I grew up where Asian rice dishes with meat and fish sauce were offered up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I remember my mom made savory congee and rice soup every weekend morning. The simple menu that my mom always has in the house is rice soup or congee. She served it with fresh egg on the bottom of the bowl then poured hot boiled congee on top, dashed with some soy sauce, then seasoned with green onion, ginger, and white pepper. This is absolutely delicious. I used oatmeal instead of rice because I am sure that most of the household in the US. have some oatmeal available in your pantry. It is super easy to make because you can cook them while you sleep in on the weekend. Then when you wake up, you have a comfy congee soup bowl ready for you. This thick oatmeal congee stew with soft boiled egg is a warm comfy bowl with a rich texture from the oatmeal that has been cooking down overnight in the slow cooker and with an extra silky wonderful feeling from soft boiled egg. The soy sauce, ginger, white pepper, and green onion add the perfect elements to your morning. Thank you for stopping by and reading my article, Natty

Stirrings Simply Better Cocktail Mixers are made with All-Natural ingredients, fruit juices, pure cane sugar and no preservatives. The blood orange bitters used for the “Fizz The Season” cocktail are made with a hint of exotic ingredients derived from roots, herbs, and fruits which have a refreshing and sweet taste. **This post was created in partnership with Stirrings Simply Better Cocktails, who sponsored me by providing the Stirring’s ingredients. Thank you so much to all of my readers for supporting Natty’s Pantry! And BIG thanks to all of my awesome sponsors who help make my posts possible. As always, thank you for visiting my site and reading my article, Natty December is one of my favorite months of the year. I usually find myself in the kitchen baking holiday cookies to send out to friends and family to say how I appreciate them all for their support throughout the year. I love to make icebox cookies, peppermint cookies, wedding tea cookies, and all kinds that you can imagine to see during Christmas time. I am rotating each year to bake all of those cookies to send out. One type of the cookies that always maintain in my holiday cookies box is the Meringue!
Meringue is simple and easy to make using only 4 ingredients. You can also mix and match with all different flavors, spices, sprinkles, and dry fruit to make them special and to fit into any occasion. For this year I would like to make the meringue as the christmas tree shape, with those christmas holiday sprinkles adding it on to make it cute and whimsical. These little meringues are very festive for the holiday season! This Holiday Peppermint Christmas Tree Meringue Cookies recipe produces light, airy, delicious, and sweet with a slight crispy exterior that melts in your mouth meringues. They are shaped into Christmas trees then decorated with stars and pearl sprinkles to resemble a festive Christmas trees. Notes for this recipe: Making a meringue is all about the volume. *You have to make sure you clean out all of your equipment to ensure there is absolutely no grease! Otherwise, you won't have the tall peaks and glossy meringue that you want. I cleaned out my bowl with lemon or lime then wipe it with a paper towel before I started to put the egg whites in. **Make sure your egg white is completely free from egg yolk as ANY yolk will not allow your meringue to reach its maximum height ***Cream of tartar is what helps create the pure white color in these meringues. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! As always, thank you for visiting my site and reading my article, Natty If I had to choose only one treat per day for the rest of my life, it would be chocolate. That is why I am in love with this Ultimate Vegan Chocolate Banana and Peanut Powder Smoothie Bowl!
It is creamy, nutty, sweet, healthy, and it taste delicious. And I don’t have to remove chocolate out of my diet. I am eating it in moderation and choose the healthiest way for my diet. This recipe uses cocoa powder and peanut powder which both contain less calories. With the right optimum foods, your morning smoothie bowl can give you an extra boost throughout your day. Such as:
For additional creaminess & fun, top with nutella. Or some more fun munching are the coconut fig superfood squares, and an extra crunchy such as dark chocolate coconut chunks. As always, thank you for visiting my site and reading my article, Natty |

Those are the risks. That's the burden.Like wings, they have weight, we feel that weight on our backs, but they are a burden that lifts us. Burdens which allow us" Bones Don't wait for the perfect moment,take the moment and make it perfect. - Zoey Sayward- Archives
