<u>Directions:</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
-For each color you will need to clean out your juicer each time<br />
-I juiced about 1 cup of each fresh fruit or veggie and came up with a few tablespoons each of every color. Depending on what colors you want and how much you want, juice more or less.<br />
-Dyes are only good for a few days so make new dye each time you need it<br />
-Do not worry too much about the veggie flavors coming through in your food, they are very subtle and won't overpower your flavor and make it gross, promise!!<br />
-* mix in a little bit of baking soda to change the color to blue! its magic, you will see!!<br />
-Use your dyes for your baking recipes, enjoy!!!<br />

Yule is a great way to bring in winter celebrations around the winter Solstice. The tradition is to cut a tree around the property and use a log from the tree to decorate with evergreens and bring into the home. On the solstice or Yule, wishes are written and added to a decorated log which is then burned along with the wishes. After the log is burned the ashes are used to surround the home's perimeter to ward off bad spirits and energies.<br />

To make your own Yule log, you will need fresh cut evergreens, natural string, a bendable stick, a log, a cut of fabric or ribbon of you liking. Start off with making a ring with your bendable stick, lay evergreens on the stick and slowly wrap with string covering the ring to make a wreath. Once wreath is done, lay cut log on the wreath for a base, tie more evergreens, sticks, moss, holly to the top of the log and tie in place. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRl6oRcFD0jUQnUIKFrqtBnxd5pola2VIyjoPojj1fknybkxcpu8rfmTPF3WFQEQ50j3GAI1UJLc61icDBjEDlq80AwU1t2iwloktymFHWXqrwdbs28R0tFJlWSnOrA-jtkNV5j979ZoVJ/s1600/121207_0196.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRl6oRcFD0jUQnUIKFrqtBnxd5pola2VIyjoPojj1fknybkxcpu8rfmTPF3WFQEQ50j3GAI1UJLc61icDBjEDlq80AwU1t2iwloktymFHWXqrwdbs28R0tFJlWSnOrA-jtkNV5j979ZoVJ/s640/121207_0196.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
Cook down bacon, remove from pan, pour off all but 1-2 tbls of grease, add crumbled bacon back in, and slowly sprinkle in flour as you heat up the grease and bacon. The bacon should be coated, and grease soaked up. I usually only use a 1/4 cup total, once bacon has coat slowly add in some of your milk. We will use 1 cup of milk for this particular rue. Pour hot rue directly into already warming soup.<br />

My friends and I held a really beautiful baby shower for our good friend and mama to be, but getting closer to the date we decided to gather up the girls to plan out a <a href="http://mealtrain.com/">meal train </a>for mom and dad to be. We found a really great <a href="http://mealtrain.com/">website</a> for this and decided that our meal planning session could be inclusive to mom, since the site would organize most of it anyway and what we were really craving was quality time together before she had her baby.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I made sure everyone knew to bring a bead for one of our crafts; which was making a rainbow catcher for the birthing space and a decoration for the babies room. Were we would all add a "special bead" and discuss where it came from and why it was sentimental and add it to the chain with the hanging crystal.<br />

Planned ever so perfectly, we started her day by planning a pregnancy photo session, that turned out beautifully! When she arrived at my home later, we pampered her with a warm essential oil foot bath and massage, braided her hair. While she sat we made her a belly cast, talked and ate an amazing dinner, all while creating beautiful memories together and a event to remember! </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Mama belly cast </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make a belly cast: Buy 2 packages of plaster of paris strips, coat moms belly in olive oil first! The process is pretty simple, just find a comfy chair and area you are not worried about getting wet or messy. Fill up a medium sized bowl with warm water and as you go soak the strips and set them on mom's oil coated belly and smooth out as you go. Once it is dry is should slowly come off with a little assistance. Once its dry it can be painted and hung up.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Prayer flag station. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make prayer flags: Cut fabric to small rectangles of your size choice and leave out with sharpies, paints, and a prayer flag for ideas and artistry. The goal being to inspire positive thoughts and meditation. This can also be hung in babies room after they are born. Once all flags are made, simply sew of even glue gun onto long string about an inch apart. I glued the corners of the fabric squares as well to prevent unravelling, I suggest you do this too. </div>

As you will see already in the short amount of time he has put a "lot" of love into this once gravel parcel of land and totally transformed it.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Just a quick idea for your next skull inspired cake! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I made a basic box cake for a friends birthday who likes skulls and crossbones. I used strawberry sauce for the blood, fondant for the skull and crossbones, and mini roses for fun as my bones. I used a non-toxic marker to draw the details on the skull and let the strawberry sauce seep into thru the eyes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What do you think of my skull cake?

