Weekend Cooking - Hairstyle Cupcakes and Warm Raw Chocolate Hemp Chia Porridge

dry mix, 1/4 cup

Breakfast has often been a big challenge for me.  I want something tasty, but that will stick with me till lunch time.  I don't want to be sneaking an unhealthy snack.  Recently I found the perfect recipe, "Warm Raw Chocolate Hemp Chia Porridge".  I found it on the Manitoba Harvest website, gotta love hemp hearts.  This recipe was developed by domesticdiva.ca.

For a copy of the bulk recipe, follow the Manitoba Harvest link, makes approximately 14 servings.  For a single serving recipe, follow the Domestic Diva link.  I used carob powder instead of cocoa powder , and didn't add the stevia.  Instead, I served with a teaspoon of real maple syrup and a dollop of soy yogurt.

 

Now for the fun.  My son has a very good relationship with his hairstylist, he's more like a family friend.  When son told me that it was Aaron's birthday, I thought it would be fun to bake cupcakes and decorate them in hairstyles. Aaron's salon is Precision Hair Gallery in Waterloo, Ontario.  What a blast, three of us had a wonderful creative morning.  Fortunately I remembered to take photos to share.  Each hair style has a name, which we had to explain to Aaron before he would accept them.
