Biscotti

This is a very old recipe and one of my favorites.  Erin used to make this at Christmas (she was quite good at it) then we would dip 3/4 of each cookie in chocolate. I got this recipe from the Bevalaquas who we met in Boston when Dan was in school.  They ended up moving into our ward in AZ without knowing we were there...kinda cool.

Pork Tenderloin

Blender Whole Grain Pancakes

These are super easy, super healthy, and super yummy.  They're a good way to use your wheat. 1 c. milk (3 Tblsp. dry powdered milk + 1 c. water) 1 c. wheat kernels, whole & uncooked 2 eggs (2 Tblsp. dry powdered eggs + 1/4 c water) 2 tsp. baking powder 1 1/2 tsp. salt 2 Tblsp. oil 2 Tblsp. honey or sugar Put milk and wheat kernels in blender.  Blend on highest speed for 4 or 5 minutes or until batter is smooth.  Add eggs, oil, baking powder, alt and honey or sugar to bove batter.  Blend on low.  Pour out batter into pancakes from the actual blender jar onto a hot grease or Pam prepared griddle or large frying pan.  Cook; flipping pancakes when bubbles pop begin to form.
