Salty and Sweet Strawberry Porridge

 Muesli, Porridge, Strawberry, Red

My husband and I love oatmeal porridge for breakfast. Sometimes we change it up and add ingredients that are not traditional. Here are some great Slow-Cooker porridges for example.  

Today's Sweet and Salty Porridge with Strawberries capitalizes on our rather eccentric but diverse tastes for combinations of flavours and textures.  

Sometimes I get even more carried away, but today I decided against including nuts and bananas.  This porridge is, of course, Gluten-free and Vegan (no dairy, eggs or other animal products).  

Begin with a medium to large pot with a close-fitting lid and add:

  • Steelcut Oats (use the quantity you want for your family following directions on package-- use GF oats for those who are gluten-sensitive or have Coeliac disease)
  • Water (cover the oats by about 1 1/2 inches or use the instructions on package)
  • Organic Thompson Raisins (1/4 cup to handful, as you desire-- I went with the handful)
  • 2 T. dry Chiaseed
  • Pinch of Seasalt
  • Optional: 1/4 C. Dulse broken into small pieces (I used Wild Atlantic Cold-Smoked with Applewood Dulse)
Bring the above to a boil over medium high heat.  Reduce to Low and put on the lid.  Cook for about another 10-15 minutes (or longer if you like it even softer; may have to add more liquid).

Remove pot from heat and add to each bowlful:

  • Sweetener (I used organic cane sugar today)
  • Light sprinkle of kosher salt
  • Fresh, ripe, cut up organic strawberries
  • Plant milk/ plant-based yogurt

Spunky Monkey DIY Vegan Chocolate-Chia Ice Cream

Vegan, plant-based, and 100% delicious! This creamy homemade ice cream will win over everyone— no politics, just pure joy. Vegan and Delicious: Everyone Will Love This! Sometimes the word "vegan" evokes strong feelings like anxiety (as in "Please don't take away my meat") and/or hostility (as in "What a bunch of commie flakes all vegans are"). There are probably good reasons for both of these passionate emotions because we frequently come across strident, fear-mongering diatribes online blasting us from the ivory towers of the most raging animal-freedom activist or the highly evangelistic plant-based health advocate. "Plant-based" is an alternate description for a lifestyle choice to eat from the array of fruit, greens, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Using the term "plant-based" instead of "vegan" may be less intimidating. It even sounds like, although the diet has a plant-based foundation, it possibly includes meat and eggs...

G7 2025: Why It Matters

  57th G7 Summit- Wikipedia commons. What is the G7? 🤝 The Group of Seven (G7) is a forum of seven wealthy, democratic nations: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, along with the European Union . It started in 1975 as the G6 to coordinate responses to global economic shocks like inflation and oil shortages. Canada joined in 1976 to form the G7(1). Russia was briefly part of the group (making it the G8), but was expelled in 2014 after invading Crimea (2). How Does It Work? The G7 is informal — there’s no permanent office, headquarters, or constitution . One country hosts the summit each year and sets the agenda. Leadership rotates annually among the member countries in a fixed order (3). The summit itself is usually a 3-day event where world leaders meet in private for discussions, photo ops, and joint statements (although this year’s format is changing — more on that later). What’s the Point? The G7’s original mission was to tackl...
