Don't Feed Your Candida (song)

I had felt depressed for many years

Had no idea t'was my food

Causing so much feud.

Joints aching, stomach sore

When eczema took over
gluten was first to go

My skin got better and my hair grew long
yet emotions so unstable

There were voices in the fridge: DON’T DO IT!

VOICES IN MY HEAD: NOT WORTH IT!

Too many men have tried before…

Whatever you do:

Don’t feed your candida

Don’t even eat the rice

Don’t feed your candida

Until you know you’re (pause) alkaline

When your body aches and you get on board

Now there'll be no turning back,

Beware of dairy, starch and sugar

The probiotics work, and the itching stops

Some pounds are finally shed..shed…shed

Persistence pays off toxicity is gone

 

And then my good friend said:

“Here is CAKE FOR YOU
 so you must eat it now” – “Don’t do it!”

“YOU MUST EAT SWEET NOW.”– “Don’t do it!”

AND NOW MY VOICE IS LOUD - "Whatever you do:

Don’t feed your candida

Don’t even eat the rice

Don’t feed your candida

Until you know you’re alkaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!”

(Musical interlude)

yah yah yah

Don’t feed your candida

Don’t even eat the rice

Don’t feed your candida

Until you know that you’re alkaline!”

(Repeat twice more without a break)

"Don't feed (hold for seven beats) your candida!"

French Lentil Soup avec brocoli

ça me vient plus facilement aujourd'hui, écrire ma recette en français plutot que in English.

• 8 à 10 tomates rouges du jardin (peau enlevée, voir truc en bas de page)
• 1/2 tasse de lentilles rincées (les miennes sont vertes)
• 1/2 tete de broccoli
• au moins 3 gousses d'ail  ;)
• 1 cuil. à table de chacune de ces épices : paprika, curcuma, corinandre et sel (marin, hymalayan ou autre)
• herbes : 8 grandes feuilles de sauge fraiche (ou autres herbes)
• 2 cuil. à table d'huile (noix de coco ou olive ou autre)
• 900 ml bouillon ... legume, oignon, poulet ou autre

Faire revenir à feu élevé, dans l'huile, l'ail et le broccoli. Dans une marmite, porter à ébulition les tomates et épices. Ajoutez le bouillon, les lentilles et vos feuilles de sauge. Mijotez à feu moyen-doux environ 20 minutes. Enlevez les feuilles. Ajoutez ail et broccoli, continuez à cuire jusqu'à ce que tout soit tendre sous la dent, environ 5 minutes.

Pour confectioner une soupe repas, ajoutez une poignée de riz basmati ou de quinoa en même temps que le bouillon.

Donne 6 grandes portions.

Les tomates

Déposez les tomates fraiches dans l'eau bouillante après avoir enlevé le nombril et tracé un X au haut du fruit. Soulevez les tomates de l'eau lorsque vous voyez la beau se soulever, 30 à 40 secondes.

Maple Syrup Glazed Spiced Walnuts with Cocoa Nibs

How's that for a descriptive title?! Eric used maple syrup to glaze walnuts, instead of jaggery as described here. We first tasted Satya spiced walnuts at Bahkti in the woods. Eric used the Cottage Blend, recommended to balance acidity and his Pitta (fire element). this blend also helps liver function.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 5 cups walnuts
• 1/4 cup chopped cocoa nibs
• one package "cottage blend" or other Satya spices.
• coconut oil or butter or olive oil (to grease baking pans)

Mix together maple syrup and spices, then the nuts and cocoa nibs - gradually. Mix as you stir in more nuts to coat evenly. Spread on greased cookie sheets and bake at 350F for 3 to 5 minutes. Refrigerate in a jar or airtight container for best results.

Kale of Summer (a collection of gluten free recipes)

Curried kale and tofu with cherry tomatoes and hemp seeds

Summer is coming to an end. We've plucked several plants from the garden as the first frost can come any day now. Most of the kale was cut this weekend. I don't need to tell you how healthy organic kale is, there are many articles on the Web that do just that. Kale is not a vegetable I knew of until just a few years ago. since, we've juiced some and shredded some to add to salads. Here are my other favorite kale concoctions.

