Aim Your Thoughts at a Specific Target

23 Sunday Feb 2020

I’m honored that Shaklee asked me to present on the Regional Call this Tuesday. I’d be honored if you joined me. Would you please let me know if you can make it? We’ll discuss how to create the life you want by directing your thoughts.

Listen to Dream Call (start at 8:10)

Printable Dream Sheet.

  • Make your big ‘pile of dreams’! Put them all in there. You can have 20, 30 or even 50 dreams!
  • Pick out your top 3.
  • Prioritize them.
  • Write on each of them: the cost, goal date, how many weeks till that goal date, & the $ amount you’ll save towards it each week.
  • Once you reach a Dream, replace it with a new one from your ‘pile of dreams’

How will it feel a year from now when you’ve accomplished so many dreams?

Sweet Potato Toast

These rich little babies are fantastic, especially if you’re grain free!  Sweet Potato Toast are simply slices of sweet potatoes with lots of good stuff on top (or between).  They’re a great way to get more produce in your diet.  I’m doing ‘7 Day Healthy Cleanse’ and have challenged myself to eat as many produce a day as I can till I’m filled up.  Sweet potatoes really do fill a person up quickly.  I made some vegan dips and mayos to spread on top and stick some crispy veggies into.  I roast mine on my NewWave; some people cook them in the toaster.  They only take a few minutes to cut with a knife, slicer or a food processor.  Hope you have fun with these!

 

Ingredients

produce

sweet potato

condiment

olive oil

favorite spices (I use my Ranch Dressing Mix)

Instructions

  1.  Wash Sweet Potatoes
  2.   Cut them.
  3.   Put them in a bowl (that has a lid) and drizzle oil & spices on top.
  4.   Put on the lid and shake them up!
  5.   Roast them in the oven @ 350 for 25 min till browned.  Flip them over and roast another 20 min.    -or-   Roast them in the New Wave for 15 min; flip them and roast another 12-15 min till browned. 
  6.   Top with your favorite dips or sauces.

I topped some with my Avocado Parsnip Mayo – vegan (dairy free, egg free), GF, nut free  and others with Vegan Cheese Sauce – nut and oil free.
The purple sweet potatoes have a more uniform, cylindrical shape.
I topped with my Garlic Chive Cream Cheese – dairy free, high protein deliciousness!

Avocado Parsnip Mayo – vegan (dairy free, egg free), GF, nut free

30 Friday Nov 2018

Mayo: avocado | parsnip

Mayo makes nearly everything taste better! Since I’m dairy free, gluten free and pro produce, this blend is perfect for me! For variety, I swap out different spice combos. I use this as a dip for veggies, a spread for sandwiches, a sauce for noodles or a dressing for salads.

Why Parsnips & Avocado?

Parsnips are packed with fiber and many nutrients (like mood raising folate, immune boosting vitamin C and stress relieving potassium).  Avocado is also incredibly nutritious!  Avocado’s creamy richness can lower cholesterol and triglycerides while moisturizing the skin & boosting brain power.  I hope you love this as much as I do.

ingredients

produce

avocado, peeled with pit removed, 1

lemon juice, 1 tsp (or apple cider vinegar)

parsnip, steamed & processed, 1 cup

green onions, 1/8 cup

bell pepper, orange, 1/4 cup

condiment

mustard, 1 TBS

seasoning

cayenne pepper

garlic powder, 1/2 tsp

pepper, black, 1/2 tsp

salt, 1 tsp (omit if doing the ‘7 Day Healthy Cleanse‘)

 

instructions

  1.  Dice bell peppers & green onions.  Set aside.
  2.  Remove avocado pit and peel.
  3.  Steam parsnips.
  4.  Blend all ingredients (except bell peppers & green onions) at medium speed until mixed well.
  5.   Stir in bell peppers & green onions.

notes

*I love swapping in my Ranch Dressing Mix  for the seasonings in this great mayo.

Grape Yam Daikon Sauce

I challenged myself to create a vegan, dairy free, gluten free, nut free sauce that I could use on my ‘7 Day Healthy Cleanse‘.  I was on day 4 and really needed some new flavors.  This light, sweet, garlicky flavor is delicious!  I use this as a spread for sandwiches, a sauce for noodles or a dressing for salads.  In case you don’t know what a daikon is (like I didn’t a few months ago!), here’s a pic of a beautiful white roasted daikon.  

Why Grape, Yam & Daikon Radish?

Grapes have heart friendly plant compounds that may protect against certain cancers. Yams are loaded with fiber, iron, calcium, selenium, beta carotene, B and C vitamins.  Daikon radishes are packed with digestive enzymes, immune raising phytonutrients and lots of Vitamin C, potassium and phosphorus.    I hope you love this as much as I do.   

ingredients

produce

banana, 1/2 cup

daikon radish, 1/2 cup

grapes, 1/4 cup

lemon juice, 1 tsp (or apple cider vinegar)

yam, steamed, 1 cup

condiment

mustard, 1 TBS

seasoning

cayenne pepper

garlic powder, 1/2 tsp

pepper, black, 1/2 tsp

salt, 1 tsp (omit if doing the ‘7 Day Healthy Cleanse‘)

 

instructions

  1.  Wash, chop & steam daikon radish & yam.
  2.  Chop banana.
  3.  Wash grapes.
  4.  Process all ingredients at medium speed until mixed well.
  5.  Refrigerate.

