Delicious Breakfast Cookies!

This morning I made breakfast cookies that were based on this recipe. they were super fast, and, as far as I can tell, not less healthy than anything else I eat for breakfast :)

Delicious Breakfast Cookies
1 c brown sugar
1 1/4 c oats
2 c whole wheat flour
1 1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1/8 t ginger
Combine all of these ingredients in a bowl. Then add:
1 c pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
1/2 c craisins
1/4 c chocolate chips
Combine. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet sprayed with pam. I put a piece of foil on my cookie sheet, sprayed it, then dropped on the dough. This made 19 cookies for me. Bake 350 for about 12-14 min.
Yum! Lu Belle loved these.

Teancum or Lily???

This is a drawing of Teancum. If we have a boy we will name him after Teancum, a valiant man from the Book of Mormon who ended a long drawn out war at the sacrifice of his own life. He was a great leader and a follower of Christ. We're hoping that as we teach our son (maybe) about his namesake that he will try to take on some of those qualities that people will think of him as brave and valiant. Or that he can be a follower of Christ.

But, if our baby is a girl we want to name her Lily.



This is a picture of a Lily that grows in the mountains of Bolivia where some of my ancestors come from. Think of the cool rolling hills of the middle country where my great grandfather rode on his horse. So, when she asks about her name I could say something cool like that.

But, there's also a bunch of other things or people she could be named as. Lily Potter, who was Harry Potter's mother. But she probably won't understand that significance of Lily Potter until she reads all seven of the books. So, we would have to make something up as we go.

We're pretty set on those names but if there are any other suggestions with a cool explanation then we're all ears :)

Number 2 is on it's way. It's due May 2. Do you like how you can call it "it?" :)

A Delicious Bread Recipe

Chicken sandwich anyone?


It seems like it's a life-long pursuit to find the perfect bread recipe. The closest that I've tasted to perfection is the whole wheat bread that my Aunt Karen makes. I've also made the honey whole wheat on Allrecipes.com and it's pretty good. The following is from Epicurious.com. A wonderful, delicate, flavorful bread. It is very good in loaf and roll form. It holds its shape pretty well when used as a sandwich roll. When you make the recipe a sandwich rolls, the dough divides well into 12 pieces for a decent-sized roll.

Here is a link to the recipe on Epicurious.
