Over the last few years I have come to realize more and more that the foods we are eating are not meeting our bodily needs. My goal is to find foods that are free of pesticides, antibiotics, hormones and other chemicals and make as many meals from scratch in order to provide the most nutritious foods for my family.

Pumpkin Cookies
Sorry to all my gluten free readers but this is not a gf recipe (yet, anyway!). This is a popular recipe for my kids, they usually disappear pretty quickly and make an easy breakfast ;)
Pumpkin Cookies
2 1/4 c flour (I use King Arthur Organic All Purpose Flour)
dash each salt, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, ginger, all spice (sorry, I almost never measure these kinds of ingredients, just dump!)
1/2 T cinnamon
3/4 c sucanat
1 egg
1/2 T vanilla
1 c pumpkin (if you don't have quite enough you can also sub applesauce for some of it)
1/2 c coconut oil (softened but not melted the whole way)
Optional: mini chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets.
Cream together all wet ingredients. Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl and add to wet ingredient mixture. Use 2 tablespoons to drop cookies onto sheets. Bake 10-15 minutes, cool for a few minutes on sheet then transfer to cooling rack. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
