\"018\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"128\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"067\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"014\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We came back from Chincoteague and got caught up in children!<\/p>\n

From watching Aidan while his parents went for a couple of days<\/p>\n

to Canada to preparing for a celebration for Aiden\u2019s adoption into<\/p>\n

my niece\u2019s family- totally caught up in the affairs and world of small<\/p>\n

children.<\/p>\n

So, now \u2013Aidan and his parents are happily back at home.<\/p>\n

Aiden and Ally and Chad are officially parents and son.<\/p>\n

The party is over \u2013for now, at least- I\u2019m sure the celebration is going<\/p>\n

to go on for quite a while!<\/p>\n

And- after all the pots and pans are washed and put away- am going to<\/p>\n

take a rest.  After I finish this post.<\/p>\n

I love working on the house in Virginia, I LOVE my grandchildren- and <\/p>\n

I absolutely love parties.  But I\u2019m tired.<\/p>\n

And I want to make some bread.<\/p>\n

I did, however, make some cookies on Sunday and I\u2019d like to share the recipe.<\/p>\n

Luke and Willow brought me some grape skin flour back from Canada.<\/p>\n

\"029\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It looks like cocoa.<\/p>\n

They brought me a recipe for making cookies with the flour.<\/p>\n

\"033\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  <\/p>\n

1\/2 cup brown sugar<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup sugar<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup butter-softened<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup almond butter<\/p>\n

1 egg<\/p>\n

1 tsp vanilla<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp baking soda<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp salt<\/p>\n

1 cup stone ground whole wheat flour<\/p>\n

1\/4 unbleached flour<\/p>\n

1\/4 grape skin flour<\/p>\n

1 cup chocolate chips<\/p>\n

Cream butter and sugars.  Add almond butter.  Beat in egg and vanilla.<\/p>\n

Sift and add dry ingredients.  Add chocolate chips.  Roll into small balls.<\/p>\n

Flatten with fork and bake for 12-15 minutes.  <\/p>\n

Makes approx. 4 dozen cookies.<\/p>\n

That is the recipe as given to me.  I added 3\/4 cup sliced almonds.<\/p>\n

These cookies are a little deceptive because of the color.  You expect a<\/p>\n

real dose of chocolate and only get a hint- and they have a very nice flavor-<\/p>\n

but rather mild.  I\u2019d make them again for little ones to enjoy.<\/p>\n

I also have a recipe for Harvest bread using a small amount of this flour.<\/p>\n

It uses 8 tsps. of yeast, though- so I\u2019m not sure- I may have to tweak it up a bit<\/p>\n

with some sourdough!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
