BUCKAROO COOKIES WITH FARINETTA

Buckwheat farinetta is a wonderful help for insulin resistance.  They contain D-Chiro-Inositol, which is helpful, especially if you have PCOS.

I buy the farinetta, which is the outer hulls of buckwheat, from Minn-Dak growers on the web.  I freeze the farinetta, and when the cookies are made, I freeze the cookies.  They are delicious, and balanced in protein and carb.  The cookies hardly even disturb my blood glucose.