Kale Chips (two ways)
1) simplest

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together garlic powder, sea salt, curry powder, turmeric, cayenne pepper, coriander, paprika and olive oil. Mix in kale leaves (no stems) until all coated. Spread leaves on dehydrator trays and dehydrate at 115F until crisp, like a tasty thin green potato chip!

2) "cheesy" if you have a bit more time on your hands
Make a raw cheese by blending 1/3 cup pine nuts, a touch of olive oil, a clove of garlic a piece of red pepper and some curry spice. Coat leaves by massaging them with the paste mixture with your hands. Dehydrate at 115F until crisp. At this temperature, your quality ingredients remain raw and thus all vitamins and benefincial nutrients, even enzymes, are preserved.

Kale and Root Vegetable Soup
A great recipe for fall and for balancing Vatta Dosha. Inspired by this recipe, I used grated parsnip, rutabaga, ginger and carrot along with two small diced beets, kale leaves and 1/2 cup of basmati rice. I didn't have daikon radish or cilantro but added a bunch of parsley at the end of the cooking time.

 

 Curried Kale and Tofu

•  1 block of firm tofu
• 3 to 6 cups cups chopped kale
• 3 tbsp. spices (garlic salt, paprika, turmeric, cumin, coriander and your choice of satya spices, I used woman's blend)
• 1/3 cup total of cocoa or regular ghee or butter or coconut oil (I mixed all three as they melted in the pan)

Mix the spices in an airtight container large enough for all of the tofu. Cut the tofu into small squares and place with spices. Shake to cover evenly. You can do this in advance and keep it in the fridge. To cook, heat your oil in a large pan and stir in the tofu. Stir it up after 4 minutes, repeat until the tofu is browned and looks crisped.


 



Turn heat to medium-low. Add the kale, cover. Stir occasionally, keep covered and sprinkle garlic salt or pepper to taste. You cad add cherry tomatoes and roasted nuts as they did here. Consider serving on a bed of stringy spaghetti squash.

Kale Stuffed Zucchini Boats

• large zucchini(s)
• Portobello mushroom
• onion
• red or orange or yellow bell pepper
• jalapeno pepper
• garlic clove
• hemp hearts
• shredded cheddar cheese
• garlic salt or sea salt
• cayenne, paprika, cumin and coriander or fresh herbs from your garden such as sage, chives and oregano
• butter (or coconut oil or ghee)

 Cut a big zucchini lengthwise, seed or scoop up some flesh from the center. Sprinkle with sea salt or garlic salt and turn upside down on a clean dish towel.

Heat a tbsp of butter in a large frying pan and toss in a chopped Portobello mushroom. Stir until browned and lightly crisped. Set aside. Stir-fry fresh bell and jalapeno peppers coarsely chopped along with onion and garlic. Once tender, add a handful of kale as well as the herbs and/or spices, cover the pan and let the steam tenderize the greens for about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato chunks and mushrooms. Stuff the zucchini boats. Sprinkle hemp hearts and then the cheese.

Bake at 350F for 30 to 40 minutes in a baking pan with 1cm water at the bottom. I baked mine atop a few sage leaves and alongside cored apples stuffed with whole pitted dates, walnuts and a chunk of butter - for dessert.

Any of the leftover vegetable mix can be stirred in to 1/2 cup or more cooked quinoa, rice or beans and sprinkled with lime juice for a hearty salad or side dish for next day's lunch. Here are more luch leftover tips and ideas.

Greatest Kale Juice
Juice with a bunch of kale stems and leaves: red grapes, small beet, apple, celery, chunk of ginger and a lemon.

Learning One-ness

I am purchasing two books today online. The first I've just learned about, I read the introductory version (free e-book) earlier this week and was instantly captivated by the constellation family healing exercises and, the second, I've known about for a while but I haven’t felt ready to dive into the “Divine Matrix”. The titles may seem strange and you might wonder why I'm telling you this.

Of course I haven't read them yet but I believe they will help me understand and further my growth and expand my beliefs so I can better serve and explain concepts that just a short time ago seemed unrealistic and perhaps even dare I say, foolish?

My comprehension of self and others and the way we share space and time is about to change.

