I cook the onions and peppers in some oil. Then I add shredded zucchini or cabbage and stir fry it around for awhile. Then I add the eggs which I have stirred in a bowl with water and sea salt, kelp and dulse. I just cook it with the lid on, and either scramble it or fold it over. Since I can't have cheese, I just serve it without. It's a great way to get some veggies in first thing in the morning. When Larry cooks it he uses bite-size chunks of squash. I like it both ways.Vi Lundgrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05520949386775149137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794973402328713154.post-65130428588268935932010-04-25T17:47:00.000-07:002010-04-25T18:26:21.883-07:00Recipes!Sorry it has taken me so long to do this. I have a ton of recipes - some I've tried, some I haven't... If you go onto Erleen Tilton's website she has some really great cookbooks that you can purchase. I have several of her books - you are more that welcome to come and take a look at them. I don't want to overwhelm you - maybe try a new recipe every week or something.<br /><br /><strong>Cashew Cream</strong><br />I know it sounds gross, but this is one of my favorites<br />1C. raw cashews (can find in the bulk foods at sprout's)<br />1/2 C. water<br />2 TBS. Pure maple syrup<br />1 tsp. vanilla<br />1/4 C. olive oil<br /><br />Mix all ingredients in blender (except oil) until smooth - then drizzle in oil while blender is still going. The oil helps thicken it up. *You can use this cream on anything you want. It is sweet and delicious. My favorite is to top sliced apples with cashew cream and some granola. Makes a great breakfast or snack, and kids love it.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Peanut Butter Pancakes</strong><br />1 1/4 C. white whole whear flour<br />2 TBS. ground flax seed (can get at sprouts)<br />2 TBS. light brown sugar<br />2 1/2 tsps. baking powder<br />1/2 tsp. salt<br />1 1/3 C. 1% lowfat milk (I'll probably use 2% because that is what I buy)<br />1/4 C. creamy peanut butter (or almond or cashew butter)<br /><br />Whisk the flour, flax seed, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Beat the milk, egg, and PB in a med. bowl until smooth; add to dry ingred. and beat just until well moistened.<br />Spray hot griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Spoon batter by 1/4 cupfulls. Flip once. Makes about 12 med. pancakes.<br />*I have not made these yet, but I have tasted them and they are very good. There is just a hint of PB (it's not overpowering) and it adds some extra sweetness. You don't even need syrup - you could carry them around for snacks.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Tacos</strong><br />1 TB olive oil<br />1 onion minced<br />1 small bell pepper, diced<br />1 med. zucchini, grated<br />3 garlic cloves, pressed<br />3 TBS homemade seasoning (I don't have this - so I would use Lawry's or something)<br />1/2 lb. extra lean ground meat<br />2 cups cooked beans<br />2/3 cup corn<br />1 C. cooked red quinoa (sprouts)<br />1 C. cooked millet (sprouts)<br />1 1/2 C. tomato sauce<br />2 tsps. sucanat (sugar)<br />2 tsps. apple cider vinegar<br />salt to taste<br />Sautee onion and pepper in olive oil. Add zucchini, garlic and spices, cook for 1 min. Add meat and brown. Add the remaining ingred and simmer about 10 min. or until sauce is thickened.<br />* I have not tried these yet, but my S-I-L has told me they are delicious! She said they are even better the next day. I was going to make them last week, but zucchinis are not quite in season and I didn't feel like paying $3 for one zucchini. Will try soon!<br /><br /><br />These nest recipes I found in the May issue of the Family Fun magazine - and they are actually good for you! I plan on tryin some this week! (Okay, seriously check out their website for some other really good recipes that could be easily adapted to healthier)<br /><br /><strong>Fruit and Nut Energy Bar</strong><br />To make apple-pecan bars, grind 1/2 cup pecans in food processor fitted with a steel blade. Transfer the nuts to a bowl, then process 1/3 cup each pitted dates ( I detest dates so I may try raisins) and dried apples. Add the nuts and a pinch of cinnamon, then process until the mixture holds together when squeezed. Divide into six portions, mold each into a bar and wrap in plastice wrap. Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Makes 6 bars.<br />Apricot version - dates, dried apricots and almonds<br />Cherry Tart - dates, dried cherries and walnuts<br />PB snaps - dates (2/3 cu), peanuts, 1/4 tsp. vanilla and a pinch of salt.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Quinoa salad with Apples and Almonds</strong><br />1 C quinoa, rinsed<br />2 C water<br />2TBS honey<br />1/4 C lemon juice<br />1/2 tsp coarse salt<br />3 TBS olive oil<br />1 C peeled diced tart apple<br />1 C finely chopped celery<br />1/3 C golden raisins<br />1/3 C finley chopped parsley<br />1/2 C coarsley chopped almonds, toasted<br />Coarse salt and pepper<br />In a med. size pan, combine the quinoa and water, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 min. Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl, stir, and let it cool completely.<br /> In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, and salt. Gradually whisk in the oil until blended.<br /> Add the apple, celery, raisins, parsley, and almonds to the quinoa and toss the ingred. well. Add the dressing and toss once more to coat the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temp. Serves 6-8<br /><br /><br />More to come!!!Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02248305190360369972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794973402328713154.post-41778697731258679392010-04-20T21:52:00.000-07:002010-04-22T17:48:48.572-07:00Week 2Okay, I'm reposting the points because I posted them wrong the first time.

