Recipes

• 1 3/8 cups organic all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) organic butter, softened
• 3/4 cups organic powdered sugar
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large measuring cup, stir together flour and baking soda. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg white and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
3. Spread evenly over the bottom of a square glass baking pan (8 x 8 in).
4. Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Cut into squares.

• 1 1/2 squares chocolate
• 1 egg
• 1/2 stick of organic butter
• 1/2 cup organic turbinado sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup organic flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup filtered water

• 4 squares Baker's unsweetened baking chocolate
• 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) organic butter
• 1-1/2 cups Tubinado sugar
• 3 organic eggs (or similar quality, like Eggland's Best eggs)
• 2 tsp. vanilla (I used Spice Island's -- it was just vanilla extract and alcohol, everything else had corn syrup in it, even the organic stuff. For the first time in my life, I liked the smell of vanilla when I opened the bottle.)
• 2-1/2 cups flour, divided
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. Celtic sea salt
• 1-1/2 cups filtered water

1. Preheat oven to 325F.
2. Melt chocolate and butter in a small bowl until butter and chocolate are thoroughly melted.
   We did this on the stove, in a glass bowl in a pot with water in it, on low heat. It takes time but I don't own a microwave and pretty much hate microwaves. See the link, above, for their microwave version if you are interested in that method.
3. Put the sugar in a large bowl and pour the chocolate and butter mixture into it. Mix well.
4. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until well blended. You can use an electric mixer on low. We did this with a fork. (Tip: Always crack eggs into a separate bowl, never directly into the cake batter. If the egg is bad for some reason or you accidentally get egg shell in it, it's not a big deal if it's in a separate bowl. It can be a disaster if something goes wrong and you have cracked it directly into the batter.)
5. Add vanilla; mix well.
6. Mix 1/2 cup of the flour, the baking soda and salt; beat until well blended in small mixing cup or bowl. Add to cake batter and mix until well blended.
7. Add remaining 2 cups flour alternately with water, beating until well blended after each addition.
8. Pour evenly into large rectangular glass oven pan (coated with oil and flour, of course -- we used coconut oil).
9. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
10. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove from pan.

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons baking soda

• 1 organic egg (or Eggland's Best Cage Free or similar quality)
  We sometimes make pizza without the egg. The egg is great for adding protein and nutrients but we suffer from a sulfur allergy and eggs are high sulfur. So we have to limit our consumption of eggs.
• 1 spoon of sea salt
• 2 spoons of organic coconut oil
• add enough filtered water to make 1 1/3 cups
  This is different from the recipe I posted previously in my blog and elsewhere. I was using 1 1/2 cups liquid but it was too gooey.

• Crack one egg (organic of Eggland's Best or similar quality) into a 4 cup measuring cup.
• Add enough milk to equal one cup of liquid.
• Toss in some frozen organic corn (probably about 1/3 cup or so).

• Peel and slice two potatoes.
• Put them in a small pot with a generous amount of filtered water and some sea salt (maybe 3/4 of a teaspoon -- I don't measure, I just do it by eye).
• Cook until tender. Add about 1/4 to 1/3 tablespoon organic butter.
• Thicken with one to three tablespoons corn starch mixed in water (depending upon how thick you want it).

• 3 Cups water
• 1 Cup juice
• 1 Tablespoon (sea)salt
