Tuesday tricks

It's ballet day. And catch-our-breath-from-yesterday day. Today, we're having:
  • smoothies for breakfast
  • tuna with lacto-fermented vegetables, celery sticks, and pears for lunch
  • Bourbon Chicken (from the TF Menu Mailer) with brown rice and broccoli for supper

Breakfast Smoothie

measurements are approximate

  • one can coconut milk (rinse the can with 1/2 cup water and add that as well)
  • one cup coconut kefir + kefir grains
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup frozen sliced peaches, thawed slightly
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries, thawed slightly
  • pinch sea salt
  • stevia or raw honey to taste (I used 1/2 tsp. ground stevia leaves)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. astragalus powder
  • 1 tsp. slippery elm bark powder
  • 1 Tblsp. hempseed
  • 1 Tblsp. chia seeds

Blend thoroughly. This recipe provided enough for 3 large servings this morning and I put away enough for 3 small servings on another day. The kids' coughs have diminished a lot - we'll see how the day goes...I need to get out the cod liver oil, too.

I stayed up way too late last night looking for a good recipe for beef tongue. I'll be putting that into the crockpot tonight so it can cool tomorrow morning before I peel it. I think I've settled on this recipe. We've got a busy day, and I won't have much time for food prep. So, tomorrow we'll eat:

  • leftover oatmeal with blueberries & hempseed for breakfast
  • eggs for lunch (?)
  • beef tongue for supper

Got a kick out of the videos on www.offalgood.com last night. :) No penis wine for me, though. Thanks.
