Soft Wheat Banana Muffins
These wonderfully moist muffins are very easy to make because they are a “throw-everything in one bowl operation”! I use whole wheat pastry flour which is milled from soft wheat rather than the hard red wheat in regular whole wheat flour (here is one I like) which is perfect for these muffins because it is light and airy yet still rich in fiber. They are also low in sugar ... Read More »

Peach Almond Cobbler
If you are so lucky to have fresh peaches at your local market, here is a peach almond cobbler that I think you will LOVE!

Oh, and one more thing I love ... Read More »

Raspberry Crumb Cakes
These delicious little squares are filled with nutritious ingredients, such as fresh raspberries, walnuts, soft wheat and rolled oats and the result is absolutely delicious! I started out by creating these as a dessert, as an alternative to Crumb cakes which are typically filled with sugar, butter and white flour and have no nutritional value, whatsoever! But as I fine-tuned ... Read More »
