Linda Nwankwo's Blueberry Pie recipe

Blueberry Pie or Juneberry Pie

I thawed out 8-9 cups of very frozen berries for least two hours. Then I put them in a kettle on the stove. I added 2/3 cup of Lundberg Rice Syrup and had burner on warm only and stirred them. Meanwhile I put 2/3 cup flour in a bowl and added l teaspoon cinnamon. I put the berries with the flour and the last thing I added was l teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. I have been buying Meyer lemons at Cashwise in Fargo. They have a very thin skin and are very moist versus the other lemons with thick skin and we found them to be too dry. I then put my mixture into a graham cracker shell and baked for over l hour. I do not like liquidy pie in the center for I baked it for maybe even longer until it was nice and baked. Yummy! and vegan and you an use whatever crust you like. ENJOY!

Gluten free cookies

This was purely an experiment and it turned out well on the first try :)

I didnt measure anything except the flax egg replacer and the arrowroot powder, everything else was eyeballed and to taste. These measurements are all approximate.

1c gluten free all purpose flour
1-1 1/2c quinoa, ground to a course flour
1/3c almond meal
4Tbs flax meal mixed with 8Tbs hot water
1/3c oil
1/2c packed brown sugar
1/2c cane crystals
1Tbs lemon juice
1tsp almond extract
1-2tsp cinnamon
1c chopped dried fruit, or any dried fruit of choice like raisins, currents, cranberries etc.

Preheat oven to 400*F
Combine flours in mixing bowl, add all other ingredients except dried fruit and mix well. It should be the consistency of a firm and sticky dough ball.
Place tablespoons of dough on sprayed cookie sheet and bake for 10min. Remove from oven and cookie sheet. Cool and eat :)
