Off to AFRICA

admin — Mon, 16 May 2011 22:59:19 +0000

So, I’m off to Africa again. I can hardly wait. I’m always a little nervous, but each time I get to go, I feel that my whole entire life INCREASES! I find increase in my relationships, my health, at work, finances, joy … in all things!! I believe that there is a way that will make YOUR increase happen without effort … want to know what that is? It’s not by DOing more, but it’s by hearing and walking in the truth.

When we believe a lie, it causes what’s inside of us to be divided and start to die. Here’s how you can know how you’ve been walking … anything that makes you feel bad in the soul (your mind, will and emotions) is the result of you believe something that’s wrong. At the same time, anything that makes you feel GOOD in your soul is the result of something your believing that’s RIGHT! It’s that simple.

When we walk in the truth about our healing, our relationships, and ourselves we become SINLGE MINDED. A divided mind always leads to death and destruction, which is why JOY and DIVISION are never on the same street. So, what have you been believing?

Hi, Im new here.

I had a excellent experience today. It was so awesome that it left me kind of stunned. Meeting people who absolutely love their job and never feel inconvenienced by your business has got to be one of the great pleasures in life. I had to talk to an electrician, who was recommended to me by our builder, about some questions I had. I called him 4 times in 20 minutes and he willingly gave me a boat load of great, and free, advice. Then, he told me to call him AGAIN if I had any more questions. I’m not sure he realized I would … so I did. Then he said to call him again if I had more questions … I didn’t. He had answered all of my questions. Then I walked into the store he told me to go to and pick up some stuff. The young girl at the desk didn’t seem to care that I was in front of her and she didn’t even take her head up off of her hand which was attached to her arm which was attached to her elbow which was leaning on the desk. Contrast.

I actually felt sad for her … to be so off vision for your life that you don’t even have the ability to care. I guess she was subluxated.

Without even thinking about it …

One of our patients said today that she just ran up 13 stairs without her cane … and didn’t ever realize it until afterward! The ONE who made the body heals the body, from Above Down Inside Out!

Almond Banana Chip Muffins (with no grains)

Almond Banana Chip Muffins

At this very moment…our boys are both napping…Jay just left for work…and I’m enjoying a fresh Americano and one of these!! I was planning on doing some reading…but I was so anxious to share this recipe with you ASAP!

Notice a little trend with me lately? Almonds?! Have always loved them…as well as other nuts and seeds. We have just realized they are such a great alternative to many or all grains…we feel great eating them…and we love the taste!

I was a little skeptical whipping these guys up…I kept changing and adding to the recipe as I went along…and was VERY happy with the results! Honestly I expected quite a dense and heavy muffin…but these are so not like that! I realized quickly that this recipe is one that can be added too quite a bit (ex…nuts, seeds, dried fruit) and played around with…and would still turn out amazing!! These were a HUGE hit in our house today for all 4 of us! You can honestly actually HEAR how moist they are when you bite into them…yum!

Case in point…..

Fresh from the oven…

Five minutes after cooling…

Needless to say, they taste amazing! Easily one of the best muffins I’ve ever had.

Our official taste-testers in action!

Almond Banana Chip Muffins

1 c almond butter
1 c almond flour
3 medium brown RIPE bananas (the browner the better…makes them naturally sweet!)
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
3 Tbsp maple syrup…or sweetener of choice (optional)
1/4 c mini chocolate chips (optional)

Mash all ingredients (except chocolate chips) together in one bowl…stir until well combined. Add in chocolate chips.

Pour into muffin tin and bake at 350 for approx 22 minutes. You don’t want to under bake these or they will sink in the middle, so lightly touch the center to test that they are fully baked.

Enjoy! Now I have to wait for the rest of my bananas to brown so I can make some more!

Thought I’d share too my Almond Flour of choice! Just went in with a few friends on a bulk order…huge savings by buying direct from the company! Their flour is super fine…bakes up like any other flour would:) Check them out!

Barley Lentil Soup

Barley Lentil Soup

Here’s a peak at peak at what I just pulled out of the freezer for a quick dinner tonight…a comforting meal for all of those still experiencing SNOW!! (Happy it’s not us!!)

Made this soup for the first time a few weeks ago. We had company coming for lunch, so I thought I’d try it out…kinda always a risk to try something new when guests are coming! I think they liked it?! We sure did! I had made a double batch so I froze the leftovers:)

ps…our boys BOTH love this soup…a great healthy and filling dinner to have on hand for them:)

Barley Lentil Soup

1/2 cup whole barley
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
5 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1/2 cup lentils…any colour
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
2 Tbsp tamari seasoning (or soya sauce)
2 celery stalks, diced
2 carrots, diced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp each: basil, oregano, thyme and sea salt
1/2 tsp dill
several dashes of cayenne or hot sauce

1. Place barley in a bowl…covered with water…for at least 1 hour or overnight. Drain and rinse barely, set aside.

2. In a large heavy pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute until translucent. Add stock and bring to a boil.

