~ Carrot Cleanser ~





I decided to try something different. I have stayed away from ginger for a few years, but tried and for some reason it didn't bother me. It tasted really hot, but very delicious.





I used an inch of ginger root in the juicer ans wow what a kick. next time I am only putting a tiny bit.





 

As you can see I have used apple and ginger.....

  



I used a bunch of carrots , three apples, inch of ginger and a lemon.......delish !!


It was a real treat if your not used to these ingredients go slow on the ginger root and maybe half a lemon....





 ENJOY !<3

~ Quinoa with RAw ~





I usually start my day by juicing greens dandelions.... :)


I made a lovely dish which is popular here and make it weekly. I did cook my quinoa. I eat some whole foods and mostly raw foods.

This particular dish is made with cooked quinoa and some aromatic herbs like my doctor suggested.



  

A friend of mine was talking about cooking quinoa and adding cranberries and how her husband loved it so I tried and added a bunch of things.




 

I cooked the quinoa and added turmeric a tsp, sea salt, black pepper, freeze dried garlic, green onions...


  

I then decorated it with raw toppings loads of cilantro, cubed avocado and cranberries

Triple YUM !



~ Along the Eastern Ocean Shore ~











Love the ocean waves majestic!!






There is nothing like being outside in the summer. All the green , fresh air especially along the ocean shore.





The salt air is filled with minerals we need to help strengthen our bodes. It has as well a negative change which also helps out nervous systems.

I have not realized what we allow into our minds and our thought how they can effect our health.

Taking in all the creation around us is so good for us and gives us a better sense of self awareness and spiritual awakening..... we need this quiet time to reflect and kind of clean the mind. I consider it sort of a mental detox,
 

 The sunlight is so good for our minds and helps deal with depression. it is good if you can get out at least 20 min each day preferably early in the morning around ten . Really focus on what you see and breathe deeply into the abdomen for a count of five and out through the nose for a count of five.

 
 Another thing that is great to do first thing in the morning is to drink a liter of filtered water add some cucumber slices or squeezed lime. Then get out for a little while then have your breakfast.


 These shots are beautiful. My son took then he enjoys photography as well.

 
 Get to the beach or get outside and do something new today that you have been putting off.
the right choices we make today create a better tomorrow !

~ There has been a lot of change ~



It has been a while since I have blogged and have been searching for answers and direction.
I was very ill a couple years ago and now I am about 70 % better. I have worked with massage therapists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, CST, meditation,  and also have done some life changing work with Steve McEvoy. I have been set free in some real important areas. I also need to mention my very dear doctor who is a biological naturopath . If it wasn't for him I might not be here now . He is not only a brilliant doctor and I also consider him a good friend.

Currently I am going to walks around the lake, hanging out at the beach, doing deep breathing exercises, (FREEZE FRAME), I drink lots of juices mainly green ones and smoothies mostly a liquid diet. I love to walk bare foot or something called Earthing to get grounded.....



I am also into hugging trees to get grounded and I have found I have been able to run and jump and even climb trees.....so there has been much progress....

I have many posts to catch up on , but wanted to just let the public know what I have been doing. I also have been working out dancing a lot which has been a huge help......





This has been my lifesaver I have been dancing now at least and hour every days for a month and if I could get a local group together to dance walk I would.....

~ Gluten Free Pot Pie ~

For a while now I have been looking for healthier alternatives for my family. Wheat is so overused and is an allergen for most people. My son has an intolerance to wheat and contributes to feeling tired, bloated and headaches. Wheat can prevent us from absorbing essential nutrients.
The only form of wheat I want my family to have is in the form of green grass. When you sprout wheat berries you can grow a beautiful grass which is packed full of chlorophyll which many healing properties.


I found this recipe from one of my favorites sites called , " The Spunky Coconut". This recipe has a pastry made with coconut flour, almond meal and tapioca flour. Click this link to get her famous pie crust recipe : http://www.thespunkycoconut.com/2011/01/spinach-artichoke-pies-gluten-free.html

Every ingredient is whole and organic which is wheat and dairy free.


There are a couple of cups of free range chicken added to this recipe. It is optional if you don't eat meat you can either just have the veggies or add some some sprouted green lentils.

The sauce is delicious and made with almond milk and all sorts of spices. Click here to get the sauce recipe : http://www.thespunkycoconut.com/2011/01/pot-pie-pockets-gluten-free-casein-free.html

I am so tempted to just make the filling and eat it is as is without the crust because I do find it heavy. I am not used to pastry I mostly eat veggies. As a general rule keeping meat and grains separate is healthier and easier to digest, but this is a treat once in a while. Also for those who eat this way this is a very good substitute for wheat and shortening. The pastry has coconut oil instead of shortening which is so much healthier for you.


I was in awe at how beautiful it looked before I put the top layer and admired it. I am so thankful this is possible to make something traditional without the wheat.

Here is the crust it is a little more work than using regular pastry because it is gluten free and it breaks up. It requires patience and lots of love.


Here is a picture after it was just out of the oven and I cut my fist piece quickly because it smelled so good. The crust is a little sweet because it has apple sauce and ground chia in it which gives it that special touch.