As you can see I made very tiny Gingerbread Houses from real <a href="http://trulyoriginalorganics.blogspot.com/2012/12/real-ginger-and-molasses-gingerbread.html">Gingerbread cookie dough.</a> I decided that a teeny house was just going to be ridiculously cute so I set to work. Hope you like it!<br />
For toppings use mini M&M's, coconut flakes, frosting, cake glitter, and sour patch people.<br />

<br />
1) Cook butternut squash in oven at 250 for about an hour<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2) In blender or food processor create filling<br />
3) Once squash is done, cool and scoop out 1/2 of the squash (see this recipe for what you can make with your other half of your squash; <a href="http://trulyoriginalorganics.blogspot.com/2011/04/squashcakes-healthy-and-delicious.html">Squashcakes</a>)<br />

4) Use squash to create your pasta, No bowl needed, Lay flour on cutting board, create a indent in center of flour to crack your eggs into, mix ingredients on board and mix in squash. Roll out with pasta press or to 1/8 inch thick with rolling pin.<br />

6) Pick up parts to weave in layers going crossways, the less you make the easier it is to weave ;)<br />
<br />

<div>
Ingredients for Crust:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4 cups whole wheat pastry flour</div>
<div>
1 cube of real butter (cold) or solid coconut oil</div>
<div>
2 tsp salt</div>
<div>
1/4-1 cup of water</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
1) Crust is a tricky one, butter must be cold!!! Mash cold butter with pastry tool into flour and get as small a possible. Add salt.<br />
<br />
2) Slowly mix in water until sticking, kneed together, the right consistency will be sticking without falling apart.<br />

Follow directions on the gelatin packet you purchased, instead of water, use apple juice (we made some juice with the same apples)<br />
To be creative and just making jelly we wanted to add some chunky apple texture, but not quite like jam<br />
<br />
You can do this two ways;<br />
<br />
1) Peel, core, and cook down apples, then mash and sieve through a cheese clothe.<br />

2) Cook down 2 cups small diced apples in a large sauce pan (cored, peel if you like) and spice with cinnamon, cardamom, salt and nutmeg to taste plus 1/2 cup of the sugar from the jelly and 1/4 juice from the jelly with 2 tbls butter for about 20 minutes. Start boil of apple juice and follow jelly directions to a T! <br />

9) Place on baking pan with sides, just in case of spillage, and bake for about 40 mins or until crust is golden brown.<br />
10) Individual pies without the tin are quite easy to make and to eat, so I hope you will try this recipe! You can also fill with apple pie, chicken pot pie, or even some marinara, or cheesy broccoli or even cheese and herbs.<br />

While I was staying in Italy the three of us girls decide we are "just going out for coffee" and mistakenly I leave my camera back at the apartment. I have used other pictures from my trip to help narrate my story. But here goes the story of a really unexpected day. So, while we are having our espresso and crossaint, we see a bus out the window. Our friend, a current resident of Seina insists we must take take it because its a great day trip and adventure, why not!? So we drink down our espressos and just get on a bus that our friend hyped us up about. The destination<i> the</i> place to get amazing olive oil and and Chianti, a little castle in the Tuscan hills just 45 mins away. SOUNDS AMAZING to me!<br />

So we start the journey, and I will just say any bus ride or car ride you take in Italy, you will kiss the ground after you arrive safely. Anyway, I know nothing about olives, and I regret to say I don't really like them. I know a little about wine, but nothing about Chianti or what I am to expect. I am excited to hear from the hostess that Chianti is a wine that only comes from the Chianti Hills in the Tuscan region between Florence and Seina. This highly prized wine traditionally comes in a stout bottle with a straw case around the lower area of the bottle. We are going to to wine country, right up my alley, and I am interested to learn more about Chianti!!<br />

It takes you someplace very hard to explain, but its humbling to know how people used to live and the things they did to protect themselves from each other. Walking into the "castled in city" is absolutely incredible. There is an underground tunnel that goes under part of the walled in city that has guard windows to look out in case of intruders. Within the walls is a quaint little city with bakeries, espresso, gelato, wineries, artists galleries, gift shops and a whole lot of history and vibe to it.<br />
<br />
A very hot day in August at the top of a very dry area in Italy calls for some gelato, so we stopped to get a few bowls and headed on our way. Italy if already didn't know is gelato heaven. Mountainous heaps of color and flavor taunt you as you walk by gelato booths that are strategically placed... EVERYWHERE! MMMmmmm.... Gelato! After a bit of that we checked out the incredible tunnel and view from the guard windows of the grape vineyard and olive tree covered hills below.<br />

Next we stop at a winery and olive oil shop with Classico Chianti that is over 100 years old and still using same techniques to continue to make traditional Chianti wine. We had some great tasting and bought a few bottles to enjoy at Campo de Piazza in Seina later that night. I did try the olive oil and it was hard to resist buying some. The olive oil is so light and delicious and taste laden, it is almost drinkable. Since I couldn't buy the olive oil, I instead bought myself a little cutting board made from an olive tree cut down there in the area. It was just too cool to pass up, and I use it everyday still. It brings me good thoughts of this day in Castellina De Chianti.<br />

