Make Your Own Magic Shell

I finally did it! I made my own Magic Shell....finally after many many references Larissa made to me about making my own with coconut oil and cocoa.
Tommy and Christine gave me a lovely glass jar of organic virgin coconut oil and so I decided to take the plunge and try it.
Here is the recipe, so very simple.
Magic Shell
In small saucepan, combine
2 Tablsp. coconut oil
4 Tablsp.. unsweetened cocoa
1 Tablsp. honey
Heat gently until coconut oil has melted and all is combined and liquid-y.
Take off heat. Using a teaspoon, drizzle the dark liquid over your ice cream. It will harden almost immediately. I like
Very yummy..you can add chopped nuts..that is even better.

Make Your Own Easter Grass With Wheat

2 weeks or so before Easter, soak some wheat kernels (also called wheat berries) overnight.
In the morning, drain them in a sieve and then plop onto about 4 layers or so of wet paper towel that is nestled into a favorite bowl or container.
Keep a squirt bottle filled with water nearby and occasionally squirt with water. Depends on where you live as to how much. In the desert here, I squirted it twice a day. If using a basket, have some plastic wrap on the very bottom of the basket, then put the wet paper towel on top of that.
This was about 13 days later...
If you have a cute critter to stick in the grass, do so This was on top of a screw on lid of a cantiner I got at Dollar Tree...it was perfect!...and of course some small eggs:

I Had To Do It

After we finished our 2 cans of raisins, I ordered a box of 12 from the company. These SunView Organic Raisins. I got this box 2 days after I placed my order. 45 dollars includes shipping. No tax. 12 cans. Normally 4.99 at Whole Foods.

We like the Green Seedless the best.

Ginger Dreams

I used to dream of candy like this: Clear hard candy made from ginger. But this candy is a reality! Made by the Go Naturally company. Again at Whole Foods. I see it is available on amazon.com.

Move over jelly beans !

I have discovered these organic raisins at Whole Foods! They are big, plump, moist, flavorful. Who would even choose a jelly bean if these were available! This is pure delight..and no pesticides! Lots of vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, and fiber. Yum!

Water Rich Snacks!

Since I am chronically dehydrated, I have decided to have really healthy, water rich snacks. Here is today's snack: I had a half red pepper in the fridge and I am so proud of myself that I did not forget about it and let it turn slimy. I chunked it up and had it with some humus that I bought earlier in the week.
Lots of fiber and vitamins and I do love the taste. MMMmmm!
