Here is the easiest way to make a Blueberry Crisp. I make this when I don’t know what to make for breakfast but I want it done in under 10 minutes! I am mainly showing you this recipe because I was having a conversation with a patient who said, “You just can’t eat “fun” food at home without being an amazing cook!” I disagreed and told her about this Berry Crisp. 2 disclaimers- yes there is sugar in it, and yes it uses the microwave. If you have a nice mix of berries you do not need to add any sugar to the berries. I think you can get away with not having any sugar in the “topping” as well but I would say the majority of Crisp eaters would prefer just a little bit. As for “Chef Mic” you can bake it at 350F for 35 minutes if your prefer. It does taste a little nicer because the topping becomes nice and crispy but it is perfectly delicious when zapped. The best part about Crisp is that you can add spices, nuts, seeds, coconut, dried fruit, bird seed, anything you want! Enjoy! ~Think...
chocolate-raspberry chia pudding A friend sent a recipe this morning that inspired me to make this. I have modified the original recipe slightly to make it simpler and even more healthy! Chia seeds are excellent for making pudding as it provides a natural thickness and tapioca-like texture. Chia seeds have many health benefits which make them an excellent choice as an ingredient for healthy cooking. They are high in omega 3 fatty acids and contain ample amounts of fiber, calcium, protein and antioxidants. This sugar-free, flour-free dessert is so delicious you won’t notice it’s healthy! Indulge! Ingredients: 3/4 cup milk (cow, goat, almond, hemp, coconut, rice, or water works fine) 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder 3.5 tablespoons chia seeds 1/2 cup raspberries Instructions: Place the milk, vanilla, cocoa and chia seeds into a bowl. Whisk or blend it with a hand-held blender just until the cocoa blends into the mixture (don’t over blend it) Let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes as the pudding begins to thicken then transfer it to the fridge to chill for one hour. Remove from fridge, stir the raspberries into the pudding and add some on top as garnish. Enjoy! Number of servings: 1 (unless you really feel like sharing!) ~Think...
How to make kale chips You wouldn’t believe it, I hardly believed it myself! Kale chips are delicious! Making kale chips is pretty easy, you just have to keep a close watch on them in the oven.
