Organic Cheerios crispies

Organic products will not keep long they don’t have any preservatives in them so when my Cheerios begin to bed a bit stale I decided I better do something fast because they cost a lot of money.
I made these marshmallow treats for snacks evening meals morning breakfasts are on the go or share with neighbors. I don’t share my good food with my neighbors like this I’m stingy It’s a good idea if you have the money.I am what I am thrifty. Enjoy,
You ould add more butter to this 
Or marshmallows.

Whole Wheat Bread Pudding

Whole Wheat Bread Pudding
· ¾ cup butter
· 20 slices of bread
· 1 ½ cups sugar + 2 Tbs.
· ½ tsp. cinnamon
· ½ tsp nutmeg
· 1 Tbs. vanilla
· ¼ tsp salt
· 6 cups milk
· ¾ cup raisins (or nutmeats)

I love a good bread pudding and have been looking for a recipe that could use all my left-over whole wheat bread that’s heavier and had a strong enough flavor with a great taste. You can use the complex high fibrous breads or even fancy breads with this recipe.
Note, below: Cut back on the spices (1/2 to ¼) if necessary or if you don’t like cinnamon i.e. on the quick bread pudding recipe. This quick bread recipe is a mocked pumpkin pie recipe as presented. We need to cut back on sugar and I felt the original recipe had too much sugar. It’s a good idea for all older recipes. I collect the recipes that are simple, proven classic and cheaper!
...........................................
1. Preheat oven broiler. Butter one side of each slice of bread and place buttered side up under broiler and toast – watch carefully. Cool on wire rack. Cut bread into triangles and arrange in two 8x8 inch pans. Sprinkle with 2 Tbs. sugar and set aside.
In a large bowl beat eggs, remaining sugar, spices salt and vanilla until smooth, about 3 minutes. Scald milk and with mixer on low add the milk in a steady stream.
When blended, add raisins pour over bread, allowing time for the brad to soak up milk mixture. (Better over night in fridge) Bake in hot water bath for 40+ minutes at 400 degrees. It should puff up and absorbs all the liquids.
How long depends on the depth and length of baking pan. If using w/w bread cover except for the last 5-10 min. when baking. You want it brown because toasting the bread give the topping a delightful crunch.
..................................................
Quicker smaller amount... WW Bread Pudding
I am sometime in a hurry and use this quicker recipe of this. Method: I always half the above recipe to ¼ cup of butter, 10 slices of bread that I don’t toast, ¾ to 1 cup of sugar, 3 cups of milk, 4 eggs and ¼ cup of raisins & nuts, 1/4 tbs. cinnamon and, nutmeg 1/2 Tbs vanilla, 1/8 tsp salt. Everything else is the same measurement and directions in the recipe. Whisk in the 3 cup scalded milk (optional to scald) add to it all the other ingredients, including melting the butter into the mixture. Hold back on the eggs till milk mixture is cooled then beat in the eggs and pour all of it over the bread. Top or add in with raisins and nutmeats. Following the directions above, when the bread absorbs all the liquids (overnight in fridge) bake till it puffs up and has a dark brown crust. (Knife should also come out clean.)
Top with cool whip or a light frosting (with ½ whip cream (mix) then add to a bought cream cheese) making it a light frosting. It also good plain or use a vanilla ice cream.
The better more complex the whole wheat bread the healthier the recipe. Use non-hormonal organic milk...is a skinny and smart thing to do. Drugs, synthetic hormones are store in the fat. This bread will keep a long time refrigerated.

PEACE AND "PAY IT FORWARD."

Gingerbread

Gingerbread (...instead of fruit cake for the holidays!)
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp ground ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cloves
½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
2/3 cups molasses
2/3 cup milk
Gather all the liquids: In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugars together for about 3 minutes on medium speed.
While you are creaming the butter and sugars together, in a separate bowl combine, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon. Whisk them together to fully combine. Set aside until ready to use.
Measure the milk and molasses together and set aside until ready to use. (I like to heat this mixture just a bit then stir them together.)
Once the butter and sugars are creamed together add the egg and blend thoroughly.
Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk until everything is fully incorporated.
Lightly spray a regular loaf pan with vegetable spray then dust it with flour.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and place in a 350 degree oven for about 1 hour or until a toothpick or dry spaghetti comes out clean.
Serve and enjoy.
Garnish: Cream Cheese frosting with lemon flavoring or just home made whipped cream.

Make Soy Whipped Topping or Salad Dressing

Image result for greek mayo recipe

How To Make Soybean Concentrate to Soy Whipped Topping; Salad Dressing

No fluff folks, just basic's soymilk made in your kitchen. It's a recipe I don't want lost. Yes, there are machines that can no do this soybean milk but what if...? Healthy living life style may for some; mean doing it at home where having control with handling healthy foods is an art. It may be an emergency recipe for some and for others, to have on hand when needed. This is the point for making soymilk; concentrated soymilk or soybean concentrate is the same...only proportions of water are different.

