 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.

”*°•.˜”*°•.˜”*°•.★★.•°*”˜.•°*”˜.•°*”˜

So I will commonsense with and continue to use my Blog as a ministry like I have been doing and serving you all , My work is still copyrighted , And I also want to remind you all to that this is a Ministry , I always put God, and Family and Friends first in the order, I already have many demanding responsibility  , Homeschooling, Help running our Construction Business, Still on my healing journey, and making everything from scratch , prepping, canning , preserving , milling, drying, fermenting, gardening, animals, crafts and sewing... and such not.

And I would also LOVE to give a shout-out to my dear friends, Susi, Courtney and Angela, and also to my sister Jackie who was most helpful and understanding today.
and also a special thank you to Maruee K. :) And all those with kind loving words :)  (¯`'•.¸ *♥♥♥* ¸.•'´¯)

These are perfect!!!!!! These are a hit at our house and I make them several times a week! :D


350 degree (Oven)

1 cup earth balance

• 1 cup Stevia in the raw
  ¼ cup Honey
  ¼ cup Maple Syrup
  

• 2 Duck eggs (or 3 eggs of your choice)

• 2 teaspoon vanilla

• 1 1/2 cups My Fool Proof Mix
  1 ½ tsp of Xanthum Gum
  

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  ZEST OF ONE LIME
  

• 1 teaspoon salt

  Prepare your two cookies sheets with parchment paper ( I think I yielded 3 cookies sheets with this recipe ) Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  
  
  
  
  
• Mix up the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl and set aside.
  
  In your Mixer, I use a Kitchen Aid (whisk attachment) , cream the earth balance and sweeteners and eggs and vanilla.
  
  Slowly add in your dry ingredients and then stir the oatmeal in slowly and stir in or add your raisins, I have to admit I just use my kitchen aid .
  
  I use a ice cream scoop and , scoop my batter out and place them on the prepared cookie sheets, place in pre-heated oven. Bake for 10 min or longer depending on your oven, just make sure the tooth pick comes out clean.
  
  Enjoy !

1)EVERYDAY MINERALS: http://www.everydayminerals.com/index.php

*above is there getaway plan kit : GET AWAY PLAN KIT Can be purchased here
This is the brand I went with , i started breaking out with Bareminerals, and when i contacted the company they said they couldnt give me a yes or a no and i called and emailed for days, they said that they couldnt be sure so they adivse i not use them , plus to let you know allot of there prodcuts are NOT gluten free...


This is the Email correspondence from them...

Hello JoAnna,

Thank you for contacting us. Our products are vegan based, free of carmine, nuts, lake dyes, fragrance, bismuth oxychloride and parabens. In our lip gloss, we use a mix of 95% blend of natural mixed tocopherols isolated from soybean oil and concentrated to contain naturally occurring d-alpha, d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta tocopherols.

You can always view the ingredients prior to making your purchase. :) Simply click on the product you are interested in, (scroll down) and the ingredient tab will appear at the bottom of the page. Once you click on the ingredient tab, you will see a complete ingredient listing there.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Cristy,

Everyday Minerals













ARE NOT 100% (or ones that are in a tree nut faucilty.)

Alima: so....
(I called them and they said they are GLUTEN.PEANUT.AND TREE NUT FREE), But then i wrote them and got this reponse, and they said they share a faucilty with other cosmetic companies so they can't be sure of coss-contamination..... :(

Simplify Yet Beautify.
That old adage that less is more is the secret to Alima Pure’s success. It sometimes seems that the beauty industry is all about more—more tan, more lashes, more sculpted, more products. But we found that cosmetics don’t need lots of ingredients that you can’t pronounce to bring your inner beauty to the surface. It’s not about what’s in our products; it’s about what’s not. Here’s a little secret we discovered along the way to becoming an international sensation:
Hi JoAnna,
Thank you for contacting Alima Pure. Our products do not contain nuts, peanuts or gluten. However, the facility is not a certified nut-free facility. Please let us know if there is anything additional that we can assist you with.

Have a lovely day!

Kind Regards,
Dea
Alima Pure Customer Care

Dr.Bronners is safe I called them and they said there is no cross contamination with nuts and peantuts or gluten.
http://www.drbronner.com/coconut_oils.php
Products Description:
 Our white kernel and whole kernel VCO is cold-pressed from fresh carefully dried coconuts, giving it a delicious aroma. Versatile and healthy, VCO can be used for stir-frying, sauces, baking and body care. Extensive field research in the tropics shows that people who follow a traditional diet high in coconut oil enjoy excellent cardiovascular health. Clinical research confirms that VCO improves blood cholesterol by increasing the ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol, due in part to saturated medium chain fatty acids (MCT's) such as lauric.
Whole kernel oil, which is made from the kernel with its "parings" is more nutritious and has a slightly nuttier flavor whereas white kernel oil offers a choice to consumers who are familiar with this grade. Both grades are versatile and healthy along with being organic and fair trade.

I WILL NOT BE USING THIS COMPANY....TOO MANY ISSUES OF CROSS-CONTAMINTION :(
