Spelt Cinnamon Apple Pancakes


My babies love pancakes. It's like dessert for breakfast. So I switch the recipe up pretty often. Today I decided to make cinnamon apple pancakes. These also have a hint of spices added and of course the sea moss. 

What you will need is:
2 cups organic spelt flour
1 1/2 cup of vanilla almond milk
2 teaspoons organic vanilla extract
1 teaspoon sea moss powder
1 teaspoon organic ground cinnamon
1 organic granny smith apple diced
1 teaspoon organic grade b maple syrup
1 teaspoon organic extra virgin olive oil (evoo)
Dash of ground nutmeg
Dash of ground cloves
Dash of all-spice

Putting it together:
Whisk together spelt flour, sea moss powder, and spices in a bowl. Add extract, apple, evoo and syrup. Stir in milk. Pour into heated pan and cook evenly on both sides. I added an extra dash of cinnamon on top of the pancakes when they were cooking. I also used organic coconut oil to fry the pancakes in.

This is one of my family's favorite dishes. I've almost mastered it so I have to let you all in on how to make this recipe, because it is honestly delicious. Any recommendations or spin-offs, please feel free to comment. It's simple, organic, vegan and homemade. 

What you will need is a box of kamut spiral noodles, vegan butter (with olive oil), a can of unsweetened coconut milk, himalayan pink sea salt, cayenne pepper and a bag of sweet peas. Boil the noodles first, strain then put in bowl. Mix 2 tablespoons of butter, the can of coconut milk and spice to taste. Lastly, add the cooked peas and enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE COCOA BUTTER FOR YOUR BODY

COCOA BUTTER FOR YOUR BODY, 
BE NATURAL & SMELL DELICIOUS!


What I used was 1 pound of organic raw cocoa butter, organic extra virgin olive oil (evoo), organic rose hip oil, and organic coconut oil. First off, I could not resist the overwhelming fragrance of chocolate coming from the cocoa butter that the temptation of not tasting it was out of question (I'm not the only one is the household who did this) and my reaction was that the smell is far more sweeter than the taste. The flavor is bland which is one great thing about organic raw cocoa butter. You can use it as a base to make chocolate candy bars. This is my first time experimenting with it though so I decided to just make the body butter first. The whole process takes about 12 hours depending on when you start it. I started it at night and since you have to use the freezer to harden up the cocoa butter I just left it in there over night. By the morning I had a soft cocoa butter ready to use. 

Start off with the raw cocoa butter chunks in a saucepan over low heat. Gently stirring.

This is what the cocoa butter chunks will look like while melting. Stir often until chunks are completely melted. 

Add in 1 cup organic coconut oil, 1/2 cup organic evoo, & 1 tablespoon or more of your favorite essential oil. In this butter I used organic rose hip.

Once all the oils are combined with the cocoa butter put in freezer safe container and freeze overnight. The next morning you will have a solid cocoa butter.

Blueberry Kiwi Fruit Roll-Up


A healthier choice for a snack, easy to make & the kids will love them!! All you need is a dehydrator in order to make these happen. Combine 1 container of blueberries & 1 kiwi (both organic) in a food processor & puree until well-blended. Pour into dehydrator set on 111 degrees to keep enzymes alive & food raw. Cook from 4-8 hours. I let the dehydrator run overnight, so that they were ready to take to daycare in the morning.
