<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Do you love kale but aren't sure how to eat it? Here's how!</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<br /></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 bunch organic gale, cut into small pieces with kitchen scissors</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4 green onions, cut into small pieces</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 c dried no sugar cranberries</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 c raw pumpkin seeds, preferably organic</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dressing</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 c cashew cream cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 tsp onion powder, organic</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1-2 raw garlic cloves, minced</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4 dates, chopped and seeded</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1-2 tbsp lemon or orange juice</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Himalayan Sea Salt to taste</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Rejuvalac added slowly until desired consistency</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Blend in the high speed blender of your choice, adding rejuvalac slowly until desired consistency is achieved. Pour on to greens after they have been cut into small pieces and refrigerate for 1-4 hours. You can also add raw goat cheese chèvre on top or your choice of salad toppers.</div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Oat Groat Rejuvelac</h2>
<div>
1 cup Whole Oat Groats, Buckwheat, Quinoa or other grain</div>
<div>
6 cups of Spring or filtered water</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Soak grains in enough water to cover and soak overnight in a glass jar with a cheesecloth over the mouth of the jar. Drain the grains and put in 6 cups of water for 1-3 days either in 2 jars or three, divide grains equally between containers and add water.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Drain the rejuvelac with a metal strainer and refrigerate for 1-2 weeks, it should be pungent </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Cashew Cream Cheese</b></h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2 cups raw cashew, soaked in rejuvelac for 5-8 hours, just enough to cover the cashews</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Blend in a high speed blender until smooth. Add some Himalayan Sea Salt to taste, blend once again.</div>
<div>
Put in a glass jar with lid and store in the refrigerator </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I use this on crackers, celery, or anything you would use cream cheese on. I also use it as a base for cheese sauce I put on top of dishes. This is simple, add cashew cheese with nutritional yeast and lemon juice and some red pepper, fresh or dried.</div>

They are made with Konjac Powder. It is a root of a native Japanese plant. They also grow in Korea, Indonesia, and China. It is also known as "elephant yams". Much of the time it is used in place of gelatin, an animal based product unsuitable for vegans, vegetarians and health conscious people. It also has zero calories and is very high in fiber. </span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;">Now if you eat seafood regularly, you are not going to eat this and saw "wow, this tastes just like shrimp" but if you are allergic to seafood or against factory farm raised shrimping, you will be thrilled at the possibilities this product has to offer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;">I love mexican tortillas so I was very happy to find out Ezekial makes sprouted corn tortillas in the freezed section of most local health food stores. Being frozen, I can have them on hand whenever I am craving mexican food. Braise cabbage, portabellos and onions with some Earth Balance, Maldon Sea Salt and whole cumin seeds for authentic mexican flavors. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"> </span><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnIpGHrWNN60Kz5JLUscL5LmQNsxlwDzGjAGdEX6Mf7Dhb_oN1QI7zc6yJvlQ3VqFjRWe-xEqmY_aWHr9J1Ueg2bK0qYGTZubmSPSJ8-MBx22ncCsjqYN6BZDY39dHuYe20cOf1oWqQjXU/s320/shrimptacos-1041.jpg" width="255" /></div><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;"><br />

It really tastes good to substitute a much healthier alternative like cashew cream and Earth Balance. Please remember that Earth Balance is available soy free and unlike Smart Balance, it does not have hydrogenated anything. Read the label on everything you eat. You should be able to understand every word on there. If not, research it. MSG is being added as all kinds of things these days. These are excito-toxins that make your brain not want to eat natural foods. "Let thy food be thy medicine."-Hippocrates<br />

Its light, fluffy flavor has always been one of my favorites. Plus, it's <b>full of amino acids, actually all 9</b> of the necessary ones. It also has <b>as much protein pound for pound against meat</b>. That should satisfy most of your protein cravings and help you with lysine if you work out and are worried that a vegan diet might not contain enough protein.<br />
<br />
If this is not enough to convince you to LOVE quinoa, I have a few more phenomenal facts about this Superfood...<br />
<br />
It's full of antioxidants helping your body rid itself of free radicals, wheat and gluten-free, Magnesium rich which helps control hypertension, fiber-rich so it helps clean your colon, lowers triglycerides, helps regulate bile helping prevent gall stones, and if that is not enough, it aids in <b>WEIGHT LOSS</b>!!!! </div>Heather Blantonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16701851997812935148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397924990228038885.post-41080399067666417822011-11-15T15:01:00.000-08:002011-11-15T15:12:51.429-08:00Chick-in and Pea Shoot Spring Rolls w.

This is shocking to me since we have managed to make black bean, pinto bean, garbanzo bean, cranberry bean, black eyed pea and red kidney bean styles.<br />This paticular recipe is with cranberry and pinto bean tempeh. You boil it in a marinade of tamari, ginger, ancho and chipolte peppers, ginger, garlic and jaggery. If you don't have jaggery run out to an indian store and get some! Its the only sugar that is unprocessed and actually has health benefits.<br /><br />After you marinate tempeh for 45 minuted, make the sauce from chipolte, ancho, carrots, celery, garlic and onion with a 28 oz. can of Muir fire roasted tomatos. After you cook everything for a bit, put it in the Vita-Mix with some Earth Balance and blend on high. This is a preservative free enchilada style sauce that is great for mexican dishes like huevos rancheros, enchiladas or this paticular meal here.<br /><br />The black bean puree is 15 oz. of black beans, I used dry ones I soaked for two hours and boiled for 20 minutes. Saute 1/2 Vidalia onion and garlic in Earth Balance or oil and then add back beans and puree in the food processor until desired consistency.<br /><br />Roast a poblano pepper on a grill or burner, or I used my toaster oven on Broil setting. After it is charred all over the skin must be removed along with seeds and stem. Cut this up nicely adding diced shallots and cilantro with a squueze of lime juice.<br /><br />Braised a little kale or collards and you are getting some greens while you are at it.<br /><br />Take the tempeh and dredge in cornmeal and then pan fry until golden.<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span></span>Heather Blantonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16701851997812935148noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397924990228038885.post-16526945741965732772011-03-21T18:03:00.000-07:002011-03-21T18:05:42.878-07:00Soy Sausage with Vegetables on Potato Pancake<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjYqDy77yUVP5_wreRX-LiQjNznI4FTYCwt64pgzNOK6Bh86I-J8wL5tsx8o_uoVuTXCv8wUPAGqVWTx3VDexTFuUWMZTk3UgLO6hGw8N4eVZSu7T-ZhI6wQhAXphNjqTZv1pjX2PuF3mN/s1600/sausagepotatopie-160.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 366px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjYqDy77yUVP5_wreRX-LiQjNznI4FTYCwt64pgzNOK6Bh86I-J8wL5tsx8o_uoVuTXCv8wUPAGqVWTx3VDexTFuUWMZTk3UgLO6hGw8N4eVZSu7T-ZhI6wQhAXphNjqTZv1pjX2PuF3mN/s400/sausagepotatopie-160.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586703852091766354" border="0" /></a><br />The bottom is hash browns.
