Stella says Goodbye

I hope you have enjoyed a small piece of the adventures in my life as Flat Ellie! Although it's hard to be flat sometimes, there are so many places I can and see because of it!

We have experienced a hiking trip, riding on my dog's back, seeing the Civil Rights Museum, exploring the flower wholesale business, and even making pop-up cards!

I hope you have enjoyed my blog!

From Eleanor:
This morning I woke up to find that my dog and Flat Ellie seemed to have bonded closer than I thought! They must really love each other. . .

I decided to make one of my favorite breakfast recipes this morning: Sweet Potato Biscuits! 

Here's the recipe.... Flat Ellie is helping me mash the sweet potato, and i'll do the rest. :-)

Sweet Potato Biscuits

2 cups sifted whole-wheat pastry flour         1 rounded cup mashed sweet potato

4 teaspoons baking powder                            2 tablespoons soymilk, almond milk, or

                                                                                    Cashew cream

Pinch of salt

1/3 cup soy margarine*

1/3 cup sunflower oil

(Instead of the very expensive soy margarine, double the sunflower oil, if avoiding butter.  Otherwise, substitute butter for soy margarine)

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Sift dry ingredients, then cut in margarine and oil.  Blend in potatoes.  Add mild to make a moist (slightly sticky) dough.

2. Drip in ¼ -cup measures on a dry cookie sheet.  Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. 

Yields 12 to 16 biscuits.
