Organic, Sprouted, Raw Vegan, Gluten-Free Bread 🍞

I am experimenting with different bread flavors and want to know your go-to bread or past favorite bread flavors so I can re-create raw versions ✨ Pictured here is a sesame seed loaf, but this past week I made a delicious rosemary loaf which was full of flavor🌿

Bread isn’t an essential weekly item for us as it is dense, but it is a nice go-to very once in awhile.

I know many of you want healthier bread options so comment below with flavors ⬇️

This is also homeschooling/life schooling ☀️

Move beyond the walls of classrooms and what happens with a pen and paper 📝 Children should grow up knowing how to grow their own food 🌿 Through this they can learn about responsibility and taking care of something, nourishing their bodies, Math, Science, Language Arts, Health, Mother Earth, and develop an appreciation for real food 💚

A helpful resource is Math in the Garden, A Hands-On Activities That Bring Math to Life for ages 5-13. If you think your children don’t like math, why not bring math to the garden 🙏🏽

This book goes through fun activities based on number, operations, & algebra, Measurement, Geometry & Pattern, & Data Analysis. What could be more fun than planting a garden, counting seeds in a tomato, locating garden treasures, comparing the area of leaves, measuring plants growth, weighing the garden harvest, mud shakes, pattern snacks, shapes in the garden, symmetry inside fruit, angle search, plant predators, and more?! 🍅

Teach children to appreciate a garden and natural food while learning and discovering hidden treasures and exciting math full of color, aroma, shapes, taste, & imagination 🌿🌿

Are you ready to start a garden or explore a whole new world of math in the garden?

Gluten Free Raw Vegan Lasagna 🌿

Kitchen experiments today included raw lasagna sheets: 600g blended zucchini & 3 TBLS flax blended, spread thinly, and dehydrated. This makes 2 sheets which can then be cut into multiple squares or rectangles depending on your desired lasagna size ✨ I recommend cutting the sheets before assembling. After making the sheets in the morning, they were ready by lunch.

Bottom layer: walnut “meat” consisting of walnuts, tomato, onion, & spices in the food processor, then topped with another lasagna sheet 🌱

Next layer: Macadamia Garden Cilantro Arugula Pesto and chopped tomatoes, topped with another lasagna sheet.

Top layer: Cilantro Dill Cashew Cheez consisting of blended soaked cashews, water, lemon, salt, and pulsed in cilantro and dill with a drizzle of tomato red pepper sauce 🍅

After preparing all layers, I placed back in the dehydrator to warm before enjoying!

*I made 2 large and 2 smaller lasagnas*

This lasagna is very fulfilling, but full of incredible flavor 🌿🌿🌿

Have you heard of Herb Fairies?! 🧚‍♀️✨🧚‍♂️ ✨

Thirteen books bring herbal learning through plant magic. Each journey provides real learning about healing properties of herbs - in a way they will remember through the fairy herb garden adventures! 🌿

Zaedyn and Zaya (5 & 7) love these little chapter books by LearningHerbs.com, the same company with the game Wildcraft that we love to play 💚 Let’s teach our children the magical tales of plants and remedies so that the world continues to use the healing powers of plants throughout life as needed 🙏🏽

We only have 2 books left of the series 🙃 and need new book recommendations that fit our lifestyle! It’s crazy what most books out there teach children.

Where are all the good books like these? 🌿🌿🌿☀️

For the gravy, experiment with your favorite flavors, but I blended a mix of red onion, red wine vinegar, olive oil, fresh orange juice, blackstrap molasses, macadamia, dates, jalapeño, & apple cider vinegar 🍎 Coconut aminos are good, too if you have on hand 🙌🏽 This can also be warmed in your Excalibur Food Dehydrators ✨

For last minute stuffing, I added our homegrown broccoli, cauliflower, macadamia, & spices to the food processor, then mix in organic chopped celery, carrot, and onion. Add in a dash of coconut vinegar, lime, or gravy for some liquid. Warmed in the dehydrator is delicious.

For our dinner, I layered warmed spinach and kale from our garden, stuffing, dehydrated sliced macadamia cheez, mashed potatoes, gravy, & kale chips 💚 Fresh rosemary and thyme are key here for the perfect holiday smells. We use local macadamia nuts, but you can also replace with cashew or your favorite nut/seed 🌿
