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

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

Tags

, , , , ,

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.

honey garlic cauli 2

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!

IMG_6838

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.

Happiness in our Thought Life!

20 Thursday Jul 2017

Tags

, , ,

I took some notes from this video I watched.   (by Barb & Ray Madorin & Heather Chastain)

 

WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?

  1. Who you are is enough
  2. How quickly do we replay negative feedback?
    • How often do we disbelieve the good comments?
  3. Embrace the things that make you, you!!
    • Dismiss the rest to get peace!
    • Never think of an unpleasant thing you don’t want to happen, for your thoughts direct the expression of your life!!
    • Build a thought pattern that will guide your expression of happiness.
    • One thought won’t make a happy person, any more than one tree makes a forrest.
    • One happy thought will attract other happy thoughts and soon you’ll find more happy thoughts that crowd out the rest.
    • Our thoughts control everything!
    • Direct our thinking in ways to trust ourselves and our inner voice!
  4. book: mayo clinic guide to stress-free living
    • To gain happiness, you must learn to enjoy that which you have!
    • It’s not how much you have, it’s how you think about what you have!
    • Your happiness is dependent upon the service you give to others.
    • Create the habit of creating the happy thoughts!!

 

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

  • What if in 5 years from now, you could be making 1/2 million a year?
  • How often do you go to see your family?
  • What if you had a significant amount coming in each month and you could go whenever you wanted?
  • Can you see yourself walking on that plane?
  • When someone says, “I’d like $3000 a month!”, I don’t concentrate on rank.
    • How much money will I have and how will it make a difference in our lives?
    • How many will I touch this year?
  • To help others, we need to look inside and be at peace with who we are.

Buckthorn Bark Helps the bowels & liver (especially when mixed with 8 other herbs)!

03 Monday Jul 2017

buckthorn bark image

Here’s the purest form of Buckthorn Bark I’ve found that’s combined with 8 other synergistic herbs!

History

Buckthorn bark is peeled off plants and dried for 1-2 years before being used as a mild (but highly effective) laxative. The longer the bark is dried, the milder its actions.  Buckthorn Bark was listed in both the United States Pharmacopoeia & British Pharmacopoeia.  Some great components in Buckthorn Bark include

  • crystalline glucoside (frangulin),
  • anthraquinones like: emodin, Aloe-emodin, rhamnicoside, frangula-emodin, alaterin, chrysophanol, & rein
  • flavonoid glycosides,
  • resins
  • tannic acid.  4

3 Reasons You’ll want to get Buckthorn Bark in Your Body Every Night!

1) constipation | hemorrhoids | fissures

  • Buckthorn Bark contains rhamnus frangula which increases the colon’s ability to spontaneously contract to push the fecal matter through your colon instead of remaining stationary and becoming impacted.  As your colon contracts more regularly, more frequent movements are produced. 3
  • Buckthorn Bark makes stools softer and gives them more volume to pass easily.  5
  • Buckthorn Bark affects the intestinal nerves to relieve constipation and ease evacuation of the bowels.  It helps to relieve pain and pressure, especially for people who have hemorrhoids, anal fissures or have had rectal-anal surgery.  2
  • The tannins in Buckthorn Bark allows hemorrhoids and anal fissures to heal more quickly because the softer stools pass more easily, without irritation.
  • Buckthorn bark is used to cleanse the colon in prep for gastrointestinal procedures. 3
  • Buckthorn Bark is effective in cases of chronic constipation and atonic constipation, which is caused by inadequate intake of fluids, poor diet or overuse of purgatives that result in loss of natural reflexes. 4
  • Buckthorn Bark is also used to ease abdominal bloating.

2) blood purification

  • Buckthorn Bark has been used as a ‘blood purifier’ and diuretic.

3) liver | gallstones

  • Buckthorn Bark stimulates the production of bile secretions, which promote healthy gallbladder and liver functions, helping with problems like cirrhosis, jaundice, hepatitis and gallstones.
  • It’s also used to help overcome parasites.

When Buckthorn Bark is combined with 8 other herbs, the synergistic effect is powerful!!  Here’s the purest form of Buckthorn Bark I’ve found that is already combined with 8 other synergistic herbs!

How Rhubarb Root is a great Body Cleanser- especially when it’s mixed with 8 other herbs!

24 Saturday Jun 2017

how rhubarb is a great body cleanser

Things that Make a Difference in How Well Rhubarb Root Works…

  • Rhubarb’s name is from the Greek verb, ‘to flow’.
  • Europeans have used Rhubarb Root medicinally since the 1200s.
  • By the end of the 1800s, it was clear that the medicinal characteristics of rhubarb are affected by the soil composition and climate, so it’s really important to purchase Rhubarb Root from a company which ensures proper soil composition & climate.
  • When Rhubarb Root is combined with 8 other herbs, the synergistic effect is powerful!!  Here’s the only Rhubarb Root I purchase because I trust its safety.

