This blog is meant for those of us who are trying to live a little longer and to help our kids live healthy lives too! Several of us have read a book entitled, "The China Study," which has strongly influenced the way we are trying to eat.

This site is specifically designed to help those of us who are trying to live a vegetarian/vegan type of lifestyle, but feel free to contribute any healthy recipes your family enjoys.

Please send me an e-mail at boren8@msn.com if you would like to be included as an author.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tbsp milled flax
6 tbsp water
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup walnuts (optional)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth.  Beat in flax and water, then stir in vanilla.  In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture just until blended.  Mix in the quick oats, walnuts and chocolate chips.  Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.  Bake for 12 minutes.


This one is another favorite at our house.  So yummy!  You'd never guess they're whole wheat cookies!  I found the basic recipe on All Recipes.com but tweaked it by substituting in some healthier ingredients.
