WALDORF PATE for Thanksgiving Turkey Dip

Cut into finger food strips:  Yellow and Orange Bell Peppers, Carrot Sticks, Celery Sticks, sliced broccoli, olives, Radish, Purple Cabbage.  And arrange to make the colorful turkey tail. Use a yellow pepper chunk head and neck, sesame seeds for the eyes, yellow triangle for the beak,  red pepper carved into a tear drop for the turkey gobble neck.

Wild Mushroom Stuffing

This raw stuffing recipe will complete your raw food holiday menu. If

you have a dehydrator, or an oven that can be set to 100º F, this dish

will be even more authentic in both taste and appearance. Otherwise,

serve your raw food stuffing as a side dish or over lettuce.

To begin, marinate in dehydrator or warm oven in a metal bowl for at least 15 minutes:

1 cup fresh mushrooms, chopped

1/2 cup celery, chopped

1 onion, chopped

2 clove minced garlic in the following marinade :

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup braggs

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

In a bowl of warm water, reconstitute 1 cup of dried mushrooms. Set aside.

Next, blend in a food processor:

1 cup raw walnuts

1 cup raw sunflower seeds

1 cup raw pumpkin seeds

When the mixture has taken on a fine texture, add to it:

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tsp chopped thyme

1 ½ tbsps fresh rosemary, chopped finely

2 tbsps fresh chopped parsley

½ tsp dried sage

1-2 drops each of doTerra Rosemary, Lemon, Thyme EO

Pulse until it begins to come together, like a nut pate. Add a little of the mushroom liquid to get it moving. Mix this with:

1 ½ cups grated carrot

3/4 cup zucchini, chopped into cubes

Add the marinated mushroom mix, using or reserving liquid depending on how “wet” you want the stuffing to be.

Next, coarsely chop:

1 cup dried mushrooms (variety or shitake), reconstituted in warm water & patted dry

½ cup pecans

½ cup raisins

Add the chopped mushrooms, nuts and raisins to the stuffing, chopping in some additional parsley sprigs.

Adjust Salt and Pepper

Dehydrate or place in a warm oven in a large metal bowl (take out your racks and use your dehydrator as an oven) 30 minutes or until warmed.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Stuffed Mushrooms

1/3 C pine nuts

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/3 C fresh cilantro, packed leaves, chopped

1/3 C fresh basil, packed leaves, chopped

1 T lemon juice

1 C tomato, chopped

2 T Braggs or to taste

1 drop doTerra Rosemary EO

Put all ingredients into a food processor, except the tomatoes, and pulse chop several times. Stop to scrape down the sides and repeat. Add the tomatoes and continue to pulse chop until just blended. Keep a texture to a pesto, it should not be a puree. Remove stems from mushrooms and stuff the filling into the cap of the mushroom. Place on a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate at 105 degrees for 2-4 hours.

~~~~~~~~~

APPLE-BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

10 apples, cored

1 lg. butternut squash, peeled

2 oranges, peeled

1 lemon, peeled

1 med. red onion, peeled

3 C almond milk

1-1/2 C pumpkin seeds

1 bunch parsley

1/4 C tarragon, dried

2 drops each doTerra Lemon EO and Wild Orange EO

• In a vitamix blender, combine all ingredients and process thoroughly, and allow to gently warm on the stove or in the mixer.

~~~~~~~~~~~

SWEET POTATOES

2 – 3 sweet potatoes (or yams)

1 C coconut, dried

2 apples

1/4 C ginger root

4 lemons juiced

2 oranges, juiced

1 C walnuts, chopped fine

2 drops each of doTerra Wild Orange EO and doTera Lemon EO (variation: doTerra On Guard EO)

• Chop sweet potatoes, apples, and ginger, and run through Champion juicer with blank plate. (Alternatively, grate sweet potatoes, apples, and ginger).

• Remove mixtureto a large bowl. Add shredded dried coconut, lemon and orange juices, and chopped walnuts.

• Mix thoroughly

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHAMPAGNE REJUVELAC

To make champagne rejuvelac the rejuvelac must be covered with a tight fitting lid during fermentation. In this way, CO2 gas created during fermentation remains in the finished drink, causing bubbles.

1 C whole millet

1 T raisins

• Sprout millet for 24 hours, then rinse and drain well.

• In a mortar, lightly pound the millet with a pestle, to bruise the grains.

• Place the sprouted millet in a large jar.

• Fill the jar no more than 2/3 full with fresh spring water (approx. 4 C)

• Add 1 T raisins.

• Tightly close the jar with an airtight lid.

