The Official Report on the New Thanksgiving Menu Items

Posted on by

This year for Thanksgiving proved no different than in years past as we move toward healthier eating. I am so grateful I’ve found so many friends with the same choices in eating as we have chosen. I thought I’d take a minute and share some recipes our family enjoyed!

Yams!

Who doesn’t love yams! It’s a staple menu item at Thanksgiving. I roasted the yams in the oven for an hour until the yams were soft and the sugars were beginning to ooze out. I allowed them to cool slightly, and then peeled them and placed the meat in a pot. I added a little coconut oil, pink Himalayan sea salt, a little almond milk. Up to this point, I treat the yams like mashed potatoes except the coconut oil takes the place of butter, and the almond milk replaces the cow’s milk. I use a bit less of the salt. Then I add some pure maple syrup and mash. The exact measurements are to taste.

Cranberry Relish

So my family fell in love with the cranberry relish that had the 1 cup of sugar and tablespoon of jello in the mix. With my experience with sugar, I was not willing to continue making that recipe. I was so excited that one of my favorite healthy eating pioneers April Ashcroft.

This recipe is the answer to my searching for a wonderful cranberry relish that is healthy and nutritious and also tastes amazing. Unfortunately my apples weren’t very sweet, and this was the first time I tried this recipe. To add to the mix I wanted to have some orange flavoring, but the orange I picked from my tree wasn’t very sweet either. I thought I had added a few extra dates, but it wasn’t enough. I had to add a little raw agave nectar, and a small amount of stevia. I’m SO excited to have this wonderful recipe! Thank you April!!!

Coconut Whipped Cream

I have dreaded the holiday this year because I have not had dairy products for a very long time and I was afraid of the stomach ache I would have eating the pumpkin pie and whipped cream. But never fear! Several friends recommended whipping coconut cream. With the support of my dear friend Jennifer Dayley, I accomplished a new favorite! Here’s the scoop:

  • 1 can full fat coconut milk – I used Trader Joe’s Coconut Cream – chill can overnight in the refrigerator, do not shake can. Open can and scoop out just the cream on top. Be careful not to get any of the water portion. Place in a mixing bowl.
  • Whip with a little vanilla and sweetener, I used stevia. Some recipes also say to add a pinch of cinnamon.

I’ve been told it keeps well in the frig for a few days, but I don’t know that it will last that long.

My World Famous Pumpkin Pie

In the eyes of my husband… I found recipes that state I can use coconut milk to replace the evaporated milk, but I didn’t want to push my luck just yet. I made my revised recipe thus far which consists of using whole wheat pastry flour, and coconut oil instead of shortening. We prefer it now that way. I also used 1/3 coconut palm sugar and 2/3 evaporated cane juice. It was wonderful and my dear husband loves taking a picture of my pies.

 

As for the turkey, my husband loves turkey, me not so much. However, my husband has stopped eating all flesh except for fish, so for the past 2 years we have had a Tofurkey loaf with homemade mushroom gravy. I’m hoping to find a great loaf recipe soon that doesn’t use tofu, but that challenge can wait for another day.

I wish for you…

A wonderful holiday season, filled with love, good food, friends, family and gratitude! Thank you for the love and friendship you have blessed me with this past year and always!

Energy Work Clears Fears and More!

Here’s a blast to the past!

When I was a little girl, Bozo was very popular. I used to watch Bozo all the time. I was about the age of the children sitting in the audience. I enjoyed the cartoons, and wished I could be at an event such as this, but then Bozo enters the set and I would feel extremely uneasy! I hated Bozo! I was afraid of him and didn’t realize this was an emotion I was experiencing, after all, he was in the TV, and not being mean or threatening in any way. Everyone loved Bozo.

Why did I fear Bozo?!

It wasn’t until I was 43 years old and experiencing my first Circue de Soleil performance. Sitting in the audience, the bigger than life, elaborately costumed clowns came out and I wanted to leave screaming. I became very uncomfortable even being up in the stands. I realized at that time what I had known deep inside all my life… I had a fear of clowns! Which explains why my 4th birthday was not as fun as one would expect – my mother had arranged for a clown to come with his Merry-Go-Round.

Enter Energy Healing…

Understanding this fear, I avoided clowns until I was introduced to Energy Healing – and in particular, the Carolyn Cooper SimplyHealed Method®. I don’t recall even addressing having the fear. All of a sudden I no longer was afraid of clowns! There wasn’t even the hint of apprehension. This proves the point that when working with energy, issues are cleared whether they are spoken or unspoken! It’s truly wonderful no longer having this fear controlling my life!

What are YOU ready to release?

Being Proactive with your Health… Priceless!

