Worship

Take a moment to listen to this song. I love it . It is a beautiful Fernando Ortega worship piece.

We are yours, Lord. Open our eyes to see the myriad gifts in every single moment of these: our very full lives. You are so good.

Come, Lord Jesus.

Pumpkin Muffins

Pumpkin Muffins

1 1/2 cups almond meal
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cloves
2 Tbs. grapeseed oil
1/2 cup honey or 1 cup date sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup pumpkin


Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately. Combine both mixtures. Scoop batter into greased muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 mins. I like the muffins a bit more gooey and moist, so if you don't prefer that you may want to cook them a little longer. Makes approx. 8 muffins.

 Eat warm with lots of butter!

Porridge Recipe

Porridge









This is a recipe for yummy porridge. It is best to soak it overnight, because oats become more digestible having been soaked.

2 cups oats
1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
juice of one lemon
4 cups water
1 tsp. sea salt

Combine oats, coconut, lemon and water in a medium pot. Stir to combine. Let ingredients soak overnight. In the morning, add salt and cook on medium high heat stirring regularly (unless you want smoked porridge!).

Serve with crushed nuts, dried or fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, honey, and whatever appeals to you. Very filling and nutritious. Around here, six hungry children eat it every Tuesday morning!

Enjoy!

This recipe is inspired by the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon
