Delicious healthy soups



Above is the link to my new favorite blog. She has some of the best recipes, this is her Healing Soup. I have made it many times and it truly is delicious and healthy. I have made the hummus and the carrot ginger soup and below is the salmon and millet cakes. All very very tasty. Go over there and find something you like.



























































Fruit and Grain Bar




I tried these fig breakfast bars off of Dig This Chick. They are good, I did struggle to find figs in my area, I probably could have at the whole foods markets but I felt that I wanted to keep the cost down so I used apricot and prunes. I also couldn't find an affordable carrot juice until after I had made them so I used straight grape juice off of my own vines which might be a little too tart, but so far everyone eats them when I get them out. Also she said on hers she didn't use all the fruit filling. Of course I didn't listen and thought more is better, but trust her and me it is not, then they are like an overloaded PB&J and messy for the kids. Next time carrot juice and not all the filling. I do feel like it is healthier than the granola bars, but not as affordable unless you are able to dry your own apricots which is what I will have to do with mine this year.

3 Cups whole Wheat Flour

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 tsp. baking powder
