I’m sure I’m not reinventing the wheel on this oatmeal – but here’s how we’re eating our oatmeal lately. It is sweet from the milk, raisins, and a bit of stevia. Depending on how sweet you like your oatmeal, you may want to add raw honey, too. Soaking the oats the night before in an acid medium ensures maximum benefits and assimilation of nutrients. It is not hard to do, just needs to be done ahead of time. It is a good job for kids to do before bed! Beyond nutritional benefits, you’ll find that the soaking decreases the cooking time necessary in the morning ~ thick rolled oats take just 5 minutes to cook!
When I make red palm oil popcorn, I use my 1/2 cup measurer to scoop the red palm oil into the popcorn pot. Then I tip the measuring cup upside down in the little cast iron skillet we use to fry eggs. That way, we are able to use every last drop. But I’m kind of weird about how I cook them.
Received the Rome Cast-Iron Waffle Irons today. The UPS man always gives the kids candy, but today they were just as excited about what was in mom’s box… they knew we would be having waffles for dinner!
The irons come coated with paraffin wax to prevent rust. This must be removed. My method of choice was [...]
This is what I serve to my egg-allergic children and they love it. It is remarkably like scrambled eggs and very delicious. I often don’t have red pepper, so I leave that out. Several members of the family can’t have garlic, so I leave that out, too.

As I heard yesterday from a commenter, breakfast can be a tricky meal. How does one get enough protein when eating gluten-free and egg-free and also when trying to avoid the monetary expense of purchasing sausage and/or turkey bacon each day? I will share our breakfast choices, in the hope that it will be a [...]
A friend gave me a similar recipe last summer. Kids love this applesauce — what I love is that it is easy, raw and nutritious! You will need a Vita-Mix or other such heavy duty blender.
(choose organic ingredients)
about 4 apples, sweet variety such as Fuji
handful of raw almonds
handful of raisins
