2 1/2 c heavy cream<br />
6 large egg yolks<br />
2 tsp tapioca flour<br />
2 Tbsp sugar<br />
1 tsp vanilla<br />
6 Tbsp raw sugar<br />
<br />
Directions<br />
*You must start this recipe at least one day ahead so the custards have time to chill.<br />
<br />
1. First make the custard by placing the cream in a pan over low heat and bring to just below simmering, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.<br />
2. While the cream is heating, use a balloon whisk to whisk the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and tapioca starch.<br />
3. While whisking the egg mixture the whole time, gradually pour the hot cream into the bowl with the other hand.<br />
4. Once its all in, immediately return to the saucepan using a rubber spatula. Return to the low gentle heat as you continue whisking until the custard is thick and smooth. This will happen as soon as it reaches simmer icing. Do not overheat, or it will look grainy. If this occurs, remove from heat and whisk until smooth again.<br />
5. Divide the custard into the ramekins and leave to cool. Cover each dish with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight.<br />
6. To caramelize the tops, preheat the broiler. Uncover the ramekins and sprinkle tops evenly with one Tbsp of sugar. Place all on a baking tray under the broiler for about 4-5 minutes until the sugar has melted and starts to go very dark brown in some places. Leave the caramel to harden before serving.<br />
<br />
There is another, more common, method of preparing the custard in a steam bath in the oven.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07520154485771471431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240403721686646602.post-74614742813439455652017-03-25T11:49:00.001-07:002017-03-25T11:49:57.991-07:00Strawberry PavlovaIngredients<br />
<br />
For the meringue<br />
3 large egg whites<br />
3/4 c sugar<br />
1 c fresh ripe strawberries, hulled<br />
1 tsp sugar<br />
<br />
Filling<br />
1 250 g tub mascarpone, chilled<br />
1 tsp vanilla<br />
1 tub low fat cream cheese<br />
1 tsp sugar<br />
icing sugar to dust<br />
<br />
Directions<br />
1. Preheat oven to 250. For the meringue: Place the egg whites in a large clean bowl and whisk until they form stiff peaks. It is very important not to over whisk, as it will start to collapse.<br />
2. Now whisk in the 3/4 c sugar, 1Tbsp at a time, whisking after each addition until all the sugar is in.<br />
3. Using a metal tablespoon, spoon about 1/3 of the meringue onto a prepared baking sheet covered in parchment paper, forming a circle about 8 inches in diameter.<br />
4. Next spoon rounded blobs next to each other, so that they join to form a circle all around the edges. Using the tip of a skewer, make little swirls in the meringue. Put into oven, then immediate turn the heat down to 225. Leave for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 min.<br />
5. Turn the heat off but leave the Pavlova inside the oven with the door cracked until it's completely cooled.<br />
6. When ready to serve, or up to 1 hour ahead, whisk the filling ingredients together. Put 1/3 of the strawberries into a food processor along with 1 tsp sugar. Halve the remaining strawberries, leaving small ones whole. <br />
7. Lift the Pavlova from the liner and place on the serving dish. Spook the vanilla cream into the center, arrange the strawberries on top. Dust with icing sugar and pour the puree just before serving. Cut into wedges.<br />

<br />
Tart crust<br />
1 cup flour<br />
1 stick butter<br />
1 Tbsp icing sugar<br />
1 free range egg yolk<br />
1 Tbsp cold water<br />
<br />
Filling<br />
5 free range eggs<br />
3/4 c heavy cream<br />
1 1/2 cups sugar<br />
4 lemons, juice<br />
zest of 1 lemon<br />
icing sugar, for dusting<br />
<br />
Directions<br />
1. For pastry: place flour, butter, icing sugar into a food processor or work by had until the mix resembles breadcrumbs. Then add egg yolk and water<br />
2. Continue working (or pulse food processor) until the mixture sticks together in clumps, then tip onto a work surface and gather it into a ball with your hands. Knead the pastry just two or three times to make smooth. Wrap in saran wrap, place in fridge, chill about 15 minutes to re-cool the butter.<br />
