Kid's Yoga & Parent's Time Out



My son in meditation
I journeyed to Chicago, and attended some YogaKids workshops.  Since then I'd like to share what I learned w/ our youth.  I am offering two different opportunities.  I have included a brief description below.

The first is a child friendly yoga practice for kiddos only.  Young practitioners will be able to interact & enjoy laughter while learning yoga poses through stories, with flash cards, and with beanie babies.

The second is a "Parent's Time Out".  These will be held on a Friday night.  Parent can drop off their kiddos to enjoy story time, a child friend yoga practice, games and a healthy snack.  This allows enough time for parents to enjoy time together, enjoy quiet time alone, or get some errands done while knowing your kids are well taken care of.

Beet Burgers!

  • 4 fresh medium beets
  • mozzarella-optional
  • 8 burger buns-optional
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 sprigs fresh basil, chopped-I used fresh parsely since I didn't have basil
  • ½-1  medium onion, chopped
  • garlic cloves to taste
  • olive oil
  • organic whole wheat flour-enough to bind, about 1/4 cup.-Next time I am using almond flour
  • ground black pepper, to taste
  • salt to taste


  •  Directions
    1. Trim beet tops and root. Shred beets in food processor; transfer to bowl. Add basil, onions, garlic, eggs, salt and pepper; mix.
    2. Mix in just enough flour to make mixture stick together.
    3. Form mixture into 4-inch patties about 1/ 2-inch thick. (Don’t make too thick or centers won’t cook well.)
    4. Heat olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Fry patties 2-3 minutes on one side, until crispy. Turn, place mozzarella slice on top and fry 2- 3 minutes more, until crispy.
    5.  Serve immediately. I cooked mine the night before for lunch.  I knew it wouldn't be as fresh, but it was still darn good!  I ate mine w/ wild brown rice & non-gmo soybeans, Mmmmmm!
     
    I also kept the beet "meat" in the fridge through the week and only made the burgers when I wanted a couple at a time.  It's the way to go when you live w/ a family of meat eaters.  Enjoy!
    Share your modifications!
