Three of my specialties:
Crazy Bars (which are not only crazy b/c of the ingredients, but also b/c you mix them right in the 9x13 pan!):
-Cream together 1 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar.
-Stir in 2 eggs and 1 t vanilla.
-In one end of the pan, stir together 1 cup spelt flour, 1 t baking soda, 1 t baking powder, 1/2 t salt, 1/2 t cinnamon.
-Combine with wet ingredients and add 1/2 cup cream, then
-1 cup oats, 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup nuts (I like peanuts here).
-Bake at 350F for like 1/2 hour or so.
Hot Cocoa
1 cup milk (whole, "organic")
1 T cocoa (quality)
1 T maple syrup (real)
splash vanilla (real)
Heat over med-low, whisking. Don't over-heat. Yum.
Watermelon Leathers
Slice up a watermelon, de-seed, and throw the slices in the dehydrator for the whole day. My family LOVES these. Pull them when they are no longer moist but are chewy, not crispy. You can do this in the oven, too, but I don't know how. You can roast the seeds and salt them and use the rinds for pickling. Very thrifty, that.
