Herbal Chicken Bone Broth

Chicken bone broth is a miracle cure when it comes to being sick. We have always found the duration of the illness to be shortened when this cure-all is taken.

The Recipe

3 Quarts Chicken Bone Broth
2 Bay Leaves
1 1/2 tsp. dried Rosemary
1 tsp. dried Sage
2 tsp. dried Thyme
1/2 tsp. powdered Paprika
A couple of good shakes of Red Pepper Flakes
1/8 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
3 Cloves Garlic minced, crushed or shredded
A sprig or two of Parsley or dried equivalent


Bring all ingredients except for last three to a boil, turn down to simmer and cover. Let simmer for 10-20 mins. Turn off the heat and add the last three ingredients. Let rest till a comfortable temperture to consume.

Peach Dynamite Breakfast

So I really believe that God designed this breakfast for us right after we finished our detox that we would be able to flush out the toxic matter that had been escorted to our bowels. My youngest had seven substantial bowel movements a day while eating this breakfast. She has now gone back to her normal three ;-)


The Recipe

1 Large Stock pot 3/4 filled with chopped peaches
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup flax seeds
2 Large handfuls of raisins
3 cups shredded coconut
Chopped walnuts

Mix all together and enjoy.

On some mornings we also poured coconut milk, or our almond/coconut milk over the top of this.

One morning our peaches were on the slightly bitter side so we drizzled cinnamon honey over the top of this and it was delicious.

Best of Both Blenders Milk

So in the past we have made coconut milks, and we have made nut milks. And one day I was inspired by God just to do the two together and see how we liked it. So here is the best of both Blenders.

The night before:

Fill a Quart Jar 1/3 of the way with shredded coconut and cover with filtered water. If you want to use dates as a sweetener, toss 3-6 dates depending on how much sweetness you want,  in the jar to soak with the coconut.


In a separate quart jar put in 1/2 cup raw almonds and 2 tbs. of sesame seeds. Fill jar halfway with water and let soak over night.

In the Morning:

Dump the quart jar with water and coconut shreds into the blender. Strain out almonds and sesame seeds and give them a good rinse before adding them to blender. Add vanilla and cinnamon to taste (the vanilla is recommended and the cinnamon is optional.) Another optional ingredient to add  is a tablespoon or two of coconut oil. If you didn't use dates as a sweetener, add your sweetener preference now. Blend this mix. Then fill the blender the rest of the way with water.  Give it another whirl. Strain if desired. Enjoy!

Coconut Creaminess Breakfast

Over night soak:

1/4-1/2 cup of raisins in a quart jar filled half way with water
Take a second quart jar and fill it 1/2-3/4 full with coconut shreds top off with water

In the morning dump the quart jar filled with hydrated coconut shreds into your blender along with the soak water from the raisins. Give the blender a whirl. We call this coconut creaminess.

Assemble the breakfast:
In a bowl place sprouted buckwheat, sprouted oats, sprouted whatever, or crunchy buckwheat (which is buckwheat that has been soaked and dehydrated) top with soaked raisins  and cover with the coconut creaminess. You can also add shredded carrots, chopped apple, crispy nuts, chia seeds, ground flax,  whichever pleases your mouth.

We also add coconut creaminess to soaked oatmeal, in the morning after letting rolled oats soak 12-24 hours in a raw apple cider vinegar water solution we mix in the creaminess, chia seeds ground flax, carrot shreds, soaked raisins....you get the point and enjoy a delicious breakfast.

We still do a sprouted flour pancake on occasion and have found that it works great as the liquid and sweetener substitute.  

Coconut Milk

Depending on your diet requirements or the time you have:

Fill a quart jar halfway full of coconut shreds.

Cover with boiling water to the top of the jar and let soak for 30 mins.

or

Cover with cold water to the top of the jar and let sit for 2 hours

or

Cover with cold water to the top of the jar and let sit overnight.

30 mins later, or 2hours later, or in the morning dump the soaked coconut mix with water into the blender fill the blender the rest of the way with water. If I have raisin soak water at this time I will add it also. Add vanilla and cinnamon to taste and give that blender a whirl. If you prefer your coconut milk to be sweeter you can add honey, maple syrup, soaked dates, soaked date or raisin water  before blending. 

Depending on how thick you like your milk and what you are using it for you can thin with more water at this point or strain and enjoy.

We add coconut milk to our pancake mixture, pour it over our sprouted breakfasts, use it to make ice cream, or just drink it.
