Can they be GLUTEN-FREE vanilla wafers? Since gluten/wheat are VERY inflammatory and cause major health issues, we have quit wheat (since reading life-changing book WHEAT BELLY) and what a difference! I haven’t felt this good in years. They say it takes your body seven years to rid itself of the sludge of inflammatory build-up in the colon from wheat. I can’t believe that my stomach is gone and I am eating anything I want except wheat.
So I would love to learn how to do anything wheat-free if you have thoughts on that!
Love the vanilla soother!

I am so glad I tried both the chocolate soother, and vanilla soother! They are AWESOME!!!! my whole family loved it! Thank you so much for such a great recipe, and healthy too! I used almond milk instead of whole milk because I am nursing and my baby is sensitive to it, and it worked just as good as the whole milk I made for the rest of my family. For my husband it was sweet enough, and for me I would cut down on the sugar maybe half, and next time I will try stevia for half of it maybe. SO GOOOOOD!

I know this is a way old post, but after you reposted it recently, and then again with the mint extract today, I thought I would go ahead and ask. I made this maybe 2 weeks ago and we didn’t like it. Now, I don’t use pure ingredients like sucunat (sp?) or arrowroot powder, so I did the best I could. I realized that it was almost sounding like it could be eggnog, but I guess we are used to the very sweet eggnog on the grocery store shelf. My question is: should I try it again and be more particular with each step? I try to stay to exact directions, but I often get impatient. I did separate the egg whites and egg yolks though (I don’t that when I make waffles like they say to do in the cookbook I have.) Any tips, ladies? Has anyone made this and NOT liked it the first time around? Thanks!

There are a couple recipes that sound like what you’re describing in this ebook: http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/what-to-do-with-the-vanilla-in-your-kitchen

How about a great recipe for a healthy fruit dip using homemade vanilla. Would be a great addition to the summer fresh fruit out of the garden.

Whoops, looks like I just missed it…read too fast. LOL. I’ll have to try this once I get more “good” (pastured) eggs!

OK i know this recipe has been up for a while, but I’m just looking at it now :) Where does the butter come in? You have instructions for everything except the butter.

I made this for breakfast before, but today I changed it up a little bit. I added some pumpkin puree and some pumpkin pie spice. It was like drinking a pumpkin pie for breakfast, the kids and I loved it!!

Yes, I am terrible about remembering to do this! I will TRY to remember…and if I can (ever in my spare time) I will go back and edit posts to add this information!
