easily triple this recipe for one meal. We have a flip, Belgian waffle maker and they eat them as fast as I can make them. Leftovers can always be refrigerated or frozen and reheated later.
Eat with small amount of soy-free Earth Balance spread and organic, Grade B maple syrup. My family also likes these with strawberry yogurt and sliced bananas on top. Still trying to figure out how to make homemade coconut milk yogurt for myself!

Sourdough Bread Starter
I'm including this under the gluten free section, because it is possible to make it for "gluten sensitive" people that can tolerate spelt.
The starter is simple!
Take a glass bowl with a tight fitting lid and mix together:
2 cups lukewarm milk
2 cups flour of choice (I started with unbleached organic white)
2 1/2 tsp (one pkg.) yeast
Mix this with an electric (even hand held!) mixer on the lowest setteing. Cover and place in a warm, draft-free location for 4-7 days, gently stirring it once a day.
And that's it!
At the end of this time period, when it is good and bubbly and has a good "sour" smell to it, use a minimum of one cup and "feed" the rest of the starter. Then place it in the refrigerator.
How to "feed" your starter??
Mix together the starter (always using a NON-metal utensil!). The liquid has probably separated, so mix it all back in. Remove 1 cup of the starter for your recipe. Then add 1 cup flour and 1 cup water to the starter. Stir this in well and let sit one day at room temperature. Then refrigerate until ready to use.
If at any time you don't want to use 1 cup of the starter at least once a week, just take out 1 cup, dispose of it and feed like usual. Also, if you're ever going on vacation or can't be home to use the starter within one week's time, you can freeze it, then thaw it out when you return home and proceed as usual.
Then only time your starter may have "gone wrong" and need to be disposed is if it changes color...like purple.
**As I said, I started with unbleached organic white flour. But I've always fed it with spelt. In just a few weeks time, you can convert your starter just by switching the flour you use for feeding.**
Another disclaimer- I have never left my starter sitting out for 1 day after feeding. I've always put it straight back into the refrigerator and I've never had difficulty with using it.
I'll enter recipes as I use the starter. Sourdough tastes great and is excellent for your digestive health. Enjoy!

Something Scary, but True!
Had a friend recently post this YouTube video on her Facebook page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe-CxnU-hFE
The speaker doesn't really share anything that I didn't already know. The problem for our family now is implementation...on a tight budget!
Some examples of changes we've already made:
1. No more tap water!
We've been refilling water bottles at any available source (usually Meijer or Wal-Mart) for about 7 years now. And now, we've even purchased a counter top water distiller. While I'm confident that removing the chlorine and fluoride from our drinking water (not to mention bacteria, lead and pharmaceuticals) is one of the best things we've ever done for our health, you can't always control this completely.
Just in the few years since we've made this change, a LOT has come out about toxins released in plastic bottles and metal bottles also contaminating your pure water that you're drinking. I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to take a glass bottle or cup to drink from when I'm out running errands or going for the day to an amusement park, etc. Plus, if you go out to eat anywhere (at least here in Northern Kentucky where we live), you're most likely going to be given tap water to drink when you request it.
My solution- They're pricey, but we're buying Klean Kanteens for each member of the family. Do your research, there may be cheaper brands that are just as good, but what you put your clean water in is just as important as the quality of water. Also, the counter top distiller price of around $300 seems steep. But the amount of money we were spending on refilling water from the machines at grocery stores (which honestly from their cleaning records visible on the machines are sometimes months behind in cleaning and maintenance!) was about $350 a year. The distiller saves us money within the first year!
Here's some links to these products:
http://www.amazon.com/Kanteen-27-Ounce-Classic-Stainless-Bottle/dp/B0010EMTU4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302005542&sr=8-1
http://www.amazon.com/Waterwise-4000-Water-Steam-Distiller/dp/B002DQCMY6/ref=sr_1_cc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1302005594&sr=1-2-catcorr
2. GIVE UP THE POP!
Honestly, this is one we're still working on. There's something about that fizzy drink when you're eating out somewhere or with certain foods that we just can't quite overcome! YET, we have completely given up diet drinks and when we buy some for a treat at the store, we buy Hansen's with natural cane sugar or Sierra Mist which is now also with sugar only. (no High Fructose Corn Syrup) Additionally, if we eat out somewhere, we can easily pay an extra $10 just for drinks!
Why is this so difficult to give up even though it's costly?? Exactly as the video says...it's addictive. I regret ever letting my kids have pop...now it's too hard to say no!
A solution we're working toward: In my plan for transition this year, I'm going to be purchasing some water kefir cultures within the next month. [The delay is due to my work schedule. When tax season is over, I'll have more time for this kind of stuff.] Water kefir produces a "fizzy" water that is full of great digestive bacterial cultures and you can add fruit juices or whole fruits to it for flavor. You can also adjust the sweetness by the amount of additional sugar you add. So we can start out fairly sweet and over time, reduce that sugar intake. My plan is to juice our own lemons and limes (which we can get fairly cheap) for a Sierra Mist alternative. Or my husband has made his own ginger ale a few times too.