3. Grease tart pan, and dust with flour. Roll out the pastry thin and larger than tart tin size. Place onto tart tin and gently fold the pastry surrounding the tin base in towards the center. It should slightly overhang the rim. Lightly prick with fork, but not all the way through.<br />
4. Place the apstry and tin on a baking tray, cover loosely with foil if desired. Cover with parchment paper and add beans or cooking weights. Blind bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes until the pastry is set. Remove from oven, remove parchment paper and beans, and return to oven for an additional 10-12 minutes. It should be pale golden and completely dry. Reduce oven temp to 325. Carefully trim the excess pastry from the sides using a sharp knife.<br />
5. For the filling, break the eggs into a large bowl and whisk. Add the rest of filling and whisk again until well- combined. Pour into cooled pastry crust. To prevent spilling, pour in the oven. Bake 30-40 minutes until set with just a slight wobble in the center.<br />
6. Leave to cool, and when pastry is firm enough, remove from the tin.Transfer to serving plate and served, dusted with sifted icing sugar.<br />

<br />
Ingredients<br />
<br />
1/2 stick butter<br />
1/4 c raw sugar<br />
1/4 c honey<br />
1/4 c flour (plain or rice)<br />
1 Tbsp dried cranberries, finely chopped<br />
1 Tbsp dried apricots, finely chopped<br />
1 Tbsp zest of orange (about zest of 1/2 to 1 orange)<br />
1 Tbsp almonds, finely chopped<br />
1 Tbsp walnuts, finely chopped<br />
200g plain chocolate (70% cocoa solids)<br />
<br />
Directions<br />
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line 3 trays with parchment paper.<br />
2. Place butter, sugar, and honey in a small pan, heating gently until butter is melted.<br />
3. Remove from heat, add flour, cranberries, apricots, orange zest, nuts to the pan. Stir well to mix.<br />
4. Make 18 florentines by spooning 6 tsp of the mixture onto each of the trays. Be sure to leave enough room for spreading during the bake.<br />
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Leave to partially cool on tray and then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely. (If the florentines become too hard to remove, pop them back into the oven for a few minutes to soften again.)<br />
6. Set a heat proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Temper the chocolate by breaking half of the chocolate into the bowl. Stir until it reaches melting temperature at 127 degrees. Meanwhile, finely chop or grate the remaining chocoate.<br />
7. Carefully remove the bowl from the pan, add the remaining chocolate, and stir gently until cooled at 79 deg. (There are great tutorials online as to how to temper chocolate without a thermometer).<br />
8. Spread the melted chocolate over the flat base back side of each florentine and leave to cool slightly before marking a zip zag in the chocolate with a fork. Leave to set, chocolate side up on the cooling rack. Store in an airtight container.<br />

<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 Tbsp coconut oil<br />
2 lbs chicken breast or thigh, organic<br />
2 cups mushrooms, diced<br />
1 onion, diced<br />
2 cloves garlic, minced<br />
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated<br />
2 cups broccoli florets<br />
1 carrot, peeled and sliced<br />
1 zucchini, sliced<br />
1/2 c. unsweetened organic coconut milk (watch for thickeners in canned products- ie guar gum, etc)<br />
1 tsp tumeric<br />
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon<br />
pinch cloves<br />
salt to taste<br />
2 Tbsp thinly shredded basil<br />
<br />
Directions<br />
1. Brown chicken until cooked through in coconut oil over medium heat.<br />
2. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, ginger and saute until soft.<br />
3. Add broccoli, carrots, zucchini, coconut milk, seasonings and bring to a boil.<br />
4. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.<br />
5. Stir in basil and serve immediately.<br />
<br />
*This recipe can easily be made vegan by eliminating the chicken and increasing the amount of vegetables. I suggest 4 cups brocolli and add an extra carrot and extra zucchini.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">I have been highlighting the 10 Young Living Oils from the Everyday Oil Collection that is included with the Premium Starter kit.

