Chard Rolls
4 Chard leaves
2 Medium size potatoes
1 Carrot
1/2 of an onion – sliced
1 Clove of garlic
The potatoes are cooked in water. Once cooked they are drained and placed in a bowl with the carrots and made into a puree. The garlic and onion are also added to this puree.
The chard leaves are washed and separated. They are then placed in very hot water but making sure that they do not cook too much. Each leaf is spread out and with a knife; the base of the leaf is cut off and discarded. In the center of the leaf a spoonful of the pure is placed. Once enough pure is placed then each leaf is rolled up and put onto a serving dish. The rolls are then ready to be served.

Oatmeal Cake or Cookie
- 2 cups (equivalent to 16 oz.) of whole grain organic oatmeal. The oats must be in a powder form so this can be done by placing the oats in blender (or food processor) for a few seconds until they are the right consistency

For added flavor you can pour some orange juice or liquid from raisins (this is made when raisins are stewed overnight in water to help them become softer. Once the raisins have been sitting in water they turn the water into a sweet nectar that can be added to the cake/cookie). Chopped fruit can also be added. Place all ingredients in a oven safe cake pan or cookie sheet and bake in oven (350 degrees Fahrenheit) until it’s brown.
