Chocolate Cherry Spent Grain Cookies
"Hubby has started home-brewing with a vengeance. Which means we have a lot of spent grain I don't want to waste. He brewed a cranberry wheat the other day which I dried, threw in the food processor and now have spent grain flour to work with."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love to cook, and I love to eat (don't they go hand in hand?). I'm really good at following recipies, or improvising with what I have. I prefer to improvise though- I am more adventurous that way.
My mother is one of the best cooks I know, and I keep trying to get her to put recipes together for me, but it hasn't happened yet.
My fiance and I have a Shiba Inu puppy (well hes a yr but he'll always be my puppy), Kuma, and I love baking him some yummy treats! He's also a fantastic cook.