Soybean Concentrate (How to make soymilk) This is from scratch
1 lb. organically grown soybeans
2 kettles boiling water for preheating
7 cups water for soaking
4 1/2 - 5 quarts boiling water for blending. (Use good water)
Sort and measure 2 1/4 cups (1 lb.) unbroken soybeans. Wash and soak in 7
cups of water from 4 - 16 hours. Have ready large kettles of boiling
water.
Drain beans. Sort out beans that have been broken while soaking. Fill top
of blender with hottest water from tap and let stand. Measure 1 1/2 cup
sorted, soaked beans into flat bowl or pan. Set bowl of beans in sink.
Let hottest water from tap fill bowl and continue to run slowly over
beans.
Empty top of blender and fill with boiling water. Drain beans in colander
or strainer. Pour water from blender over beans in strainer. Put hot
beans into hot blender. Cover with 2 cups boiling water. Put lid on
securely place with thick hot pads, or folded towels on top. Cover while
starting blender. Steam may cause water to spurt out. Caution: Do not let
children around while working with boiling water. Blend 2 or 3 minutes at
high speed.
To this point the process for making soymilk, concentrated soymilk or
soybean concentrate is the same...only the proportions of water are
different.
For soybean concentrate, empty the slurry (blended soybeans) into a pan.
If raw concentrate is desired, cool. Refrigerate. If cooked concentrate
is to be used, cook in the top of double boiler over hot water. Then cool
and chill.
To fortify with calcium, add 1/2 tsp. calcium lactate per cup of milk,
concentrate, or cream.

Soy Whipped Topping
1 cup chilled, cooked soy concentrate
Speck of salt
2 Tbs to 1/4 cup chilled oil
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbs. brown sugar, honey, molasses or 2 T. dates
Few drops lactic acid
Measure soymilk and put in blender. Add seasonings. Blend until light
and foamy. Add oil gradually while blending. Add lactic acid, anew
drops...only enough to thicken. Lemon juice may be used but only enough
to thicken.

Soymilk Salad Dressing
1/2-cup mono oil
1/2-cup soymilk
1/4 c lemon juice
2 Tbs sugar (if use honey 1/2 as much)
1 small onion
1/4 tsp. salt
Combine in blender very slowly.

GREAT POPCORN- SNACK

Great Pop Corn Diet (Snack For Dieters) (use coconut butter if popped on top of the stove, which I prefer)
It’s all about adding more fiber and relieving hunger for between meals to compliment any good diet. This will help you to be prepared for those hungry times when you could get into wrong things. And beside the vegetable and fruit with dips we rotate from now and then for variety add in some needed grains with lots of fiber. One suggestion is to include popcorn in your diet every day. Have it plain and you'll never tire as easily.

Nibble all day or/and carry it with you during the day as a pre-breakfast, pre-dinner, pre-lunch your appetite controller and as a mid-evening mini-meal, i.e. This will satisfy your hunger and prevent any panicky, impulsive eating’s. (I eat when I am hungry, small snacks during the day. Don't let your body starve; we, now,  know this puts on weight.)

One of my favorites reads was Diane Thornocks diet book, 2000+ calories. She was correct about her dieting ideas but she got carried away with fads, "Low Fat" and her ideas about too much meats in every meal...by the way she died of cancer (young too) Her books and all those fads diet books are available at thrift stores. Low fat proven out to harm to children’s brain mentally abilities.
Then comes along the zone diet proving by adding the right fats to your diet your mind actually becomes un-fogged and by adding the right fats (omegas) the dieter can actually lose weight better. However, I'm not going to do your research in this area today.

The point I wanted to make with this in mind is its OK to eat, eat, eat, but watch out that it's quality, fibrous, complex organically grown whole grain foods i.e.. That means lots of legumes, fresh fruits and vegetables in all varieties and no chemicals. Even dairy shouldn’t have hormones and etc. (see my dairy pages) You can eat a lot more quality foods, but not in the incorrect areas such as pre-boxed, packaged, pre-prepared and chemically treated, fake sugars, and sodas are all out. Because they don’t meet the first criteria of quality, fresh and seasonal foods then balance it all out with the variety. It’s not quantity so much but the quality. One person said not boxed nor packaged, well it make sense to me for the most part.

Try different brands of popcorn but no GMO corn. It's all accumulative and chemicals and lack of nutrition adds up in our bodies. Bad nutrition will catch up with us all and put on weight because it put the body in a starving mode. It lacks the essentials. So, eat, and be choosy!

