Ingredients:
1 organic orange
½ cup of non-fat organic milk
2 tbsp poppy seeds
1 organic egg
¼ cup organic canola oil
1 ½ cups plain organic flour
1/4 cup agave nectar
1 tsp organic baking powder
1 tsp organic baking soda
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a small bowl, soak 2 tbsp poppy seeds in ½ cup of organic milk and let it stand for about 20 minutes.

Cut the organic orange into 8 pieces and remove any seeds. Place the whole organic orange (including skin), the organic milk with poppy seeds, the organic egg and organic canola oil in a blender and blend until smooth.

In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add the wet mix to the dry and stir carefully until just mixed.

Fill mixture into muffin tins and bake for about 15 – 20 minutes. Check regularly to ensure you don’t burn them.

Enjoy for breakfast or with a nice cup of organic coffee or tea in the afternoon.

3 organic egg whites
¾ cup fine organic sugar
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 ½ cups no-free organic whipped cream
1 cup sliced, fresh organic strawberries

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 250F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Take a 9-inch plate and place upside down on the parchment paper, then draw an outline of that plate (to make a nice even round shape).

Place organic egg whites in a bowl and beat eggs until very foamy using an electric mixer. Add cream of tartar to the organic egg whites then continue mixing on medium speed until peaks start to form. Slowly add organic sugar a little bit at a time and beating on high between each addition. Keep mixing until egg whites are stiff. Carefully spoon the meringue mixture onto the parchment paper, following the outline to shape into a circle. Flatten the center of the meringue a little bit so that the edges are slightly higher.

Gently place in the oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. Switch off oven and allow meringue to dry (in oven). This may take about 2 hours. Finally, remove from oven and allow to cool. Once meringue is cool, spread the organic no-free whipped cream over it and top with sliced organic strawberries. Serve immediately.

A light and delicious ending to a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner.