We all have different learning styles that can be categorized and combined. The main styles being kinaesthetic (action oriented, learning by doing), visual, auditory, reader/writer and I’ve met one client describe himself as being conceptual so there may be more but these are the main categories. I tend to see myself as the reader/writer type which is probably why I love information so much. In school, math and science were not my fortes, languages, drama and literature better represented my interests. When I met with a career advisor in high school I was told to study communications and attracted to the worlds of journalism, advertising and later, television, that’s what I did.

Today, I consider myself to have excellent skills when it comes to reading, writing and understanding of the written word. Something in me though, drives me to want to understand more deeply the laws of the Universe that connect us all. So I’m increasingly interested in science, biology and elemental chemistry. Doubting my level of comprehension of these subjects, reading books at my own pace seems like the way to go, for me.

I talk about oneness with all of my clients as well as friends and some family now so these books, (along with the one I have written and titled “Why Am I Perfect?”) I perceive as tools that will assist me in assisting clients when I explain ONENESS.

Because thus far, my explanations have contained as many statements as questions!

What books have you read or documentaries watched related to these subjects?

On a sidenote... I'm curious so I'll ask the question: How do you feel about purchasing things from Amazon? There are many more books out there I'd love to read but I'll start with these two. *OH!* and so many cool things are sold on this website, like a spiralizer! With an abundance of spaghetti squash in my garden now, they are firm with a mild sweet taste, this would be a cool thing to have and take my raw food experiences in other direction.

Book summaries copied from Amazon:

1) The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief - Gregg Braden (2008)

Between 1993 and 2000, a series of groundbreaking experiments revealed dramatic evidence of a web of energy that connects everything in our lives and our world - 'the Divine Matrix'. From the healing of our bodies, to the success of our careers, relationships, and the peace between nations, this new evidence demonstrates that we each hold the power to speak directly to the force that links all of creation. What would it mean to discover that the power to create joy, to heal suffering, and bring peace to nations lives inside of you? How differently would you live if you knew how to use this power each day of your life? Join Gregg Braden on this extraordinary journey bridging science, spirituality and miracles through the language of 'The Divine Matrix.'

2) Family Constellations Revealed: Hellinger's Family and other Constellations Revealed (The Systemic View) (Volume 1) - Indra Torsten Preiss

Family and other forms of Constellations constitute one of the most effective and thrilling modern therapeutic methods that will help you improve your relationships and life in general by allowing love to flow again. Not since Freud has the realm of psychology seen such groundbreaking insights as those provided by Hellinger, the founder of Constellations. Constellation work is a universal tool that will enable you to identify and resolve problems in any sphere of life including personal relationship, health and workplace issues. This easy-to-read book comprehensively explains the method and theory of constellations. To augment understanding, the text is illustrated with detailed authentic case studies from Indra's practice. The latest research and innovative applications of systemic constellations, such as organizational, structural and table constellations are also discussed, as well as relevant scientific research. Whether you are a layman or spiritual seeker interested in improving your life or a therapist interested in adding another dimension to your therapeutic skills arsenal, this indispensable book is a treasure trove of information and insights that will go a long way in helping you find true understanding about Constellations and how relationships work.

Marinated Eggplant Instead of Salad Dressing

Begin with the ingredients as you see here: one small eggplant, a couple of garlic cloves, half a tomato, ratio 1:3 raw apple cider vinegar and vegetable oil (cold pressed olive or grapeseed are best), sea salt and finally, fresh herbs like chives and rosemary if you have them.

You can certainly make a larger quantity but it should be consumed within one week. If you want to keep longer, ensure that the vegetables in the jar are submerged in liquid and omit the fresh tomato, use sundried or dehydrated instead.

Chop the tomato and garlic. Put in glass jar, add chopped eggplant. My pieces are quite large and I left the skin on but you can chop more finely and peel if that is your preference. Add other ingredients to fill the jar. Put the lid on and shake it up. Refrigerate and help yourself next day for lunch.

This recipe goes a long way! Watch...

Once you have had a serving or two, add to the jar other types of vegetables such as steamed asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli and/or portobello mushroom. Let that marinate until your next meal.

Combined with a homemade raw cracker, every bite is fabulously different!

 Later in the week, when your jar contains just a few pieces of vegetables but still some liquid, prepare a few hard boiled eggs, remove the shell and add to the jar. Along with some crackers and a salad, this makes a protein and enzyme packed meal you can carry.

How many meals was that?