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">Is there a more delicious and refreshing smell than Young Living's Peppermint oil? I love that it smells like the real peppermint plant, rather than a fake sweet candy smell...more earthy. And I love it for so much more:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">1. Fever reducer: Peppermint oil has natural cooling effects. Mix with coconut oil and rub on the child's neck and on the bottom of the feet </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">2. Appetite suppressant: Diffuse or inhale during the desire to snack or before a meal. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">3. Headaches: Rub one drop on the temples, forehead, over the sinuses, on the back of the neck. Be sure to avoid the eyes (with this and any other essential oil)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">4. Seasonal allergies: Use this in the allergy trio for seasonal discomfort. Combine with 3 drops each of Peppermint, Lavender, and Lemon in a capsule and take daily, or diffuse. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">5. Concentration: Place 2 drops on the tongue, rub a drop under the nose to improve concentration and alertness. Great for a long drive!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">6. Soothe an upset stomach: Inhale or rub on the abdomen for a minor stomachache. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">7. BAKING!: Oh yes, use peppermint oil to add flavor to your favorite desserts. Takes wonderful in brownies...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">8. Poison Ivy relief: Dilute with a carrier oil (like coconut oil) and massage into affected area for relief</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">9. Sinus care: Inhale diffused peppermint oil to unclog your sinuses and relieve scratchy throats. It can act as an expectorant and may also relieve coughs and asthma as well. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">10. Stomach ache: This oil can be taken internally in a capsule form, and has been effective at treating irritable stomach issues</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">11. Tired, achy feet: For tired feet, add a few drops with epsom salt to a foot bath to relieve sore, swollen, overworked feet</span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AMsLqd2kDHk/VSbbv-8XK_I/AAAAAAAADNM/VSDCgiUwTPI/s1600/purification-essential-oil-5-300x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AMsLqd2kDHk/VSbbv-8XK_I/AAAAAAAADNM/VSDCgiUwTPI/s1600/purification-essential-oil-5-300x300.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">Purification. Another great essential oil blend included in the Young Living Starter Kit. This is where I began my essential oils journey, and Purification and Thieves were the first two oils that I really latched onto right away because of the sicknesses that were underway at my house when my oils kit came in! Because it helps to purify and cleanse the air, I was diffusing it on and off to rid the illnesses from our halls :) And it worked!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">Other uses for Purification:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">1. Yucky car odors: I like to add a few drops of this oil blend to a cotton ball and use a clip or clothes pin to "diffuse" away the smells that can pile up in the SUV</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">2. Kick the cough: Diffuse 4-5 drops to assist in getting rid of a cough</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">3. Acne: Add purification to your current healthy moisturizer or toner and apply twice daily or add directly to blemishes using a cotton swab</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">4. Laundry refresh: Add Purification to the washing machine to freshen stale laundry</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">5. Insect repellant: Dilute several drops of this essential oil </span></span><span style="line-height: 24px;">blend in a glass spray bottle. Shake before use and spray to repel those pests! You can also add a few other oils like </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Citronella, Clove, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Tea Tree, Cajeput, Eucalyptus, Cedar, Catnip, Lavender, or Mint, as well as Witch Hazel. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">6. Shoe Stink Be Gone: Add a couple of drops to shoes to help neutralize odors</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">7. Eliminate the trash fragrance: Add to a cotton ball and place at the bottom of trash receptacles </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">8. Purify the air: Diffuse Purification to dispel unpleasant odors, remove impurities, rid of illness. I like to use this in hotels when </span></span><span style="color: #2f2f2f;"><span style="line-height: 28px;">traveling! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #2f2f2f;"><span style="line-height: 28px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #2f2f2f;"><span style="line-height: 28px;">9. Relieve blisters: Apply 1-2 drops to a blister to fight infection and speed healing</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">10. Soothe the throat: Rub Purification oil to the outside of the neck for relief</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">11. Deodorant: Simple, all-natural. Simply rub a few drops to each armpits daily. Add a drop of sage oil for anti-perspirant as well. </span><br />
