recipe~ Yummy Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies

This is an old post from my family private blog... sorry if you have seen this before!
Made YUMMY HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!

This recipe comes from the Amazing Wheat Book
by LeArta Moulton
( It's a great book, we use it all the time)
!!!!With a few updates, and variations at the bottom!!!!
1/2 C veggie oil (we use olive or grapeseed)
1 C Honey
(we use 1/2 ish cup honey, and 1/2 ish cup raw cane sugar
if you use only honey, they taste great, but don't hold a shape)
1/2 C peanut butter
1 egg, beaten
1 T. sour cream
1 tsp. bkg soda
1 1/2 C whole wheat flour


cream oil and honey/sugar. Add peanut butter, egg and mix well. Add sour cream, soda, and flour and beat well. Form into balls, (sometimes we roll them in additional cane sugar!!) about the size of a larger bouncy ball (she said marble, but we like them alittle bigger) place on greased cookie sheet. Press with a fork. Bake at 350 for 10 mins.
Don't overcook, or they are nasty!


We ALWAYS atleast double this, they are so good, chewy, and yummy. We eat them in a few days. So we try to make the mess less times and make more!!
Again Healthy might be a stretch, but healthier!

Oh, and I might next time add more peanut butter, to get a stronger peanut butter taste!

We have been using either grapeseed or coconut oil in these. We prefer the taste. We also are using a combination of Spelt, Brown Rice Four, and Whole Wheat Pastry Four. And adding a little more than the recipe calls for. The addition of Br. Rice and Spelt, helps them raise and hold their shape better. Sometimes, when I have golden syrup I use that too, it has an almost caramel flavor. Molasses is another great addition! Oh and we do add extra Peanut Butter!

Simple Morning Time Geography, for the whole family.....

In our Morning Time we will be reading some fun and educational picture books to begin our family geography lessons. Yes I'm just starting this now, in March.... sometimes that happens. We've been studying geography in both our Good and the Beautiful Language Arts, and also our Mystery of History Lessons, so I don't actually feel bad about this! First up, for our World Geography.  I decided to start with a general world geography book. I chose  Somewhere in the World Right Now by Stacey Schuett.  This book is alot of fun. It discusses different geographical areas, showing some amazing pictures. It mostly talks about the time zones and international date line. I thought that would be a nice introduction, and something we haven't really discussed a lot. We started our week off with this beauty, on Monday. After we finished our morning time, and headed to our school room. You see, we meet on our couches, in our family room for a lot ...

I am JUMPING OFF THE SHIP!!! So to speak...

What does that mean!??! What ship are you jumping from? Where are you jumping to? How are you planning on jumping?? Well let me tell you.... I am jumping into the great deep, dark and "unknown" world, I am planning on jumping Titanic style, Spread Eagle that is!!! No seriously folks, I have decided that for our upcoming curriculum, we are going to jump into the area of {dare I even say it??} Traditional Christian TEXTBOOKS!!!! {I can hear you all moan, and groan and say OH NO!!!!} Yes TEXTBOOK, tends to be a "bad" word in the homeschool world. It's one of those 3-letter words, okay so it's actually an Eight-letter word. I am not sure why TEXTBOOKS have such a bad name to homeschoolers. Actually I do, it has to do with the dumbing down of America. It has to do with short tidbits of information crammed into a lesson, bits and pieces of history... never knowing the whole thing. HOWEVER, you must also admit, that there are NOW so many choices in TEXTBO...