• Ferment for 2 to 3 days, shaking the jar gently once each day.

Strain.Chill.

Variation: Add 2-3 drops of one doTerra Essential Oil of choice (Lemon, Lime, Wild Orange)

Millet is most suitable for making Champagne rejuvelac as it produces a slightly more sour taste than do other grains, providing for a more champagne-like flavor.

Key Lime Pie

Macadamia Crust

2 cups raw macadamia nuts

1 cup shredded, unsweetened dry coconut

1 Tablespoon lime zest

2 Tablespoons lime juice

Seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean pod, or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 drop doTerra Lime EO

4 packets stevia (or can use more agave, however too much will make it runny)

2 tablespoons agave nectar

1 Tablespoon macadamia oil or other nut oil (olive is fine)- this is for oiling the pan. Can also use wax paper instead.

Place the nuts and the processor bowl in the freezer  to chill for a few  minutes. Once chilled, place all of the ingredients except the oil in the processor bowl and pulse until well combined, but still a bit chunky. Be careful not to over-process or the nuts will become oily. Lightly oil pie pan with removable bottom with the nut oil. If using pie pan without removable bottom, line the pan with overhanging plastic wrap, and skip oiling them.  Gently press dough into pie pan evenly. Wrap in plastic and place in freezer to chill until firm.

Lime Mousse:

5 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/2 cup lime juice + 2-3 drops doTerra Lime EO

1/4 cup packed lime zest (from 6 limes)

2 Tablespoons coconut butter

Seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean, or 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup agave nectar

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

5  packets stevia, or to taste (or can add more agave, however too much will make it runny)

In a food processor, process all the mousse ingredients except the stevia until smooth. Add stevia (or agave) to taste and process.

Use the overhanging edges of the plastic wrap to carefully pull pie crust from

the pie shell (or push the bottom if using a pan with a removable

bottom). Replace back in the pie pan and fill the pie shell with the mousse, cover with wax paper.

Fill the pie shell with the Lime mousse, cover with wax paper, parchment, or plastic wrap (surface will discolor while setting), and chill in the fridge or freezer.  Plastic wrap will peel off easily once it is set.

If you freeze the pie, let defrost for 15 minutes before serving.

Earth’s crammed with heaven

and every bush is burning

but only he who sees

takes off his shoes

–Elizabeth Barrett Browning

When I first started eating green smoothies, I had ONE recipe that I made religiously. Just getting something that GREEN into me was rather daring! Now I absolutely LOVE my greens and they are a major player in my diet!

My green smoothie guru is Victoria Boutenko www.rawfamily.com She teaches that our green drinks should consist of 60% fruit and 40% green.

I have since experimented with adding  wild greens, herbs, and doTerra Essential oils to my smoothies.  It has raised my green drinks to a whole new level! Many people who have objected to the stronger tasting greens like Kale, have liked adding Lemon Essential Oil… they say it helps with the “lawn clippings in a cup” taste, when they are first learning how to love the deeper greens.

By adding herbs and essential oils to my green drinks I have created a powerhouse of healing in each cup. A trifecta of health.

Herbs are the foods that your organs and tissues use to nourish and rebuild, and essential oils are the living medicine that addresses inflammation,  virus’, bacteria, and fungus.

Herbs that I have included:

Red Raspberry tea or Nettle tea for the liquid

Powdered Nettle

Fresh Comfrey Leaf

Mallow

Purslane

Plantain

Dandilion Leaf

Some of the essential oils that I have added (one or two drops is all it takes):

Wild Orange

Lemon

Citrus Bliss

On Guard

Cinnamon

Ginger

Peppermint

Lavender

Basil

Oregano

www.mydoterra.com/julia to order doTerra essential oils

So here it is! (drumroll)

As promised, my collection of green smoothies! Some are my own, and the rest are ones that I have collected in my journeys. I hope it will help you understand the 60%fruit/40% greens concept. These beautiful green smoothies help you alkalize, and are a helpful tool to breaking bad habits and putting healthy habits in their place.
Enjoy!

David Wolfe’s Best Smoothie Ever

This drink is created in two parts. First, create a tea. You can either make a sun tea (soak the herbs in the sun, in a glass container with pure water, for 24 hours) or heat pure water (do not boil) with the herbs in it for 20 minutes.

Ingredients to make 1.5 liters of tea

8 tablespoons of pau d’arco (South American herb a.k.a. lapacho; use dried powder or shavings)

3 tablespoons of cat’s claw (South American herb; use dried powder or shavings)

1 raw vanilla bean (diced)

1 handful of wolfberries (dried raisin-like fruit)

Now prepare the base. The base ingredients should be combined in a blender.

