Try Coconut Milk Hot Chocolate!

So delicious on a cool fall day. I just discovered
that "So Delicious" makes a coconut milk
beverage and it is amazing! I tried the vanilla
brand, heated it up and added 2 tsps of organic
dark hot chocolate ...and voila! Delicious!



mmmmm Kale Chips!

My favourite snack and this version is full of fiber, iron and jam packed with
antioxidants!  It's also quick to make and perfect as a snack.
-fresh bunch of kale
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wash kale and cut into bit size pieces.  Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl.
 Spread onto baking sheet and place on middle rack.  Bake for ~6-7 minutes, then
check and use spatula to loosen kale.  Bake for another 4-6 minutes to desired
crispness.  Keep a close eye on kale chips as they are baking as they can
brown/burn quickly.  Remove and cool for a few minutes before serving.

Cleansing Enchiladas!

These tasty enchiladas are gluten free, dairy free, vegan and absolutely
scrumptious! They can be eaten on a cleanse  for most so long as you don't need to
avoid tomatoes or other veggies in this recipe. This recipe is also quick to make but
using ready-made salsa and refried black beans.  You can use any kind and
homemade of course is even better.  

- 1 can of Amy's (or other) refried black beans
- 1 jar of your favourite salsa
- brown rice wraps
- peppers, onions, zucchini

Sauté some onions in coconut oil along with peppers and zucchini.  Heat up some
refried beans on stove (low heat is fine).  

Pour a small amount of salsa onto the bottom of a glass rectangular pan. Preheat
oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Heat rice wraps one at a time for only a minute or
two until they bend a little easier.  Fill with black beans and veggies and then roll up
and place in glass pan.  Continue until you have filled pan with little 'rolls' that are
together nicely (about 6 or 7 rolls).  Pour the rest of the salsa over your 'rolls' so
that they are evenly covered.  A bit of extra salsa will help soften the rice wraps as
they bake.  Bake covered for 30-35 minutes.  Let stand uncovered for a few minutes
before serving.  Enjoy!
