It's amazing how fast things change, yes we have all hear when God closes a door he opens another one.

But that does not mean one is not over the shock, and sadness of it right away,  So blessed to be able to pray and go to the Lord for peace and He definitely gave me the answer of direction I was looking for , quite abruptly lol, though I must say~
 So this is what is going on Just found out last night that there is
No chance as of now of,me  getting my masters in health and nutrition, Doula (certified and all), website $ opportunity due to events that I will not go into , just allot to take in when one has been working over 5 + years to those goals.

add the raisin's and hot water in a food processor (or blender) and pulse until all is incorporated into a syrup like texture. Then Strain through a wire mesh trainer into a separate bowl. You want to make sure there are no floaters in your creamer :)
store in an airtight container in the fridge :0)

For the Creamer:

Lemon Drop Dill Biscuts

Lemon Dill Drop Biscuits

When I made these biscuits it was late and I had no bread made. I am a huge dill fan and anything with Fresh ingredients is right up my alley. As many of you know I cannot use much rice so I try to use other flours. I make all my recipes according to my food allergies but I will suggest other substitutions.

2 Cups gluten free flour

( I used ¾ cup sorghum flour, ¼ cup flax seed meal, ¼ cup millet flour, and ¾ tapioca starch).

1 teaspoon xanthan gum

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon dry dill (optional I like allot of dill flavor)

¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper (black)

1 Tablespoon Fresh Dill

1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Zest (depending how lemony you like your food)

1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar (or apple cider vinegar) add to 1 cup goats milk . *SEE NOTE ON BOTTOM OF RECIPE
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil or Grapeseed Oil
¼ cup green onions

Directions:
Preheat Oven to 400 Degrees. Grease baking sheet with non stick gluten free cooking spray. In a large bowl Shift flours, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, dill(s) fresh and dry if using, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine milk, vinegar oil, green onions. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry, using a spatula mix just until combined, do not over mix. Drop by tablespoonfuls 1 ½ inches apart in the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes. Best served warm.

Makes 8 Large Biscuits


Note:
*(Don’t use Goat milk? then use one cup of the following suggestions
*Cows Milk or Buttermilk
*Soy Milk
*Almond Milk
*Hemp Milk
*Rice Milk (not recommended due to it being so thin.)

The Possiblities for this recipe are endless, add any fresh herbs nuts and seeds for a fantastic Biscut!
