Berry Coconut Crisp

I went and picked some fresh blackberries today and had some blueberry's in the fridge. I told myself I wouldn't make this, but I couldn't resist! It turned out amazing. Please enjoy this recipe and feel free to share with me via email any special recipes you may have!


5 cups fresh berries, I used 3 cups black and 2 cups blue
2 Tablespoons RAW sugar
(Mix these two ingredients and place in the bottom of baking dish)

In a bowl, combine
1/2 cups Oats
1/4 cup Rice Flour or Oat Flour or regular
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 cup coconut shavings
4 tablespoons butter or butter substitute

Mix these ingredients together and cut butter in last. When mixture is course, add to the top of berries evenly.

Bake @ 375 for 30 minutes. Allow to cool and serve with Vanilla ice cream or topped with whipping cream.

This is my very own creation. I must say its amazing, my husband LOVES it.

Blessings,

Dani

DIY Fluoride Free Toothpaste

Very excited to try this home made toothpaste. It is Fluoride free, in case if some of you are wondering why I am excited about my toothpaste not having fluoride... its simply because it's poisonous. Some of the toothpastes actually have a Poison warning on the actual label. Which is why, you are supposed to spit out as much as possibly while brushing. I know it is such a small amount ingested but, if its capable of causing death in kids and adults if ingested in high amounts, I want to avoid it if I can. It's definitely something worth looking into for your family.
With having little ones around my house, they actually swallow quite a bit while brushing. So I found this recipe, and I am so excited to try it. It has great reviews. 

Blessings, 
Dani
