cumin...from the net
Cumin was known to the Egyptians five millennia ago; the seeds have been found in the Old Kingdom Pyramids. The Romans and the Greeks used it medicinally ...
I was thrilled to find out about the benefits of cumin...It has been used for centuries and using it in Black Bean Soup is a favorite. One bag of beans(washed), water and boil till done. Add several teaspoons of cumin and when serving use a dopple of sour cream and your favorite brand of tostillos.
Another tidbit in doing research something from the web, nuts are good for you especially almonds!

A family favorite any time of the year is potato soup...and for the adventurous add cheese, broccoli, caudiflower or finely chopped carrots.
5 white potatoes, peeled & chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
Saute onion in 3 tablespoons of butter, once transparent add chopped potatoes and enough water to cover, boiled at least twenty minutes. Once potatoes are done take an old fashion masher and mash slightly. Add 1 1/2 cup light cream. Heat carefully. Once heated, add 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese. After adding cheese keep heat low to prevent stringy consistency. Once cheese melts, enjoy!
Options: Add other chopped and cooked vegetable for additional favor, fiber and variety.

A friend of ours says my pancakes are in a food group all by themselves...so here goes
1 cup of flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teasp baking soda
1 teasp baking powder
1/2 teasp salt
3 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup oil
Mix liquids together, add in dry ingredients, shred one apple and add with 1 cup of blueberries. Cook on hot greased griddle and enjoy...great with sausage or bacon or both!
Mix your own syrup to get away from high fructose syrup and no it is not the same as regular corn syrup.
Mix 1/2 measure of honey and 1/2 measure of regular corn syrup. If you are lucky enough to have a source for real maple syrup use that instead.

I am shocked at the amount of cyber bullying that goes on...I am not interested in my past cyber protection so opting to go with another protection provider and past on continues to send me messages. Just because you can put a cookie on my PC does not give you permission to send me daily messages...but it does.
Hearing of cyber bullying before I did not realize the extent of it!
Any way you cut it there needs to be a stop...and start reading the labels on all food! Especially anything with High Fructose Syrup...guess I will start making my own jelly, ketchup and everything else. No thanks to the manufacturers that sell cheap and incorporate this toxic syrup...more bullying to make cheap sugar that is not good for people's health. It is made from corn and is not a healthy product. Want to stop obesity rates from rising? Stop high fructose intake.

This is not low in calories but will be a way to consume healthy carbs, lots of fiber and keep you from getting hungry for hours!
Granola
6 cups of oats
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup oat bran
1 cup of wheat bran
1 cup of sesame seeds
1 cup of sunflower seeds
2 cups of nuts (use your favorite walnut, pecan, almonds)
1 cup of oil and 1 cup of honey drizzle over all dry ingredients and mix, mix, mix until all is coated.
Bake on 200 degrees until brown, stir a bit about every 30 minutes, bake 2 hours.
Once cool add dried fruit to the mix. I love raisins, cranraisins and adding after the baking prevents the fruit
from becoming hard to eat.
