OOPS, NOW IT'S ALKALINE BERRY BANANA BREAD!

Has this ever happened to you? You decide to follow a super healthy recipe for, in this case, waffles. You have all the alkaline, or healthy ingredients for it, except for maybe the baking soda. So, you substitute and you add and subtract things. You take all the pictures in order to show the awesome recipe later.
 
 
And so, your new recipe adventure begins. Here are the ingredients I used to make waffles. That didn't work, and then I tweaked them to make them banana bread with berries.


ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS:


  • 2 CUPS ALMOND FLOWER
  • 1/4 CUP COCONUT FLOUR
  • 2 CHIA EGGS (SOAK 2 TBL SPOONS OF CHIA SEEDS IN 1/2 CUP OF WATER. WHEN IT IS THE CONSISTACY OF EGG WHITES IT IS READY)
  • 1 TBLSP. ORGANIC LEMON GRAPE SEED OIL (I USED WILDTREE, THIS INGREDIENT IS NOT NECCESSARY)
  • 2 TBLSP. COCOUT OIL
  • 1 CAN LITE COCONUT MILK
  • 1 TSP. CINNAMON
  • 3 TBLSP. RAW HONEY
  • 1/2 TSP. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
  • 1 PINCH HIMILAYEN SEA SALT
  • 2 RIPE BANANAS
  • 1 SHREDDED APPLE
  • 1 TSP SHREDDED LEMON PEEL

Pre- heat the oven at 350 degrees and set the timer for 1 hour. Turn on your favorite song and turn it up loud. The one I am listening to is Paul Simon Have a Good Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVwTbWmOsfw. I also am listening to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLcmtBA-W_s Put on your apron  ( If you don't have an apron, it's time to get one.) Here is my apron:
 Combine all ingredients and whisk with a fork. If it seems too watery add more coconut flour until it seems to be a good consistency. Pour into a baking banana bread pan, lined with parchment paper. Time may vary depending on oven. To know it is done put a knife in the middle. If the batter is done it will come right out without batter. Set the time and then relax. I didn't relax today, because it started off as waffles, and then I tried to make them pancakes. Then I perfected the ingredients, and now these are the ingredients for this banana bread. I wasn't gonna fail. I made it work for something! It worked for this!! I didn't get mad, I just turned up the music and made it a masterpiece. Sometimes we just need to do that. If you are always in the kitchen, your food becomes your art work. You share your art work with the people you love!! The people you love, encourage you and lift you up when they taste your goodness.


HOW TO PREPARE IT:

YOU HAVE TO GRAIT YOUR APPLE AND LEMON ZEST. JUST POUR IT ALL TOGETHER AND WHISK IT. IT'S THAT SIMPLE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE IMPOSSIBLE OF WHAT I WENT THROUGH. IT REALLY CAN BE EASY. HEALTH IS EASY. SOMETIMES WE ACCIDENTALLY MAKE IT DIFFICULT.

FRUIT INFUSED GREEN TEA


Green Teas Benefits make it an amazing healing drink. A good way to add even more benefits is by adding some of your favorite fruits to infuse into it. Here are some of the many benefits of Green Tea.

BENEFITS:



  • FIGHTS CANCER
  • PROTECTS AGAINST HEART DISEASE
  • LOWERS CHOLESTEROL
  • PREVENTS DIABETES
  • GIVES HEALTH TO YOUR SKIN
  • CONTAINS ANTIOXIDENTS
  • ANTI VIRAL AGENTS
  • PREVENTS BAD BREATH
HISTORY:


 If one were to study green tea in any detail, rather than finding a discovery of one story in history you will find many stories of how it was used. Green teas history has many different versions. After studying all of the different stories about Green tea, I saw how they first started using it over 3000 years ago. They say that the use of the tea leaves first originated in the southwest area of China. When they first discovered it they used it for chewing and eating, in just the same way coffee beans were used by the Ethiopians. They ate the coffee beans before they learned to brew it.

The real history of green tea dates back to the 8th century. when the method of steaming the leaves to release  their oxidation was discovered.  In the 12th century a new frying method called “fixing” the leaves was introduced.  Both of these processes resulted in teas that have the characteristic of an un-oxidized taste and appearance compared to modern day green teas. Today both processes are still in use.  Since those early days, as the popularity and production of green tea increased the methods of producing green tea has continuously evolved and improved.


HOW TO INFUSE FRUIT INTO YOUR GREEN TEA:

Just cut up your favorite fruit. I used pineapple, blackberries, oranges, and
raspberries. Pour some filtered water into a pan. Put a tea bag per cup of water. I used 4 cups of water and 4 tea bags. Pour the fruit into the water as well. Turn on the stove top and cook on med-high heat until it is almost at a boil. Then let steep. I steeped for 30 minutes. You can add a table spoon of raw organic honey if you need more sweet. I like mine iced, so I pour it into a pitcher and chill, or add ice.
 

 
You will find that your taste buds, and your health are fully taken care of. So drink up!!!!

