Free Scoby Kombucha Babies!

I and my husband have been brewing this wonderful tea for about 6 months and in that time have grown A LOT of extra scoby babies. We realized we had too many and started to throw them away, but were too guilty to do it. They are like sweet little life giving pets and we just couldn't do it! They almost seem to have their own little personality and decided that they were too good for the trash can, SO we decided to offer them here for free. All we ask is that you pay for shipping! It wouldn' t feel right not to add that my original scoby was purchased from another wonderful etsien (kombuchick http://www.etsy.com/shop/Kombuchick ) who also offers her scoby's for free.  I believe that this is a wonderful tradition that should be passed along and it would be wonderful to see people sharing this beautiful healthy brew with as many people as possible.

Please visit this site or do your own search to find the many many many benefits of drinking this wonderful health tonic!

"Why drink Kombucha Tea?

* Drinking Kombucha promotes good health and helps millions of people with its excellent detoxifying and immune-enhancing
qualities. There are no known negative reactions from drinking kombu tea, except for improper brewing methods.

Its origins are lost in history, but in the earliest records two thousand years ago it was known as ‘the elixir of long life’.

* Kombucha is not just a health tonic; it is a complete therapy.

* Kombucha has proved itself to be a quite remarkable therapeutic drink, made from sweetened tea into which a Kombucha
culture (a symbiosis of bacteria and yeasts) is placed. It can taste similar to apple cider or a refreshing light wine, depending
on the fermentation time and type of tea used.

* There are at least six million Kombucha brewers world-wide.

* Doctors, consultants, and practitioners are now recommending Kombucha to their patients."

MOnday Munchies (a little late :) Portobella Burgers

THIS sandwich/burger is to DIE for!!!!
I am not a huge fan of cooked mushroom anything, but I thought I would try it out on myself and the family... needless to say, it was awesome! I had it on a whole wheat organic bun with tomato, mixed greens, a little ketchup, and slices of avacado) It was so good that my one year old actually took it out of her bread and ate it by itself and didnt even eat the bread...(and she LOVES bread!) I will be making this again tomorrow because I have lots of leftover ingredients, AND because I already want it again :) Thought I would share this keeper with the world! YUUUM!

½ cup ground flax seed
¼ cup hemp seeds
2 Tbsp fresh-chopped parsley
½ tsp fresh chopped thyme ( I use about a tsp of dried when I cant get fresh)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1½ Tbsp braggs aminos
2 cloves minced garlic garlic
½ tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp stone ground mustard
¼ cup chopped walnut pieces
2 medium portobello mushrooms chopped into bite size pieces


In a food processor:
Add flax, hemp, parsley, thyme, oil, braggs, garlic, black pepper, and mustard and process until well blended.  stop and add in the walnuts and mushrooms. (make sure that they are already well chopped before hand or you will end up chopping them into oblivion in the processor... the idea is to keep the nuts and mushrooms in the mix a little chunky for texture..) Pulse a few times in the processor and then mix with a spoon for good measure.   Scrape mix into a bowl.   Take about 3 tablespoons (more or less for size preference) and roll into a ball, and flatten on a heated skillet to make a patty.  Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side till lightly browned and heated all the way through.  patties will never fully solidify on the inside but the creamy texture is DELICIOUS none the less!  serve on a toasted whole wheat bun spread with mayo of your choice, tomatoes, mixed greens, and a few slices of avocado.  I also add about a teaspoon of ketchup :)

Enjoy!
