wow I am back to the land of the living! After I got back from Austin I woke up in the middle of the night sick! I got a nasty stomach bug from my brothers house and it had me down, man it was hard I really wanted some bread and starches after i started felling better. But I made it.
I decided today that I would add a bit of raw apple cider vinegar in my diet. there is some debate on using it while doing yeast free but the majority is that its acceptable but needs to be refrigerated. Anyway the point is, that I needed to add some variations to my salads cause I am so over lemon and olive oil! I made a yummy one today with A.C.V. with E.V.O.O I added fresh basil, garlic clove, some paprika and a touch of salt man it was yummy.
RECIPE
I have had a couple people ask for my cookie recipes so here they are sorry but if you know me in the kitchen you know I try to re-invent recipes so my measurements are not perfect. there are severel variatioins of this recipe but if you google peanut butter rice krispy treats then you will get the basic idea, I just chance things up. there is a cereal by the brand name BARBARAS and the name of the cereal is BROWN RICE CRISPS, its sweetened with juice and is wheat free this cereal brand has great alternatives to the surgery crap on the market now.
I usually use almond butter but peanut butter is fine. I heat up brown rice syrup with about a tablespoon of coconut oil, I let it boil for about 3 min then take it of the heat, then add nut butter after its mixed well I poor it over a couple cups of the brown rice crisp.Typically I throw in some chopped up nuts, spelt pretzels, and a few chocolate chip. After spraying the glass pan with a bit of oil then I press the mixture in real tight by using some parchment paper. after a few min it hardens up then I cut them in squares. They are really good, and have no refined sugar.

another cookie I made was using the same concept with the brown rice syrup and nut butter, after heating the syrup and letting it boil a bit then adding in the nut butter. I mix some puffed rice with oats and mealed flax meal and then mix it all up. after it cools a bit then I make balls out of them and let them cool on parchment paper. I know this is vague, next time I make them I will measure it out.
