Soak 2 Cups Oat Grouts in Water overnight

In the morning,

drain the water
measure in 2 C orange juice (or 1C oj 1C water)
and bring to a slow boil. 

While waiting for the oat groats to boil, grate 1 orange, then slice and eat the orange, yum!

After the oat grouts have become soft, add about a cup of frozen blueberries ( or more if you really like them!) and the orange zest.

Let bubble a bit more for a minute or two til the liquid begins to look creamy, then serve.

This serves 4, with plenty for tomorrow!

Thank you Harmony Art Mom!

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Emilda is an 18 year-old Compassion International sponsored child living in a squatter community in the Philippines.  She has the mental capacity of a three year-old. 

And she’s fast!

Emilda competed in the Philippine Special Olympics in 2009 and did well enough to qualify for the World Special Olympics this summer, in Athens, Greece.



Emilda and her family


There’s a problem though.  Neither Emilda’s parents, nor the Philippine Government has the funds to send Emilda to Athens this summer.  And we would like to help Compassion International to raise the funds to her get there!

  The need is $19,857.  It’s a huge sum of money, but with many working together, poverty will have to release it’s hold and this precious girl can have the adventure of a lifetime!

Donations can be made  here.

and you can read more about Emilda and the Philippine Compassion Project she is a part of here.

Will you join us?
