Making amends.

I have been remonstrated for staying away for so long: I stand, remorseful and full of recipes.

Yes, recipes!

In a quest to forego white flour and white sugar and yet not surrender all earthly pleasures, I bought some spelt flour a few weeks ago and have been searching for some way to use it. Watch this:

2 cups spelt flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup agave
1 & 1/2 cups ripe mashed banana
3 eggs, beaten
1 loose cup chopped dried apricots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray/grease muffin pans.Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine oil, sugar, banana, and eggs. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, making sure not to overmix. Stir in apricots. Fill muffins pans about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-22 minutes.

And guess what? I'm not done. Jack's makes this amazing green tea shake called the Green Hornet, and after blowing through $15 in three days while fighting a cold and in need only of cold, icy, delicious things to drink, I came home and made up my own Green Hornet. Here 'tis!

1 T matcha green tea powder
1 T agave or honey
2 cups (give or take) soymilk
5 or so ice cubes

Mix in blender and drink with stripey straws!
