Almond Flour Cinnamon Bread

By autodidact

 After the success of the  Banana Bread recently, I thought I'd try a variation. It did not disappoint.



Combine in one bowl:

5 eggs

1 1/2 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 Tablespoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

3 cups almond flour

1/2 cup xylitol or monk fruit

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

4 Tablespoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Stir until blended, put in a greased loaf pan and bake at 300° for about an hour and 15 minutes. Don't forget to add the coconut oil after you melt it in the microwave, like I did. It was quite good without the oil, surprisingly not too dry, and reminded me of Irish Soda bread. Next time, I will add the oil, and I am sure it will be even better.

             Christmas   Greetings from the Marinos! A few news items from our house: Deb officially adopted Gypsy and works at the barn for her room and board when she is not doing her paramedic job or making beautiful quilts. Sometimes she is working on our side of town and crashes at our place and then hangs out with us for a while. I love it when she does that! Lewis and Kaitlynn tied the knot just this month! We are all so happy for the newly wedded couple and thankful Kaitlynn is a part of our family. Margie and James and their passel of cats continue to live in warm, sunny AZ. Margie traveled to San Diego and also conquered her fear of flying alone and came to Cleveland for the wedding. Jared is working steadily toward his associates degree and continues to write, create, make music and entertain his siblings. He recently taught himself how to bind books, and he is becoming conversational in Italian.

 Greetings and salutations to all from the Marino Famiglia!  God has been good to us this year, as always. Here are some highlights: Deb has reached a new high (literally) in her career. She is currently in training as a critical care team medic with the Cleveland Clinic. She will have to work on the ground initially, but ultimately hopes to be in the sky. Here, she is training in the whirly bird! She also works at a farm where her horse, Gypsy lives. She recently gave us a tour of the farm and introduced us to many animals. Lewis graduated Trooper Academy near the top of his class and is loving his career in law enforcement as an Ohio State Trooper. Apparently, cars are not the only vehicle that Troopers are responsible for. Lewis made the front page of his local paper! Lewis also got a chance to ride up in the sky with some Troopers to see what it's like up there. (The plane below, is NOT the one he was riding in). Margaret moved to sunny Arizona in July and is enjoying the warm

Reasons Not to Home Educate

By
Frequently, I hear reasons people give for not home educating. You may have heard these from others, or maybe you are hearing them inside your head! My kids and I will just butt heads if we homeschool, so it's better that they go to school.  Really? You butt heads with your kids? You have disagreements with them? How strange. Um, every parent has this issue; it just comes with the territory we call parenthood. Home education will probably not make that worse (it may even make it better) as long as the parent acts like an adult. I don't think I can handle the academics. Elementary grade academics are pretty simple, so I assume they are talking about middle or high school work. At least I hope so. Guess what? I really don't have a clue what my kid's Chemistry book is talking about; and I do not understand half of the stuff in his math book either. It's not my job to understand it, but if I do, great! It's my kid's job to figure it out, and if I have given
