All About Fruit
When most Mormons try to live the WoW Diet, they start thier families on a boring boring boring diet of oatmeal and whole wheat bread! I remember my mother attempting a diet closer to the WoW and serving us "boiled wheat" for breakfast....yeah, try that one under an hour! So, today I'm adding links that I've found to help us be more confident in finding, selecting and using fresh fruit!

Anne's Home-made Cereal
Because of the corn allergies that we have in this house, we can not buy cereal in a box from the store. So, we've spent years experimenting with granola recipes and have finally come up with one that we really enjoy as a cereal each morning.
Here it is:
Add to mixer and mix for several minutes:
3 c. steel cut organic oats (oats absorb more pesticide than any other grain, so organic is a good idea!)
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. flax seed
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
1 c. chopped pecans (we break them in half by hand)
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. honey
Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with (Canola) Pam.
Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
add 3/4 c. raisins (if you add them before cooking, they swell)
store in an airtight container

Whole Wheat 60 Minute Rolls
1/2 cup warm water
2 t. yeast
3 T. sugar
Mix together and set aside until bubbles form on top.
1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 t. salt
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup of milk
Mix
Add 1/3 c. white and 1/3. cup whole wheat flour and mix.
Pour onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place in a greased bowl and then place that bowl inside a larger bowl that is about 1/4 full of hot water. Cover with a damp cloth. Place in a warm area to rise for 40 minutes.
Turn dough out onto floured board. Divide into three and shape. Roll each "blob" into a circle. Cut each circle into 8 wedges, like a pizza. Then start at the wide edge and roll to center. The end result looks like a mini croissant. Cover; let rise in warm place free from draft (about 90 F) for 15 minutes.
Bake at 425 F for 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.

THE DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS SECTION 89
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, February 27, 1833. HC 1: 327–329. As a consequence of the early brethren using tobacco in their meetings, the Prophet was led to ponder upon the matter; consequently he inquired of the Lord concerning it. This revelation, known as the Word of Wisdom, was the result. The first three verses were originally written as an inspired introduction and description by the Prophet.
1 A Word OF Wisdom, for the benefit of the council of high priests, assembled in Kirtland, and the church, and also the saints in Zion—
2 To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the aword of wisdom, showing forth the order and will of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days—
3 Given for a principle with promise, adapted to the capacity of the weak and the weakest of all saints, who are or can be called saints.
4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation—
5 That inasmuch as any man drinketh bwine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.
6 And, behold, this should be wine, yea, pure wine of the grape of the vine, of your own make.
7 And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.
8 And again, tobacco is not for the body, neither for the belly, and is not good for man, but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be used with judgment and skill.
9 And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.
10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—
11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.
12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.
14 All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
15 And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.
16 All grain is good for the food of man; as also the bfruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground—
17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.
18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones;
19 And shall find bwisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures;
20 And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint.
21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.
