  Breakfast can be yogurt, fresh fruit, nuts, granola, or even eggs and whole grain toast

  and cooked cereal, do not buy anything with added chemicals,

  Read all the labels on everything.

  Simple, protein can come from the peanut butter sandwich.

  Soups, made with tofu, chicken, vegtables, pasta.

  You can get roast chickens at Safeway or Vons, and fresh vegtables

  anywhere. Keep it simple.

  Bake some date squares with dates and oatmeal and whole

  wheat flour and real butter NO margarine.

  Natural fats, from nuts, oils, fish, and butter.

  SEA salt, its "saltier" and you need less.

  And it is from the Sea not a laboratory.

  Stay away from Coca Cola, Pepsi, and all soft Drinks,

  which contain sodium and the carbonation disolves bone and teeth.

  At night, put two cups of oatmeal and two cups of buttermilk in a bowl. Stir, cover and let sit overnight on the counter or in the refrigerator.

  In the morning put the oatmeal/buttermilk in the food processor and add 2 eggs, 1/2 cup flour, 2 tsps. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of oil to the oatmeal. Process until nearly smooth - mainly to chop up the oatmeal and to combine the ingredients. The pancakes have much better texture if processed in the food processor or blender than if mixed by hand.

  Make pancakes as usual from this batter. I promise you they are wonderful, and taste good with just a sprinkle of powdered sugar and some fresh lemon juice - much less sugar than she would eat if she used syrup or jam on the pancakes.

  It makes a lot of batter, but it keeps in the frig for up to a week. If it gets too thick, just add a little milk or water as needed. I figured out the calories once -- if you make 16 pancakes from the batter, each is a little less than 100 calories.

  "IamCool" the research on Coconut Oil is very exciting and the best part about it, is at their age it can only help.

  Arboles Coconut Oatmeal Lemon Cookies. I double the recipe so I can bring the cookies to the kind ladies at the High School.

  Single Batch

  Dry Ingredients Sugar and Wet Ingredients

  3.5 cups good rolled oats 1.5 sticks of butter (4oz sticks)

  1.5 cups of flour 2 oz of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (must be E.V. Coco Oil) or 4oz and reduce butter to 4oz if you desire

  1/2 tsp salt a strong coconut flavor, I found 2 oz or 3oz is very powerful.

  1/2 tsp baking soda 1 cup of white sugar

  1 cup of brown or dark brown sugar packed hard.

  1 tsp of excellent vanilla extract

  2 eggs

  fresh orange zest.

  Option Ingredients

  dried candied orange peel

  dried cherries

  chocolate chips unsweetened

  .5 tsp lemon extract

  raisins or craisans to taste

  dried coconut flakes (1/2 cup) with 1 cup chocolate chips

  is the secretary and high school counselors favorite.

  Take the butter at room temperature along with the amount of E.V. coco-oil you decided Pre-heat oven to 330 to 350 depending on your oven's true temperature range.

  add the two sugars in your mixer and turn into a golden cream color. Room temp allows the butter and sugar to properly mix and creates a airly texture for the cookies. Don't be stingy with your "beating time".

  2. Add the two eggs, Vanilla extract and Orange Zest and beat for two or three minutes on low to a fluffy texture.

  In the giant bowel you are using, start adding the dry ingredients you mixed by hand together. Dumping a handful into your buttery mixture allows a proper coating of butter E.V. Coco Oil.

  add the optionals when all the core ingredients are done, chocolate and coconut flakes or ???????

  Wax paper on a cookie sheet, roll into a golf-ball size and bake for twenty three to twenty eight minutes, do check at twenty minutes to seeif they are browing enough. If they are not browning to your desired color, move the oven up to 360 degrees for the first fifteen minutes and drop it down to 330 for the remaining time in the oven. Experiment.
