Easy Breakfast Fruit Smoothie

Hi All,

I'm going to be posting some of my favorite Daniel Fast recipes. I'll try to post daily.  I made the smoothies this morning and the family loved it! I used Silk Vanilla Soy Milk. 

If you are in the Tulsa area I have found Reasor's to be an excellent store to find lots of organic and weird stuff that I've never purchased in the past. 

Easy Breakfast Fruit Smoothie

Breakfast smoothies are perfect for the Daniel Diet because of the protein in the soy milk. If you

are not accustomed to soy milk, fruit smoothies are great for your introduction. Although, the

soy milk of today is so near cow’s milk that it’s hard to tell the difference. I am a big fan of

Pacific Natural Soy Milk. The difference in the flavor is so minimal that I find it very usable,

and this is coming from a gal who used to milk her own cow!

1/2 cup soy milk

1 banana

1/2 cup frozen berries

Preparation:

1. Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Yield: 1 serving

Tip: You can also add silken tofu to boost the protein.

Whole Wheat Tortillas

Whole Wheat Tortillas

Ingredients:

2  cups whole wheat pastry flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbs olive oil

1/2 cup warm water

Preparation:

1.    Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

2.    Add olive oil and stir until well combined.

3.    Add warm water 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the

bowl.

4.    Knead dough on floured board for about 3 minutes (20 folds).

5.    Allow dough to rest for 15 minutes (this is called resting).

6.    Roll dough into sausage-shape and then cut into 12 equal parts (cut in half, then in half again, then each part into thirds) and shape into little balls. 

7.    With a rolling pin, roll each little ball into a tortilla (for best results, roll out from the center and outward)

8.    Heat a skillet over medium heat.  Fry the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side for soft tortillas or longer for crisp tortillas. 

9.    Keep tortillas warm by placing in a tortilla holder or wrap in a kitchen towel.

My kids loved these as chips. (which says a lot) I can't wait to fix a boat load and have them around for their lunches, etc! Way better for them than Doritos!

I have no reason for posting this other than I laughed when I saw it today.

Thrills and Spills

I have a love/hate relationship with fireworks now that I have 2 boys who want to get in on the action and light their own.  What is it about fire crackers? Why is it so fantastic to set something on fire and watch it fly into the air making loud noises? A few years ago my family and I were enjoying our ridiculously large bounty of the sparkly wonders. This time we had some big ones. The kind that you overpay to get, light and drop into the tube and then run away from really fast.  I distinctly remember telling my husband, "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if someone fell down while running away?" I'm sure you can guess who fell down running away on her next turn.
