Blueberry Maple Oat and Flax Muffins

Hi everyone!


     Sunday turned out to be a bake day!  A friend of mine {same one who encouraged me to start this blog} and I tried out a recipe she found.  I do know she found this online but I do not know where.  I will not be able to give the person credit for the yummy muffins. 

     We did not want to use the all-purpose flour in this recipe so after some quick internet searching we found a replacement ratio of flour to oats.  We figured if the muffins did not bake correctly we could use another ratio and try it out again BUT the muffins turned out delicious!!  

Someone online used the ration of 1/3 cup oats for every ¼ cup flour 

{we used rolled oats}.

     We were not sure if the replacement would make the muffin dry or hard or if the oats needed to be ground or not … oh geesh … so we ground half of the oat replacement and kept the other half as whole rolled oats.  There was no other reasoning for this other than “let’s try it.”  The recipe called for ¾ cup all purpose flour so we used 1 cup oats {½ cup ground, ½ cup whole}.  We omitted the sugar and replaced it with a banana {this will end up being used to spread on the tops of the muffins before baking}, however; we did use some coconut palm sugar on 4 of the muffins for her son. 

{I hope you enjoy the muffins}


     Alright, let’s get started on this modified muffin recipe.  Let me know if you make changes, what changes you make and if you will make the muffins again!


Enjoy!

Roasted Cumin-Lime Carrots

Hi everyone!


    While I was at the farmers market I came across purple carrots.  I have not been a fan of cooked carrots ever since I can remember.  I figured I should give them a try because not too long before I went shopping I stumbled upon a carrot recipe I wanted to try out.  The purple carrots seem to taste sweet to me and now they are a food I am going to incorporate into my meals more often.  Have you guys ever tried the purple carrots?


{I hope you like my Roasted Cumin-Lime Carrots}


     Carrot Action: Antioxidant, anticancer, protect arteries, expectorant, antiseptic, diuretic, boost immunity, antibacterial, lower blood cholesterol levels & prevent constipation. 

     Carrot Uses: Vitamin A, B, C, iron, calcium, potassium, sodium, cleanse liver, cleanse digestive system, help prevent formation of kidney stones, relieve arthritis, relieve gout, enhance mental function, decrease risk of cataracts & decrease risk of macular degeneration.

     Buying & Storing Carrots: Choose carrots without the tops because the tops draw nutrients out of the carrot {may remove the tops immediately after purchase}.  Choose firm, well-shaped carrots with no cracks.  Store unwashed in a cold & moist place for up to two weeks.


Enjoy!

PowerBlock

Hi everyone!

     What do you use for weighted exercises?  I am recently no longer using my gym membership.  I was debating about purchasing some weights.  After a little research I realized I would be spending a lot of money for a handful of weights and a stand! Yikes!  I noticed that BodyRock uses a product called PowerBlock.  I figured it was a smart investment and I opted for these.  I did not want to pay for shipping so I researched some local retail stores inventories.  Luckily I found some close by!!

I ended up purchasing the U-33 Stage 1
