I just fresh picked rhubarb! Time to make dessert!

In a bowl mix together:

• ½ cup of Spelt flour (i get splet grains and grind fresh)
• 2 cups of Oats
• ½ tsp Sea Salt
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• Cut in ¾ cup of Butter to the flour mix
• Place 2 cups of blueberries and 4 cups of chopped fresh rhubarb plus 11/4 cup of maple syrup or sweetener in a 9×13 pan
• Top with flour mixture

Bake at 375 for 30 min or till golden brown
Top with my Homemade Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream in Recipies

Pizza Seasoning

• 2 tbs of dried basil ( I dried my basil from garden and than blended it to powder)
• 2 tbs of dried thyme (same)
• 2 tbs of dried rosemary (same)
• 2 tbs of onion powder
• 2 tbs of garlic powder
• 1 tbs sea salt
• 2 tbs ground oregano

When you make it yourself, seasoning is full of anti-oxidants and immune boosting spices without preservatives or other added ingredients for flavor or coloring. This is not the case when you buy it in a store. Pre-packaged seasonings often contain completely unnecessary ingredients, some of which can be harmful to your health.

Cold Season is coming- Be prepared with this great herbal remedy!Immune Boosting Ticture- Order- Bulk Herb StoreDirections:Alcohol tinctures (extracts) are easy to make. Fill a glass jar 1/3 – 1/2 full of the premixed herbs (1/2 full of herbs makes a stronger brew), and top off the jar to within about 1/2 inch from the top with rum or vodka. Cap the jar and set it in a dark, cool place for about 3 weeks (shake mixture daily). Then, strain off and discard herbs saving the liquid herbal tincture in glass containers that are clearly labeled and capped.
As adults, we take 1/2 – 1 teaspoon (30 – 60 drops or so) every hour at the first sign of a cold or flu (any infection) until the symptoms disappear. We use less for children. Alcohol, glycerine or a mixture of the two is a good investment for a year’s supply of immune defense.
Safe for children and pregnant mothers.

It is hard to afford eating organic as well as where we live the stores are very limited and expensive! Here is the source of which I get all my food that I don’t make homemade. I also order seeds and plants from them in the spring for gardening!
