I wasn’t sure what to call this tasty dessert. I refuse to buy those sponge like, chemical tasting, dessert rounds that are supposed to go with strawberries. So, I was thrilled to find a ‘real food’ substitute. Well, not exactly a substitute, my kids have never eaten one of those spongy dessert rounds so they don’t know what I am switching out (only my dh has any idea). This is a family favorite when the strawberry patch is ready for picking.
Shortbread
1 stick of butter
2 cups spelt flour, freshly ground
1/2 cup sucanat
1 tsp vanilla
Mix ingredients in the mixer until crumbly. Pour into 8×8 baking dish. Press down into the dish. Score lines and fork it.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Put into a bowl and add strawberries and real whipped cream.

- Crispy Nuts
What to feed hungry growing kids? A snack with nuts will satisfy even the largest appetites. Nuts are high in healthy oils essential for the growing bod. I soak grains to nutrilize the phyic acid and I soak nuts too. A salt water bath overnight makes them much easier to digest becasue it “activates enzymes that neutralize enzyme inhibitors.”
