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
  

• 3 cups Certified Gluten-Free rolled oats
  

• 2 cups raisins
  
  
  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 !

Green Apple Bacon Spinach Salad w/ Apple Cider Honey Dressing (Warm Salad)

(more pictures coming soon sorry this is all i can do for now lol )

2 bunches of Organic Spinach
2 to 3 Roma Tomatoes
1 Granny Smith Apple
7 slices of Nitrate Free bacon ( I use Hemplers), sliced into chunks (or strips)

1 Tab of Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar

1 tsp of Stevia in the Raw or Truvia or add a bit more Raw Honey
Juice of One Organic Lemon
5 Tab of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
S&P to taste

Cook the cut bacon in a medium saucepan and cook until almost crisp, while that is cooking wash and dry your spinach and cut up your tomatoes and slice the apple, throw in a bowl. Add the Spinach.

Remove the Bacon once cooked with a slotted spoon or spider and place in the bowl with the tomatoes and apples .

In the sauce pan that you cooked your bacon in , depending on the amount of grease left behind you want at least 2 tab of bacon grease, add the Olive Oil and the list of dressing ingredients. And Mix with a spatula then add sea salt and freshly cranked pepper to taste! Then add to the spinach and apple /tomato mixture and toss to coat. Serve Immediately :D

Enjoy!
