Teatime Today: out for ice cream at Sustain

2 spoons to dig in together

how to order acai/pitaya bowl

totally loved

Little Brother's first time out for "ice cream". We went to Sustain. What a beautiful bowl of goodness to share! And an awesome way to spend an hour together hugging, giggling.  This is joy. Perhaps a monthly date? Bowls made in designated space and very low risk of cross-contamination with peanut butter.  There is no dairy, gluten or egg (well, maybe gluten in one granola).  Please note that the nice cream is made with almonds.

order form: banana allergy for me

 

Blueberry Orange Dinosaur Gummies: Flashback to a few years ago

a fun treat to take out for a Sunday morning hike

 * a post I had drafted and never published

 "Yay, Hooray" for gummies!  Don't you want to make fun gummies? They are quick, easy, fun to eat and made with quality ingredients. I'm going to leave it at that and post this recipe without much of an introduction or explanation. Just say: "yay, hooray" like Baby Brother does when he is excited.  

What you need:
100 grams frozen wild blueberries
150 grams fresh squeezed orange juice
20 grams of honey
2-3 tablespoons (60 grams) of gelatin

What to do:

Add Berries and orange juice into TM bowl and cook for 3 mins, 80 degrees, speed 1 with MC off.

Let cool to 60 degrees

Add honey and stir for 10 sec on speed 2.

With blades rotating on speed 3, slowly add the gelatin through the hole in the lid until all mixed in.

Pour into mold and let set in fridge until solid

Yay, horray!  Gummy time!
