The cooking school that my church sponsored gave me this recipe. The recipe is from the Lifestyle Center of America. Now that the weather is warming up, it is time to make some salads. Here is a healthy salad and I included the nutritional yield.

Peas and Peanut Salad

3 c Peas (uncooked)
1 c Jicama (chopped up) is a root plant normally found near potatoes or onions *
1/2 c Onion (chopped)
1/2 c Lightly roasted, unsalted peanuts
1/4 c Lightly roasted sunflower seeds (salted or unsalted)
1/4 c Raw pepitas (green pumpkin seeds)
1/2 t McCormick “salt-free” garlic and herb seasoning
1/2 t Onion Powder
1/4 t Garlic Powder
1 c Tofu Sour Cream
4 leaves leafy lettuce, red or green
1 stem green onion, fringed for garnish

1. Rinse frozen peas in a colander and drain well. Pour peas out into a serving bowl.
2. Add vegetables, peanuts, and seeds.
3. Mix seasoning together and stir into mixture.
4. Add sour cream and stir all together until well-mixed.
5. Border with leafy lettuce and garnish with green onion.

*Jicama- The root’s exterior is yellow and papery, while its inside is creamy white with a crisp texture that resembles raw potato or pear. The flavor is sweet and starchy, reminiscent of some apples or raw green beans, and it is usually eaten raw, sometimes with salt, lemon, or lime juice and chili powder. It is also cooked in soups and stir-fried dishes.

This quarter the church I attend has an excellent guide to begin each day. The quarter’s focus is on Health and Healing. It is available online and the lessons will impact your health and show you how the Creator made us all to live in abundance and joy. Please take a few minutes and start applying these simple lessons into your life. We are not made to die miserable deaths of obesity, heart disease, and cancer. We are not made to be dependent on pharmaceutical drugs. The Creator made everything that your body needs for good health. Click here to read today’s lesson and bookmark the page so you can start your days reading about Health and Healing.

Contact me if you want to find out how to get a booklet copy of the guide.

Do you want the right to supplement with effective natural healing products that help you stay healthy and avoid disease? Your rights are in jeopardy. The big pharmaceutical industry is trying to control what you can take. The FDA and big pharma are in the disease care business and do not want people using dietary supplements that promote wellness. Here is a paragraph that shows protections are already in place to keep unsafe products off the market.

“The FDA already has broad powers to
remove dangerous products. This legislation would enable the FDA to ban
anything if they have only “reasonable probability” that
there is a serious problem with a product. This kind of discretionary
authority gives the FDA tyrannical power to ban supplements, a power
they have not hesitated to use when they’ve had it.

Recall that in the early 1990s, the FDA declared that many of the
supplements used today, including CoQ10, selenium, and chromium, were
inherently dangerous. The public’s revolt against the FDA’s absurd
proclamation led to passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and
Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994. This is the law that protects consumers’
rights to access low-cost dietary supplements. The Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA) would largely eviscerate the protections afforded by DSHEA.”

One other important issue is the millions of people that make a living in the naturopathic health industry. Unemployment is still very high and regulating supplements now would cause further burdens on millions of people that make an honest living sharing health with people. I will fight for my rights to promote wellness and not be caught up in disease care.

Tax day for Americans is 15. April 2010 and 30. April 2010 for Canadians. Did you know having a home based business can help you save thousands on your tax burden each year? There are around 230 deductions available to me as a home based business owner. What are the requirements?

1) You need to keep records of your expenses. I keep an excel spreadsheet and log my business miles in a pocket planner.
2) You need to spend a few hours each week engaged in your business. Many of my team members gave up television and work from their computer a couple of hours in the evening after working their day job.
3) You need to attempt to be in profit.
Please check with your Internal Revenue Service websites for all of the pertinent information.

Here is a recipe that Hope for Health sent me. I made it tonight and it looks delicious. This takes about 30 minutes to prep and 90 minutes in the oven. Serves 8 people.

