Well it has been a while since I have last posted .We have been very busy,and have had my sister and her three kids here with us so you can imagine how it can be with 6 kids ages 9 to 1 1/2.I think I lived in my kitchen all week between cooking and cleaning up,plus I have been learning to sprout and do more of the raw foods so you will be hearing about my ventures in all things healthy as well as getting recipes.The recipe I did today was basically gluten-free and held together nicely.I prepared the dough last night and added the yogurt and baked them today that way they would be soaked without affecting the recipes.I also baked bread with the soaked wheat and left out the water in the recipe to accomodate and it rose beautifully even though there was no white flour in it.It does make your bread less heavy and seems to digest better.We are all eating our cultured vegetables and I really enjoy them,but the kids are still getting used to eating them.I told them they would get a dollar a week for eating them daily and drinking their carrot-celery juice.They do it for the money now,but I know that starting the habit now will make it easier for them when they are older.They have been so good lately I feel so proud.We go to the parks alot to relax and get away,from town life.I can't wait to live in the country again.I took a few pictures of the kids,you can see their personalities in them.The bottom picture is our picnic in the living room with a movie.The kids love it.
