What Shall We Bake Today?

Food 1 Minute

Last month, I included a recipe GA/FL posted in an open about turtle cookies.  I have since made the recipe and it has become a FAVORITE!!! It deserves its own open!  The recipe was not clear on how big to make the cookie logs, and I was unsure if the cookies would expand in the oven.  I made 4 smaller logs and got a ton of cookies!  I also experimented with cutting the slices thinner and thicker to see if we would like them softer or crispier—we liked them EITHER WAY! This is just a delicious tasting cookie!  Thank you GA/FL for bringing it!!!

Mama Smith’s Pecan Refrigerator Cookies

Beat together:

1-1/2 cups butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

Whisk together:

4 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 tsp salt

Mix sugar/egg and flour mixtures together.

Add 2 cups chopped pecans.

Roll into logs, wrap with plastic wrap or waxed paper, refrigerate for a couple of hours or store in freezer until needed.

Slice and bake at 350* until lightly browned—mine took 7-10 minutes.

    “This Genetically Engineered Ingredient Is in Nearly Everything You Eat — Hydrogenated genetically engineered soybean oil is one of the most harmful types of oils you can consume, yet it’s found in nearly all processed foods.”

    “Story at a glance:

    — Two of the most harmful ingredients in processed foods are high fructose corn syrup and soybean oil, whether partially hydrogenated, organic or made from newer soybean varieties modified in such a way as to not require hydrogenation.

    — Completely unnatural man-made fats created through the partial hydrogenation process cause dysfunction and chaos in your body on a cellular level, and studies have linked trans-fats to health problems ranging from obesity and diabetes to reproductive problems and heart disease.

    — Besides the health hazards related to the trans fats created by the partial hydrogenation process, soybean oil is, in and of itself, NOT a healthy oil.

    — Add to that the fact that the majority of soybeans grown in the U.S. are genetically engineered, and as a result saturated with dangerous levels of the herbicide glyphosate, which may have additional health consequences as there are no long-term safety studies.

    — When taken together, partially hydrogenated GE soybean oil becomes one of the absolute worst types of oils you can consume.

    — The genetically engineered (GE) variety planted on over 90% of U.S. soy acres is Roundup Ready engineered to survive being doused with otherwise lethal amounts of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide (glyphosate). GE soybeans have been found to contain residue levels as high as 17 mg/kg, and malformations in frog and chicken embryos have occurred at just over 2 mg/kg.”

  4. I am adding a short daily prayer to the board. I would invite each of you, if you wish, to also add one or maybe two of your own liking. I do not want to stifle anyone but please limit yourself to one or two religious postings. here’s one I found that I liked.
