Ingredients
2.5 cups of old-fashion oats
1/3 cup currants
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
4 tbsp whole flax seeds
4 cups almond milk
1 cup water
1/2 chopped walnuts
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup pumpkin pureé (not pie filling)

Directions

In a medium sauce pan, mix together water, pumpkin pureé, and almond milk. Bring to a boil.
In separate bowl combine oats, currants, spices, flax seeds, walnuts, and salt together.
Once liquid is boiling add dry ingredients and stir. Lower temp to medium/low and simmer & stir for 5-10 minutes until mixture thickens.
Remove from heat, add preferred sweetener, and enjoy!

Makes 8 - 3/4 cup servings.
Variations: For a more robust flavor you can toast the oats, walnuts, and flax seeds before adding to liquid. Make sure to do them separately so they don't burn.

Low Sodium Tortillas

Sodium for the recipe.

Vs. Sodium in Store Bought Tortillas

Made street taco size tortillas for dinner tonight. These little non-circular weirdos only have 9.4 mg of sodium compared to the 205 mg for store bought. This is why I love making homemade essentials.
#taconight

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
3 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 hot water
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Makes 16 little weirdos

Instructions:
I just mixed it all in a bowl (or you can use a kitchenaid with a dough hook), kneaded about 1-2 minutes until it forms a dough, then divided them into 16 little dough balls. Rolled them out and then placed on a pan (medium heat) until they started to bubble a little and then flipped. Kept them warm in a towel until I had them all done. I think the only thing that took a while was the rolling out. But since they are small you could use a tortilla press if you have one.
