Here's a simple chia pudding recipe for one serving, you can multiply it up for more servings. (This post is being moved here from the previous sisters blog.) I'll show you how simple it is then summarize at the end for you. Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon Chia seeds 1 Teaspoon cocoa 1 Stevia packet 4 Tablespoons of milk Mix Wait a couple minutes and mix again to make sure there are no lumps (I mix it here and there while I'm doing other things) Put in the refrigerator and I usually let it sit for most of a day if not overnight. It's great with a dab of yogurt on it too. I'm thankful for healthy foods from the Father.
Love in Christ, Sister Deb And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 1 Timothy 6:8 Here's a quick slide show on how I pack my cooler in van life for best insulation. It seems to do very well for us and maybe will give you some ideas for yours. Here's a simple Mediterranean pasta salad I make that you might enjoy also. Sorry, I don't use measurements on salads but you can adapt it however you want. INGREDIENTS: * Cooked pasta * Tomatoes * Red/yellow/orange pepper * Cucumber * Onion * Can of beans (I like either white or garbanzo) Chop veggies, add drained beans and mix.
Toss with Italian dressing. I didn't have any Italian dressing for this one so I improvised by drizzling olive oil (couple tablespoons) and a/c vinegar (couple teaspoons) and some tomato/basil seasoning with salt. I like to top it on the plate with some parmesan cheese and you can add some sunflower seeds too. (I add sunflower seeds to almost all my salads :-) Praise God for healthy, simple foods for van life (and regular house life:-). I thought I'd share a little bit about apple cider vinegar, how we use it and then you can do more research and see many other uses for it. I found the two small bottles for $1.25 so for $2.50 I filled my glass bottle (that I'd originally found discounted) that normally runs an ave of $5 or more.
Brother Tupos and I make a daily vinegar drink with vitamin c and magnesium, which is the main reason I buy it and the other reason would be that I use it as a conditioner for my hair. It's super simple to do! After you wash your hair and rinse it, you just put a couple tablespoons of vinegar in a cup and fill it with water and pour it over your head. I wait about one minute then rinse it out. It doesn't smell like vinegar and your hair has a light softness to it. Nope it's not like the fancy store bought conditioners but what do we need that for as our hair is covered all day. It's super frugal (pennies per rinse) and it's great for van life because it rinses out with minimal water, contrary to regular conditioner which uses a lot of water and is not good for van life. I'm thankful for such simple things that the Lord provides. Sister Aman |
