Cold Cereal

I finally got around to making this cold cereal again. The first time I tried it I was in August at my parents house. It didn't work well at all, but I wanted to give it another shot because, well it's cereal and who doesn't like cold cereal. This time went great and Braden (my 2yr old) loved it. It is a lot more filling than store bought cereal so you don't need as much. It's crunchy so letting it sit in your bowl with milk for a few seconds is not a bad idea either. I will give this an 8 out of 10 and I think with a few more tweaks like adding almonds or raisins I can make it a 10.

6 cup spelt flour
3 cup kefir
Soak the flour in kefir for 24hrs

Next day:
Add to the flour mixture
3/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup grade B maple syrup
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp maple flavor
1 TBL cinnamon

Bake in 2 9x13 pans on 350 for 25 minutes. Let cool
Clump peices onto two cookie sheets and dehydrate in oven for 12 hrs at 200 degrees.

No Sugar Add the Sea Salt

No sugar today!

I just read an eye opening article about salt. Apparently the only kind of salt we should us in our homes is Sea Salt (Redmond Real Salt – from Utah which has 50 minerals) Another salt that is good would be Celtic Salt from Brittany Europe with 80 minerals. These are actually good for our adrenal glands and overall healthy for our bodies.