Its a 9 week program if followed you can be running a 5k at the end of the 9 weeks. Its not every day it recommends 3x week. I did my first work out today and honestly I loved it!! Its a combination of walking and running. I downloaded a pod cast to listen to when I am doing it. <br />Check it out: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml<br />The place where I downloaded my pod cast at: http://gonicoleyourself.blogspot.com/2008/06/couch-to-5k-podcast-page.htmlKellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09721157341334233767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794973402328713154.post-31291843494840575542010-04-13T11:43:00.000-07:002010-04-13T11:51:17.959-07:00Curb CravingsI wanted to share this product that has helped me with food and sweets cravings. It is actually fish oil in the form of lemon swirl. I promise you it tastes like lemon pie filling. If you love that flavor like I do it is called <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Barlean's</span> Organic Oils; Omega Swirl; Lemon Zest; Fish Oil. Take a TBS. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">every time</span> you have cravings, so maybe 2-4 times a day and since it is cod liver oil it will also help with whatever ails you. I found this at Nature's Finest on Brown/Gilbert it is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">pricey</span> but I like it a lot.Kristelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01483047470049554845noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794973402328713154.post-831235002439479302010-04-12T22:24:00.000-07:002010-04-12T22:28:40.086-07:00Healthy Snack IdeaQuinoa Fruit Pudding<br /><br />1 cup organic quinoa<br />2 cups boiling water<br />1/2 cup dried cherries<br />1/2 cup dried cranberries<br />1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice<br />2 bananas<br />1 tsp grated orange peel (or 2 drops orange essential oil)<br />1 tsp vanilla<br />1/2 tsp cinnamon<br /><br />Add quinoa to boiling water and simmer 12 minutes.

So however you have interpreted the rule - this is the new rule so please adhere to it. No desserts, candy, jam, syrup, etc. However, you need to start reading labels. If there is "sugar" (HFC, evaporated cane juice, corn syrup, etc) in the first 2 ingred. of the product then it is considered a sugar food and you are only allowed 6 grams/6 tsp. per day - this includes artifical and natural sweeteners. Debatably there are natural sugars that are better for you - but we still shouldn't be eating them in large quantities - this rule will help to curb that.<br /><br /> On your "free sugar" day you can eat as much as you want. But I warn you that if you go without sugar for a while and then try and eat a bunch all in one day you'll make yourself sick - I know from experience - haha. The exceptions are ketchup and salad dressing (and of course unprocessed fruit). Let me know if this makes sense or if you have any more questions.

April is on bed rest, Kristel just had a baby, we have another expecting mom, and some people just have other physical limitations. If for some reason your body cannot handle strenuous movements - obviously don't do it, haha. Do something for 30 min., that you feel good about, that will take the place of exercise each day. Exercise your brain - plan on reading for 30 min. (in addition to the other 15 min). There are videos called "Sit and Be Fit". They are a little corny, but hey, they work - and most everyone could do them. Stretching, yoga, I know there are others... Check out some exercise videos on different subjects from the library. When you can start exercising again -then do. And for everyone else on here without physical limitations - you are expected to exercise! :)Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02248305190360369972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794973402328713154.post-9056219999365911112010-04-07T15:36:00.000-07:002010-04-07T15:37:13.391-07:00How to PostWhen you log in to the blog there should be a tab in the upper right corner that says "New Post" - just click on that and you will be able to post whatever you need to.

There is something really nice about knowing exactly where and from whom your produce and other food has come from (especially with all of the e-coli and other outbreaks from non-local growers.). It's the next best thing to getting it from your own garden. The market we go to has a vendor that has sugar free jellies and fruit butters made just from the fruit. So it's not completely sugar free, but it has no added sugar on top of what's already in the fruit. There stuff is DELICIOUS. There's also usually a honey vendor, so you can pick up another sugar free goody. It's every Friday from 9-12ish at Center and University. They've recently gotten some other new vendors too that have free range eggs and grass fed meat. So you could get most of your basic shopping done there while you're picking up all those fruits and veggies we're supposed to be eating :)<br /><br />Also, I'm sure most of you have seen this at some point, but a few months ago I saw for the first time a package with the ingredient "evaporated cane juice". This is a fancy way of saying "sugar". I see it mostly on organic and all natural foods. I just wanted to throw that out there.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794973402328713154.post-9405104136871058952010-04-07T09:57:00.000-07:002010-04-07T10:02:24.936-07:00Keeping Fruit Fresh!<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We will all be eating more fruit for the next little while, hopefully longer, but how do you keep it from going bad before you get to it?
