1/3 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
2. In a large bowl, stir together whole wheat flour, white flour, rolled oats, baking soda and salt. Gently mix in the buttermilk until a soft dough is formed. Knead very lightly. Divide dough into 4 pieces; form into rounded flat loaves. Mark each loaf with an 'X' and place on prepared baking sheets.
3. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 to 45 minutes.

3. Season and mash potatoes well. Stir in cooked leeks and milk. Blend in the kale or cabbage and heat until the whole is a pale green fluff. Make a well in the center and pour in the melted butter. Mix well.
Thats a lot of leftovers! L0L

Ingredients
5 squares (1-oz./28 g each) white chocolate
1/4 cup (50 mL) whipping cream
4 oz. (125 g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp. (2 mL) liquid green food colouring

5. Melt the chocolate chips or green melting wafers in a double boiler over hot water, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over top of the chilled pie, then return to the refrigerator until set. If you wish, you can decorate the top of the pie with additional green candies or sprinkles before serving.
