A New Start Here On WordPress

I just thought that I would move my blog over to wordpress because of more bells and whistles so here I am.  I got that new Blendtek high speed blender and am having tons of fun with it.  Yummy sunflower cheeses, easy to make crackers, green smoothies, and wonderful raw ice creams are just fighting for room in my tummy.  I just don’t have the ability to eat all the things that are so good because I just get too full that I can make now but it has been a true blessing.  I am going to give you my favorite green smoothie recipe but of course that will change day by day because that is how it all works.

 

1 ½ cup of water

A big handful of great weeds (malva, dandelion, and purslane) oh, don’t do this unless you know your weeds without a doubt

2 large curly kale leaves

1 frozen banana

1 small apple with seeds removed

About 1/3 cup of frozen mango

I also added the seeds from a cantalope I ate the day before for the nutrition but that is optional.

 

If you don’t positively know your weeds you can use other greens instead in their place.

 

I wish I could give you a sample but the taste is so sweet and after you drink this, which makes about a quart, other food is just an idea that you can choose to do without if you so wish.   I am committed to make a green smoothie of different fruits and greens for a full thirty days so I can form a firm habit of it.  I know my health will benefit greatly so it is worth the effort and it takes very little time.  If you would like to know what this is all about and why it would benefit you just get the book Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko.  A great read and she will inspire you to take control of your health!

 

 

 

Finally a post and a video.

MMMm… I don’t know what is going on here but it used to be that you could embed a video on your blog but I guess that is not happening now so I am going to give you this link to my youtube blog for this post. It is,

I have not posted for awhile because I guess I have just been too busy. The last few days I have been drying tomatoes because the paste type tomatoes are just now hitting farmers market in quantity. I have been enjoying the summers bounty with lots of salads made with heirloom tomatoes, Chinese cucumbers, red bell peppers, onions and greens. I plan on greatly enjoying the summer produce until hopefully this late fall I will be ready for more of the root type veggies. I wish I could have this variety all year but that is just not how nature works now sense the fall so I am determined to make the best of it.
The time has finally come and I ordered my high speed blender. The thoughts of green smoothies everyday, raw nut butters and seed cheeses are just dancing around in my head. I had made up my mind to get a Waring Xtream but that morning I was going to order I got an email from Nomi Shannon saying that she had some Blend-tek blenders for 100 dollars off so I ordered one of those. I think that I will be very happy with it. I am also looking forward to saving money by making my own raw nut butters and tahini. I hope the next post will not be as long coming as this one and may all of you be blessed.
