As there was quite a bit of interest in my post from last week about commercial bread, I decided to re-post the recipe for the ancient grain bread. The bread is simple and fast to prepare. The list of ingredients looks overwhelming initially but once you figure it out, it really takes only about 15-20 minutes. Usually I mix the dried ingredients for two loaves at the same time. However, I will only bake one loaf and keep the ingredients for the 2nd one in the fridge. This cuts the prep time for every second loaf at least by half.
Anyone having challenges digesting oats (even gluten free ones) can replace them with Quinoa flakes. With some creativity you can also change the recipe into a dried fruit, seed and nut loaf. Have fun and enjoy.
This is the best bread ever because it is packed with nutrition, extremely fast and easy to prepare and does NOT contain any flowers or gluten. It has become a staple in our life. Try it and spread the wealth of health.
Makes one loaf, or about 10 slices.

Another one of my favorite recipes, packed with valuable nutrition that is easily absorbed. As always be creative and adjust the recipe to your individual needs and favourite flavours. Great snack to bring to a pot luck which is guaranteed to be enjoyed by all regardless of age.
Ingredients:
1 part (cup) raw chia seeds
2 parts (cups) high quality water, high quality juice or my preference, 1cup water and 1 cup juice
Chopped fresh or frozen fruits (apples, pears, mangoes, berries, etc.) – adjust type variety of fruit and amount to personal preference; I add lots
Optional: seeds, raisins, nuts, goji berries etc.
Instructions:
Soak all seeds, raisins, goji berries and nuts for about 2 hours (not necessary but preferable for enhanced absorption of nutrients).
Mix all ingredients in large bowl.
Chill in fridge, freezer or right now in the snowy winter wonderland.
The mixture will jell by itself because Chia seeds can absorb an incredible amount of liquid.
Serve and enjoy
The Latin name for Chia is Salvia hispanica, a flowering plant that is native to central and southern Mexico and Guatemala. It is a flowering plant that belongs to the mint family (Laminaceae). It is rich in calcium, manganese, phosphorus and a great source of healthy omega-3 fats and protein. Check the internet for a more complete description.
