Guest guest Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Lynn, I am thankful you are part of this good group... thanks for sharing these tips and recipes... d From: DrRevLynn@... <DrRevLynn@...> Subject: How I cook my meat, Breakfast Muffins/Bars, Biscuits, and tasty treats Coconut Oil Date: Wednesday, November 24, 2010, 5:04 AM  Dear Group, Since you liked the Holiday recipes I sent, I thought I would ensure you had a tasty breakfast muffin for those long hours in the kitchen! Let me know what you think if you try them. We enjoy them and add various seeds and nuts to the mix. We use a coffee grinder for grinding them freshly each time we bake. These are the last ones I will send, I realize this is not a baking class... smiles. Besides I am sure you all have plenty of cool recipes that you do not need my help. Below I filled in the gap to help with breakfast treats the missing biscuits, and pie crust! Enjoy I thought I should clarify how and why I cook my meat in the manner that I do because of cancer and autism in how we try to keep our body healthy by using foods to deliver lots of what we need naturally. Of course we use some herbals and supplements on the side but there is nothing like a good array of foods with lots of color in your diet! In this group saying these statements are like preaching to the choir. (smiles) I know it was thrown out there to the group how we use coconut in our diets so I thought I would attempt to offer many ways this can be done. I would also like to see how you do yours, what are your recipes for coconut success? I love to just throw herbs, seeds, and nuts on top of the meat I am cooking it is healthy and you do not need a flour coating for flavor. In addition I should add I twice cook ALL my meat with a 20-30 minute cool down in between. Reasoning is there are many parasites in our meat we eat. The first cooking kills adults. we cook the meat completely (no blood). Then during the 20-30 minute cool down period the parasite casting break open and the babies, eggs, or larvae are exposed. (normally you have eaten it so this happens inside of you the new host). The second cooking kills the babies, eggs, or larvae. Now in our home we deem our meat safe to eat or add into a casserole and so on. I know we are a picky bunch but I am not fond of cancer and not happy about the fact each cancer I have had, had a nasty little bugger in the very middle of the tumor. I am just saying no with parasite control. (smiles) Hope this made sense and I did not creep you out to awful bad. We also do parasite cleanses from time to time, just in case. Recap: 1. Cook ALL meat once fully. (no rare bloody meat) 2. Depending on size or weight of meat allow to cool down 20-30 minutes. 3. Recook meat for 20-30 minutes depending on weight of meat.

Add the milk all at once and stir to moisten all the flour and shortening. Dough should be very wet. Dust a surface with flour, turn the dough onto the surface and dust top with more flour. Knead the dough about seven times and fold over in half once. Pat the folded dough into a circle about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Cut the biscuits with a two inch cookie or biscuit cutter (or glass) and place on the prepared pan with a little space between the biscuits or touching. Bake 10-15 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.

Make a well in the center of the flour mix and add remaining ingredients, mixing well. Add more milk if dough looks too dry. The dough should be wet and sticky. Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto prepared cookie sheet (you should get 12 biscuits). Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Notes: Experiment with adding shredded cheese and other flavors like garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, oregano, etc. for a different flavor. A great combo is shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder! Start out with about 1 cup of shredded cheese and 1/2 -1 teaspoon garlic powder.
