Homemade elderberry gummy bears Do you remember t

Homemade elderberry gummy bears

Do you remember the elderberry syrup recipe I shared last week? You’re going to want to go ahead and make some so that you can make these wonderfully delicious homemade elderberry gummy bears!

Why make elderberry gummy bears when you can just buy them?

•They are really simple to make. Minimal ingredients and tools necessary. And kids LOVE to help make this fun “candy”.

•You’ll reuse the gummy mold for so many fun projects. Check out my probiotic gummy bear recipe here: https://recipesandrituals.blog/recipes/probiotic-clementine-gummy-bears/

•They are naturally sweet, no artificial flavors, colors, dyes.

•They make taking an immune supporting supplement fun and delicious.

•You can reduce your plastic waste by not ordering them online and having them shipped and then throwing away the packaging when they’re done.

•You can make hundreds for the cost of a one month supply.

I’ll work on getting the recipe on the blog. In the meantime, follow the link to make elderberry syrup so you can make these cute little 🐻 when it’s ready!

Head to the blog post and pin the recipe for later when you’ve gathered your ingredients for elderberry syrup

⋄ Dairy gluten refined sugar free pumpkin cinna

⋄ Dairy gluten refined sugar free pumpkin cinnamon vanilla whoopie pies ⋄

Good morning friend 🌞

We’re baking up some super soft and delicious cookies, and I wanted to share the recipe with you. I wanted to use pumpkin and spice for the cookie flavor because, we’re coming upon pumpkin season! The local market in Tunisia has fresh pumpkin year round, but, this time of year, I start get homesick for new england autumn. The changing colors and drastic change in weather, and I’m especially nostolgic for familiar “fall flavors”. What better way to honor that than with: pumpkin, cinnamon, and vanilla? Packaged up sweetly, in a soft cookie form.

Ingredients
For cookie dough:
1 ½ cups almond flour
2 tsp coconut flour
1 egg or flax egg
⅓ cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup coconut oil
2 tsp pure maple syrup
¼ cup coconut or vanilla bean sugar
1 ½ tbsp pumpkin pie spice
¼ tsp baking soda

For vanilla cinnamon frosting:
3 tbsp coconut butter
1 cup coconut or vanilla bean sugar
1 tbsp almond milk
3 tsp honey
1 tbsp cinnamon

Save this post to refer back to when you have the ingredients.

Want to make a healthy, zero waste superfood snack

Want to make a healthy, zero waste superfood snack for yourself and your family? Look to these all-natural baked sweet potato chips that are dehydrated in the oven, no special equipment necessary! You can use the same method to make other snacks like apple crisps or pear crisps.

It’s very rare that I can find a snack food that comes in compostable or biodegradable packaging that doesn’t have any ingredients that we should avoid for optimal health. Most of the time, store-bought snack foods contain fillers and cheap processed oils to maintain shelf life. We like to keep it as natural and unprocessed as possible around here. But of course, we still want to indulge in chips once in a while! And sure... you could buy a bag of sweet potato chips at the store for a few dollars. But you could make your own easily for far less with no questionable ingredients and while producing zero waste! It’s a total win for us. Make a batch for a healthy snack this week!

Homemade cinnamon apple peel pancake syrup 🌞 F

Homemade cinnamon apple peel pancake syrup 🌞

For the last week, I’ve been working on a special piece of content. I’m creating a post on how to utilize the many apple scraps we end up with this season. We’re lucky enough to have a compost, but I know many people dont.

With buckets of apples and so many recipes that call for peeled apples, what does one do with all of those delicious, nutritious peels? Find ways to use them of course!

I CAN NOT wait to share this post with this homemade cinnamon apple peel pancake syrup. This syrup is so delicious and simple to make.
I’ll know you’ll love it with your Sunday stacks as much as we did this morning.

If you’re peeling apples today for some weekend baking, be sure to reserve your peels and cores (just juice some lemon juice on them, cover and stick them in the fridge) because my post will be finished this evening or tomorrow and you will want to make these recipes! So exited 🥰 logging off to enjoy my littles for the next few hours!

