Aromatic Black Bean Chili

Posted August 15, 2010 by Leslie Myers
You can double or quadruple this chili recipe (just make sure that you have a big enough pot!). It freezes beautifully so that you can have a ready-to-go meal in the freezer when you run out of time to prepare something. By design it is lean and lowfat!

Good Morning Raw Oatmeal

Posted August 15, 2010 by Leslie Myers
Oat Porridge is one of my breakfast staples. I get a lot out of the simple pleasures of life, and blending this with blueberries gives it a brilliant purple color which makes me laugh in the wee hours of the morning because purple is my favorite color (“look honey, purple food”!)

Peachy Oatmeal Shake

Posted July 10, 2010 by Leslie Myers
You've got to be kidding me, OATMEAL in a shake? YES! Oatmeal is highly nutritious, versatile and provides this shake with body. I had some frozen organic peaches in the freezer and some raw oats whcih I had soaked overnight to both soften and release the enzymes. I whipped this together. LOVED the outcome. You can use fresh peaches in season too, but I would recommend adding a few ice cubes. I used raw oatmeal, which is best soaked overnight, but you could use rolled oats for instant gratification. The cinnamon and the nutmeg adds extra depth. I always use a pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweetness of the fruit. To make it easier... You can use leftover cooked oatmeal.
