Chicken soup and biscuits

This was an easy dinner to whip up. Thanks to the fact I had cooked up about 6 chicken breasts a couple of days before this meal.

Chicken soup:

½-¾c. Chicken broth

2-3 c. water

1 pkg. low-sodium chicken boullion

approx. 1 c. cut up cooked chicken

2 stalks of celery, cut up

2 carrots, cut up

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

¾-1c. instant brown rice

Salt and pepper, to taste ( I don't put salt in mine)

Put everything except rice into a lge. pot. Let simmer for approx. 20 mins. Add rice, and let simmer for 10 mins, or until preferred tenderness of rice.

Rice MIlk does a body good

I thought I would try another recipe. This time for rice milk.
I used twice the amount of rice as to what the recipe called for. Next time I will use the amount the recipe calls for. I added the vanilla and 2 tsp. of blue agave syrup.

Now I don't drink this as is, I add it to my morning smoothie!

Breakfast for Dinner

One of my kids favourites is pancakes and especially pancakes for dinner.

I usually make extras for popping in the toaster or microwave for breakfast and snacks, if they last that long!

Last night pancakes were organic pancake mix, ground flax, eggs, melted Becel (olive oil spread), oat milk, mashed banana and oh so yummy dark choc. chips!

Make your own oat milk
Fill a large jug with one-third oats and two-thirds water. Mix, and leave overnight. The next morning, sieve the mixture and you will be left with a milky liquid that can be drunk as it is or used in place of cow's milk in some recipes."

There are other recipes for oat milk

MMMMMM! Cookies!

After a wonderful rest Friday night and no Saturday morning karate for the kids, I got my butt outta bed!

Saturday afternoon and a lil baking was in order.

So I thought some chocolate chip cookies would do the fix.

MMMM! White chocolate chip with cherry flavoured craisins!

Well here it is:

1c. butter or margarine (at room temp.)

¾c. sugar

¾c. packed brown sugar

2 eggs

½c. rolled oats

¼c. ground flax seed

1 tsp. baking soda

½tsp. salt

1c. cherry flavoured craisins or orginal

2c. white choc, chips (or dark choc.)

Heat oven to 375°F. Stir flours, oats, flax seed in with baking soda & salt; set aside. In lge. mixer bowl cream butter with sugar, brown sugar, eggs & vanilla. Gradually blend dry mixture into creamed mixture. Stir in craisins and choc. chips. Drop by Tbsp. onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9-11 mins or until golden brown. Yield: 48 cookies.