1-1/2 c. water
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. oregano
2 c. grated carrots
1 c. raw brown rice
1-1/2 c. tomato juice
1/3 c. dry bread crumbs
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 can (15 oz.) garbanzo beans, drained & rinsed
2 Tbls. Braggs Liquid Aminos
1 c. dry textured soy protein
I used Morningstar Griller Crumbles for my soy protein

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 2 1/2 quart baking dish with non-stick Olive Oil cooking spray. Make a layer of rice on the bottom of the dish, then a layer of textured soy protein, then garbanzo beans. Sprinkle oregano and basil over. Layer onion, bell pepper, and carrots. Combine tomato juice, water, and Braggs Liquid Aminos and pour over casserole. Sprinkle bread crumbs over top & cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours. Makes a healthy meal that has plenty of protein in it.

Dr. Chappell mentioned two terms on our weekly health conference recently. Osteoblastic is a term that means a bone forming cell in regard to cells being built up. Osteoclastic is the opposite condition and means bone cells are torn down. As we age, we should be aware of any habit or diet practice that promotes Osteoclastic cellular activity in our bodies.

1. I believe in God, and with His help I will make my life significant.
2. I will adapt to life immediately, completely and gracefully.
3. I will work, rest, exercise, play–every day.
4. I will work at a worthwhile job.
5. I will avoid undue fatigue.
6. I will laugh more every day.
7. I will form good habits of living, thinking, acting, speaking, and feeling.
8. I believe: that self-pity, suspicion, envy, jealousy and revenge are useless sentiments. That loyalty, courage and kindness are dependable sentiments; in them I will put my trust.
9. I will discount harmful emotional urges, avoid emotional orgies, and keep away from emotionally undisciplined people.
10. I will face facts, discount my likes and dislikes, and cultivate an objective point of view.
11. I will know myself, accept my liabilities, and cultivate my assets.
12. I will make clear-cut decisions and abide by them.
13. I do not expect to get precisely what I want in this world. I will not kick against the pricks of life. I expect trouble and have accepted inevitable difficulty, that I may be free to accept opportunity unhandicapped by a sense of difficulties.
14. I know that fear, anxiety and worry cannot hurt me. They threaten to destroy, but they possess no weapons other than the ones I give them. Even though afraid, anxious, and worried, I shall continue with my usual activities, knowing that fear is the normal stimulus to courage.
15. I choose to see the good aspects and meanings of life. I do not deny that ugliness and evil exist; I do not overlook them, but having seen them I choose to look for the good.
16. I know and will help others to remember that humanity is a vast reservoir of love, courage, helpfulness, strength and ability. I shall draw on it without limit to help others and myself.

Was watching a healthy cooking presentation recently and listened to the presenters describe why chicken is not the healthiest thing for us to eat. A poultry farmer can obtain the government certification of being a ‘free range’ poultry house as long as there is a door on the chicken house. Unless you see for yourself that the chickens you are eating are free range, you may want to avoid eating chicken.

Poultry farmers are in business to grow large chickens as fast as possible. Many poultry farmers give their chickens:
1) Arsenic to keep chickens from moving around so the chickens fatten up quicker.
2) Antibiotics to keep chickens from getting sick or diseased.
3) Growth hormones to speed up growth in the chickens.
If you ever visit a chicken house, you would see the chickens walking around in animal feces due to having arsenic in their food and you would have a hard time staying in the chicken house long because of the odor.

Is there an alternative to eating chickens? Yes. You can make a good tasting substitute and not have to worry about diseased animals. I was not able to get the exact measurements of the recipe the cooking show presenters gave but have a good idea the following will work.

1. Buy a Firm package of Tofu and freeze overnight. Thaw next morning if you will make this for your evening meal.
2. In a mixing bowl add:
1/4 cup of bread crumbs
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1/2 cup of yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup of whole wheat pastry flour
3. In a smaller bowl add:
1/2 cup soymilk
2 Tablespoons of Braggs Liquid Aminos or a Healthy Soy Sauce and stir wet mixture to blend.
4. Cut tofu strips to resemble a long chicken nugget. You should be able to get at least 8 strips.
5. Dip in wet mixture and saturate so the tofu strips will pick up the flavors then put in dry mix bowl and get all four sides breaded.
6. Place 2-3 Tablespoons of olive oil in skillet and fry on medium heat making sure you turn to get all four sides browned. Enjoy your new alternative to chicken nuggets.

