Strawberry Simplicity

Simple, Sensational and oh so Sexxxy!You can't get more simple than this! My self-imposed challenge with the Medicine Flower Giveaway, has been to explore creative and fun ways to use the most amazing gourmet extracts I've ever tasted...and smelled! Have I mentioned the scent?  W often sees me walk into the kitchen, open up a bottle of this yummy elixir, and...

I N H A L E

...usually followed by an "Ohhhh My God!"  Such DECADENT goodness packed into a tiny bottle.

Well, sometimes, the most obvious is the most overlooked. Today, my simple strawberry offering to you is this:

Green No-Strawberry Strawberry Smoothie

I do love biting into a sweet, ripe, juicy strawberry on occasion, but I'm not a huge fan of strawberry shakes or ice cream. (Also, the seeds sometimes bother my tummy). I have to admit that playing with my new Medicine Flower Strawberry Extract has opened my eyes to a whole realm of possibilities. So here is a strawberry smoothie, without any strawberries!

The strawberry essence of these extracts is incredibly rich and fresh, and the aroma is incredible...and no seeds to upset my tummy! I can make a smoothie, using ANY fruit, or hardly any fruit at all, add a few drops of these strawberry extracts and YUMMMMMMM. No one would believe there were no strawberries in this strawberry smoothie!!!

Have I told you how much I love these things???

Sprouted Kamut Olive Bread

Dark, rich and earthy, this sprouted Kamut bread is super quick and easy to make, and dehydrates quickly compared to most breads.

It's a very basic recipe and while it's tasty as is, next time, I'll try adding specific herbs, or maybe add a hint of sun dried tomatoes to it? It freezes well.

Gourmet Hazelnut Coffee Elixir

OH MY GAWD! I did a taste test this morning and here are my findings:  While I LOVE the taste of coffee, I don't drink it, never got hooked on it, but love the flavor and scent. I like it, but it does not like me. However, I LOVE grinding fresh, gourmet coffee beans every morning for my man, and inhaling the aroma. I brew a pot of his favorite beans, a custom blend that I create. So, I recognize and appreciate really good coffee!

This morning...

Harmonious Hazelnut Smoothie

Creamy Wild Mushroom and Spinach Pasta

Inspired by this delicious quiche recipe, I concocted an incredibly tasty cream sauce, served over a combination of kelp and zucchini noodles.  I also used Eden's artichoke pasta (in photo), for W. I don't do pasta, but will allow myself a very small helping of these.

The recipe is a KEEPER!

African Horned Melon (Kiwano)

W brought this home from the store today, and I had no idea what it was, or what to expect. I had to do a little research and find out HOW to eat it, before I was brave enough to pick up the very sharp horned fruit and slice into it.

Wild Mushroom and Spinach Stuffed Pepper

I had a lot of quiche stuffing leftover from the previous recipe and someone suggested stuffing it into a bell pepper. I used a beautiful orange bell pepper. I'm going to put it in the dehydrator for a few hours, really condense the flavors, and soften the pepper. It sure looks yummy!
