Quinoa Pasta

Quinoa Pasta! Healthier and Gluten-Free

I promise you, you will fall in love !!!

The quinoa noodles are to die for.. and are so strange

in a good way :)

The noodles are thicker but when you swallow them they don't make you feel bloated and gross but light like you could run a marathon!!!!

How to make the noodles:

*Bring 4 quartz of water to a boil*

*Add 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil*

*Bring to a boil*

*Let your noodles cook for 6-9 minutes*

The water will be yellow but that is normal it's releasing all of the starch.

Cold Pasta:

Drain and splash cold water on the noodles

Warm Pasta:

Drain and serve with your favorite sauce 

(Walden Farm's Marinara is good and has no calories, no fat, no sugar and no fat *does have salt*)

OR 

Earth Balance Butter and GoVeggie Lactose free "Parmesan cheese"

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DELISH THIS PASTA IS!!!!!

I am craving it right now...

OH MY GOSH!!!

*You can find all of these ingredients at your local supermarket or co-op food store*

ENJOY :)

Strawberry Banana Ice Cream / Yogurt

Strawberry Banana 

Ice Cream / Yogurt 

Depending on what mood you are in 

you can keep the fruit really cold for an ice cream consistency or let it sit for a while for a yogurt consistency!

What you need:

*3 Bananas*

*Handful of Strawberries*

(Add more strawberries if you want a stronger strawberry flavor)

*A little bit of water*

*Coconut and strawberries for the topping*

(Or whatever you like best (: !)

*****Cut the Strawberries and Bananas small before you freeze them... mine were way to big and wouldn't blend...

SO I added some regular strawberries and bananas and water to help the frozen ones blend.*****

Once your Ice Cream or Yogurt is blended pour it into a dish, add on toppings, and dig in!!

This recipe will make quite a bit of Ice Cream so I made some for the kids !!

EAT UP!

BanaCayman Ice Cream

BanaCayman Ice Cream

I LOVE Ice Cream and since I choose not to have dairy I decided to make my own ;)

Not just any kind though, BANANA !!!

The banana's I found at Foster's, a supermarket in the Cayman Islands, were perfect and super ripe!

What better way to make use of a perfect banana than with ice cream!?

What you will need:

*Vitamix Blender*

*3 Ripe Bananas*

*A little bit of water*

How to prepare:

Cut up the 3 bananas and put them in a bowl and place them in the freezer overnight.

In the morning take them out of the freezer and let them thaw out for 10-15 minutes.

Then put the bananas in the blender. The banana's will be harder to blend since they are frozen and by adding a little bit of water the blades with spin easier and 

the ice cream will get done faster.

Once your banana's are at an ice cream consistency,

spoon the deliciousness into a bowl!

To add texture to your ice cream,

add banana slices or any other kind of fruit/topping you like!

EVEN MY GIRLS LOVED THE ICE CREAM...

if they liked it I KNOW you will :)

WAAALAA

you gotcher self some healthy Ice Cream!
