Hello Again!

Hi everyone! I thought I would write this quick post just to let you know that I plan to start writing this blog again every so often. I have been out of the habit for far too long, and have been missing blogging!

God bless

Hatching Chicks

Over the past couple of months we have been in the process of hatching chicks. We were all very excited four weeks ago today because they hatched! We had two mums nd about twenty eggs, and fifteen of them arrived but only thirteen survived. They got their first runabout on the grass last week, and now they are raring to get out each afternoon! We think only four of them are cockerels but we aren't sure yet. Here they are at night:


Two of them are white, and the rest are black and orange. We kept them separate from the rest of the flock until they were about two weeks old, then let them in with the others. There was some fighting, but they have now settled in well.

Worship Song

This is one of my favourite worship tunes ever! I hope you enjoy it. I have decided that I am going to post slightly shorter posts than I have up until now, as I don't have a huge amount of spare time at the moment. I will be posting more, though!!!

No-Sugar Healthy Granola (Genesis 1:29)

'Then God said, ‘I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.' Genesis 1:29 (NIVUK)

I thought I would share this recipe with you, which we use quite often for breakfast. Enjoy!

NO-SUGAR HEALTHY GRANOLA

Ingredients
  • 6 cups Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 2/3 cup Clear Honey
  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2/3 cup Pumpkin Seeds
  • 1 cup Raisins/Sultanas                

Method    

  1. Mix together the oats, salt, and spices in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Preheat the oven to 300°F, 150°C, or Gas Mark 2.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl, and carefully add this mixture to the dry ingredients.
  4. Stir in the pumpkin seeds, and put in a large shallow baking tray.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes to an hour, stirring every ten minutes to break up chunks.
  6. When the granola looks golden-brown all over, remove from the oven and pour into a large plastic storage box with their off to cool.
  7. Once cooled, stir in the raisins/sultanas.
  8. Enjoy!!!

We usually store our granola in  tall sealed plastic tubs. You can also freeze it in sealed tubs with plenty of space.
