Question for Organic and Uber Healthy Eaters

Silly!! :)

Yes you are allowed to shop there! I used to belong to the SDA church - separated from the religion years ago over theological reasons - but they are very nice people. I believe I have been in the Bozeman store (*think, think, think*) - it has been some years, but I believe they do have a grocery selection as well, or at least they did when I was there.

Anyone can shop there, and they are quite welcoming, and they try to keep the prices down. They also encourage case sales. I believe they used to offer a mailing list and would let you know when a truck was coming in so you could come shop by the case.

Thank you, Sorsha! My parents live in Kalispell and my brother lives in Whitefish. LOVE it up there!
 
Glad they liked them! I just cut back the amount of sugar a little each time until I am making it without. I do that on anything that requires a sweetener. Now when my kids have something with a "normal" amount of sugar in it, they are grossed out at how sweet it is!

My granola bars are only about a 1/2 inch thick so that is probably why yours were chewy in the middle. Just bake them longer. I have forgotten about them in the oven a time or two.......or three and they are fine.

If they like the granola bars, try making cobbler. It is the same base: banana, applesauce, oatmeal, sweetener is optional.

Put frozen berries in a pan with a tablespoon or two of frozen OJ concentrate. You could also add a sweetener if you wanted. Let it simmer until the OJ has melted and the berries are no longer frozen (only takes 10 minutes or so). Once it is bubbling, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and SLOWLY add it to the berries, stirring until it thickens. Do not leave this unattended. It thickens quickly and it will burn in a split second if you aren't watching it. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.

In a glass pan (either 8x8 or 9x13) press 1/2 to 3/4 of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom. You don't need cooking spray. It won't stick. Pour the berries on top and spread out. Crumble the rest of the mixture on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. My kids love this and they eat it for breakfast and dessert!

Thank you for your cobbler recipe! I was thinking how hard summer was going to be with all the BBQs, which we are going to one tonight, and there are always brownies or some kind of dessert. This will be great! Could put a tiny scoop of ice cream for a treat. 1/2 inch think would make a huge difference I think. Well guess what? There are only 4 left out of that huge pan. I was thinking I may have to start monitoring, but really, there's nothing bad in there for them. I even mentioned making some of these before DL next month, putting them in our cooler for the drive and using them as breakfast before the parks. We do have continental breakfast at CCI, but doubt there are many healthy options. THANK YOU!!!!!
 
Almond milk is super easy. I usually keep some sprouted almonds in the fridge to make it with. They don't have to be sprouted, but it is more nutritious if they are. You just put 1 cup of almonds and 3 cups of water into your blender. Blend on high. Then you strain the almond pulp out. They sell nut milk straining bags, but I just made my own by cutting a corner off of an old clean pillowcase and strain it through that. Once you strain the pulp out, you can add some agave to sweeten it a little. That's it.

Tortillas are also super easy. I think it costs me about $0.35 to make a dozen whole grain tortillas (about 10 inch size). I know I only put good stuff in them, they are cheap, and we use them all the time. I just use a rolling pin to roll them out and cook them in a frying pan on the stove. Something anywhere close to what I make at the grocery stores around here cost around $4 for 8.

Thank you for the recipe on this. I have to try this. And we go through tortillas like crazy. The kids did NOT like the sprouted tortillas, so I told them I would just buy the whole grain ones. May have to try those, but I'm a little intimidated after the yogurt fiasco, lol. But the granola bars were good. I"ll start with the almond milk first. :)

I don't make sprouted tortillas. They are just whole wheat. If you're feeling brave, here's the recipe

4 cups whole wheat flour (I buy wheat and grind it into fresh flour right before, but you can just buy wheat flour)

2 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 1/4 cup warm water

1/2 tsp baking powder

Knead into a soft dough (should be soft and pliable, but not too sticky) add water or flour a little bit at a time to come to the right consistency. Let stand for about 5 minutes. Roll out into tortilla shape (they should be very thin)

Cook on med high heat in a dry frying pan (no oil or cooking spray). If the pan is hot, they will not stick. Turn over when little bubbles start to form and cook on other side.

These taste really quite delicious! The only problem I have with them is that the kids want to eat them as soon as they come off the stove and then I don't have enough for dinner. lol.

Thank you! I am going to try these! I may have to keep MYSELF from eating them. :)