Carry popcorn in your purse, in your car, to work, school, movie, sporting events and keep it with you at all times. A plastic zip bag is great and it keeps it fresh and tasty. Add nuts and such if you need a change. If your popcorn doesn't look good and tasty, you're probably not hungry. Therefore you shouldn't eat popcorn or anything else for that matter till you are hungry.

Use Air-Poppers or on top of the stove in a two quart pan with a good tight lid. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the popcorn. Use enough olive oil just covering one layer of popcorn then shake it once in a while and add sea salt. When using sea salt you’ll not need much and add organic butter (no fat hormones which would defeats the whole purpose, or use WF Pam butter spray on top.

Get a paper bag add ¼ cup Organic popcorn, salt and a bit of oil and bingo you have microwave popcorn. Same directions as the store brand bag style, but no chemicals.

Store in a plastic zip locked bag to keep it fresh. Make up enough to last the week, or day. NEVER use the microwave popcorn with too many added chemicals.

Add 1-2 Tb. of water in old UN popped corn and place in fridge to put back its moisture. I prefer the white popcorn with no kernels. Watch out; don't choke on the “old maids.”

This will facilitate clearing out your gastrointestinal tract through healthy regular bowel movements. Take advantage of the dry salty taste and drinking plenty of good water while eating the fiber-rich popcorn. Make you evening popcorn as close as possible to the time you go to bed. I always loose lbs my popcorn weeks.

You can add cut up veggies and fresh fruit with the organically grown popcorn. If faithful they will begin to say, You’re too thin!

VEGETARIAN MINCEMEAT

Vegetarian Mincemeat (Green Tomatoes) ~Canning Post11:09 AM, 21-Jun-2008 ..
Green Tomato Mincemeat pie is so light and grandeur full of flavor with no fat. (soot) First when I first tried this recipe, it was because I had so many green tomatoes in my garden and hated to waste them at the end of the season. This recipe even it fooled me. It is an excellent recipe for a save to do again, but you won't need to because it makes up enough half pint jars for about five years. I wish someone in the family would adopt this recipe and save me a lot of time. However, one batch for a large family will last for years. Do not give it away for Christmas and holidays because your friends are never grateful enough.
Your kitchen will smell heavenly. This is one of my best recipes, and a must to pass on to all vegans or vegetarians. I love this recipe so much that I don't like to share the canned pint jars of mincemeat, as give away for the holidays. Use only for presents to special friends who like mincemeat pies and its cookies.

This recipe is one you will need to stand over. You will not want to burn or scorch it it's too expensive and nutritious. One of the reasons this recipe is so great, no soot that makes it so light of a mincemeat recipe. The green tomatoes you can't tell if they are another fruit. I would love to pay extra money to purchase this green tomato recipe in the health food store. Some one should bottle this and make it up for them as a small business. The advantage of this recipe is it actually taste better than any store bought recipes in grocery stores.
Green Tomato Mincemeat
Ø 6 lbs or 24 small green tomatoes
10-12 tart apples

Ø 1 lb. seedless raisins

Ø 4 cups brown sugar (or honey, use half as much...taste)

Ø 1/2 cup vinegar

Ø 1 tsp. salt

Ø 2 tsp. powdered cinnamon

Ø 1 tsp. ground nutmeg

Ø 1 tsp. powdered cloves,

Ø 1/2 tsp. powdered ginger

Ø 1 orange

1 lemon

Directions: Core tomatoes and apples, (don't peel) and cut through coarse blade of food chopper. (Or cut very small pieces). Combine raisins, sugar and spices with vinegar in a large open kettle and add apples with raisins. Cook over low heat about 2 hours (here's the hard part) stirring constantly, or it will scorch. Quarter lemon and orange, leaving peels on, remove seeds, run through fine blade of chopper, and add to mincemeat stirring well. To freeze, cool well and place in pint containers.

To can, fill pint jars to within 1/2" of top and process 30 minutes in boiling water bath. Makes 10 pints. (1 pint makes a pie) Green Tomato Marmalade:

The spice and even the orange is known for it's anti micro toxins abilities so let's use it more in getting rid of fungi's.

GREEN TOMATO Marmalade:'' Twenty-Four medium green tomatoes 4 oranges 3 1/2 sugar will make a new and delicious marmalade. You can use Sure Jell, Certo or M.C.P. and follow the directions for marmalade by substituting the green tomato for the grapefruit.'' (I add only enough sugar to make it a nice sweet, remember to began to cut back on sugars, each time using the recipe till you get just the right combination for your family.) Note: Be sure the all the fruit and vegetables are organically grown in a local garden if possible.
