Quinoa and Millet - Together! Yum!

Who would have thought that Quinoa and Millet would taste good together, but they do! Yum! Both of these grains are on the slightly alkaline side. I also added raw sunflower seeds, which are on the slightly acid side. 

Here is my recipe:

In an electric pressure cooker, place the following:

1 cup Quinoa
1 cup Millet
1 cup Raw Sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon salt
*(the oil and salt are optional.  I like using a little oil in my pressure cooker, it helps the food come out easier and keeps the container easy to clean)
Add: 5 cups water
Cook: 7 minutes, sit until seal naturally releases
(if you don't have a pressure cooker, so sad, you could cook the grains separately and then mix them together)

When done, stir and refrigerate. 
As you are ready to eat this, you can add salty or sweet seasonings. Today I added the following to my one serving:

1 teaspoon Extra Virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Chipotle seasoning, or less. It is hot!
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Bragg Liquid Aminos
1 teaspoon Nutritional yeast

Non Dairy Pudding

I love the smell of strawberries gently simmering on the stove. Today I made some non dairy chocolate strawberry pudding, and it turned out to be delicious! Normally I use carob because it has an alkaline balance, but on occasion cocoa can be used. The way I make this recipe includes many alkaline base foods so the cocoa isn't such a bad addition. Carob has a sweeter flavor and is rich in calcium, so I use it more often than the cocoa.




The following is a basic recipe for making the pudding:

1 package Extra Firm Mori-Nu Tofu, Extra Firm in fresh sealed container
(available at most health food stores)

1/2 cup Original flavor unsweetened Almond Milk

1/2 cup water, in which I have dissolved 1 packet Knox Gelatine
(if you are vegan, you can use 3 teaspoons psyllium seed husk. I use this when I am in a
hurry or when I feel the need for extra fiber in my diet. When I use the psyllium seed, I omit the gelatin)

1/4 to 1/2 cup Sugar Stevia blend, or your favorite sweetener. Sweeten to taste.

1/4 cup carob or 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

A pinch of salt

A dash of vanilla

Blend until creamy. Let sit to thicken.

You can add to this recipe:

1 cup berries of your choice
