~ Zucchini What to do with it ~

Zucchini was always something that was bought and thrown away after it went bad in the fridge. I would think of it weeks later and go to get it and my fingers would break the skin. It would be rotten all the way through. I never knew what to do with them. I didn't even know zucchini was a squash. These two are huge and will be my food for the next week.


Zucchini is a vegetable I eat just about daily now. I use it in my smoothie's, green spoups, raw pastas and as a cover for veggie wraps. You could also call them spring rolls. I am working on one now and can't wait to figure out the finishing touches.

Nutritional Value of Zucchini

This food is low in saturated fat, very low in cholesterol , sodium and low in calories. It is also a good source of Thiamin, Niacin and Pantothenic Acid, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Folate, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc, Copper and Manganese.

Dont peel your zucchini just wash the skin because most of the nutritional value is in the skin

~ Raw Green Smoothie ~

Raw/green foods are the best foods on the planet. If you suffer with any kind of illness and are tired of suffering there is a way out. At first it takes time and effort to prepare green smoothies, juices and soups, but once you begin your journey and stay there for a few weeks you will never want to go back to the regular way of eating. The typical way of eating has had all the nutrients and enzymes removed. Processed, packaged and cooked foods are basically poison, absent of any nutritional value. Raw green foods are living foods and if you eat them your body will become more alive !!

I first got my inspiration from Dr Robert and Shelly Young. I saw Shelly make a green smoothie on television a year ago. It was 100% green. What a new concept for me because I had a fruit smoothie for breakfast for years. Fruit, even though it high in antioxidants, is also very acidic due to it's sugar content. My smoothie is a variation of Shelly Young's...

1 avocado

1 lime

2 cups of baby spinach

1 cucumber

1 tsp powdered wheat grass

I didn't understand that cooked/processed foods caused chronic illness and and even disease such as cancer. The way to free yourself from chronic illness or even life threatening issues is to blast it away with living green foods. I have always told people don't take my word for it. Try it and if you see results you know it is the Truth!!

~ What is Maca ? ~

Maca is one of the top ten Super Foods and highly

I bought some Maca root powder. My husband and I both have little energy and this is supposed to be one of the top ten super foods. It enhances energy and mood also is high in iron which I desperately need. It has a distinct flavor that needs to be hidden in something like raw chocolate pie. I have been adding it in my chocolate pies and my son has not noticed. I have been also adding it to my husbands fruit smoothies and it is amazing to watch the results . It works directly when you put it in your body. You need to be careful taking this food not to overdue it. In order to be balanced it is recommended to take if for three or four days then stop for a few days before taking it again. Too much of this awesome food could cause you to crash.

~ Baby Arugula and Grapefruit Salad ~

I find some of the micro greens such as Arugula to be a little bit bitter so adding something sweet to balance the taste. The pink grapefruit juice softens the leaves and makes them more enjoyable.


Baby Arugula and Grapefruit Salad
2 cups of baby arugula
1 large grapefruit
1/2 soaked almonds
2 T fresh grapefruit juice
dash of sea salt

The best fruits for you are lemons, limes and grapefruit. Citrus fruits, with the exception of oranges, are low in sugar. Oranges are high in vitamin C, but if you suffer with Candida or diabetes you must avoid them due to their high sugar content. I use lime in most of my green smoothies to give them a little sweetness and make them more palatable ...

Arugula health benifits and nutritional value

Arugula is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, folic acid, calcium, manganese, and magnesium. It's also a very good source of potassium, iron, zinc, riboflavin, and copper.

Arugula and other cruciferous vegetables contain a group of anticancer compounds . These compounds exert antioxidant activity, and are potent stimulators of natural detoxifying enzymes in the body.

Arugula, like other greens, is rich in many essential vitamins and minerals, as well as important phytochemicals. Arugula contains phytochemicals such as carotenes and chlorophyll. Those phytochemicals make it an excellent source of antioxidants which aid in feeding the body and cleaning unwanted toxins.

~ Mung Bean and Sunflower Spouts ~

My first try at sprouting Mung Beans


I was surprised how easy it was to sprout mung beans. I soaked them overnight and then rinsed the next morning. They opened a little with a little white shoot. Within 48 hours they looked like this. Mung Bean sprouts are packed with nutients and enzymes. I added them to my salads and which lasted a couple of days. They gave a crunchy texture to my salad. I would have to say I still prefer sprouts that come from seeds rather than beans. These however are a nice change to the rugular sprouts which I usually eat. I eat most of the time red clover, alfalfa and radish sprouts.

My first attempt at sprouting sunflower seeds...

I did the same with the sunflower seeds. I soaked them overnight and then rinsed them. Within 24 hours I noticed shoots. They would have been very nice to add to my salads, but I let them continue for several says. They produced wirey fibers that looked as if they needed soil to take root. I know beautiful sunflower sprouts are grown from soil. They look very attractive and I am sure are delicious. The next time I attempt to grow these I will use organic soil just like you use it for growing wheat grass.

~ Terri's All Radish Salad ~

I love radish so much I came up with a salad that includes radishes, radish greens and radish sprouts....** (:

~ Health Benifits of Radish and it's Greens ~

Radishes and their greens provide an excellent source of vitamin C. Radish leaves contain almost six times the vitamin C content of their root and are also a good source of calcium. The red radishes also offer a very good source of potassium, copper and folic acid.

Radishes, like other member of the cruciferous family (cabbage,kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts), contain cancer-fighting properties. They contain a variety of sulfur-based chemicals that increase the flow of bile. Therefore, they help to maintain a healthy gallbladder and liver, and improve digestion. Fresh radish roots contain a larger amount of vitamin C than cooked radish roots. Radish greens, contain far more vitamin C, calcium, and protein than the roots.

All vegetables are beneficial, but their leafy greens are far superior. Now I usually eat more greens and sprouts than the vegetable or root.

Raw /Vegan Not Eat More Chocolate Cookies

Dandy Blend and Raw Chocolate Cookies

Most of us don't just eat to live, but live to enjoy food. You see countless people standing in the line up at Tim Horton's (coffee/donut shop) needing their comfort food to start their day. Raw cookies are the best way to meet that need to go with your morning Java. They do not cause the same damage as a muffin filled with sugar, saturated fats and processed flours. Raw cookies give you pure energy from the living nutrition in them. If you eat sugar you feel high temporarily and then within the hour you're looking for more...Most people live this way and don't realize what they are doing to themselves. I can say I have struggled with the need for a treat to start my day my whole life. Now I am so thankful to know there are options that meet that same emotional need without the same negative consequences as a muffin.
