Home made Teething Biscuits

My friend Linzee told me about her friends blog http://www.homespunsprout.com/search/label/baby%20food, she brought it up because I was telling her how much John and I didn't like Pipe eating Mum Mum's.  Although they are a simple quick snack (& great at occupying baby), they just turned to a gummy mush when she eats them and they stick to everything.  I assume that is exactly what they did in her intestines, turn to glue.  So Linzee tells me about her friends blog who makes her own teething biscuits.  So in my quest to be "crunchy" I checked it out and made a batch.  Here is how I did it:
Teething Biscuits
3 egg yokes
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
4 Tbsp. black strap molasses
1/2 cup millet
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
Method
Mix molasses, oil, and egg yokes.
Add flours. Mix to make a stiff (still slightly doughy/pliable) dough.

Put dough on a cookie sheet, roll so it's about a quarter inch thick and run a pizza cutter over to cut into rectangles.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Seriously, Piper devours these!  They are super healthy, full of iron and yummy goodness for baby and an added bonus: the house smells a bit like gingerbread cookies for a few hours!  Yes please!

Been a while!

It's been a while.  No excuses.  Just been blog-lazy!  Lots has been going on.  We've made lots of changes in our lives.  We eat healthier, we grocery shop healthier, we cloth diaper, we let the babies in bed with us, we recycle more, we make our own laundry soap and other household cleaners etc.  Yep, we are a little crunchy around the edges.  And I love it.  A friend of mine what sparked all the changes and I don't think I have really one good answer.  It just works for us.  But the more I think about how being crunchy and being Christian go hand in hand, I feel like For me, and most likely many other Christian Crunchies, faith in God's original design plays a large role in the crunchy-nes. Basically the "natural" way of doing things, often is the best way even long before science can explain it. Breastfeeding for example. God designed all mammals to produce milk and feed our babies. From the early 1900s up until the 1980s, science said formula was "better", obviously that was wrong. Things like co-sleeping, maintaining a healthy body, being a good steward of the earth we were given, respecting God's design and His authority, are all Biblical principles in some form.
I love the changes we are making and I certainly don't think it is for everyone but it is certainly for us!  I have some super fun homemade recipes coming up on the blog!  Keep an eye out!  I hope you enjoy!