<br />

This is, by far, the best way to get started with essential oil, as the kit includes 11 oils, a home diffuser, free samples to share, and lots of information. Click </span><a href="http://eatingcleanallergenfree.blogspot.com/2015/04/it-was-only-matter-of-timeessential-oils.html" style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: red;">here </span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">to get started on your very own essential oils journey!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tme4DKhcTLo/VSbPYaAkeAI/AAAAAAAADM8/H6AroBwnQ4k/s1600/Unknown-1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tme4DKhcTLo/VSbPYaAkeAI/AAAAAAAADM8/H6AroBwnQ4k/s1600/Unknown-1.jpeg" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">Dare I say it again? Here comes another of my favorites of the Everyday Oil Collection. The key here is "everyday." Because I seriously use it that often. Lemon essential oil is another versatile and amazing little creation of our Lord! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">But here's another reason why I am a *little* obsessed with it: </span><span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lemon oil consists of 68 percent dlimonene, which is an extremely powerful antioxidant. It is delightfully refreshing in water and very good for you. Because </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">most American’s have very acidic bodies and diseases like cancer have been found to thrive in acidic conditions, lemon oil helps by neutralizing the acidity when ingested. Lemon water made with essential oils is A THOUSAND TIMES better for you than a lemon squeezed into your beverage. Why? </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rinds of thousands of lemons. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">Here are some other of my favorite uses:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">1. Natural cleaner: add a few drops to water and clean away! Put this in a GLASS spray bottle to clean and sanitize surfaces. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">2. Veggie and fruit wash: Submerge your fruit in purified water and add 2-3 drops of lemon. (Make sure it is a therapeutic grade essential oil like Young Living)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">3. Stain remover: Add a few drops directly to stain and rub, or add 10-15 drops directly to wash water</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">4. Constipation: Dilute 1 drop in 5-10 drops coconut oil and massage clockwise over abdomen</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">5. Furniture polish: Add a few drops to olive oil</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">6. Runny nose: Rub lemon oil on the outside of your nostrils to dry up a runny nose.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">7. Natural goo-gone: Use 1-2 drops to remove gum, oil, sticker residue, grease spots, glue, crayons, and more!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">8. Cellulite: Massage lemon essential oil into cellulite to help improve circulation and eliminate waste from cells</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">9. Quick pick me up: Inhale lemon oil or place a few drops on a cotton ball to replenish yourself</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">10. Cooking: Add a few drops to chicken marinade for a delicious dinner </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">11. Hydration: Add 1-2 drops to a large GLASS or STAINLESS STEEL cup to reduce body acidity and refresh</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">12. Mucus drainage: Cold getting you clogged? Lemon essential oil can help you overcome that cold fast. It can aid lymphatic drainage, so mix it with carrier oil like EVOO or coconut oil and rub behind the ears and on your neck. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">Important information: Lemon is photosensitive, so you will want to prevent having it on any exposed skin when going out into the sun. Additionally, lemon eats up petrochemicals and should only be placed in glass or stainless containers, as it will eat through plastic!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>

<div style="line-height: 24px;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Now remember, not all oils are created equal. I can only speak for and the only oil company I recommend is Young Living. <span style="background-color: white;">Please do not attempt to purchase this oil from a retail store. Most essential oils sold in stores is a completely different formula that is at best diluted and at worst adulterated. </span><span style="background-color: white;">You can purchase any of these therapeutic grade oils from Young Living as a retail customer,</span><span style="background-color: white;"> but it is a much better value to purchase it as a wholesale member</span><span style="background-color: white;"> (24% less in fact)! This one is even included in the Young Living Essential Oils Premium Start Kit.
