Recipes and Pictures!



Barley Mint Superfood Breakfast Pudding and Cacao Vanilla Fudge~that's what's for B-fast..............Yummy!
Who says you can't eat dessert for breakfast?


Barley Mint Breakfast Pudding




In the Vita-mix or blender process until creamy:

1 small banana with about

2 c. of

mango

strawberries

blackberries or blueberries

1 heaping teaspoon of Just Barley Powder by Pure Planet

1 T. Manitoba Hemp Seeds

Blend and top with minced spearmint leaves or dried mint.

You may want to place it in the fridge to make it good and cold, if you are serving it to your children. This will allow the flavors to meld a bit more, especially if you are using dried mint leaves.


CACAO VANILLA FUDGE




1 1/2 c. of raw almonds (soaked for 1 hr. and then air dryed)~soaking is optional

1/2 c. raw tahini or raw almond butter

3 T. raw honey or agave

1 1/2 t. vanilla

2 T. cacao powder (you may use carob or cocoa powder)



Process almonds in food processor and then add tahini, honey, vanilla. Process until it is well mixed. Add cacao powder and process. You may need to add a tiny bit of water to get it to mix. Don't add too much.

Remove from processor and use hands to mix thoroughly if needed and then press into a small glass baking dish. Refrigerate for at least one hour if you can wait. Cut into small squares. You may also roll the mix into balls and coat with unsweetened shredded coconut, cacao, carob or crushed nuts.

Enjoy!!!

This is another picture of my Barley Mint Superfood Breakfast Pudding~this one has been blended down to a smooth consistency.  The picture at the top is a different variation. It is partially blended.  It was made with blueberries instead of the blackberries listed in the recipe....this picture is actually the one made with blackberries.  Use whatever berries and other fruits you have on hand to create your own Superfood B-fast Pudding.
 
 
I finally figured out how to post my pictures!  Previously my daughter took care of this for me...but she married and moved away.......but now that I kinda know what I'm doing I'll be posting more pictures of my food creations...

Crunchy Pea Salad~ Double Cacao Nib Ice Cream~

Yesterday I made a recipe similar to the one that Charlene Faris turned me on to, back in 1996. I met her at our local library. She was giving a free class on vegetarianism. I have changed it up quite a bit, but that is what is great about vegetables...they mix together so well.

CRUNCHY PEA SALAD

1 c. cooked or soaked quinoa
1-2 c. frozen peas (the more peas the sweeter)
4-6 garlic cloves~minced
1 large green onion~they whole thing~chopped
1-2 bell peppers
2 celery stalks diced
salt & pepper to taste

make italian dressing
olive oil~drizzle over it
lemon juice~splash
balsamic vinegar~splash
oregano
basil
dash of rosemary/thyme
I also added some italian blend herbs (pre-mixed)

sorry no measurements on the dressing...I just eyeball this

Mix this together and be amazed...it is delicious....and pretty much a complete meal


While checking my Facebook page today a friend mentioned she was eating cacao ice cream for B-fast....sounded good, so I hit the kitchen..

DOUBLE CACAO NIB ICE CREAM

1 1/2 frozen banana's
splash of unsweetened coconut milk
1 t. lucuma
approx. 1 T. of cacao powder
nibs to taste

I blended this in the Vita-Mix using the plunger and my son and I enjoyed a good serving of this and topped it with hemp seeds...
This made about 1 1/4 c. total...two reasonable servings of soft serve

I visited one of our local Farmer's Market's today...I was a little late, so I missed the greens...believe me, when I say I do not need anymore...
When my husband and I got married 10 1/2 years ago we were blending two families...5 children~3 boys and 2 girls...so we decided we needed two fridges...well since then we have acquired two more. Since we always buy in bulk this is very practical for us.. Right now, one of them is full of kefir water...seems it produces more than we can keep up with right now. I have to hibernate my grains..anyone know how to do this???
Anyway, back to the Farmer's Market. I purchased 4 cucumbers and a basket of beets. I love to be able to eat the skin of my cucumbers, and when they are fresh they are so crisp. I am soaking the beets right now to get the dirt off of them and I'll be making a beet salad for later. Spring Vegetables are so cleansing for the internal organs of the body. Take advantage of what is in season....and eat it raw if you can.
