thoughtful consumption

This year, I’m baking Christmas with walnut-craisin biscotti. It’s the only thing I bake well enough to give as a gift.

The original recipe is Martha Stewart’s. My changes are

• spelt flour instead of whole-wheat,
• craisins instead of raisins,
• chopping up the walnut halves, and
• cutting the sugar to ¼ cup (or less)

Not too sweet and makes the best breakfast or afternoon snack.

So far, I’ve made four loaves worth. Well, five if you count the one I forgot to add the sugar to. I get to keep that one. It’s surprisingly good, and a little honey makes it perfect.

Four more loaves to go before Friday. Wish me luck!
