Yurt Cooking 101!

One of Rivyr's specialties in the kitchen is sauteed onions. Grandpa calls them "worms". Yummy! Today he seasoned them with Spirulina and Celtic Sea Salt in a base of Coconut Oil. We also like to add Creole seasonings for the older of us. It's a bit much for the little ones! We all craved Onions today after spending the morning sledding on the snow hill grandpa made for us!
Notice Rivyr's safety glasses!!! ;) He says they help with the eye-cleaning, sting of the onion aroma when it's first cut open! I tell you those homeschool nerds in their helmets and safety glasses! Before you know it he'll be reading the dictionary for entertainment! Just like Uncle Sky!! Ha!Ha!

Do you know the Muffin Girl? She lives in our yurt!

Little Llyonesse is quite the muffin baker! She loves to cook and really enjoys giving her creations to her little princess friends. We thought we'd share with you our favorite recipe in case you'd like to try it!

Vanilla Moon Muffins(We call them Moon because as they rise it's like a full moon!)
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. milk
1/3 c. oil
1/2 c. sugar(honey, sucanat, etc)
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. flour
1/2-1 c. shredded coconut
1 c. raisins
Mix liquids together. Andronicus really likes this part! Add dry ingredients and stir in coconut for moistness and raisins. Cook in mini loaf, mini muffin, muffin, little heart pans, whatever your family enjoys! 400* for 15-25 minutes depending on the pan.

Yummy!!! We're to the point that we have to make at least a double batch now! These freeze really well, too!! Enjoy!
