Clara's Healthy Din-Cookies

My current "favorite kid" in my circle of friends is little Clara - because she loves pastry of all kinds and thus appreciates my hobby! Shortly after she had learned my name ("Din"), her mom returned home with the Christmas cookies that we had baked together. Since then, all kinds of cookies and sweets are also called "Din" by Clara, which makes me very proud!
Since Clara had been ill last week, I wanted to bake her some healty cookies for her cookie jar and that's how I made up the recipe for these cookies with spelt whole grain flour, brown sugar, and oats.
Also, I got to use the little cookie cutters wich my dad had given me for Christmas :-)
I thought that the "Dins" did taste a bit healthy, but Clara apparently likes them very much!

Whole-grain sourdough bread "Rudi"

Since we just had a big food scandal in the bakery chain "Müller Brot " here in Bavaria, I'm very happy once more to be able to bake my bread by myself, well knowing exactly what goes into it - which is a surprisingly small number of ingredients! The recipe for this whole-grain rye bread was perfectioned by my sister and based on the bread that our grandmother used to bake with sourdough.  We called the newly created sourdough "Rudi" like our granddad, as  sourdoughs are usually considered male. I've learned to bake it and have managed not to forget to keep back some of the sourdough back for the next bread, because that would be the end of the Rudi dynasty!
