Breakfast at Fayme's in the Kitchen; Home-made Muesli

I love Muesli in the morning, filled with nuts and chocolate. However, if you make your own muesli, you know exactly how much you would like to have in there and you know how much sugar (or honey in this case) is added.

Instead of using regular chocolate chips, I used cocoa nibs, they are raw roasted cocoa beans, they are a bit more bitter, and crunchier and have an intense dark chocolate flavor, with regular chocolate making extra cocoa butter, sugar and milk is added, which honestly isn't too bad to swap in for an easy much more flavorful cocoa nib.

Happy Weekend!

What you need;
- Rolled oats
- Nuts (I used macadamia nuts)
- Dried Fruit (I used chopped sour cherries)
- Honey (I used thyme honey)
- Cocoa nibs (optional)
- Cinnamon & Cardamom 

1. spread the oats on a baking sheet or oven dish together with the oats, the spices and the honey, stir them all together so they are coated evenly with the honey.
2. Pop it in the oven for +/- 10-12 minutes, take out, hustle, so they get toasty evenly, then pop 'em back in for another 10-12 minutes.
3. Take it out when it looks toasty, let them chill for 10 minutes, then break up the clumps, stir in the cocoa nibs and dried fruits, store in a airtight container.

Et Voila!! Your own home-made muesli, Enjoy!

Breakfast at Fayme's in the Kitchen; Farmers Market Breakfast

Good Sunday Morning!

I got these great fresh ingredients at the organic farmers market, perfect for the Sunday morning brunch!

What's on the menu? A lavish fall yogurt parfait.

I got some in season walnuts and pecans, thyme, thyme honey, and a pluot (it's a mix between a plum and an apricot, you could also use just a plum or just an apricot).  

Start with some thick yogurt (I use greek yogurt), then crack and chop the nuts on top, cut the pluot to go on top, sprinkle some fresh thyme leaves on top, drizzle the thyme honey over all of it...

Et Voila! Bon Appetit!

No-bake Nutty Coconut and Date cookies

Ok I have a serious sweet tooth and if I want I can bake a batch of cookies whenever I like and eat them too! These are an healthier take on something sweet, packed with protein naturally sweet and filling, so you'll only eat one at a time (maybe).

What you need;

-Sticky dates

-Nuts (pecans, almonds or macadamia)

-Unsweetened shredded coconut

1. Pop the dates in the food processor first, then add the nuts and shredded coconut

2. I just made them by feeling the "batter", when crumby and sticks together when pressed, it's good.

3. You can make balls, patties or bars which ever you like best!

Et Voila! Your no-bake nutty, coconut and date cakes

Happy Sunday

A breakfast yogurt with hemp and chia seeds, fresh blood orange and mango juice. 

blood orange is a good change from regular orange or grapefruit. I got mine from a Farmers market last weekend, they are winter fruits so almost out of season (get your hands on 'em while you can!). 

Since becoming a pescatarian I have also been into discovering different foods and "super foods". 

Hemp and chia seeds add great nutritional values to your daily meals. For example, hemp is high in protein and chia seeds can be used to substitute butter in any baking recipe as well! 

I'm off to a yoga detox class! 

Happy Sunday!
