Reflexology Charts.

I added some AWESOME Reflexology Foot and Hand chart widgets to the bottom of this webpage.  I would LOVE to blog the widgets themselves, but they are SO BIG that they ruin the look of the blog. lol

Check them out! They are VERY cool! :)

UPDATE:
I found a foot and hand chart from the same people who made the widgets. Nice! These give a good idea of what to do for what.


This chart shows you what Young Living Essential Oils to uses.

Overnight Gluten Free Belgian Waffle Recipe
Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups milk or your favorite milk substitute

When milk and butter are lukewarm (105°), add dry yeast and sugar to the milk and let sit until the yeast is bubbly, about 5 minutes. Pour the liquid into a large container with a tight fitting lid. (I use a 1 gallon pitcher). Add the salt and GF flour mix and stir with a whisk until the batter is smooth. Cover tightly and keep at room temperature overnight (don't refrigerate). When you are ready to cook the waffles, preheat waffle griddle, stir in the beaten eggs, baking soda and vanilla. Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter on the griddle (or enough to cover the surface) and bake until golden. Store unused batter in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Gluten-Free Sorghum Waffles (and pancakes)
Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sorghum flour or Ancient Grains Flour Blend 
  • 1 cup King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour or brown rice flour blend* 
  • 2 tablespoons whole flax meal
  • 2 tablespoons sugar 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil 
  • 2 large eggs 
  • 1 1/2 cups room-temperature buttermilk (about 70°F)
Instructions: In a large bowl whisk together the flours, flax meal, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter or oil, eggs, and buttermilk. Whisk the buttermilk/egg mixture into the dry ingredients until well combined; a few lumps are fine. Let the batter sit for about 15 minutes to thicken slightly while heating your waffle iron or griddle. Rub a small amount of vegetable oil on the waffle iron or griddle, or spray with non-stick baking spray. To keep the cakes gluten free, be sure the spray doesn't contain flour Bake waffles as directed on your waffle maker. To make pancakes, scoop the batter onto the hot surface to the desired size, about 4" to 5"; a ¼-cup muffin scoop works well here. Allow the pancakes to cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Watch for bubbles on the surface of the pancake; when bubbles start to rise to the surface at the center of the pancake, flip it over. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until nicely browned. 
Serve waffles or pancakes with butter and maple syrup. 
Yield: 6 to 8 waffles, or 14 to 15 pancakes.

Have any recipes for gluten free waffles? Post them blow. Would love to try them! :)
