A great non-edible recipe for “Deer food” from Allysun the Uhmayzing

(A great non-edible recipe)

Christmas is Practically here! Have you done all your shopping? Wrapped all your gifts? Decked the halls? Dressed the tree? Christmas cards? 

At my house this year we did it all and did it early! All my gifts are wrapped, ouse is nearly completely decorated, we hand made gifts this year, something I have personally wanted to do for YEARS! But I never seemed to find the time, so for that, I’m proud! Luna is five this year and I think I finally got it down! 

Luna’s dad has a coworker that dresses as Santa and makes house calls and the last three years he has come to the house to personally visit Luna and bring her a gift. She hasn’t always been the biggest fan of Santa but last year she warmed up and this year she’s excited about her visit. 

I remember as a child asking my mom for proof that Santa existed so that I could take the proof to school and show my not-so-convinced friends. My mother went to great lengths to help me prove it: everything from boot prints on the fireplace to hand-written notes in glitter pens…all to keep that dream alive for me.  To this day I love it! I’m a big fan of Santa and the spirit that he brings, so I have handed down the tradition to my daughter.  Now she can tell the doubtful that she knows him personally and he shows up to her house. 

One of my absolute favorite traditions of all time is of course is baking Santa’s cookies! Everybody bakes them and leaves them out with milk for Santa BUT everyone forgets the hardest working team on the planet! The reindeer! 

This was another one of my mom’s fantastic holiday traditions on which I look back fondly: on Christmas Eve, right before bed, we would make our Reindeer food and spread it out all over the lawn in our footie pajamas.  My sister and I would be sure to cover every inch of the lawn and this year I think Luna is old enough to start this tradition! 

My moms recipe for reindeer food is as follows:  (please folks don’t try to taste: this is non-edible for us humans)

4 cups oats 

½ cup glitter

1 cup shredded carrot

1 cup small diced apple 

1 cup sugar 

½ cup sprinkles of your choice 

Mix until evenly blended 

Then put on your footy pajamas 

Go outside and liberally spread on your lawn or drive way or throw it on your roof, where ever you suspect the reindeer might land.                                                                                                    

I hope that you make this and share this tradition with the littles in your life, I think time spent together and traditions that are remembered are the best gifts to give.
                                                                                                                               

I wish you a happy holiday and a fabulous NEW year!

Allysun The Uhmayzing, owner of “Madam Confection” writes the first article of her bi-weekly food column.  This week’s visit takes us to: The Early Bird Cafe, a family-owned and operated restaurant.

Please welcome Allysun with your positive comments!

Editor’s note: Our article last week was supposed to highlight this most amazing artist and pastry chef. Unfortunately we fell short of our editorial standards: in the article, we referenced non-existent pictures and gave the impression, by omitting such pictures, that we were representing Allysun and her family in a laughable manner. I take full responsibility for the gaffe, and offer my apologies to Allysun, her family and our readers. Below is the picture we should have run: it is of a four year-old Allysun baking with her grandfather.

Now, I can only say that I hope our readers will enjoy the first of a bi-weekly column from one of the truly most “Uhmayzing” people I’ve ever met: Allysun The Uhmayzing. Take it away Al…

Each family member plays an integral role at The Early Bird: they play to their strengths. Elbia is the accountant, dealing with finances and scheduling, her husband Joe who, in the 5 minutes we met while he was delivering ingredients to the kitchen, did a stand-up comedy routine! He wants the world to know that Early Bird Cafe is,”The BEST thing to happen to this valley!” 

The pride that they all take in their establishment shows.

Azcune is the younger sister by 18 years and lovingly refers to her older sister Elbia as her “sister/mom.” she runs social media and provides warm service at the diner. 

The challenges of working with family are worth the rewards of being free and being your own boss. This family has an entrepreneurial spirit and works hard together despite the challenges of continuing to provide hand-made food, cooked with love that you can taste. Their dad opened his restaurant when Azcune was five, and she is proud to be continuing that legacy.

“We make a great team, we treat our employees like family and our customers over the years have become like family, We are a Christian Restaurant and the public receives it well: they like that we are open with our faith,” says Azcune.

They are all Christians: “John 3:16” is displayed on their front door and on the back of their shirts. Elbia explained that it was after the passing of her mother she felt lost and was seeking comfort. She says she found it in this verse, that it helped her cope with her loss, and that it also is what inspired her to stencil it on the door and on the shirts of her staff. She also said that she, “…respects everyone and their values,” and doesn’t, “…push my beliefs on anyone.” 

They are known for their bread pudding, baked fresh daily, and they also have a large menu with something for everyone. The entire family pride themselves on cooking from scratch, using fresh ingredients, made to order. The first time I ate here, I was immediately impressed and the difference is palatable. I had the Eggs Benedict and it was excellently prepared, the portion was generous and my entire breakfast was under 12.00!
