The Green Leaves Between The Steak And The Baked Potato

We see a green stick with green leaves all the time between the steak and the baked potato.  That green stick with green leaves is called PARSLEY.  Parsley is many times overlooked and often thought as a decorative piece among the meat and the starch.  Now, you are about to find out the mighty power of parsley.

Parsley is rich in chlorophyll that aids in detoxification especially in kidney and liver.  Also, parsley provides Vitamin A,C, K, and B vitamins, beta carotene, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, potassium, folic acid, and sulfur.

Parsley can:
1. build blood.
2. aid in digestion.
3. boots energy.
4. combats fatigue.
5. dissolves cholesterol.
6. supports the adrenals.
7. strengthens teeth and bones.
8. prevents birth defects.
9. eliminates bloating.
10. reduces inflammation, and many more.
11. detoxifies kidney and liver.

To maximize the benefit of parsley, I like to use in salad, juice, and my energy green soup.  Usually, I chop parsley very fine and mix with my salad.  Also, I use parsley when I make salad dressing.  Juicing parsley is another great way to get all the benefits, but parsley juice should not be drunk by itself and use only one 1 to 2 ounces.  I like to add parsley juice in carrot or apple juice. 

Next time, when you are eating steak and potato, don't ignore your green leafy friend, parsley!

Banana Ice Cream

We all love ice cream.  We love the creamy sweet ice cream.  However, here is the reality!  Did you know that U.S. milk contains rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone)?  If you would like to find more about what rBGH milk can do to your body, please check out http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2001/08/25/milk-part-three.aspx or a book by Dr. Epstein called What's in Your Milk?  This article will blow your mind away because it involves your children's future health.

So, how do we satisfy our desire for ice cream.  Frozen banana!!!!  Here is the recipe for you will take no more than 5 to 10 minutes to prepare.

Frozen Banana Ice Cream

Equipment needed: food processor,blender, or juicer

Freeze bananas.

1. Defrost 10 minutes before making it.

2. Using one of the machines list above and blend until it becomes smooth.
3. Add 1/2 tsp. lemon juice while blending. (may omit if you don't have lemon juice in hand)
4. Serve it with any topping you desire.

This is my mother-in-law's favorite ice cream now.  Also, you cannot beat the nutritional value of banana as well like B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, potassium, manganese, magnesium,and fiber.

You can enjoy ice cream without undesirable consequences of eating dairy products with rBGH!

Raw/Living Food Kitchen

I love to create raw/living food for me and my family to enjoy.  My daughter, Sam, and I put our thinking caps on and contemplate about different spices, herbs, sweets, treats, and meals.  We love simple and easy preparing recipes.  We like our recipes to take no more than 15 to 30 minutes to make a meal with simple directions.
We like when we use no equipments.  We like to prepare our meals mostly with a knife and cutting board.  When we do use any type of kitchen equipments, we use food processor the most.  We believe most of you own one.  We make marinara sauce, chili, cookies, sauce, pudding...... the possibilities are endless. Now, if you like to be a little fancy in preparing living food, a high speed blender comes in handy.  we believe you might already own one of those blender to make fruity Margarita drinks.  With a high speed blender, you can make creamy desserts, almond milk, soup.... also the possibilities are endless. 
So far so good.... before you even realize your kitchen is already equip to create raw/living food.  We love creating treats.  My daughter and I like to fiddle with a machine called, dehydrator.  This machine is not necessary to have to be raw/living food.  We like to use it make lunch snacks like fruit leather (replacing those artificially colored or flavored chewy candy), crackers, chips..... again the possibilities are endless.
We like our dehydrators, but mostly we use knives, cutting boards, and food processor.  Most of my clients were very surprised to find out how quickly they were able to create delicious dishes.

Just say no to GMO!!!!!

Are You Being Fed GMO (genetically Motified Organism) Foods?

Dear Friends,
I know that many of you have never heard of GMO. What is GMO? GMO foods are produced in the laboratory by inserting genes of bacteria, viruses, insects, animals, or even humans into the DNA of food crops or animals. 

If I tell you that......, how do you feel?

1.  Americans have been eating GMO foods since 1996,

2.  these multinational biotech companies inserted genes from species like bacteria and viruses which have never been in the human food supply,

3.  the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) states, "Several
animal studies indicate seriou health risks associated with GM food," including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system. 

Furthermore, United States does not require labeling.  I guess you would know the reason for no labeling. 

The next question is what are the GMO foods on the market?

1. soy (surprised)
2. corn (shocked)
3. canola
4. cotton
5. sugar beets
6. papaya from Hawaii
7. a little bit of zucchini and yellow crookneck squash

Now, you need to know that the many of these foods are used in many different forms and ways.
For example, the corn is used in feeding domastic animals like cows, chickens, and pigs.  The corn is made into corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup (new name: corn sugar), and corn oil.  If I tell that over 90% of United States' corn are GMO, would you believe it?  The answer is YES!!!! So, what type of corn is your soda you are drinking everyday? 

Now, you want to know why they are not labeled on the packages of food we buy.  If you have a choice to pick between nonGMO and GMO product, what would you choose?  According to Jeffrey Smith, the author of Seeds of Deception, states, "the FDA official in charge of creating this (no label required) policy was Michael Taylor, the former attorney for Monsanto, the largest biotech company, and later their vice president."

Please, do your own research and find more about GMO. Just last month, the biotech company tried to introduce GM salmon in our food supply.  The salmons grow twice as bigger than the nonGM salmons in a very short time. 

Do you feel that you spend your hard earn money to buy foods of your choice?  Think again......
