1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegan margarine
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup raw sugar
1/4 cup applesauce

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together vegan margarine, vegetable shortening, and raw sugar.
Add in applesauce and almond extract, and continue to mix.
Shift in all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix slowly for 1 minute, then increase speed of mixer to about medium until all the ingredients come together to form a dough.
Use a cookie scooper to scoop the almond cookies out onto a cookie sheet. Lightly press the vegan dough rounds with your thumb to flatten them for even cooking and to create an indentation for the almonds.
Place 1 almond in the indentation of each vegan almond cookie. Bake for 15 minutes until cookies are puffed up and brown.
Place on cooling sheet to cool and store in an air tight container at room temperature.
In this video I hope to shed some light on the role of strontium on bone health. Studies show that high doses of calcium don’t have much of an effect on bone health, but supplemental strontium does. Eating foods rich in strontium will ensure you’re getting all you need for lifelong strong and healthy bones.

Firefighter Rip Esselstyn shows some of the non-froo froo low fat vegan recipes from his new book.
Austin Texas firefighter, Rip Esselstyn, made a bet with a fellow firefighter, JT: if JT would just eat the way Rip ate for 28 days, then JT’s cholesterol would come down from 364 to 150.
JT’s father and grandfather had both died in their 50s from heart attacks, so bringing JT’s cholesterol down was crucial for him .
Rip won the bet — and saved JT’s life.
Look at the food the all the guys in the fire house in Austin are eating now — then get a copy of Rip’s book and start eating this way yourself:
Dr. Doug Graham speaks on September 28th, 2008 in New York City.

Yeah dude, you should try converting to a vegetarian. I’ll still eat meat, but not most of the time. You don’t need to be a full, hardcore vegan, but you can just try to be a vegetarian man. It’ll help you live longer for sure.
