vegan notes...

i just made my first loaf of homemade, no yeast/ no soy/ no sugar bread-- and it turned out great!

oven 400F-- 4 cups 100% whole wheat flour, 1/2 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tbsp baking soda, 1.5 cups filtered water, 2 tsp apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp 100% steel cut oats, 2 handfuls raisins, 2 tbsp ALL-NATURAL pear butter spread.

glaze: water & cinnamon

next time, i plan to add banana and cinnamon to the initial recipe.

great website!-- i just tinkered with the recipe a little...

speaking of cinnamon... i've started recently to add it to my green tea for EVEN MORE antioxidants. NOW decaffeinated organic green tea is perfection. of course, use lemon when chilled, save the cinnamon for hot...

single best item EVER: Dr. Bronner's 100% peppermint castile soap. use it as a soap, a shampoo ( need a separate conditioner then, of course ) and a detergent!

your number one healthy lifestyle move to engage in on a daily basis? stopping, at random intervals, to take 10 deep breaths. so sayeth dr. oz.

number 2 is STOP complaining! i've made myself a promise to do this because all complaining accomplishes is spreading the contagion which is a negative attitude and a poor spirit. it's hard, but that's why i like this website...
