Snow Day

Last night we received at least 8” of snow.  The day is  monochromatic, all shades of blue.  It was also much colder- around 10 degrees and as soon as the sun went down it was below zero.  Fox Creek Road is closed due to drifting and snown. The last two runs were sketchy; the wind was cold enough to discourage Gary from running and made him worry about hypothermia.  Today he decided to stay home.

So we are sending out his Pinole Bar recipe to you.  It is a combination of a couple on the web, plus a little tinkering on his part.

1.5 cups toasted masa harina

½ c. Amaranth flour

3T. Chia seeds

6T. Brown sugar

3t. Cinnamon powder

1t. salt

1c. chopped raisins

2 eggs

6T. Honey

4T. Almond Butter

1 ½ c water

Mix well.  Put in 9x9 baking sheet (buttered).  Cook at 320 degrees for 40 minutes.

Cut while still warm into bars and enjoy!
