Chia Pudding Parfait

Today, for breakfast, we had a coconut almond milk chia pudding stone fruit parfait.  We mixed  it the night before.  It was inspired by this recipe:

Here's our, less glamorous, pic:



It was quite delicious, and we should totally make this again.

Casual Weeknight Salmon

-8 oz of salmon in the middle
-TJ's roasted red peppers on the bottom
-Bacon on top

Arrange the above in a bread pan, add salt & pepper and a bit of lemon juice. Roast at 400 degrees for ~20 minutes. Bacon was a bit undercooked at this point so we took the salmon and peppers out and continued cooking the bacon for ~5 minutes longer.

Serve alongside buttered ears of corn (or some other vegetable).

Remade on:
Sep 30, 2015 - with frozen mango chunks, apple slices, and roasted peppers (started on stovetop in cast iron pan, finished in oven)

Tumeric Almond Latte


This was loosely based on this recipe: http://kaleandchocolate.com/recipe/creamy-turmeric-latte/, and this interpretation: https://instagram.com/p/3aUsnjCMEh/

I just used dry spices - turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, cayenne.  And melted butter instead of ghee.