Aren’t these little bears the cutest? Tell me what’s on your agenda! I hope it involves pancakes 🥞

Hey you beautiful soul. I hope you’ve had a love

Hey you beautiful soul. I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend. Admittedly, I’m a little under the weather after catching a cold from my daughter - but in good spirits. This was the best Saturday I’ve had in a while!
The temperature has dropped a lot so we were able to comfortably play in the garden for several hours and do some crafts. After watching #thesocialdilemma last week it just feels so easy to disconnect from the blog and content and just enjoy my family + watch a movie too. I almost never sit through a movie because the inability to relax is real. Have you watched it yet? I’m not deleting my accounts but it sure did change my perspective! I have a lot of apple, pumpkin and elderberry recipes coming atcha. Tis the season! Thanks for reading. Virtual hugs 🤗

Good morning 🌞 Enjoying some fiery tea with Aut

Good morning 🌞
Enjoying some fiery tea with Autumn spices, peppercorns, a hint of cayenne pepper, dried orange and elderberry. Two sick little loves in the house. I’m just doing what I can to feel well.

Each day needs a tea ritual! Switching from individually wrapped tea bags to loose leaf tea packaged in eco-friendly biodegradable or compostable packaging is a beautiful ritual to begin. Did you know that some tea bags release microplastics into your drink? A plastic tea bag can release 11 billion microplastics into hot water. Even paper bags use polypropylene to seal the bag.

Becoming aware of how much waste we can reduce over time by purchasing loose leaf tea is a wonderful way to enjoy our favorite Autumn blends and promote better health of our planet. And I find having a favorite, cozy mug and beautiful teapot encourages me to use it and enjoy a few cups of tea daily, which adds so much to my day. I know this is not possible for everyone, but I find that when I enjoy a cup of chamomile in the evening, as I watch my littles outside swinging is the most reflective and relaxing part of my day. The cooler Autumn air is so freshing and enjoyed as regularly as possible.

We almost always make our own tea blends. My pantry is like a spice, flower, and herb shop where you can find roasted dandelion, endless lavender, my daughters favorite chamomile, dried jasmine, sage, and honestly so much more. Having these dried and preserved on hand enhances our recipes but also makes a perfect tea when combined. This blend is warming and fiery. It makes me feel ready to take on the day and helps my body stay well. And most tea is sold in plastic bags where micro plastics seep in as you steep.

Last year my daughter came home from visiting some

Last year my daughter came home from visiting some friends and family in NY, and brought a green apple scented detangling spray back home with her. It was the same kind I used as a little girl! Familiar neon green plastic bottle, familiar artificial apple scent. I knew I had to make our own that skips the plastic, and one that has no artificial fragrance and ingredients.

This simple diy is a great use of your apple peel scraps and makes mornings brush in your little loves hair a breeze! I don’t know about you but this time of year were always snacking on apples and making apple recipes, so I have an abundance of peels.

Add some hair loving essential oils if you have them. We use cedar-wood, rosemary and lavender and spray them diluted in this spray on our scalp. Grab the recipe here: https://recipesandrituals.blog/all-natural-apple-scented-detangling-hair-spray/

magical spicy tumeric ginger apple cider vinegar p

magical spicy tumeric ginger apple cider vinegar probiotic drink 🌞

If you’ve read my blog before, it’s no secret I love raw apple cider vinegar. Is there anything it can’t do? I use it on my hair, infused with oils to help me clean, and consumed in a fasted state (or right after waking up), ACV is believed to have some incredible health benefits. And this fermented apple componant of our drink contains: amino acid, potassium, maginesium, calcium, beta carotene, acid, enzymes and pectin.

At the moment, I can feel myself becoming more subjected to illness thanks to sending my daughter back to school. But - also the quiet days of staying home with no schedule are long gone. We are back to the full time, crazy in your face schedule - full of activities, meetings, and work obligations. I want to do what I can to stay well.

Antioxidants, probiotics, anti inflammatory properties are loaded in this yummy drink. What a better way to start your day? (aside from the coffee too, ya know?)
