Cooked Quinoa Cookies
good recipe here:
Quinoa Breakfast Cookies
Gluten-free
Makes about 2 dozen
These are high in fiber thanks to the almond meal, coconut flour and quinoa and can easily be veganized by switching out the butter for Earth Balance. You can also add ½ cup chopped apple or raisins if you like fruit in your cookies and sub ⅔ cup sucanat in place of the sugars.
¾ cup almond meal
⅔ cup GF Classical Blend flour, or your favorite gluten-free flour or blend
⅓ cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
A pinch ground nutmeg
1½ sticks (¾ cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
½ cup cooked quinoa
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line baking sheet with parchment. If you don’t want to use parchment, that’s fine. Just don’t grease the baking sheet.
2. In medium bowl, whisk together almond meal, flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. In large bowl, whisk together butter, quinoa, sugars, applesauce and vanilla. Stir flour mixture into butter-sugar mixture until combined.
3. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to rack. When completely cooled, store in airtight container for up to 3 day

China Fiction
via The Heart Scan Blog:
Dr. Colin Campbell caused a stir with publication of his 2005 book, The China Study. Dr. Campbell, after extensive animal and epidemiologic research conducted in China over 20 years, concluded that a diet high in animal protein, especially casein, was associated with increased cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease risk.
Richard Nikoley of Free the Animal and Stephan Guyenet of Whole Health Source have been talking about an analysis of the China Study raw data performed by a young woman named Denise Minger.
Denise's analysis is nothing short of brilliant, absolutely "must" reading for anyone interested in nutrition.
Her comments on the relationship of wheat to heart disease:
Why does Campbell indict animal foods in cardiovascular disease (correlation of +1 for animal protein and -11 for fish protein), yet fail to mention that wheat flour has a correlation of +67 with heart attacks and coronary heart disease, and plant protein correlates at +25 with these conditions?
Speaking of wheat, why doesn’t Campbell also note the astronomical correlations wheat flour has with various diseases: +46 with cervix cancer, +54 with hypertensive heart disease, +47 with stroke, +41 with diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs, and the aforementioned +67 with myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease?
