Sushi Time!

So, I was going to post this delicious oatmeal french toast recipe that I made this morning, but it didn't really work out. Don't get me wrong, it was really good (Mom thought so too), but it ended up being more of a baked pudding(isn) thing. 

So, to redeem myself :) I made sushi this afternoon!!

It is once again...SUSHI TIME!!!!! I've been thinking about making sushi again for a while, and today was the perfect day because we didn't have school. It only took me 1 1/2 hours this time instead of 3! 

I've also been researching more about seaweed and how amazingly good it is for you. Benefits of seaweed include:
  • High in essential amino acids-good source of protein.
  • Contains Vitamins A, B12, and C
  • Rich in potassium, iron, calcium, iodine, and magnesium.
  • Contains no fat.
  • Good source of fiber.
  • Can be used instead of salt to reduce sodium intake.
  • Balances blood sugar.
  • Digestive aid-high fiber content creates "bulk" creating bowel movements to eliminate waste (this is an important one for me) :)
This is just a quick summary of seaweed's benefits, but I must say, that is a pretty good lookin' list. I reckon it's a superfood!! 

 I've become slightly obsessed with it and love to experiment with it. I've found that cutting Nori into strips, brushing them with coconut oil and salt, and then toasting them in the oven is my favorite!

NORI CHIPS!!

It's quite obvious I think, but I also love eating it in the form of SUSHI!









Hope you have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day (I know I certainly am!)