In the midst of so many people losing their health care or hearing the predictions on the radio this morning that say we will lose our doctor because many doctors will leave the profession, and there will be so many people wanting a doctor that it will be extremely difficult to get in to see a one, my mind was quickly calmed by 3 important preventative points to keep yourself healthy for many years without the need to be seen very often by a doctor:

1. Eat a Healthy Diet!

the SALAD

 

A diet RICH in raw greens, vegetables, healthy grains, vegan proteins, raw nuts & seeds and soured foods like homemade sauerkraut, kimchee, water kefir provide the high octane fuel your body needs to rejuvenate the cells. Find some of my favorite recipes HERE

2. Exercise!

Find an exercise that you enjoy. I love running, riding my bike, hiking or even walking through the park or on the beach boardwalk. When the weather gets nippy, I enjoy walking in the mall. Have some hand weights at home, they’re not very expensive… they make it easy to bring your heart rate up if you need to stay home for your exercise routine. 30 minutes a day at the very least will improve your blood circulation. This is important in that the flow of blood and oxygen heals your body, and will help tone muscles to prevent injuries to your joints. Isn’t this picture cute of one of my grandsons running his first triathlon! He’s wearing a floaty swim suit, and his helmet from the bicycling leg of the race. Such fun memories!

3. Regular Energy Healing sessions!

As a practitioner, I have realized the importance of maintaining the energy system and continuing in the process of releasing the inherited negative DNA emotions that continue to come forward as the body becomes ready to release them. I have noticed for myself the difference in my own health when I began having regular energy healing sessions… allergies that plagued me and caused secondary infections are gone. Depression is gone. I rarely catch a cold or flu and the indigestion that was becoming a daily occurrence is gone. I have confidence in my healthy body and in all other aspects of my life. That’s a great feeling! Pain or illness in your physical body is a sign of negative emotions trapped that the body is alerting you to. Read here what other people have said about having sessions.

Make the Monthly Group Call a habit!

A real easy way to be proactive in your health is to attend the monthly Group Energy Call! It’s an extremely affordable value at $35 for a call, and even more affordable when there’s a promotion! However, it doesn’t matter what the topic is each month, many issues both spoken and unspoken are cleared during a session.

 

I would love to get to know you!

Here’s a tidbit about me… I struggled through a very negative childhood, and carried those negative emotions throughout my adulthood until I discovered energy healing and was able to release those emotions that were causing severe illness. I am now enjoying my good health and plan on having a great quality of life for many, many years to come! Won’t you join me?

What is your ‘Safety Net’?

A friend emailed me this video clip today. I’m sure it’s going viral by now… It’s a beautiful depiction of the importance of wearing your seat belts.

Are you a ‘risk taker’?

As I was driving today, an opinion was expressed on the radio about a 100 year old man celebrating his 100th birthday by skydiving. The opinion was that just because the man reached 100 years old that it shouldn’t be the cause of him risking his life, after all, you wouldn’t roll your walker in front of a train and then when the train derailed to miss hitting you, you wouldn’t say, “Look at the great thing I did in defying death!” The opinion was that one should never risk their life doing something that had no meaning. But the Wright Brothers risked their lives… and in so doing their inspiration evolved into my ability to fly to where ever I will rather than driving or traveling by boat.

But isn’t it risking your life to get out of bed each morning? You or I do not know what the future holds, or when our turn on this earth is over. Granted we want to live our very best lives possible, so many of us are not risk takers. But what constitutes a risk? What constitutes a risk for you? For me, eating sugar and refined foods constitutes a risk in the healthy function of my body. It is also a risk for me to go running in grass because there could be a hole or uneven surface that is hidden by the grass. Most of all, it is a risk not utilizing the energy healing training I have. I learned that lesson last year when I ignored symptoms of a urinary track infection. Oops!

What ticking time bomb?

Ticking time bomb? Who said that? Well, if we understand that negative emotions left unreleased eventually creates stress upon our bodies and that stress leads to serious illness, then WE are ticking time bombs! I should have kept a record of all the times I have released and cleared negative emotions in myself that had manifested in illness such as cold, flu, ear infection, injury, headache, etc, so I could prove to you that in fact, when you release and clear negative emotions using the SimplyHealed® protocol, you are actually clearing possibilities of more serious illnesses down the road. And when you clear the blocks preventing good financial abundance, you are preventing difficult financial challenges later in life when you’re retired and aging. Have you ever thought that no matter how hard you try, you can never get ahead in your finances? That thought alone is an indication there is something that needs to be cleared, and very possibly the emotions that produced that thought was inherited when you were born. How long are you willing to take that risk of not releasing those negative emotions?

I didn’t mean to alarm you!

DSC_0004My intention is only to educate. There is nothing to fear or worry about. Negative emotions are easily cleared from the energy systems of the body utilizing techniques that have been tried and tested for decades both in practice and in scientific testing. Providing these techniques as a ‘safety net’ for you is both a joy and a pleasure! I invite you to join me in a journey of good health and prosperity today!
