Easter Cake

For Easter in honor of spring I wanted to make something with lemon. I found a recipe for a yellow cake which I tweaked with vanilla and made it into a 3 layer cake. It was delicious and sets a standard for future cakes that are not chocolate. This recipe is basically SCD except for the lemon filling which has arrowroot. I will try it next time with coconut flour as a thickener.

Quinoa Flake Museli

Here is the picture again. A gremlin took it away!

Here is a picture of what I have. The mixture of Quinoa Flakes Museli, chopped up apple underneath, lots of cinnamon, flax oil and a sprinkle of blueberries. The bread is one that I make every other week and I topped it with unsweetened almond butter. There is no sugar, no dairy and no gluten.

What to have for breakfast?

Here is another take on a breakfast choice. http://scdlifestyle.com/2011/03/what-to-eat-for-breakfast-on-scd/ I do like to change it up when I have time on the weekends. Eggs and sausage would be a choice with tomatoes, spinach and onions.

Good Monday morning. Everyone wants to know what to have for breakfast. Depending on your allergies or sensitivies, there are options out there. A good breakfast will help start your day with essential vitamins. There has to be some form of protein, like eggs but if you find eggs constipating maybe an alternative cereal like I make. Quinoa Museli I take a 3 cup container, add 1/2 cup of quinoa flakes, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds or ground chia, pepitas, and fill it up with ground flax seed. Mix well to combine. I usually chop up half an apple put in bottom of small bowl. I put about 1/2 cup of the museli on top, pour boiling water to moisten and a good big tsp. of cinnamon. Mix and add 2 tbsp. of flax oil. As you can see protein in the quinoa flakes and seeds. Lots of omega 3's from the ground flax and flax oil. Fibre from the apple, seeds and ground flax. The cinnamon maintains a healthy blood balance. This is a favorite with my home made bread that I will post tomorrow.
