DIY Muesli Recipe



When the weather is hot, I like to eat Muesli instead of cooked oatmeal.   Homemade Muesli is very  simple to make.   You really don't need a recipe. You can use pretty much whatever dry fruit and nuts you like or have on hand to raw oatmeal.  Dried dates and chopped pecans are a delicious combo.   Add Chia, flax and hemp seeds for a nutritional boost.  Make a big batch and store it in a jar.  I just make a single serving so that I can change it up everyday if I want.   What going in your muesli? Let me know.  

Ingredients:

1 Cup Whole Rolled Oatmeal 
1/4 Cup Raw Almonds
1/4 Cup Apricots
1/4 Cup Prunes
1/4 Cup Raw Pumpkin seeds ( pepitas)

I added almond milk, honey raspberries to taste.

Best Vitamin Supplements


Just got these vitamins from Amazon yesterday.  YAY!  I'm looking forward to trying the Raw One Multi for Women.  I'm taking a break from New Chaper Womens Multi, which I do like.   I also have never tried this brand of fish oil but I wanted to try something new.  The last thing I got was Vitamin D3 gummies.  I have to  hide them from myself because they are so yummy and I can only eat one if I also take a multi.  I'm curious to know what vitamins and other natural supplements you like and why?

Valentine's Day Almond Fudge Recipe.

Happy Valentine's Day!  Or Happy Love Day whatever you prefer.  Today I'm going to show the special people and the not so special people in my life I care about them.  I know we are only sold the image of Valentine's Day for romantic relationships, but I want to broaden that  image.   It can really suck and be a painful day for the people who don't have that sort of relationship.  Some  folks like to use today as a day to show off how many roses they received etc..  I don't like that and I think it's lame.  I think today should be spent doing random acts of kindness.



So on that note make a special treat for your  kids, co-workers, neighbor, boss, friends or enemy.
This chocolate treat is amazing. Please note fudge must be chilled at least 2 hours before devouring. 

You will need:
5 oz Bittersweet or Semisweet Chocolate, finely chopped.
3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 (14oz) Can Sweetened Fat-Free or Regular Condense Milk. 
1/2 Tsp Vanilla
Hand full Chopped Roasted Almonds.
Pinch Coarse Sea Salt.
1/2 Tsp Flaked Salt 

Directions:

Line 8 inch square baking pan with plastic wrap, leaving 2 inch overhang. Smooth out any wrinkles.
Combine chocolate, cocoa powder, condensed milk, almonds, vanilla, and coarse sea salt in a large heavy saucepan.  Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat unit chocolate melts and mixture is smooth.   Transfer fudge to prepared baking pan; spread evenly.   Let cool.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight. Uncover fudge; remove from pan by lifting overhanging plastic wrap.  Invert on cutting board remove wrap.  Cut into 8 strips; then cut each strip into 8 pieces.  If making ahead, cover and chill up to 2 weeks. To serve, return fudge to room temperature. Sprinkle with flake sea salt. 
Happy Love Day!
