moving it

Time to move. What a slap in the face to see how much trash and things I’ve accumulated over the past year. The unnecessary crap, jars, trinkets, clothes, wow where did it all come from and how did I manage to fit it into this house??!! Scruffy and I packed boxes, cleaned and cooked of course. The kitchen was the last to be packed up because we were determined to use the last of what remained in our sad refrigerator and pantry into some unexpected delightful treat. Music cranking, I start dancing in our empty living room. I find myself famished and inspired to cook. The multi-tasker and procrastinator that I am, I got busy in the kitch with the jars of nuts and seeds that remained on our shelves.  What to make? ummm….We had heaps of almonds…My Mom had just sent me a link to www.elanaspantry.com with some delicious bread made from almond flour. I found a bag of wild blueberries in the freezer, half jar of sunflower seeds and some sad lemons that were screaming to be used. Done:

Wild-Blueberry Lemon Almond Breakfast Bread:

recipe above: changes made:

I used almond meal instead of blanched almond flour. Also, I added 1  1/2 cups of wild frozen blueberries, zest from 1 lemon and 2 handfuls of raw sunflower seeds. I slathered with coconut oil and orange marmalade. Also great with butter and honey. I kept one loaf plain and smeared avocado, nutritional yeast,a fried egg and touch of sea salt.  I made it twice once in a round pie dish and once in a bread loaf pan. Both seem to work great. If you are looking for sandwich bread, pour whole recipe into one bread pan instead of two, or slices will be smaller like shown in picture. Samson almost ate the whole tray while taking pictures, see what I sacrifice for the sake of food blogging?! :)

 

Scruffy and I scrubbed, packed, laughed and danced our way through the moving process. An eye opening experience every time, humbling actually.  Our trash piled high, free box full of love, leather recliner found a new home, storage unit packed, onto the next adventure. Spring is here, change is on the horizon, I can feel it deep within my core.

Thanks for reading Love and Light to you ALL!