See my <a href="http://trulyoriginalorganics.blogspot.com/2012/04/homemade-pizza.html">pizza recipe</a>, where I have given my best efforts to replicate this amazing pizza for you at home. We had to eat quick so we didn't miss our bus. We tried to take it with us with permission from our waitress, but the Italian's do not "do" to go food. You do not ask for a box at the end of your dinner. Your chef will be insulted if you send food back to their kitchen, which is hard because they give you food, and a lot of it! I swear we paid and ate a few bites, and had to practically "steal" our own pizzas to get out of there with them!<br />
<br />
We barely caught our bus, munched down the rest of our tasty pizza and chased it with some Chianti before our ride back to Seina. I'd say we had a pretty awesome accidental adventure, but lesson learned when in Italy, don't go anywhere with out your camera! <span style="text-align: center;">I hope you enjoyed your visit with me in Italy! </span><br />

7) Pour batter into baking pans and add in what special ingredients you want into each loaf and stir in gently. If you put it it all in the batter all the good stuff sinks to the bottom so its a good idea to do it this way.<br />

8) Bake 30 mins until toothpick comes out clean. I wanted it to stay really moist so I put foil over the top about half way in so the top wouldn't overcook. They turned out A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and soooo moist. You will LOVE these! Enjoy and hope you'll be back again soon to visit! Thanks so much!<br />

Italy is the culinary heaven! I learned a lot about the Italian way of life while I was there and think America should adopt these old world techniques that have somehow gotten lost how to grow and appreciate flavorful foods.<br />
<br />
1) Small refrigerators means less storage, so less food in the house. Many Italian's go to the market every day to get just what they need for the meal they will be preparing that day.<br />

Breakfast is just a snack and consists usually of an espresso, a light pastry, and a piece of fruit. (my favorite a macciato, a croissant and a peach, mmmm...) Lunch is an appetizer with cheeses, breads, meats, pesto, balsamic, tomatoes. Dinner is dinner and often eaten out late, at around 9 pm people start meeting up for supper and it lasts for hours. Unlike American restaurants where we eat, drink and converse in 40-60 mins and are given our ticket (hint, hint) and on our ways. Dinner starts with sparkling water, wine and bread, then you move through the courses, salad, pasta, meat, dessert and in the meantime spend hours enjoying your food, wine and company, and the staff at the restaurant is not trying to bustle you out, if you don't know to ask, you will think your wait staff to be rude, because they will never bring you your ticket, until you ask.<br />
<br />
3) Fresh, local, and organic. In Europe you know you are eating quality food because they do not allow GMO's and have not modernized their farming. Many farmers drive their produce into the city daily and are using property and technique that has been passed through generations for ages. Everything tastes ripe and full of flavor, cooking with these ingredients makes for amazing meals, the Italians are onto something and old world technique will survive in Italy as long as they continue to keep their traditions in the fields and in the kitchens. One rule if its not in season, you won't find it at the market!<br />
<br />
So anyway I suppose you would like to learn how to make some marinara as well. But I do want to describe my inspiration on this, the sauce we buy in the store is NOT like the sauce in Italy. The marinara in Italy is fresh, slightly watery, and full of flavor! The sauce here is tasty, but too "tomato pasty" flavored and the sauce is usually thick and overbearing. My sauce inspired by the sauce I had in Italy is as close as I could get to recreating the unique flavors and consistency I experienced eating real marinara in Italy. Deliciouso!!!<br />

1) Add light coat of olive oil to a sauce pan at medium high, lay halved tomatoes face down to saute for about 10 mins. Traditional Italiano style is to de-seed them and de-skin them, but I personally like the seeds, its up to you how you want your sauce. If you are going to de-skin them you will need to blanch them for 5 mins in boiling water and remove by peeling off. To de-seed, scoop out with finger once its cut in half.</div>
<div>
2) Reduce to medium heat and add wine, start smashing tomatoes when they start heating up, so they are cooking in their own juices and the wine. Continue mashing throughout the process. </div>

These calzone shaped mini pastries are great with a hearty side salad or by themselves and are quite filling. The great thing about these pastries are they are extremely versatile, if your making them for breakfast you can use bacon eggs and cheese, you make a bunch at once and freeze them for "healthy hot pockets," and this is also a fun "party dish" to allow your guests to create their own unique combinations. Whatever you decide you will love them so much you will want to make them again and again.<br />
<br />
Options for my guests were:<br />
<br />
-steamed brussel sprouts<br />
<br />
-broccoli, sauted onions and peppers,<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-<a href="http://trulyoriginalorganics.blogspot.com/2012/08/marinara.html?utm_source=BP_recent">marinara</a><br />
<br />
-feta, cheddar and mozzarella cheese<br />
<br />
-cooked chicken sausage<br />
<br />
<div>
Ps they are a huge hit with the kiddos, especially if they get to choose the fillings and be a part of the process.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Directions for making Crust and Savory Pockets:</span></div>
<div>
1) Crust is a tricky one, butter must be cold!!! Mash cold butter with pastry tool into flour and get as small a possible. Add salt.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
2) Slowly mix in water until sticking, kneed together, the right consistency will be sticking without falling apart.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3) Roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thick and create 4-6 inch circles. Cut these in half and put aside.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4) Fill with ingredientts, and cut away edges create semi circle shape.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
5) Use fork to stick edges together and place on floured cookie sheet to bake.<br />
