Blueberries & Cream Baked Oatmeal Squares


Since the oatmeal squares went over so well, I had to make them again.  Big A has had cross country practices twice a week at 8:15am and this is the perfect thing to give the girls to eat for breakfast when we are rushing to get out the door early.  This time I changed things up with berry good results!

Blueberries & Cream Baked Oatmeal Squares

2 cups non-dairy milk (vanilla or plain, unsweetened)
1/4 cup granular stevia
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup flax meal
1 scoop(28g) berry flavoured vegan protein powder (I used this one)
2 cups oats
1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Bring 1 cup of the milk, stevia and vanilla to a boil in a small pot over medium heat.  Remove from heat and whisk in flax.  Set aside. Combine oats and baking soda in a large bowl.  Pour in flax mixture and remaining 1 cup of milk and stir until well mixed.  Scrape batter into greased 9x9 square pan.  Bake at 350F for 18-20 minutes, until centre is set.  Let cool.  Ice if desired, and then cut into 16 squares.  Keep refrigerated for up to 7 days, or freeze. Serve warm or cold.

Icing: 1 scoop berry flavoured vegan protein powder, 1/2 cup powdered erythritol, 1/2 tsp beet juice powder (for colour, if desired),1/2 cup non-dairy milk.  Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl and spread over top of squares before cutting. 

I have added this recipe to Urban Naturale's Healthy, Happy, Green and Natural Link-Up and Vegetarian Mamma's Gluten-Free Friday.

Japanese 7-Spice Kelp Noodles

I love trying new spices and seasonings, so I am very excited that the President's Choice Black Label line now has a bunch of new spice blends available.  My most recent find: Shichimi Togarashi, or Japanese 7-Spice blend. It's a combination of crushed red chili flakes, sea salt, Szechiuan peppercorns, black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, orange zest, wasabi powder and nori seaweed flakes. I make Japanese-inspired dishes all the time, but resort to the same old flavours most of the time: miso, soy, sesame, ginger and garlic.  I was so excited to be able to liven things up a bit. This dish is easy and tasty, although be warned that this seasoning packs punch.  I used 1 tsp, which ended up being too spicy for me, and I have a high tolerance for heat!  I recommend 1/4-1/2 tsp, or, if you don't like heat at all, make your own at home and omit the red chili flakes.  You'll get all the flavour without the heat. I served these noodles with a mix of seafood (

Blackfly Coolers: Product Review

Summer is over! Well, at least if you're a student. Officially it doesn't end for a few weeks, and it certainly still feels like summer. Yeah, I hate it. This f*cking hot, humid weather needs to end NOW! We made the most of our last weekend of the summer with our annual trip to the CNE on Friday, with a crowd of friends. It wasn't unbearably lot, thank goodness, and the girls and their friends had a blast on the rides.  Saturday I had to work, and Sunday was errand day. Monday we took the girls berry/apple/pear picking but didn't last long due to the heat. I organized the house to prepare for the construction workers starting back up yesterday, while Adam took the girls for a swim in our neighbourhood pool. Yesterday was the first day of school. Grade 2 and Grade 5. Yep, the girls are growing up.  We are fortunate that the girls don't have much anxiety about school, they are so much more confident than I ever was as a kid! But now, in the midst of our reno ch

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ste
