If you do not know they are there, does it still count as a vegetable?

Does zucchini hidden in zucchini bread or cake still count as a vegetable?

Does Banana bread still count as a fruit?

How about carrots hidden in cakes or brownies — does that count?

I think that if you use a better quality organic sugar and since it is sweeter you can easily use less of it AND if you use Vita-Spelt flour which has a higher protein content and less allergans — THEN you have a comfort food that is NOT junk food.

I still am not sure if you can actually call it a vegetable, but I know that it is not empty calories or in any way to be considered junk.

I am so excited to share all my recipes and stories with you in “The Holistic Cookie” (coming soon). I am really looking forward to your questions and comments.

In the meantime, feel free to post any comments or questions here.

Do hidden vegetables count as a vegetable? What do you think?

How can a cookie be Holistic? What does Holistic mean?

Holistic means that we are WHOLE people. (somewhere along the line they dropped the “w”) Any aspect of our lives can be called Holilstic if it meets the 3 objectives of including all 3 aspects of a Whole person — that is: Body, Mind and Spirit.

For cooking we address body-mind-spirit in this way to make it Holistic –

1. Upgrade your Ingredient list by choosing organic food, high protein flour, fair trade whole sugar and other higher quality ingredients.

2. Consciously choose to add more fruits and vegetables to everything. “The Holistic Cookie” will teach you how to hide them in your favorite cookies, cakes, etc. You know they are there so it can satisfy your mind. But they are hidden so that part of you that needs comforting still gets attention. Plus you do Not get that sugar overload that only makes you more depressed and more hungry. What a relief! Satisfying Confort food!

3. Take a moment to appreciate the gift of better nutrition you are giving yourself. Thank yourself, your cook, your Creator. Smile and be happy. Accept the comfort you are creating.

Welcome to my new blog. I am here to tell you about my forthcoming book “The Holistic Cookie — Increase the Quality of your Diet Easily and with Less Effort”.

Here is my unique point of view. We need Comfort Food. Comfort Food is here to stay. Why not face that fact and go with it? I know the secret of how to improve Comfort Food and make it Highly Nutritious Holistic Comfort Food that is no longer junk food. 

Here is one of the secrets — it tastes Great! Your mind will never suspect that it is good for you. But your body will be happier and more energized because it is getting the nutrition it is craving. 

More about this later. I welcome all comments.