Ranch Dressing Mix – vegan, gluten free, dairy free

Ranch Dressing Mix

Life without Ranch Dressing isn’t as delicious.  Since most commercially available Ranch Dressings have undesirable MSG, my hunt for solutions was on.  Being dairy free makes the quest more challenging.  I finally found some great treasures though and decided to share them with you!  You can add this great Ranch Dressing Mix to many types of ‘mayo’ and other ‘bases’ which are vegan (dairy free & egg free), and gluten free.  I try to always have a big batch of this mix on hand!  

seasoning ingredients

chives, dried, 1 TBS

dill, dried, 1 teas

garlic, powder, 2 teas

onion, flakes, 2 teas

onion, powder, 2 teas

parsley, dried, 2 TBS

pepper, black, 1 teas

salt, 1 teas   (omit if doing the ‘Shaklee 7 Day Healthy Cleanse’)

————*If doing the ‘7 Day Healthy Cleanse‘, use fresh herbs 

 

instructions

  1.   Mix all ingredients.
  2.   Mix 2 TBS in 1 cup of ‘mayo’ or ‘base’ of choice.  (See ideas below.)
  3.   Mix in 1/2 cup of dry milk powder.  (dairy free veggie dry milk powder).  (If doing the cleanse, omit this ingredient.)

                  *I recommend adding the Ranch Dressing Mix to Mashed Cauli, Mashed Butternut Squash, Vegan Cheese Sauce – nut & oil free, Vegan Cream Cheese (dairy free, nut free), or Vegan Mayo.

 

notes

*If doing the ‘7 Day Healthy Cleanse‘, use fresh herbs / spices instead of dried.

Honey Garlic Baked Cauli: Egg Free, Gluten Free

04 Thursday Jan 2018

, , , , ,

honey garlic baked cauli - pinterestThese little babies are easy to make and so delicious!  I made this great recipe, inspired by Kirbie’s Cravings, into an egg free, gluten free version!  If you’re working to eat more produce, these cauli bites are perfect for you!  The hauntingly sweet flavor continues to delight after the dish is gone.  In fact, as I type this post, the after-taste is delighting me.  Why?  I just ate the whole bowl of fresh cauli you see in the pic above.  My contented grin and belly feel well nourished.   And yours can too.

The honey garlic sriracha sauce has a bit of a ‘bite’.  It’s clearing my sinuses right now.  If you need to cool it down a bit, you can dip them in my dairy free ‘Garlic Chive Cream Cheese‘.  (pic below).

HONEY GARLIC BAKED CAULI – vegan, egg free, gluten free

MAIN INGREDIENTS

  • flax egg replacer, 2 (2 TBS flaxseed meal whisked into 6 TBS water)
  • cauliflower, 1 head, cut into bite sized pieces
  • bread crumbs, 2 cups (I use gluten free)

SAUCE INGREDIENTS

  • cornstarch, 2 tsp whisked in 6 TBS water
  • honey, 6 TBS
  • garlic, minced, 6 teas
  • onion powder, 1 teas
  • coconut liquid aminos, 1.5 TBS (or soy sauce, low sodium)
  • sriracha sauce, 1/2 TBS

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400F (or don’t preheat if using New Wave Convection oven)
  2. Whisk the ‘flax egg replacer’ & set aside.
  3. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Dip cauliflower in flax egg & shake off excess.  (If too much flax egg drips onto the bread crumbs, the crumbs won’t stick to the cauliflower.  If the crumbs won’t stick, roll the cauliflower in the crumbs and gently press them onto the cauli.
  5. Bake for 15 – 20 min. till golden brown and crunchy.
  6. While cauliflower is baking, create the sauce.
    1. In a small bowl, completely dissolve the cornstarch in water.  Set aside.
    2. In a small saucepan, whisk the rest of sauce ingredients together.
    3. Bring to a gentle boil.  (It should only take a few seconds.)
    4. Stir cornstarch water again and add it to saucepan.
    5. Stir until simmering.  (Stir so cornstarch doesn’t clump.)
    6. When sauce is thick (about 2 min), cool sauce for a few minutes.
    7. Drizzle or toss sauce over cauliflower.
    8. Garnish with fresh chopped scallions.

Here’s my great tasting, dairy free ‘Garlic Chive Cream Cheese‘.  I hope you enjoy this fantastic dish as you keep creating ‘healthy habits for life!

Garlic Chive Cream Cheese – dairy free, high protein deliciousness!

30 Saturday Dec 2017

Tags

, , ,

My life changed when I discovered this amazing way to make dairy free cream cheese!  I’ve been dairy free for nearly 20 years now and have been missing the creamy deliciousness of cheese!  I’ve tried every alternative on the market and they just don’t do it for me.  I think it’s the texture… or maybe the knowledge that most of them don’t have much protein in them.  Empty carbs aren’t my idea of a good time.  I worked too hard to overcome candida and really serious hypoglycemia issues!  15 years ago I used to faint and have hypoglycemic seizures with 26 blood sugar.   I now have perfect 90 fasting blood glucose and won’t let that go– for anything!

Here’s my latest creation!!

IMG_6851

The texture starts out a little soft, but will thicken up in the fridge.

IMG_6843IMG_6845Instead of grain based bread, I love to eat my sweet potato bread slices. Drenched in olive oil and sprinkled with Himalayan sea salt, they’re ready for roasting!

This is a great, low glycemic – high protein, vegan snack!  I feel so good when I eat these!  Want some?IMG_6849

RECIPE

Here’s the Life Protein I use.  It’s the only brand I trust & recommend.
