I cook with superfoods and with a 9.5 pH Kangen water (alkaline water) from our Kangen water machine by Enagic; which I am a distributor of also. My goal is to re-educate you into better and over all wellness of your entire Being.
I will be blogging many of my recipes that have already been in that magazine for you all to have as a thank you to all who have supported me in this venture as a "jump off," for my cookbook that I have been working on diligently; stay tuned. Just about every Monday I do a meatless Monday on my Facebook page, "Each One Teach One," to help others out in their plant based venture which is a lifestyle not a diet. My goat is to show you as a guide that you can and should incorporate more plants into your daily intake to aid in your overall health. I am not here to convert anyone, for the choice is your in the end with anything you do in your life as your,"choice of free will;"bestowed unto by the Creator.
I have come to learn that many of your local family grocers do carry organic foods from local farmers. The fact is many of these farmers cannot afford to be certified with the larger companies such as The GMO Project; it is expensive. However, now there is a label, "Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) a non profit organization," that helps to small business farmers that I encourage you to get the word out to these local farmers, and local grocers to help in this food movement of eating real foods that are now labeled as "organic," and not GMO.
Here's a tip when purchasing organic foods. Make sure to read your labels. Turn that package or product around and look for a third party certifier. Please do not purchase products that only says USDA. The USDA is known to be in the pockets of companies who use GMO in their foods and plant production. Tehre are several companies out here that are third party certifiers that I do speak about and have given a list of on my Facebook page and also on my blog.
Note: Make sure to read up on the Astragalus on my blog,
before you consume it. Also, speak to a health provider to see if it is
right for you and that you do not have any allergies to this plant;
more reasons why I gave you options as alternatives. Within this recipe the sweetener is optional; however, I did use it and my choice was the agave nectar this time around. Coconut nectar is great for diabetics it has low glycemic levels. It is one of the most healthiest organic sweetener out here that is fill with nutrition from that might coconut; which has over 300 uses (coconuts). Get to know about and use the mighty coconut and you will see what I am saying.
