Guys, this recipe for Kefir is seriously easy and very delicious! Don’t let the long description scare you off. I just like to give as much information as possible regarding the process and provide some know-how regarding the peculiarities to turn this to a success for you. Kefir is a very powerful antioxidant! I make two different types of Kefir at home. One requires the usage of kefir grains, which is ideal for raw milk kefir. The other (this recipe, to be exact) only needs a kefir starter and milk. Unlike the first version, the latter is not as sour and can be used in wide array of foods. To make it a little more beneficial I also add a capsule of essential probiotics for improving your gut health and moving your bowel along. Now, isn’t that neat :D

How to care for your lips naturally

Breakfast Oats Soaked in Kefir
There are many different ways for using oats in our daily lives. But one of the favorites, of course, is to utilize oats for our breakfast needs. I usually just add milk, cook oats in low heat, add butter and a little brown sugar. That’s the way my kids always enjoyed their “kasha” (porridge). While I knew I could add berries and a lot of other ingredients, what I didn’t know that I could also enjoy oats cold and soaked in plain Yogurt or in Kefir. During our trip to Jordan, I learned this nifty recipe from Nasim’s sister. This recipe includes array of ingredients like nuts, raisins, shredded coconut threads and honey to make this dish one fulfilling breakfast. If it passed my husband’s test, I can say that any oat lover will enjoy it. Not to mention that if you have all the necessary ingredients, you can toss this recipe together in less than 5 minutes.

The challenge also allowed me to look at food as a fuel and also taught me to work with limited options. I still love cooking and baking, which sometimes take hours in the kitchen! But I am glad to know that I can whip something up in a jiffy when I am really tight on time.
