Waldorf Presentation in Moapa Valley.

Today I was honored to give a talk on the Waldorf method at a homeschool symposium in Moapa Valley. After the speakers presented we each had a table where we could interact with the attendees and answer questions.

The picture above is a sampling from my table :)

I always pray to know what to say but I always find that God would rather I listen to others. I felt so inspired with these families today and even had a very direct answer to prayer come my way. :-)

Many blessings!

Amazing Banana Chocolate Brownies. Gluten free, diary free- 230 calories

These brownies are everything you want from a dessert - soft, yielding, delicate flavors playing off one another. Did I mention they are only about 230 calories for a big piece?

You have got to try them!

I modified a recipe we used during a Young Women's activity night to create these.

Did I also mention these are healthy AND Gluten free?

Perfection in a food.

1 c oat flour
1/2 c cacao powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 c stevia powder
1/3 c oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 c chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat to 350. Mix the wet ingredients in a bowl, in another bowl mix the dry ingredients. Add the wet to dry until just mixed. Place in a well greased 8x8 pan and bake for 20-30 minutes. Top with chocolate chips if desired.

Makes 6 brownies.
You are very welcome :-D
