Quercetin is used for treating conditions of the heart and blood vessels including “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis), high cholesterol, heart disease, and circulation problems. It is also used for diabetes, cataracts, hay fever, peptic ulcer, schizophrenia, inflammation, asthma, gout, viral infections, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), preventing cancer, and for treating chronic infections of the prostate.

My family’s favorite fall recipe! This bread is so yummy it goes quickly. Note that my video has the amounts doubled because I made 2 loaves. Here is the recipe for one loaf:

1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup sugar
1 T baking powder
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup orange juice + 1/2 tsp citrus zest
1/2 cup water + 1 T flax seeds (soak for 5 minutes) **
1/3 cup oil
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin

optional: pumpkin seed, nuts, oats

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix well. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake 40-55 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before cutting and enjoy.

** In my video I did not have flax seed so I used ground flax. I still used the same amount of water that the recipe calls for. I would suggest using less water if you use ground flax since it takes the bread longer to cook due to the excess liquid. This contributes to the large cooking range I have given.
