Chewy Oatmeal Cookies:

3/4 tsp soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3/4 cup butter (shortening can be used)
1 1/3 cup sucanat (suger cane natural) brown sugar can be used
1/2 tsp salt
2 medium eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup raisins ground to a paste
Sift flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg into a bowl. Add shortening, sugar, eggs and vanilla; beat until smooth. Stir in oats and raisins. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen.

*Ezekial flour recipe:
2 1/2 cups wheat
1 1/2 cup spelt
1/2 cup barley
1/4 cup lentils
2 Tbsp northern beans or 1/4 cup garbanzo beans
2 Tbsp kidney beans
2 Tbsp pinto beans

We use this Ezekial flour for most of our baking needs. The beans can be substituted with others of like consistency and flavor with no adverse effect in flavor.

Those sound yummy! Thanks for the sucanat definition. Helpful!

Mind telling us where you are, Jared? Approximately?

Mind telling us where you are, Jared? Approximately?

A little town called Dietrich, Idaho. According to Idaho power, Shoshone, which is 8 miles away, has 2000+ customers affected. Jerome, which is about 40 minutes away, has about 3000+ customers affected. Twin Falls, has about 5000+ customers affected.

This is a serious storm.

Sorry, I failed to mention that the map is constantly updating. My information may be out of date.

My son and daughter in law are flying out from Florida on Saturday. This will be a first for it to be colder here in AZ for them. You (and they) have had a warm "winter" while we've had an unusually cold one. Lately it's warmed up to 70s. Supposed to hit 80 in a few days (finally!).

Been baking in anticipation of their arrival...
- homemade granola bars
- sour cream cookies
- french silk pie (the recipe with the raw eggs)
- turtle pie

Have a nice visit!

OK, this is getting ridiculous.

Stay Safe!

We have a flood watch here until Saturday. We are not in a local flooding area so we should be safe.

Morning Home Bakers thinking of making a spice cake today.
We are dry.

Sounds great.
