Coconut Milk Yogurt

Coconut Milk Yogurt



2  cans full-fat coconut milk (Market Value or Thai Kitchen)
*
¼ C water
2 tsp gelatin powder (Great Lakes brand red can is healthier than Knox)
1-1/2 TBL honey
1 scoop pea protein powder
1 capsule probiotics (approx 1/4 tsp)
pinch of sea salt (I think)
Optional: ½ tsp turmeric powder or ¼ tsp cardamom powder
5 half-pint glass canning jars with lids

  1. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, bring coconut milk to at least 110ºF. While it is warming on the stove, pour water into a wide rimmed shallow bowl and sprinkle gelatin over the water. Set aside so gelatin can bloom.
  2. Remove pan from the stove. To the coconut milk add honey, softened gelatin and pea protein powder (and spices if using). Test temperature to make sure it is lukewarm (110º), then open capsule of probiotics and sprinkle into the mixture.
  3. Using an immersion blender, blend well.
  4. Pour into the small canning jars, using metal funnel, and cap with lids. 
  5. Set a heating pad in a draft free place on a counter and set to lowest setting. Place jars on the heating pad and cover with a thick wool sweater, or felted cozy.
  6. Leave alone until it’s done, at least 12 hours. Then, tighten lids again (they will have loosened a bit). Shake each jar. Refrigerate for several hours to thicken.

Easter Babies (Croatian Easter Bread Dolls)

  Easter Babies                                                     ******* Makes 12 Easter Babies These Easter Babies (Croatian Easter bread dolls a.k.a.   primorski uskrsne bebe )  are a new tradition in our family. The egg dying, dough mixing and braiding is so fun for children and grownups—it’s contagious. Traditionally, they are made with red-dyed eggs, but we use the colors we already have dyed. They make sweet gifts and they also look charming laying next to each Easter dinner plate.  This lady  uses naturally dyed eggs for her Easter babies. If you're already making  challa bread , use extra challa dough for these babies (simply make enough dough for 2 loaves, only bake one challa, and use the remaining dough for the Easter Babies).

Sprouts Foo Young ******* For each pancake:   2 eggs Grapeseed oil or ghee 1 C sprouts (alfalfa, sunflower, mung bean) 1 small clove garlic, minced ¼ C chopped green onion tops 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (or pinch of ground ginger) ½ to 1 tsp Braggs amino sauce (like soy sauce) Optional:  add shrimp or fresh crab meat to step #1 Add a bit of oil in a small skillet.  Over medium heat sautee garlic, ginger and green onion tops.  Do not brown the garlic—that will make it bitter. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk eggs until light and fluffy.  Whisk in Braggs. When garlic is fragrant, add a bit more oil, then add sprouts, give them a stir or two (to mix with garlic, etc.), and pour egg over all.  Cook like an omelette, or flip like a pancake to brown on both sides.

Challa Bread

Challa Bread *******  Makes 2 loaves My neighbor, Bonnie, grew up with a Jewish friend and learned to love their family traditions, songs and the Hebrew language. Every Sunday she taught our Mormon young women a lot about the Hebrew alphabet and about many Jewish traditions (I was a teacher in Young Women so I got to hear her lessons). Even though she didn't talk about food, her lessons gave me the nudge to learn how to make something I'd always wanted to try . . . challa bread.  Check out h ow to braid a six-strand challa .