3. Add soaked barley, reduce heat and simmer covered for about 30 minutes.

4. Add lentils and simmer covered for an additional 20 minutes.

5. Once barely and lentils are tender, add vegetables, herbs and spices and simmer for an additional 10 minutes…or until you’re ready to eat! Add more water or stock if needed to thin soup.

*I used all dried spices and seasonings…just cause that’s what I had on hand…and it tasted great! I’m sure fresh would be amazing…but the dried worked too!

Duh, Winning?

OK. Unless you’ve been residing in a cave or are in complete media blackout these past weeks, you’ve heard about the recent escapades of Charlie Sheen. I try so hard to not pay attention to the gossip and the ever-so-quick-to-judge rumours that fly around, but thanks to TV, magazines, Facebook, and the internet in general, it’s becoming harder and harder. I have to admit, my first words were something along the lines of “o.k. So. He’s crazy.”

I realize that what’s being shown is NOT the real story. The real story is so much more complicated. This might be a carefully thought out plan for extra press. It might not be. If not, then clearly this is a man traveling a very dark path and I can only imagine how many people are wanting to step in and help.

During a TV special yesterday, I listened as Charlie Sheen made obscure, bizarre sentences that usually ended with the word “winning”. I also very carefully watched the people with him. If (and I do mean if) this downward spiral of a fellow human being is actually happening and it’s not some publicity stunt, then I question his so called “friends”. It appears that they are all having a great time enjoying their 15 minutes of fame while someone they claim to care about is slipping further and further away. Charlie Sheen has been fired from his very popular TV show and who knows what his future holds.

So this is where I call out to all friends, family and acquaintances:

O.K. people, if there is ever a time that I am referring to people as trolls, calling myself a warlock and stating that I have tiger blood in my veins (which I’m sure is completely illegal), you have my FULL permission to step in and take action. I may not like it, and I may even fight it, but suck it up. I’m only 5’2″ and although I pretend to know martial arts, I can probably be taken down quite easily. This is how I know you love me. By not just sitting by and supporting my new completely delusional lifestyle, you are showing me that I matter to you and that you want me around for a while.

Thank you in advance.

P.S. you could probably lure me anywhere with popcorn. Just a tip.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!!

(especially the chocolates)

To my dear husband…I love you with all my heart and everyday (yes, everyday) I know I am blessed to be your wife. Thank you- for you.

Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

The new favourite cookie in our house…for this week anyhow! A great friend introduced me to Almond Flour last weekend…and I finally got a chance to try it out last night. AMAZING! So easy to work with, and such good flavour…if you like almonds, that is! I will let you know right off the bat though, almond flour is slightly higher in price than regular flours…but I found some on sale and am definitely happy that I picked it up!

In the end, this batch of cookies which makes about 30 small cookies, cost me about $6 to make…not bad??!! Still cheaper than buying them at the store…and just way way way better for you! These little guys are packed full of amazing things for you…almonds, coconut oil (SUPER health benefits to consuming this…I have honestly eaten it by the spoonful at times…great for your skin…you won’t find ANY of those benefits in a tub of margarine or ‘spread’…and no, it WON’T make you gain weight!!!! Our bodies NEED proper fats DAILY!), maple syrup (natures natural sugar!)…and then of course a couple of chocolate chips (a staple in any diet!). These are a cookie that you can feel GREAT about your kids eating!

Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/2 cups of almond flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup of coconut oil, melted (butter would work too)
1/4 cup of maple syrup (or other sweetener)
1 egg
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and blend with a spoon.
3. Add the wet ingredients and blend it well with a spoon.
4. Drop onto cookie sheet using small spoon…or large if you prefer! Flatten them slightly.
5. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until they are starting to brown around the edges.

These cookies don’t hold well if they are under-baked…and will be crunchy if over-baked.

I froze about half of them last night, just incase they went hard overnight…and to my surprise they were even more moist in the morning! Jay popped a few out of the freezer at lunch and they were a very tasty frozen cookie too! (side note…semi-frozen brownies are a favourite in this house!!)

The coconut oil in these and the texture of the almond flour pair to make these cookies resemble macaroons in flavour! Yum! Maybe next time I’ll try adding some cocoa powder to them??!! On that note, if you’re not a coconut fan, you might want to opt for the butter instead:)
