Seed Pancakes

Seed Pancakes

This combination of seeds guarantees a good intake and ratio of essential fats.

Note: Using healthy fats to burn on (for energy) is better fuel than burning on sugars, which causes more fermentation and lactic acids.

Make sure you start with very fresh organic raw seeds and nuts
(order from Jaffe Bros. www.OrganicFruitsandNuts.com or call 1-760-749-1133 to order).

Preparation: Measure out seeds and mix together:
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup raw sesame seeds
1/2 cup raw flax seeds

In a coffee grinder, grind the seeds to flour in 1/3 cup batches. (or grind all at once in your Vita Mix blender to flour)

Measure out one cup and put in a bowl for the pancake recipe. Store the rest in fridge or freezer for another time.

Ingredients:
1 cup seed flour
1 cup millet or spelt flours, or a combination of other (quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, bean flour)
1 & 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. Real Salt
optional: 1/16th tsp. Stevia
Soymilk (unsweetened) or water to make the right consistency (batter thickens after sitting a couple of minutes)

Do Terra.... when your kids get sick and more

My sister in law introduced me to Do Terra essential oils and has helped me understand the amazing benefits of them....I love them. I have been using them for the past year for my family for so many different issues. Here are just some of the ways we have used them:)

CharLees ecxema and yeast- Maleluca
Kids- bed time, bath time and everything in general-Lavendar and Roman Cammomille
Sickly Kids and Prevention- On Gaurd, Lemon, Digestzen, Oregano, Thyme and more...:)
Respiratory- Breathe, Digestzen, Peppermint
Headaches- Peppermint and Pastense
Anxiety-Balance

I would like to try Clary Sage for my female times:) and frankincense is supposed to be great for neurological issues...there are so many I want to expand with but it unfortunately all costs mola and so bit by bit I will try. I know they are effective and have given me more tools to care for my little ones.
If you are interested in them I am a distributor and would be happy to help you get some. Call me #801-885-7221 or I would be happy to meet up. I will hold another educational party after the holidays...my plate is just a little full right now:)

What's the Weekly Menu? 11/7-11/13

Its that time again....shopping time.

Mon. Beans and Greens
Tues. Veggie soup
Wed. Quinoa Sundried Pumpkin Seed Pasta and Kale Salad
Thurs. Veggie Ginger Leek soup with Teff and Spelt Tortillas and Almond cheese shreds
Fri. I will be filming recipes with my Mom, so day off, hope there is leftovers:)
Sat. We are going to Park City Eat Out:)
Sunday. Greek Kale Salad with Butternut Sesame Squash, we love kale salad in the winter because its more hearty.

So here is my weekly Shopping List(I will spare the household items unless they are interesting:)

Costco:

1 bag Avos
1 pkg eng cucumbers
tub of Organic spinach
Organic Hummus snackers
1 Organic cereal
bag pistachios, black bean chips and freeze dried fruits for kids snacks
Organic frozen peas
Food Storage item of the month: 1-2 bags of Organic Quinoa

Good Earth:

Org Leeks
Org celery
Org carrots
Org unsweetned Silk for CharLee since he likes it once in a while rather than our Coconut and Almond choices, I also buy Raw Milk from Real Foods once in a while for my Hubby.
Spelt buns in case we do veggies burgers in Park City
10 pkg seas gift seaweed snacks and 8 organic raw cashew coconut bars for the Luvs snacks
Raspberry Granola
Org Pumkin seeds 1 lb
sunflower and alfalfa sprouts
Almond cheese shreds
Org Eggs
Org Sprouted Tofu
Org green apples
tub of raw Almond butter
Organic black beans and garbonzos

So every week I try to keep my budget for food at $200 and then $50 for household needs and Food Storage. I feel I have tried so hard over the years to make eating clean as affordable as possible and for our Family of Five this has been our budget, your might be a little different. I think when it comes to trying to be self sufficient and take care of your own health it does cost a little extra but I do think it does even out in the end because we rarely go to the Doctor:)GoodLuck and let me know if anything thing else would be more helpful.

What's for Dinner Tonight?

Well I have physical therapy tonight at 5pm ,so on these nights I have to prep my meal around 2:30pm. Remember to do the best you can at buying organic Smiths has a pretty good selection, Costco and Good Earth. The Organic clean 15 and dirty dozen list will help with proritizing and keep cost down. So I decided to make:

Quick Blender Veggie Soup and Avo Mac

Blender Soup
Combine in Vitamix or blender
1/2 inch slice of yellow onion
1 garlic clove
1 red bell pepper
handful of spinach and cabbage
1 carrot

2 stalks celery
2-3 Tbs real or celtic sea salt
1/4 C olive and 1/4 C flax,hemp borage oil
1 tsp cumin
dash of fresh rosemary (this is a warming spice to make you feel cozy in the winter)

After putting ingredients into blender fill the rest with good alkalizing water and blend until smooth. Optional:I also added some hemp seed, sprouted tofu and avocado for some good protein content and chopped kale and dehydrated veggies at the end to give it some bulk:) Blend well and then put into a pan and keep on lowest warm until you are ready to serve. This soup is fast and yummy only takes about 15min.


Avo Mac

at times I do add some fresh raw goat cheese if I have it.

Make noodles according to box, drain and drizzle oils, milks and seasonings. Enjoy!

Raw Moma's Blog

So my good friend Jaryn started the cutest cooking blog.As I think of going back into some nutritional counseling, I thought her idea was such a great way to help people even more. So here is my attempt...I will try to blog each week my shopping list and where I go to get the items, my menu plan and even some food storage ideas. I don't know if it will be helpful....I just hope this way I can give without taking more time away from my little ones. I will also try to give tips on snack and lunch ideas for your littles. Be patient as I am not perfect and will be slow at times but will attempt to help where I can. I know how hard it can be to mother with all we have on our plate and want to feed yourself and your family well at a resonable price. So here we go:) Thank you Jaryn for your inspiration and example of an amazing friend and mother.

Kids love this One! Chia Seed Pudding

Ashley’s Basic Chia Pudding
(yields 3-4 servings)

3/4 cup organic chia seeds
1 C Almond milk 1 C coconut milk
Tiny dash salt
vanilla (or cocoa or berry, you chooses) stevia drops to taste (3-4)
If you want it cocoa 1 Tbsp organic cocoa pwdr or carob

Simply mix the ingredients together, and let them rest for a few moments. Stir the mix well with a fork every five minutes or so. At first, it’ll seem far too liquidy, but over the course of thirty minutes the chia seeds will plump up, till the pudding resembles tapioca pudding
