Winter Spice Cocao Chia

This blend of delightful sweet-spice flavors with the chocolatey taste of cocao makes for a (somewhat) healthy and delicious hot treat for a cold day. And if you want totally healthy, use just stevia for the sweetener.

1 teabag of Chai or any sweet-spice tea

Three cups of almond milk or two cups water with one cup whole cow or goat milk

One heaping tbsp of cocao

1 tsp of vanilla

1 drop organic clove oil

1 drop organic cinnamon leaf oil

2 tbsp coconut sugar

2 tbsp honey

8 drops stevia

Dash of Himalayan salt

Bring to boil milk mixture and steep the tea. Add all of the other ingredients and mix thoroughly with a whisk. Pour into a mug and enjoy. Add a dab of whipped cream on top, sprinkled with a dash of cinnamon for garnish if desired.

Super-Tot Breakfast Cereal

This is a thick and creamy breakfast cereal full of healthy fats, grains, seeds and fruit that fills up your kiddos very quickly. You can change the consistency to your liking by adding more or less liquid, whether water or milk. Whole milk will give it a heavier and richer consistency than water.

May serve between 3 and 5 depending on portions.

Put the following into a powerful blender and blend until smooth:

1/2 cup of rolled oats cooked in 1 cup of milk or water
1/8 tsp Himalayan salt (full of minerals)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar (coconut sugar is low-glycemic and healthier than regular sugar)
1 tbsp chia seeds (wonderful for digestive system)
2 tbsp flax meal
1 small avocado, peeled and pitted (excellent healthy fat)--use only half the avocado for a lighter cereal
1/2 banana
1 tsp apple cider vinegar "with the mother" (excellent for overall health, digestive system and immune system)--you may eliminate this for a milder flavor
1/4 cup organic raisins (said to help with bowel movements)
Dash of cinnamon

For varying flavors, experiment with fruits, such as replacing the raisins and banana with berries or peaches or apples, etc.

Add water to cover the ingredients and blend. You may want to transfer to a sauce pan and heat up, but adding hot, cooked oats to the blender may warm it sufficiently for your little ones. Enjoy!

Rainbow Bacon Crustless Quiche

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, with the rack in the center.

Using a food processor, slice the following washed vegetables (really, whatever you have on hand, preferably of multiple colors) and place (mixed  together) in a large rectangular casserole dish, greased:

1/2 bunch kale
4 carrots, topped
1 large sweet onion
1/4 head red cabbage
1 small summer squash
1 small zucchini squash
2 large bell peppers, each a different color

In the meantime, fry in a pan a single package of bacon until crispy. Lay out on paper towel to cool.

In a medium bowl, whisk together one and a half dozen organic eggs. Add one and a half teaspoons of salt and a tablespoon of mixed organic herbs. Add one half cup grass-fed milk, goat milk, or unsweetened and unflavored almond milk.

Using a food processor on the grated side, grate a block of cheddar cheese to make approximately 1 to 2 cups of grated cheese. Set aside.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the casserole dish. Pour the bacon grease from the pan used to cook the bacon evenly into the casserole dish. Crumble the bacon and spread evenly on top. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly on top.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top, then cover with a cookie sheet or foil for another 20 minutes. The casserole is done when the egg has set. Enjoy for any meal of the day!