3. No more fluoride!
Again, easier said than done. When you can get a tube of Colgate at the store for $1 or less and Tom's of Maine costs $4 or more and you have four kids (+ 2 adults) brushing their teeth at least twice a day...this one is difficult to do! Also, even if I successfully remove all fluoride from our home, I take them to the dentist and what does the hygienist do? Gives them a fluoride treatment!! [Don't even get me started on amalgam (mercury filled) fillings!]
Yes, I'm looking for a holistic dentist. But I'm fairly certain our insurance won't pay for one. And when you live at two times below the poverty level for a family of 6, money for a holistic dentist just doesn't compete with putting food on the table (or now, gas in the car when it's almost $4 a gallon!)
***Funny side note--just noticed the first three letters of fluoride spell FLU!***
My solution (again...still working toward for the family):
I make my own toothpaste and have been for about 3 months. If you just google "homemade toothpaste", you'll find lots of sites. I've even adjusted mine from my original recipe. It's very easy to make and the savings over natural brands is huge. So I won't go into a lot of detail here about the recipe other than to put your concerns at ease. Every recipe I've found uses three basic ingredients...coconut oil, baking soda, and essential oil.
Coconut oil- has natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties. This stuff will not mold in the container even with touching my toothbrush to it everyday. Granted I am making just about the equivalent of one tube of toothpaste each time so it lasts only about 4-6 weeks per recipe.
Baking soda- Use aluminum free only. You don't want to eliminate the health benefits by scrubbing your gums with Alzheimer's causing aluminum byproducts! Also gives my teeth that dentist clean feeling every time I brush.
Essential Oil- Actually not essential to the recipe! I've made my toothpaste with just some peppermint flavoring (a few drops) before I had the oil. Use any flavor you want, I prefer peppermint, but you don't even really need it. If you're worried about bad breath, then go for it. Honestly, since I gave up meat, coffee and dairy, I don't have bad breath anymore!
4. Eliminating Aspartame, High Fructose Corn Syrup and Genetically-Modified Foods (GMO)!
Even if you can't afford to buy organics/natural foods, just avoiding convenience foods (like box potatoes and other box mixes) will go a long way toward eliminating these from your diet.
My solution:
Bake and cook at home from scratch as much as possible...difficult to do in our busy culture. But I'm convinced slowing down and taking the time is one of the best things you can do for your health!
5. Other stuff mentioned in this video:
I'm not even addressing the milk and meat hormones because I don't use either. But for my family, I only buy organic or for milk we actually use coconut or almond milk now. Yes, this means meat is more of a treat ...not a necessity. The Simply Delicious coconut milk is even organic! http://www.sodeliciousdairyfree.com/products/product.php?p=so_delicious_beverage_hg_original If you click Like on FB for So Delicious, you also get links to great recipes that others have posted on the Internet.
6. Other stuff not mentioned in the video:
Deodorants with aluminum- Naturals are too expensive with 5 of us now using it. I'm in the process of converting to homemade. Again...lots of recipes on the web for these. Best thing I've done is give up meat and dairy! I've experimented and can actually go up to three days without deodorant. The key is what I eat. The minute I have something fried (Usually my weakness is fast-food fries...probably fried in oil laced with lard or other meat byproducts. Yuck!) or something with dairy in it, I begin to smell. I know, TMI...but true!
This also leads to the next one. Keeping my insides cleansed- God made our bodies with an amazing capacity for healing. I've done colon cleanses for years but only began to feel healed internally when I discovered the Gerson Therapy. I hope to blog more about this soon. But the thing to remember is...if my insides are backed up with the SAD food (Standard American Diet) that we all consume, how can my body heal with all of that poison inside? Again...this is an entire post by itself so I'll come back to this later.
Bottom line- While watching things like this or other documentaries I've seen (A Beautiful Truth, Food Inc, The Gerson Therapy, Food Matters, Super Size Me) can make me scared or lose hope that the task of healthy living is impossible because we're being sabotaged...the Truth is that the God who created our bodies knows exactly what we need and how to heal us. And the magnificent thing that He provided...again, before we ever knew we needed it...was a plethora of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains that contain everything we need for health and healing.
While you're doing your research and changing your ways...ask Him what changes He wants you to make. After all, He's the One that has told us to "run the race" and He's the Great Physician as well as Counselor. Doesn't it stand to reason that the Creator knows what's best for the creation?
Have peace and know that He is God!

A Great Vegan Slow Cooker Website
It's been awhile since I've posted, but life is slowing down and I hope to get back to it really soon. In the meantime, I wanted to post a link to a site for some new recipes that at least a few of my family love.
I have two that LOVE banana peanut butter sandwiches...fried is best (they say!). My daughter, Rebekah, had one at Graceland when she was 4 and has loved this sandwich ever since. She doesn't get it that often, so I was happy to discover Slow Cooker Vegan Elvis Oatmeal- The "Don't Be Cruel Oatmeal"
http://healthyslowcooking.com/2011/02/18/slow-cooker-vegan-elvis-oatmeal-the-dont-be-cruel-oatmeal/
I left off the vegan bacon bits, because frankly, that sounds disgusting and the sandwiches Dale & Bekah had at Graceland didn't include bacon anyway. But they both love this oatmeal. Peruse the website...there are tons of others to try.
We've also had the PB&J Oatmeal...also a huge hit! Admittedly, I have to add a little more sweetener than is recommended, but hopefully my sweet tooth will diminish someday.
