• June 27, 2018 Garden Fresh Grape Tomato-Chia Tartare
  

  This super fresh, amazingly delicious Grape Tomato Tartare takes just a minute to toss together and is different every time depending on your available herbs.  The key ingredient is our super sweet grape tomatoes!  

  Slice Olkerii Farm tomatoes in half, 1/2 cup per person.

  Add to taste:  

  • Roasted almond slivers and 1 tsp of White Chia in a dry pan stove-top
  • Feta crumbles 
  • Finely sliced fresh peeled shallots (about 3 or 4)
  • fresh herbs, any of these work well; basil, chives, parsley, time, lemon grass, whatever suites your fancy
  • Add the roasted Chia and almonds to your favorite oil and vinegar mix for a lovely nutty flavor.  Salt and pepper to taste.

  Besides lunch I love this as a wonderful, fresh, light compliment to steak off the grill!  

   

• June 27, 2018 Block Buster Breakfast!
  

  My struggles to find a breakfast that holds me until lunch are over with this block buster, delicious, light faire.  You have all the 'super-powers' in this one!!!

  Plain organic yogurt 

  Stir in:

  • 1 tsp pre-soaked White Chia Seeds (I keep a supply of soaked White Chia Seeds in my refrigerator for quick easy access - to make; 2 tsp dry Chia seeds + 1/4 cup water, mix and refrigerate, spoon out as needed in your recipes and salad dressings)
  • 1 tsp Strawberry Jam (if you want a bit of sweet, it's delicious) 
  • 1/2 table spoon sliced raw almonds
  • 1 tsp diced pecans or other nuts you like

  Top with:

  • 1/4 cup Pomegranate Arils (a serious must in your refrigerator at all times!)
  • fresh sliced fruit and berries to taste. 

  YUMMY!!!  

• June 27, 2018 Chia Macadamia Date Bonbons
  

  I keep a supply of these in my fridge for a healthy afternoon pick-me-up with a cup of tea.  Chia's magic qualities of providing a fiber rich supply of energy and being filling gives me a much needed boost in the afternoon and keeps me from over eating at dinner time.  What a delicious way to stay healthy - and light!  

  Put all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until you reach the desired consistency.  Wet your fingers with cold water and form into 1" balls and refrigerate.  Keep in a sealed container and they will last for a couple of weeks refrigerated.  

  • 140 gr Raw macadamia nuts
  • 40 gr White Chia Seeds
  • 160 gr Pitted dates
  • 100 gr Desiccated coconut
  • 10 gr Coconut oil
  • 1 tsp Organic cocoa power 

  Thank you Cara Nora for this delicious recipe!