God is so Awesome! I prayed this morning that HE would use me to help others. A man called about my health products and I am taking them to him and bringing some of my meatless meatloaf, some other recipes, and he wants to lose weight and get his blood pressure down with Alligin.

These habits are the way to achieve permanent weight loss. Don’t listen to the big companies telling you can eat pasta, pizza, cakes and cookies from their expensive program and lose weight. For the amount of money those quick fix companies charge you for one month of their meals, you can buy two months of all the organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes you want.

Learned some more great knowledge this past weekend. Friday I went to the first presentation of Dr. Doug Newton’s Trinity Creation Studies. Dr. Newton is a very effective presenter of scientific evidence, has an incredible display of archaeological items, and an incredible slide presentation showing many of the images that the Hubble Telescope has captured. Here is a statement on his website:

“It is my opinion that it takes less faith to believe in God and His intelligent design than to believe in Darwin and evolutionary theory. It is my hope and grand desire that following our presentation, when armed with scientific facts supporting intelligent design, that you, too, feel the same.”

The recent explosion of Mt. St. Helens in Washington State has provided scientists a laboratory for exploring how the earth can create layer upon layer of earth in just a matter of 3 hours. The presentation Dr. Newton did about Carbon 14 and how archaeologists date artifacts also supports Creation Theory that the world was created in six days as described in Genesis. The earth changed violently during the Bible Flood and the flood was more than just a water event. Great earthquakes happened and all of life on earth was destroyed except for life that was on Noah’s Ark.

The most incredible presentation was the last one where Dr. Newton showed us many slides that are recent images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. There are infinite galaxies out there in space at the most distant points where evolutionists believe the universe should be empty according to their big bang theory. The fact that Venus rotates clockwise while all the rest of the planets rotate counter clockwise is also amazing.

Dr. Newton’s final section also showed us a huge black hole in the Orion constellation is amazing. As a born again Seventh-day Adventist Christian, I believe that Jesus is coming for a second time to take home believers that HE is the Son of God and that His Death at Calvary paid the price for my sin and all believers.

Today’s thoughts come from something that is bothering me. I watch very little television and only positive television programs are turned on in my home. The 3 channels I do watch are:

Three Angels Broadcasting

PBS

CNBC Business

I was exercising yesterday and I had seen the programs on the spiritual channel 3ABN so I tuned in to see what was happening in the business world. Something really disturbs me about the advertising of Nutrisystem and the claims they make. The claims are that you can lose weight and lower your blood sugar. My question is for how long with their system and approach. Is it a permanent change? My beliefs and education tend to think the Nutrisystem plan is a temporary solution. Do you want a permanent solution?

Whole Wellness Club offers a permanent solution. Dr. Chappell is our spokesperson and is a 39 year veteran Naturopathic Doctor. He recommends going to your local grocery store or farmers market and buying organic fruits and vegetables. If you cannot buy organic, buy regular produce and thoroughly wash the plants.

The permanent solution is that the plants are living with nutrients, minerals, enzymes, and vitamins. Your body will get the nutrition you need from the fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes. You cannot get fat on a vegetarian diet if you eat the right amount of food. Your body will signal that you are full when it has the nutrients from the living food from plants.

Nutrisystem is teaching you a temporary fix with the same kind of unhealthy foods that the overweight person has been consuming. You cannot  make a permanent change buying cookies, muffins, brownies, pasta, and cakes. The same amount of money you spend on one month of Nutrisystem will supply you with the best organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes for 2 months.

Studies have shown that a vegetarian diet lowers blood sugar, reverses heart disease, and will help you lose weight when incorporated with an exercise program that includes a 30 minute daily walk. Drinking one half  your ideal body weight in ounces of pure water each day will also help you lose weight.
