Equipment

  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 Bowl
  • Wax or Parchment paper
  • 1 Cookie Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 3/4 Cups 100% Whole Wheat Flour (Better results use 3 3/4 Cups Einkorn Flour and Skip Almond Flour)
  • 1 Cup Almond Flour
  • 1 Cup Olive or Avocado Oil (Best results use Coconut Oil with EinKorn Flour)

  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda

Instructions
 

  • In a Saucepan, cook Honey and Olive or Avocado Oil together until it reaches the boiling point.
  • Sift then whisk together Flour, Baking Soda and Spices (Heaping teaspoon) until no streaks remain. Add sufficient Flour to the Honey and Oil mixture to make a soft Dough (about 3 3/4 cups).
  • Note : If Dough seems to sticky, add a Tablespoon of Flour at a time. If Dough seems to dry or dense, add a Tablespoon of Almond Milk until Dough is of a good consistency
  • Form the Dough into thin rolls, wrap in Wax or Parchment Paper and chill thoroughly in the Refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Slice into 1/8 inch thick slices and Bake in a preheated 375 Degree F Oven for about 10 minutes – I slice 1/2 inch thick and Bake for about 13 minutes or until done.
  • Variation: Add Raisins, Craisins, copped Dates, or Nuts ( about 1 cup ) if desired. Vanilla or finely grated Citrus Peels may be added for extra flavor.

Water, Wonderful Water :)

WATER, WONDERFUL WATER 

Here we go on Justine’s Journey :). Think will start with the beverage til a few years ago I said NO thank you to… ! You guessed it, Water .  When I was growing up, a treat from my Mama Callie and Aunt Goldie was a Coke a Cola .  When I became an adult my choice was to drink ONLY Coke a Cola . Yes, for breakfast and lunch and dinner and any other time .  Started trying to go off Coke a Cola (10-18-2015) 🙂  Close to 9 months later I tried having water with lunch (7-28-2016) . I basically substituted Coke a Cola with juices. Started cutting back on juices 1-21-16. Went off orange and pineapple juices about 9 months later (10-17-2016) 🙂  I also tried drinking more water with homemade lemonade sweetened with honey for supper .  It wasn’t till around mid May 2018 that went to all water 🙂  This push happen when Doug and I started LT360 and needed to count calories .  As you can see just drinking water has been a struggle ! You would think having kidney stones twice would turn a light bulb on ?  Oh, when started drinking more water had to check out where bathrooms were !  When first started drinking just water, was getting up 15 times a night .    I am not “hydrated” by LT360 as still have more fat to lose .   Sooo much improved 🙂  LT360 suggest drinking 1/2 your weight in water 🙂  I drink 2 cups more as suggested by my doctor 🙂 Let me tell if you do not have a strategy for drinking your water time can slip by you .  I try and drink a bottle of water after breakfast and then after lunch and so on 🙂  Also have found if you finish drinking your water a couple of hours before bed you go less ! 🙂 Happy Hydrating 🙂
