Hi Patty--I must be really old -51 now :( Do I just email you recipes or is there a way to enter it in your blog page?
Waffles--
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Mix all the dry ingredients together and then blend together and add 2 organic eggs, 1/2 cup expeller pressed oil, 1 tablespon organic agave nectar and enough water to make two cups when mixed with the rest of the wet ingredients.
Mix all ingedients together and pour approx 1/3 cup into each waffle mold.
Any ingredients you can get organic will always be better. I use this recipe like bread also, I'll put organic almond butter (no sugar or oil added or anything else, just almonds & salt) on a waffle & maybe some agave nectar-- like a peanut butter & honey sandwich-- only really good for you. In the morning I'll eat the waffles with organic butter on them & maybe some all fruit jam but they're great plain.
Sometimes people get caught up only mixing vegetables with vegetables & only fruit with fruit, some of my best salads are a mixture of both, the key is a good variety of both & cut into very small pieces add some nuts and raisins too. It doesn't even need dressing the fruit sweetens it. YUMMY!
It takes about 1 or 2 weeks to get off of sugar before you don't miss it anymore. I never thought I'd say that but it's true. Things I didn't use to care about eating (all the good stuff) I now crave, I don't overeat them, but they truly satisfy me. Also you can buy xylitol in powdered form at whole foods. Use it in place of sugar if you really want something sweet. (xylitol is from the bark of a tree, I believe, so it's all natural & is actually good for you-- but be careful not to get carried away with it as it can cause the runs!)
Maybe I'll send more later. Gotta go feed the animals-- they're all yelling at me!
Love you,
Cheryl

Beginners Luck
I guess an old dog can learn a new trick because I am learning how to do a blog. Be patient with me as I create this, I hope it will be helpful and that I will have some information that will be helpful.
My goal is to get some really good recipes for us Candida sufferers as well as those who just want to eat healthy and add some helpful hints and tips (all my sisters better give me some ideas on these - please!). Remember this is just evolving so any suggestions would be helpful.
Anyway, I'm getting outside my comfort zone and attempting to do something new. Should be fun, I know.
