Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prior to my Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis, I shopped like pretty much any other American woman. I used stuff from packages and cans and boxes and did not think much of it. Since the diagnosis, however, I've leaned toward a diet that consists of raw fruits and vegetables, beans, nuts and whole unprocessed grains.
- 1 Corinthians 15:57
The healthiest flour available is a stone ground wheat flour, a healthy form of the whole wheat grain. As I was shopping the other day, I passed by the boxes of baking mix and saw this one - we have a winner!!!!! It is whole grain!
A whole grain alternative at last!!!!!!!!!! I can eat pancakes again! How exciting is that??????? This is not a breakfast to have every single day, but it offers some variety for me. I still have the protein shake most days for breakfast, but at least I don't feel so much like a freak of nature. I can have a couple of pancakes again once in a while with this stuff! I do use a sugar-free syrup also, of course.
I have a recipe to share with you today. These scones are the perfect companion for all those wonderful Christmas teas you'll be enjoying!
Cinnamon-Stevia Scones
Makes 8 scones
Mix 3 cups whole wheat baking mix and 1/4 cup stevia powder.
Whisk together 1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt, 1/3 cup 2% milk and 1Tbsp. vanilla extract.
Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in 1 cup cinnamon chips.
On lightly floured surface, knead dough gently 10 times. Pat into 9" circle. Sprinkle with cinnamon-stevia powder.
Cut into 8 wedges; place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
These scones are wonderful with hot herbal tea! So good - and good for you! As we get closer to Thanksgiving, I am indeed thankful for all the little creature comforts in my life - the simple pleasures really are the best!
