Happy New Year Friends! Hope your little break was full of all the goodness life has to offer...food, family, friends, rest, fun...and wishing you much joy in 2013!
I am so excited to usher in this new year, and all the changes that it has in store for us.
We've jumped back on the bandwagon, and are starting a 21 day anti-inflammatory cleanse today. This should be an interesting challenge for us as it is the first one we have done as a family. I'll keep you posted on how it's going, and share some of the new recipes we've tried--some of this I expect to be very easy, some of this I expect to be a bit more trying (...like 21 days with no cheese...I think I can, I think I can...). In the end, we expect we'll all feel so much better, have more energy and perhaps a clearer mindset to move on through the year.
I also will spend the first part of January working on a NEW WEBSITE! I am really excited and hope to have things rolled out to you soon! (...and if there is something NEW you'd like to see on said site, please let me know! I do this for you, and I'd love to include some changes that you'd like to see!) I eagerly await the day I can post the new site for you!!
My love affair with Chia Seeds continues...this is a new breakfast recipe I am eager to try this week. I've adapted it from
http://veganyackattack.com, and borrowed their beautiful photo as well!
Berry Chia Pudding
2 cups frozen berries-thawed (any combo will do)
1/4 cup water
3-4 tbsp honey, maple syrup or a handful of dates
1/3 cup chia seeds
Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process on high until well blended. Cover and let sit a couple of hours or overnight. Stir well.
Top with toasted pecans or almonds or use as a spread or oatmeal topper. This would also make a wonderful dessert.
Enjoy!
