Join Me for Merienda: Oat Milk!!!!

A short post tonight,
I recently made oat milk for the first time.
I don't know why it took me this long to make some since it's so economical and easy to make. 

You just need 3 basic ingredients:
*Old Fashioned Oats (not instant oats)
Filtered water
Sea salt
*Use certified Gluten Free Oats to make sure
That it is celiac friendly!



I looked up a recipe on youtube and one suggested 2 Cups of Water for every 1Cup of Oats plus a pinch of sea salt ( I like to use himalyan pink sea salt).

Place everything in a blender and let it go until most of the oats are broken down and then pour everything through a fine mesh sieve ( any of the leftover particles can be eaten as is or used in recipes( and then bottle ( I reused some old kombucha bottles that I sanitized) and store in the fridge.

I played around with the water ratio before and after the fact. It seems like you can adjust the consistency to your liking. You could also add in vanilla or a natural sweetner of your choice to suit your taste.

I also added cacao to one batch and it's great =)

If you like oatmeal; then you'll probably like oat milk.

That's it!!!!
Give it a try =)

Wishing you peace and happy cooking🌟

Happy Leap Day and Jess a Tip!

Happy Leap Day!!!
I had a fairly productive day and I had hoped to share this tip with the create tv contest for PBS, but I ran out of time and I do not do much video editing these days; so I wouldn't feel good submitting something that was subpar.

It's a simple tip that encourages waste not, want not. I definitely try to be frugal and this is one of those ways that I achieve this goal.

Everytime that I use any type of citrus I make sure to zest them first. I then mix the zest into either sugar, sea salt and sometimes oil too.

I can then use these for future recipes and the flavors are a great addition to cakes, crackers, salads etc.

I will be sharing some recipes in the future featuring this ingredient.

I hope that you all had a wondeful day and that you will have an even better tomorrow.

Wishing you all
Good Health and Happy Cooking
