Caramel apple oatmeal. So good!

This is seriously so good!

I cooked 1/4 cup rolled oats with water, 2 dried apricots (chopped finely), salt and half n half (to your liking of creaminess).

I put chopped salted roasted peanuts (2-3tbs) and chopped 3/4 of medium apple in a bowl.

Then tossed the cooked oatmeal into the peanuts and apple.

Not cooking the apple nor peanuts in with the oatmeal makes the dish wonderfully crunchy and really reminiscent of caramel apples on the stick.

Yum yum yum

Ginger lime watermelon sorbet with whipped coconut cream

One of my favorite uses of watermelon (besides devouring it by the spoonful!) is to freeze it for smoothies. Here I've blended frozen watermelon with fresh squeezed lime juice and ginger juice. If you want it sweeter you could add some honey. Or you could turn this into a watermelon margarita! Just add tequila, maybe a little basil or mint too!

To make the ginger juice: slice a bunch of fresh ginger and blend with water, and strain the pulp. Proportions depends on how spicy ya like it. I like it spicy! This is not a drinking juice, but something ya add to other things or take just a shot of for a quick pick me up.

For the coconut cream i like to use Trader Joe's coconut cream. It's really thick. There is usually  about 3 tbsp of liquid at the bottom of the can which i separate out from the thick cream. I whip the cream up with a blender so it's fluffy. I usually keep this in an old yogurt tub. It's a nice deep container just wide enough for blender blades (easy for re-whipping), put the top on and keep in the fridge. Try to resist putting coconut cream on everything!

Does this look appetizing to you?

Cause it does to me! ;)
I put hemp protein powder in my morning muesli and it turned a lovely green color. Green is BTW my favorite color :)
This mornings muesli is made with:
Quinoa
Chia
Flax meal
Oats
Soaked almonds
Raisins
Dark chocolate
Hemp protein
Peanut milk
Salt
I usually eat a muesli every morning. Probably my favorite breakfast! My muesli varies from day to day. Sometimes i add greek yogurt, cinnamon, fresh fruit.... sometimes the grains are different, etc. Sometimes it has everything but the kitchen sink in it, and sometimes only 3-4 ingredients.
I loooove chocolate in my muesli, but can't do without nuts, and a little bit of fruit to sweeten it up is nice. I usually soak my oats overnight (or other grains that can be eaten raw like buckwheat). Sometimes i cook a batch of quinoa (i don't like the taste of sprouted quinoa) or a batch of long grain wild rice, let it cool and add extra water and chia and flax to it, let it chill overnight so the chia can soak and expand and make a nice gelatinous consistency. I usually keep a small tub of this concoction in my fridge, then every morning i take a little out and add some yogurt and nut milk to it to get the consistency i love! Then of course add toppings. Yum yum yum!