11 Reasons You’ll want to get Rhubarb Root in Your Body Every Night!

1) Rhubarb Root Helps Digestion, constipation & diarrhea!

  • When constipated, the colon is not spontaneously contracting, therefore fecal matter sits and builds in the colon causing the constipation. It’s the purgative actions of Rhubarb Root that will not only move the fecal matter but will also tone the colon so it contracts on its own more regularly.
  • The colon does not become dependent on the Rhubarb Root to contract, so once cleansed, constipation should not return.
  • It’s difficult for the contractions to completely clean the long and winding colon, therefore pockets of debris might be left behind.  This is when the astringent, tannin acid, comes after the purgative action and does a thorough wash of the colon.  It removes any left over pockets of fecal matter or infectious bacteria.
  • It gives us smoother bowel movements!  The A-factors (or anthraquinones) in Rhubarb Root act as a time released healthy laxative which is smoother than other laxatives.
  • Emodin (found in Rhubarb Root) is metabolized by the large intestine’s gut flora to help absorption, secretion, motility & peristalsis without affecting the stomach or duodenum.  1  
  • It’s helped GI bleeds by eliminating blood, bacteria and toxins.  2 , 6, 7

2) Rhubarb Root aids in weight loss!

  • It aids weight loss by dramatically increasing the rate the human burns fat
  • It optimizes metabolism by improving circulation.  The copper and iron in rhubarb stimulate the production of new red blood cells, which boosts metabolism.

3) Rhubarb Root is Antimicrobial!

  • Rhubarb’s anthraquinone has been used as antifungal 16 , 17 and molluscicidal 18 agents.
  • Rhein, from anthraquinone, has in vitro antimicrobial activity against a wide variety of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. 3, 17, 19

4) Rhubarb Root Helps Ulcers (Helicobacter pylori)!

  • Rheum emodi extract was found to inhibit ‘in vivio’ all strains of Heliocobacter pylori (both sensitive and resistant) at a concentration of 10 mg/mL.  The H-Pylori didn’t develop any resistance to the Rhubarb Root after 10 times even though they usually acquire resistance to Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin after 10 passages.  (25)

5) Rhubarb Root Helps the Kidneys!

  • Clinical studies have evaluated rhubarb extracts in patients with CRF and report reduced uremic symptoms and reduced blood urea nitrogen. 13 , 14
  • A number of animal studies have observed the effects of rhubarb in rats with Chronic Renal Failure. Rhubarb Root tannins produced an increase in glomerular filtration rate, decreased levels of uremic toxins, and increased blood flow to the kidneys. 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12

 

 

6) Rhubarb Root Helps us Avoid  Alzheimer’s!

  • Traditional Chinese medicine suggests rhubarb improves the memory in senile patients. 15  This is because it has vitamin K which plays a significant role in brain and neuronal health.  It can prevent the oxidation of brain cells & stimulate cognitive activity to help delay or prevent the onset of this disease.
  • In in vitro experiments, rhapontigenin exerted a dose-dependent protective effect on mitochondrial functioning against amyloid beta (1-42) neurotoxicity. 1 

7) Rhubarb Root Helps Menopause!

  • Rhubarb Root’s lindleyin significantly reduced the frequency and severity of hot flashes in perimenopausal women.  (25, reference 76)
  • Lindleyin has potential beneficial applications as selective ER modulators ‘in vitro’ (25, reference 77)

8) Rhubarb Root Helps Cancer Patients!

  • Apoptosis, as well as anti tumor action, has been demonstrated, and rhubarb extract has been suggested as an adjunct to chemotherapy. 2 , 3 , 4 
  • Rhubarb is anti inflammatory.  Rhubarb extract 20 mg/kg daily administered for 6 weeks to patients undergoing radiation therapy for cancer resulted in a reduction in radiation-induced lung toxicity in a randomized clinical trial. Evaluation of anti-inflammatory markers suggests that an anti-inflammatory action of rhubarb is responsible. 5

9) Rhubarb Root helps Bones!

  • The vitamin K in Rhubarb Root stimulates bone growth & repair.

 

10) Rhubarb Root helps the Heart!

  • It protects against cardiovascular conditions due to the high antioxidant content.

11) Rhubarb Root Helps the Liver!

  • In rats with induced cholestatic hepatitis, emodin caused a decrease in total bilirubin, improvement in the liver enzyme profile & liver regeneration. 20
  • 2 Other great things rhubarb does include anti platelet properties, 21 anti hypertensive effects, 22 anti inflammatory action, 23 and glucose homeostasis. 24

 

 

When Rhubarb Root is combined with 8 other herbs, the synergistic effect is powerful!!  Here’s the only Rhubarb Root I purchase because I trust its safety.
