"Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding"


This actually is really good "pudding." Recipe found at Paleo Omg here. 

I just added about a teaspoon of raw honey. It calls for a tablespoon.
It seems that it would be great with maple syrup too.
I have to stay low glycemic, so I go easy on the natural sugars too.

Her's just looks more appetizing. :)

Whole Wheat Waffles & Non-GMO

This picture and whole wheat waffle recipe is from Vitamix.com. I've used many recipes from their website to make things in my Vitamix and they have all turned out great!

 My mix of dry ingredients...

1 cup Organic Whole Wheat (Bob's Red Mill)
1 cup Organic Unbleached White Flour
1 tablespoon Baking Powder (Rumford Aluminum/GMO Free)
1 teaspoon Sea Salt

Then all the wet ingredients for the batter go straight into the blender...
  I used...

2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 Organic Eggs (egg substitute chia seeds, etc.)
2 tablespoon Raw Organic Honey (Honey down below is so so good!)
4 oz Organic Tofu (You ALWAYS want GMO free soy!)



Click on the highlighted links for good information on why to buy GMO free, especially soy...USDA Organic Soy & GMO's = not good.

Top Genetically Modified Foods...Corn and Soy are ALWAYS at the top of every list and also in just about every single piece of processed food you buy cereals, chips, popcorn, granola bars, crackers, baby foods, baby formula, pre-made mixes, animal feed, dairy, etc. Check out this list of more GMO foods. These kinds of foods are especially harmful to kids. The government is allowing so many more GMO foods. Would you ever think Sugar Beets (one variety of beets) to be a GMO food? Beets have the highest content of sugar of all vegetables, all natural, but when it's processed into refined sugar it loses all nutritional value and is just plain sugar and no bueno for our bodies. All of this GMO stuff is terrible, just terrible! The best way to avoid GMO foods/products is to make your own food and know what you are feeding your body. Also, a lot of health foods will definitely say right on their product "Non-GMO." I'm not saying you should never eat gmo's, but it should be very minimal.


Then take out the plug on top of the lid and put the dry ingredients into the batter and let it mix.


Put some frozen or fresh berries on top and enjoyed this nice & simple meal!

Tomato Coconut Basil Soup


A friend gave them this recipe from another friend and it's super easy and best part is my kids loved it with some noodles! Her friend's recipe...

Tomato Basil Soup  

"This one minute soup is a healthy alternative to a Martha Stewart classic that bursts with such flavor, you'll want to cheer!"

-1 quart Classico Spaghetti Sauce
-2 (13 oz) cans coconut cream
-1 Tablespoon dried basil

*Classico brand is sold in packs of 3 at Costco. Or your choice of sauce. Sugar-free is better.
*Coconut cream is sold at Good Earth and probably other health food stores. 
*Try part coconut milk w/ any other milk...rice, soy, almond, or diary.
*Along with the basil I put in more spices.

Here it is with the added organic noodles...

Raspberry Breakfast

 These raspberries are so so good...amazing! They are sold off and on at Costco. They are an incredible deal and I hope they stay that way. The last batch I bought was Organic for $4.49. I can't remember how many ounces, but it's the same amount as the pic above. 

We love eating them plain and also in cereal. Wheat flakes and Ezekiel Sprouted Grains Cereal with organic almond milk.