ALKALINE CAULIFLOWER CHIA SEED TORTILLAS

 
 Are you ready for Delicious?
 
 
 
 
Oh boy! If you love to be in the kitchen as much as I do, and you love to cook, and create healthy meals then you've come to the right recipe blog! This was fun, and a bit of a challenge, but it worked. They are healthy and alkaline too! You are going to want to pre-heat the oven to 375. I would recommend having some parchment paper handy. In a separate cup, take your chia seeds and soak them in water until
they gel up to the consistency of egg whites.
You should have the amount of approximately 2 eggs. I was out of parchment paper so I brushed some coconut oil over the pan. You can use non-stick spray too if that's all you have. First you break up a head of cauliflower and put it in the food processor. I processed half, and then the other half. Pour it into a sauté pan, and cook it over medium heat. You don't need to add any oil. Just cook it until you see it turn a slight brown. Then set it aside and let it cool. Once it is cooled you will need to use a cheese cloth. Put small portions of the cauliflower into a cheese cloth and squeeze out all of the water. Believe it or not, there is a ton of water inside it.
This is not my photo

Get it as dry as possible. When finished with all of the batch you should see it looking more like a dough.  Mix it with the chia seed gel, and squeeze a lime into it. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. When the oven is ready, spoon out the mixture and spread to the desired size of tortilla you would like. Bake for 15 minutes. I had to do 2 batches. Pour a tbsp. of coconut oil into a sauté pan and cook to desired browning. Flip it and set onto a serving dish. Continue until you have finished with all of them. Fill them with desired filling. I used a delicious veggie quinoa filling with salsa and green onions.

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  •  1/2 cup filtered water
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  •  1 squeeze of lime
  •  1 tsp. Himalayan sea salt 
  •  1 tsp. Ground black pepper
  • 1 to 2 tbsp. coconut oil

    CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI MACARONI WITH CASHEW AND COCONUT MILK ALFREDO SAUCE

    It is completely amazing to make such a delicious Alfredo sauce. Knowing you are eating something that is perfectly healthy for you, and straight from nature, just how God intended us to eat. This is so simple and so good. My 3 boys ate it all up, and didn't even question the sauce. The benefits of cashews are: Cancer prevention, heart health, hair and skin health, bone health, good for the nerves, prevent gallstones, and weight loss. Cauliflower and broccoli also have great benefits. Some of those are: Cancer fighting properties, vitamins and minerals, and they are both very low in calories. Coconut milk benefits are pretty amazing too. Here is the awesome list: Helps maintain blood sugar, Keeps skin and blood vessels elastic and flexible because of the copper and the vitamin C, builds strong bones, prevents anemia, relaxes your muscles and nerves, helps control weight by filling you up with good fibers, decreases inflammation, lowers blood pressure, and aides in helping build your immune system. I could go on and on about how healthy this meal is with the garlic in it too. I do believe you get the degree of health this meal contains!
    Every time I find a good recipe I always think about the Vita-Meta-Vegimin episode on I Love Lucy. The part where she says, "It so tasty too!" Ok, now for the recipe:

  • 1-1/2 Cups Raw Cashews (soaked in water for 30 minutes to an hour)
  • 1-1/2 Cups water (fresh)
  • 1 can of Full-Fat Coconut Milk
  • Vegan broth seasoning, which is like Bouillon, but with clean ingredients.  
  • 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • Pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
  •  2 tbs of Nutritional Yeast

  •  
     
    INSTUCTIONS:
     
    1. Thoroughly blend all of the ingredients together
    2. Heat over medium heat stirring occasionally until hot
    3. Enjoy! Pour over steamed cauliflower and broccoli.
     
    This rich and creamy alkaline Alfredo sauce will satisfy your cravings for indulgence! The cashews and coconut milk pair up for a delicious flavor that is smooth and luxurious. And I have found out that the recipe is quite forgiving, too. You can adjust the cashews up or down for richness,  or use lite coconut milk in place of the water and coconut milk, and season to taste, you don't need to add the nutritional yeast although I like the flavor it adds, you can even add a squeeze of lemon for zing.

    CREAMY CASHEW RANCH

    I am telling you, you can have your ranch and eat it too!! It is easy to make and delicious too. There are many different recipes out there. The one that worked best for me is this:

    1 cup cashews, soaked for 3 to 4 hours in distilled or filtered water
    1/2 cup plus more boiled water, slightly cooled
    3 tbsp. lemon juice
    1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
    1/4 tsp. dill
    1/4 tsp. oregano
    1/4 tsp. onion powder
    1/4 tsp. garlic powder
    1 tbsp. Nutritional yeast
    1 tsp. cracked black pepper

    1 tsp. Himalayan  sea salt
    Add some fresh chopped parsley or chives (or dried) when finished blending

    Put all of the ingredients in a food processor except for the water. Begin processing and gradually pour the water in a steady stream until you reach desired consistency. 1/2 cup will make it thick, and a little more will thin it out to a salad dressing consistency. Depending if you want it for dip, or dressing.

    Enjoy!!
