Culinary Adventures with Camilla

Liz of  Books N' Cooks   is hosting an event that was going to be "back-to-school," but since so many kids aren't going back to school, as we continue to battle the coronavirus pandemic, she settled on lunch inspiration. This is something that I make at least twice a week as a healthy, easy, and portable snack. Warrior pudding is easy to make. The proportion is 1/4 cup chia to every 1 cup of liquid; you can get creative from there. Why is it called 'warrior pudding'? Because, as my bag of organic whole chia seeds - tagline "Aztec Superfood" - explains: "The chia seed was eaten by Aztec for strength and was a main staple food along with corn and beans." Ingredients serves 3 Chia Pudding 1/2 cup chia seeds 2 cups milk (I used an organic oat milk) 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 Tablespoon maple syrup Also needed: lidded mason jar that holds at least 2 cups, 3 lidded mason jars for transport For Serving cocon...

I love the Fantastical Food Fight coordinated by Sarah of  Fantastical Sharing of Recipes . For more information about the event, click  here . I haven't been very good at participating recently, but this year, I'm aiming to be better. To kick off 2018, we were given the challenge of making a recipe with oatmeal. So. Many. Possibilities. You can make savory oat bowls ; you can bake it into bread . I use it to make homemade granola and granola bars . And I've even made oat-chata . An InLinkz Link-up Overnight Oats But do you know what I see everywhere, but have never attempted myself? Overnight oats! I decided that this was the perfect event to do that. Still, Jake and I are off of added sugars this month, so I needed to go savory. Ingredients  serves 2 Basic Overnight Oats 1 C old-fashioned rolled oats  1-1/4 C milk  1/2 C plain Greek yogurt  1 T chia seeds  1 T flaxseed meal  freshly groun...

I wanted to use up the last of my olallies in a breakfast smoothie this morning. Set this in a container the night before and it's ready first thing in the morning 3/4 C chia seeds 4 C milk 4 T honey 3/4 C olallieberries (feel free to substitute for whatever berries you have on-hand) + some for garnishing Place the milk and honey in a large mixing bowl and whisk until the honey is dissolved - as much as possible. Stir in the chia seeds. Stir for at least a minute or two so that the seeds don't clump together too much. Stir in the berries; crush some against the side of the bowl to release their juice. Transfer to a container that you can seal. Refrigerate overnight. In the morning, stir the smoothie. Add more honey if you need it a little bit sweeter. Garnish with more berrries. Serve cold.
