Healthy Pie Crust Recipe

Most store-bought pie crusts have so many artificial ingredients and trans fats so I decided to make my own. It was so much easier than I thought. So far I have made an apple pie and a strawberry pie with this crust recipe. I'll never buy a pie crust again.

Healthy Pie Crust Recipe
2 cups of flour

Sift the flour and salt into a big bowl. Mix the milk and oil in a measuring cup. Pour the oil mixture into the bowl. Stir. It turns into dough. Use your fingers to press the dough into a glass pie pan and bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes.

Healthy Date Cookie Cake Recipe

This is cake/muffin dessert that is sweet, moist and satisfying. It's easy to modify by adding chocolate, nuts or fruit. It's one of my favorites when I want cake but don't want all that fat. The only fats in it are natural, mostly unsaturated compared to any store bought cake or box cake mix.
