Make your own gluten free brekky cereal

April 3, 2012 · 90 Comments

Make your own gluten free brekky cereal

 

I think I have a crush on Julie Maree Wood. I buy her books, I make her recipes, I stalk her Facebook pages, I like her posts, I tell everyone about her. 

“Julie Maree Wood is a naturopath and nutritionist (a food nerd). She teaches and writes on the topic, runs a clinic in Sydney and is the nutritionist for the Sydney Kings’ basketball team. She is the author of Feeding Fussy Kids, 60-Second Secrets,  The Complete Food Makeover and The 4 week Energy Diet.”

Flicking through my copy of Feeding Fussy Kids, I came across Julie’s recipe for Three-Bubble Crunch. Hellooooo, breakfast just got a whole lot more interesting! I’m sorry Julie, but I had to tweak it – I am a cereal serial tweaker! So, this is my version of Julie’s recipe. I call mine…..

 

Puffy Coconut Cereal!

 Vital Stats: egg free, nut free, gluten free

Okay, so this is what you need:

1 1/3 cups puffed brown rice

1 1/3 cups puffed corn

1 1/3 cups puffed millet

1/2 cup shredded organic coconut

2 tablespoons virgin organic coconut oil

2 tablespoons organic apple juice concentrate

3 teaspoons of cinnamon

Abundant Earth make fantastic puffed cereals with nothing artificial added. Find them in the health food aisle of major supermarkets.

 

Okay, so this is how you do it:

Line a large baking tray or two with baking paper. Set oven to 150°C.

Mix everything together thoroughly in a large bowl.

Spread onto the trays, making sure you have it all in one layer.

Bake for about 10 minutes, depending on your oven. It should be nice and golden brown and crunchy. It will get even crunchier as it cools. Be careful not to burn it though!

Cool it right down and then store it in an airtight container. Serve it with some organic milk for brekky or just as a snack on its own! You could also top it with a dried fruit, nut and seed mix.

Five Favourite Things – March

March 28, 2012 · 9 Comments

I am going a little “Sound of Music meets Oprah” today and sharing with you some of my favourite things. These are some things I have been in love with lately.

 My essential oil diffuser and Young Living oils – these are food grade therapeutic oils and are very effective.  I use it every night with lavender to help me get off to sleep. Addicted.

Peace, man! I have been wearing this gorgeous bracelet I got for my 40th birthday last year all the time….. I just love it. It’s very ME!

Baby capsicum… baby vegetables are just way cuter than normal vegetables! I just fling some oil on to them and roast at high temp until all golden and caramelized and gooey….. drool!

The fabulous Miss Phryne Fisher. I have finally finished all the Phryne novels ! I am also enjoying Phryne on the ABC (Australia) as well. Such a great character, set in Australia, written by an Australian author. I love how books transport you to another time and place. Notice the library sticker? I get most of my novels from the library. It saves trees!

My favourite breakfast on my new(ish) deck:

Organic poached eggs with organic avocado on homemade organic spelt toast topped with pink Himalayan sea salt and pepper….. and a cup of organic chamomile tea in my special peacock fine bone china mug…… trees, birds, fresh air….. bliss! It’s the simple things in life that can bring the most pleasure.

Now, that I have told you my favourite things, I want you to tell me yours. What are your favourite things at the moment? Tell me your top 5.
