WALNUT SPOON BISCUITS

I LOVE BISCUITS IN THE MORNING! I ALSO
LOVE WALNUTS AND FLAX SEED. MARTHA
STEWART WOULD FROWN ON THE FACT THAT
I DO NOT FOLLOW RULES OF BAKING, HOWEVER.
I USE A CAST IRON SKILLET SPRAYED WITH
OLIVE OIL SPRAY AND SPOON THEM INTO BALLS.
YOU CAN ADD CINNIMON AND SPICES, CURRY
POWDER, PAPRIKA TO THE MIX. I MAY EVEN ADD
SOME CANNED SWEET POTATOES WITH THE
LIQUID. DRIED CRANBERRIES ARE GREAT ALSO.
THE PLAIN YOGURT GIVES A TANG. USE MILK
OR CREAM OR JUICE, IF YOU LIKE.

425 DEGREE OVEN 20 MINUTES


3/4 C. WHITE WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR
1/4C. ROLLED OATS
1 OR 2 TABLSPOONS FLAX SEED MEAL
1 ROUNDED TSP BAKING POWDER
1/8 TSP SALT TO TASTE
3 TBSP CANNOLA OIL
A SPRINKLING OF NUT MEG

STIR UNTIL THE OIL IS DISPERSED INTO THE
DRY INGR. NOW ADD:

TWO HANDFULLS WALNUTS
DRIED CRANBERRIES IF YOU LIKE

ADD PLAIN YOGURT TILL THE MIX IS GETTING SOFT
AND ADD WATER TILL YOU GET THE FEELING OF
A DOUGH. NOT TOO DRY (POWDERY) OR NOT TOO
LOOSE (ADD A BIT OF FLOUR TO STIFFEN DOUGH).

THEY SHOULD NOT GIVE MUCH, WHEN YOU TOUCH
THE FINISHED PRODUCT AND SHOULD BE GOLDEN.

BRAISED KALE

KALE IS THE SUPER VEGETABLE!! MORE VITAMINS AND
MINERALS THAN ANY FOOD. I AM FROM THE SOUTH, SO
I LOVE THE BITTER GREENS COOKED WITH BACON, ETC.
THIS IS A SIMPLE AND QUICK WAY OF ENJOYING THIS GREAT
VEGGIE WITH BROWN RICE. THE AMOUNT OF LIQUID YOU ADD
WILL GIVE YOU SOME SAUCE IF YOU LIKE.



1 BUNCH KALE TORN OFF THE RIB AND CUT INTO
SQUARISH PIECES FOR EASY EATING.

1 T CURRY

OLIVE OIL

WATER, WINE, ORANGE JUICE, ETC

I USE A WOK, BUT USE WHAT YOU HAVE. HEAT THE
WOK, ADD THE OIL AND STIR FRY THE KALE, COATING
THE LEAVES WITH OIL, THEN SPRINKLE ON THE CURRY
OR WHAT EVER SUITS YOUR TASTE. TURN THE HEAT
TO LOW ADD THE LIQUID AND COVER. THE MORE
LIQUID, THE MORE JUICE. I LIKE THE KALE DRIER AND
CHEWY WITH THE RICE BECAUSE IT IS MORE "MEATY" AND
FILLING...DARKER AND RICHER IN FLAVOR. THE EXTRA
LIQUID WIL MAKE FOR A MILDER DISH. YUM!
