Delicious Paleo Fudge

Healthy Living is so much easier when we don't feel deprived. That's why I'm alway so exited when I find delicious recipes with reasonably healthy ingredient lists. 

Thank you Paleo Mom for this A-MAZING Fudge recipe with only 4 ingredients! 

I made a half batch tonight and after the kids snuck into the kitchen there was hardly anything left for me!

Next time I think I might add some essential oils (mint anyone?), different nuts, or using it as a base layer for a homemade granola bar. 

Enjoy!

Sweet Quinoa Breakfast

Sweet Quinoa Breakfast

1 c leftover quinoa

1-1/2 Tbsp oat or almond milk

1/4 tsp cinnamon

2 Tbsp raisins

1/2 tsp maple syrup

Mix, warm and enjoy! Serves 1.

Notes: In this recipe, I used quinoa leftover from dinner but you could cook the quinoa in the morning and make a full pot for the family for breakfast. The photo shows a half and half mix of traditional and inca red quinoa but any variety would work. The milk helps plump the dried berries but you could also use fresh fruit. And the cinnamon gives it a little extra warmth.

Quinoa tips: Rinse your quinoa before cooking to remove the phytic acid (which gives it that bitter taste). Add a 1 inch piece of kombu or other sea weed to the pot before boiling to add beneficial minerals. I promise you won't even taste it!

Product Ratings

Ever wonder what is in your favorite face cream, sunscreen, or shampoo? Well, have no fear... The Environmental Working Group is here!

At EWG you can always find great articles on just about anything related to environmental awareness and personal care. But the best part about the EWG website is their Skin Deep Database where each product and individual ingredient receives its own hazard rating regarding: overall hazard, allergies, immunotoxicity,  developmental and reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, bioaccumulation, skin/eye/lung irritation, cancer, biochemical or cellular changes, use restrictions, organ toxicity, ecotoxicology, contamination concerns, skin absorption, animal testing, other names, and so much more.
