Good Summer Morning Chia Pudding



Here is a fast and easy Chia Pudding that is perfect for breakfast (or as dessert, etc etc etc).  Chia pudd fans will know what I mean...

 .                               .
The Recipe is pretty simple.  You can vary it as you like, but this combination is a winner at our home and I think we will continue to use this as a standard for a simple breakfast pudding.


I start by gathering together the ingredients and a wide-mouth Mason Jar with a lid.


The ingredients are:
  • 1/4 C. Chia Seed
  • 1/4 C. Liquid Honey (or other sweetener of choice)
  • 1/2 tspn. Vanilla Extract
  • 2 C. Soy Milk (or other non-dairy milk)
  • Strawberries and Blueberries (or other fruit/berry combinations) as you like

          
THE METHOD
  1. Put all the above ingredients (in order) into a quart-size Mason Jar
  2. Whisk ingredients together until thoroughly mixed, paying attention to bottom sticky seeds
  3. Put lid on jar and place in fridge overnight (or at least 4 hours.)
  4. Scoop pudding into small bowls or small jars (1/2 pint) and serve
Not sure why the 
Mason Jar method
works well, but it  
seems to do the trick...
The whole glom melds
together and there are
no big lumps if you 
do a thorough whisking 
at the start.
Enjoy!!

Pan-Fry Carrots (Roast Carrot Sticks)

Pan-roasted carrots (with some potato fries mixed in) Our younger son grows organic vegetables, fruit and berries on an off-grid community farm in the interior of BC.  We stopped in to see him the other day and came away with a load of last year's carrots, still as carrot-y flavoured and plump as the day they were dug from the ground, thanks to the hill-side root crop storage cellar.   Our granddaughters opted for fish and chips today for lunch, and some of the 'chips' were carrot chips.  They are also a great base for a roast carrot soup.  When you roast veggies, you get extra delicious flavour. PAN-FRY CARROTS (Roast Carrot Sticks) <more properly called: Oven-fried> Wash and scrape carrots.  Chip or slice into strips, as desired. Preheat Oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine: 1-2 T. Olive Oil 1 tsp.   Celtic Sea Salt 4-6     large straight Carrots , cut into chips or strips (as desired) Lay chips out on a cookie sheet

Yummy 3-Ingredient Organic Breakfast Cookies

The sugar? The eggs? The fat?"  Well, the good stuff is all in the ingredients-- this is a whole food recipe which means we aren't using derivatives, we're using the real food, and it doesn't need to be gussied up with animal products to have incredible mouth appeal (that is what fatty, sugary, salty, custard-y textures and tastes contribute).  So, I say, try 'em and if you're disappointed, well, add some of the other ingredients... COOKIE INGREDIENTS (all organic and non-GMO) 3 well-mashed Bananas 1 C. Old-Fashioned Oat Flakes 1/4 C.
