<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;"><em>Have you ever gotten a sudden, unexplainable craving? For some reason I get a sudden urge for orange near the beginning of winter each year. Orange juice, orange cake, orange candy and oranges of course. I even had blood orange candies to eat during the birth of our son, hahaha! I remember a while back sitting in the cafeteria with some of my best friends at the time and one of them peeled open a Clementine. Our lunch lady stood creepily behind us and exclaimed “Smells like Chreeestmas!!” From that point on it was a bit of an inside joke. I only wonder now if oranges to me signify that simpler time or if maybe age makes oranges smell like Christmas/ pine. Who knows. These muffins will most certainly ease that craving for oranges and strangely remind you of Christmas. </em></span></div>

Fold in wet ingredients including your pressed and chopped orange (Simply chop half a cup of fresh orange and place between two paper towels until mostly dried. You may also use dried apricots.) DO NOT over mix as this will result in heavy muffins. Next fill prepared muffin pan and sprinkle cane sugar and cinnamon on top, bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a fork pushed into the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool completely before serving. (Or sneak a warm one ;). *Sigh* "Smells like Chreeesmaaaas!"</span></em></div>

<span lang="EN"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>This year for Thanksgiving we did things a wee bit different than our usual “sit and eat a feast” considering many new factors. One, our new little fella got to join the festivities. Two, Alex had a stomach virus and Sebastian had a runny nose. At the start of the day, we were planning to spend our evening in the emergency room because Alex just couldn’t take it anymore.. However, he pushed through it and thought a big meal might help liven his spirits. Forgetting the fact that he didn’t feel much like moving. We casually decorated one of our upstairs desk chairs each and decorated our hallway ‘room’ fit for Thanksgiving dinner and sick family movie night. I assembled a lovely dinner filled with the homemade goodness of gluten free macaroni and yease, gluten free cornbread stuffing, garlic rosemary mashed baby red potatoes, mushroom gravy, pumpkin pie, and broiled brussle sprouts (Mustering up all the energy he had, Alex even helped with the brussel sprouts). The only thing boxed or packaged was our huge chunk of gluten-ous goodness of the Tofurkey. The vegan me was totally against the Tofurkey but the sale-lover insisted upon it since I had a $4.00 off coupon.. I’ll tell you the taste was good, although, beware if you have even the slightest of gluten-intolerance.. I was bloated out of my mind and had a pain in my gut till morning. The majority of Alex’s night was spent in the bathroom following dinner.. Apparently gluten is one of the WORST things to eat while suffering from gastroenteritis.. SO glad he’s better now. Being alone out here for yet another holiday is nothing new (I prefer it if it means spending the holiday with my side of the family. Seriously, one minute with them and you're reconsidering your whole life and ready to jump from a moving car onto a bed of nails and then submerged into a sea of acid. No exaggeration). I am so thankful we got to spend it together though, even if the circumstances weren’t ideal. Got to love Carbon family holidays, haha. We are chaos, controlled.</em></span></div>

When it got cold I just didn't have it in me to sit and eat a bowl of cold cereal for breakfast. I needed something warm and feel good. Oatmeal is usually my first choice and with the endless possibilities on how to 'dress it up' it is a sensible option. Until I got bored. All the dressing up couldn't mask the fact that I'm eating oatmeal EVERY morning. Healthy- yes. Tasty- yes. But just like anything, moderation truly is key. I've recently stumbled upon Bob's Red Mill GF Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal. It's a lovely mix-up of brown rice, corn, buckwheat, and sorghum. Naturally low in fat and sodium, it easily replaces my oatmeal while still yielding great health benefits. It's basically grits but... grit-e-er? I don't know how else to explain it but it sure is 'mighty tasty'.</div>

*As a side note, grits should also work here. They too are naturally gluten-free and vegan:)</div>

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">I know I really should make my own GF pizza crust from scratch. It would save money, packaging etc. If you have a recipe you want to substitute, go right ahead. For now I’ll stick to my Bob’s simply for convenience and quality. A mother of a nine month old doesn’t always have that sort of time:/. Anyhow, this pizza is sweet and savory- one of my favorite combos. Not to mention (but I am anyway) the textures! Crunchy, creamy and juicy (is that a texture?). I’m usually a four slices kinda girl (so what, I’m a runner!) but this pizza fills me up in two! Our family is obsessed with pizza. Here’s my way of stretching that obsession throughout the seasons:)

Spread pizza crust out on a prepared pizza pan/ stone. Bake for 5-7 minutes without toppings. Remove from oven and spread on sauce, place all veggies evenly on pizza.

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">Cook your rice according to package (don't use any other rice as a substitution!). Prepare your mango. *This will be a mess because the juices will flow as it is very ripe. As an alternative, you may use a less ripe mango and pulse in a blender- leaving chunks.* Mix mango, rice, and chia seeds in a medium bowl using a spoon. Makes 2-4 servings.</span></em></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Start by soaking your cashews for an hour or more, then drain. Add to a food processor or a good blender and slowly incorporate water for a smooth 'cream' consistency. Start to cook your rice according to package instructions (I stick to a 1:2 ratio; 1 cup rice to 2 cups water- works perfect every time:). In a medium sauce pan, heat oil. Then add minced jalapeno and garlic- cook for a minute or so. Next, add in all of your spices, salt, and tomato sauce. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 15 mins. Stir in 'cream' and vegetable stock. Simmer for another 10 mins. Next add all of your veggies and simmer on low for 20 mins. Spoon over rice when ready to serve. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together flour and oil. Next, slowly add warm water until you get a smooth but firm dough formed. Divide dough into small balls (approx. the size of golf balls) and roll out (don't worry too much on making these perfectly round). Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat and add rolled our dough. cook until side is brown and then add a about a tbls of spinach. Fold and cook for 30 secs. Remove from heat and continue process until all are cooked:). Serve with any hummus!</span></div>

Heat a good non-stick skillet on medium heat. Once ingredients have been mixed successfully, begin spooning mixture into small rounds. When the rounds begin to create pores on top, it's time to flip! Cook thoroughly. Stack them and pour on your favorite syrup! I chose ginger syrup by Ginger People:)</span></em></div>

The green mug has a partner also (unintentionally, everything came in a set of deux.). It will work perfectly for our soy ice-cream sundaes and lagers. the birdies are definitely perfect for our upstairs study area, and as for the books- who wouldn’t want to learn the art and practice of clairvoyance/ astral projection just saying.