Ingredients for the base

20 cacao beans (preferably peeled; yes, this is raw chocolate)

10 raw cashews

3-5 tablespoons of maca (powdered root from Peru)

3-5 tablespoons of Agave cactus nectar (raw sweetener, similar to honey)

3 tablespoons of hempseed oil

3-5 tablespoons of coconut oil or butter

2-3 pinches of sea salt (preferably Celtic sea salt)

2-3 sprinkles of cinnamon

Strain away the herbs and pour the warm tea into the base. Once this has been mixed, blend until smooth. You should have a foamy, warm chocolate drink that will explode every taste sensation!

Make Your Own Green Smoothie Recipe

The best green smoothie recipe is the one you make yourself. It’s very easy and the options are endless. Just have a ratio of about 60% fruits and 40% greens (or try some wild greens such as nettles or dandelions) and your smoothie will always be delicious. If not sweet enough, add some liquid. You’ll hardly taste the greens.

Ingredients

1 bunch green leafy vegetable of choice (40% of total)

Fruit of choice (60% of total)

1-2 Bananas or 1 avocado to emulsify (make creamy)

ginger, lemon, parsley or, stevia to taste

Directions

Put all ingredients in your blender. Add clean water to cover all ingredients. Blend and drink immediately.

“When you have come to the edge of all the light you have, and step into the darkness of the unknown. Believe that one of the two will happen to you, either you’ll find something solid to stand on, or you’ll be taught how to fly!” ~Richard Bach

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.– Erica Jong

There’s something to be said for honest hard work, as well as living within your means.

The politics surrounding economic and social circumstances are just that: POLITICS. I’ll take a line from an 80′s song: “you really can’t rely on what they tell you for effect”. So what we have is politicians that present a “crisis” or “injustice” and then tell people that they are the solution. That’s a thinly veiled attempt at “congressman job security”, disguised as compassionate public service. The politicians that create victims and then offer to be their champions actually hold those people in contempt. We’re just pawns.

The Book of Mormon warned us about this tactic throughout (mostly) the book of Alma, and it wears many faces. The philosophy that “you were robbed” coupled with “take from the rich and give to the poor” has consistently failed over and over again throughout history. Not only has it failed, but has spun off into devastating wars and genocide when left unchecked. The old saying about “teaching a man to fish” is not a cliche, it’s an axiom.

Ezra Taft Benson talked about this in the context of the Atonement: “The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of the people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.” (I spoke this quote, by the way, as a “guest minister” in a packed Detroit Baptist church. Nobody called me a racist, or even disagreed with me.)

That pretty much eliminates 90% of the victim mentality that’s circulating around the world today. Our nation is such a nation of opportunity. I didn’t finish college because I ran out of money. My skills and education came from free resources, like libraries and the internet. Anyone, and I really mean Anyone, can avail themselves of a huge amount of information and education and skill-building so long as they are motivated enough to go get it.

Dad once told me “the train has been stopped, it’s up to you to rob it”.

People that have built themselves from the ground up, played by the rules and lived within their means find it VERY hard to swallow the notion that other people have been “put down by the man”. It may have worked a few decades ago, but there’s just too much opportunity for self development and success out there to make the out-dated racial politics stick anymore.

The people that are the true racists are the ones that tell the “victims” that they’re too weak and simple to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and build their own success. They view people as special groups that are at a disadvantage and are incapable of anything great or exceptional. The Gospel of Jesus Christ doesn’t see it that way. Individuals are free to build their lives as they see fit.

People have it within themselves to do great things, and no one can do those things for them. That’s my $0.02.

Love,

Your Brother

“I watched prairie dogs every day, rise before the sun, stand with their paws pressed together facing the rising sun in total stillness for up to 30 minutes,” says Williams. “And then I watched them at the end of the day take that same gesture 30 minutes before the sun goes down they would press their palms together in perfect stillness. I don’t mean to anthropomorphize, but when you look at a creature that has survived over the millennium begin and end each day in that kind of stance, it causes one to think about one’s own life and speed and rapidity in which we live.”

When I first started my raw foods journey, I found the easiest way to get raw foods into me was to blend them. I was making soups and lots of fruit shakes. At the time, I was craving spinach and coconuts. I tried putting them together in my blender with an orange and surprisingly it was really good! At first I thought it was a little wierd, but later learned that it was just perfect! I will be forever grateful to the research that Victoria Boutenko put into Green Drinks and her book “Green For Life” . It totally changed the way I looked at my living food diet, and now I drink a variety of green drinks everyday! I love them!

Stay Green!
