Whole wheat pasta/7 recipes

These Asian inspired cookies are so good, tahini and sesame give the cookies tangy and nutty flavor.

Turned out very fluffy, hot out of the oven I ate about 5 of them right away. Lightly warm spiced with sweetness from the sweet potato. You won't find these in any store.

The pasta and rapini are tossed with a flavorful and creamy white bean and anchovy sauce. The ingredients are so inexpensive, but they create a delicious and wholesome meal.

It's hard to be not tasty when there are fresh mint and chocolate chips in cookies. If you have lots of fresh mint growing at your back yard, these delicious chocolate chip mint cookies should definitely be on your "to-bake" list!

Roasting develops lot of delicious flavor, the roasted garlic makes this roasted and garlicky paste that adds tons of flavor into the pasta.

Forget the store-bought granola bars that are always way too sweet and not necessarily as healthy as you think.

Gruyère Whole Wheat Biscuits with Herbs recipe

Almost Whole Wheat Lemon Poppyseed Muffins recipe

Pineapple stuffed empanadas. A delicate pastry style dough with a filling of pineapple and apricot jam. Perfect for afternoon tea or healthy snacks for the kids or guests.

Whole roasting a chicken is a great way to economize. This herb roasted chicken always turns out moist and juicy with great flavor. I then package the leftover meat one cup at a time into zipper bags and store in the freezer for later use in casseroles or hashes. Then using the remains I made a homemade chicken stock that is much better than any store bought stock.

In this recipe, we use whole wheat pastry flour and all purpose flour, reduce the amount of the sugar, let the cookies appear much more healthy.

Delicious cookies are packed with goodness too.

This recipe is over 100 years old. I add a twist to the recipe (and a little sweetness) by adding some golden raisins, like my favorite restaurant in Provincetown, Mass., does.

These yummy treats are made with whole wheat flour, oats, applesauce, vegetable oil and a tiny amount of butter, which adds lots of heart-healthy ingredients to the cookies without losing any bit of deliciousness. Especially when peanut butter and chocolate chips are involved, make sure to bake enough, because they disappear quicky.
