Swamp Witch Energy Drink

Not everything about the swamp witch has to be gloomy and doomy - she has to get her energy up too. And sometimes she gets her energy up with this exact drink. Who else is going to fly down and pick up trick-or-treaters on their special day?

(Swamp Witch Energy Drink Ingredients)

• Combine and Chill!
• 1 part Lemon Juice
• 1/2 part Apple Cider Vinegar (organic, with mother)
• 2 parts Soda (or regular) Water
• 1 tbl Chlorophyll
• 1-2 tbl Agave Nectar (optional)

(Directions)

• Combine ingredients and Serve with ice!
• Enjoy!

The chlorophyll provides salt and the rest of the ingredients are supposed to add sugar and a sort of "zing!" to the drink.

Princess Mononoke Bento

I wanted to make this bento very simple as my bentos are (mostly) already natural. I used some leftover black bean chili that I had for last night's dinner and a bit of white rice with some vegetables (I also had a seperate veggie platter). The "H" is made out of a nori and it stands for both Hime (princess) and Hayao Miyazaki. The recipe is a bit different than what I did because I just mixed corn meal (sub rice flour) with chili.

Black Bean Burger Recipe:
1/4 cup of Cooked Black Beans + Juice
1 Jumbo Garlic Clove (minced and cooked)
1/4 Small Onion (minced and cooked)
1/2 Green Bell Pepper (minced)
Cumin, pepper, salt and chili powder to taste
Cornstarch or other thickener mixed + water (depending on your allergies)
Corn Meal or Rice flour (enough to make a paste)

Mix the ingredients together until they create a paste and then lightly oil or spray your cooking pan. Place the mixture in the pan and then cover it with a top until the bottom has cooked, flip it and then repeat until it has cooked to your liking. Add it on top of rice colored with chlorophyll and brocolli then create your kodama onigiri.

Enjoy!
