<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">This evening I attended the feature documentary "In Our Heads About Our Hair" they did a great job showing honest opinions about people making hairstyle choices. Produced by Anu Prestonia, Maitefa Angaza, Paulteet Maat Kesa Tabb and Directed by 19 year old Hemamset Angaza. Check out INFO@inourheadsfilm.com and the trailer at youtube </span><br />

<h3>
My Friend Dr Sebi gives thorough research based explanation why alkaline and native plant foods heal. Many foods that are available to consumers are either hybrid and or processed. I love this website it gives a nice visual to help you make informed food choices. Here is a link to a list of acid and alkaline food alternatives. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">http://www.nu-covenantdiet.com/acid-alkaline/</span></h3>

Oatmeal, pear and walnuts.<br />I find a lot of folk who do not like oatmeal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I ask how they cook it that is usually
the problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do Not Add Oats to
Hot Water. Oats added to boiling water comes out very thick and sticky giving
it a gross gummy texture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then to
make it worse folk add milk, butter and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>sugar. It ends up becoming more slimmey than creamy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And who needs milk, butter and
sugar!.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My quick breakfast oatmeal has only
vanilla and water and how you cook it makes the creamy texture. I like to call is clean
oats.<br /> </h3>
<h3>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;"><h3>
Ingredients: </h3>
<h3>
1 cup rolled oats<br />2 1/2 cups filtered water<br />1 tsp vanilla (or to taste)</h3>
</span>The trick to creamy oatmeal is to put the rolled oats (not
quick oats or that microwave stuff), vanilla and water in a saucepan and bring it to a
slow bubble. Cook from 5-10 minutes. Do not stir, but gently toss the oats no more than 1-2 times or swirl the pan when it is
bubbly and frothy on the top. Remove from heat and let sit for at least 5 minutes. Serve with your favorite topping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>We topped this oatmeal with ripe pear and walnuts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Creamy</span> oatmeal will even reheat well, so make enough for the
next morning. Eat well.<br /> </h3>

My gingery sauce has sea moss, my favorite try to find new things to do with it ingredient. It blends up smooth and creamy and is a smart choice to pump up the nutrient value of any meal. My gingery sauce is so tasteful you can put it on anything. I put is over grains with sauteed vegetables. It is a refreshing salad dressing, or topping for your favorite grilled fish.</div>

I recently discovered this spelt tortilla. Unfortunately, not many stores sell it but if you can find this, it's a good way to reduce bread starch but still enjoy a sandwich. I find it much lighter tasting than the corn tortilla (never liked them). I stuffed it with mashed curry spiced black beans, onion, lettuce, cherry tomatoes and a sauerkraut topping. I am really digging the "Bubbles" brand of sauerkraut, it is clean, natural and fermented (which helps the digestive system).</div>

This makes a nice savory breakfast. I'm mindful not to eat sweets for breakfast so often, my challenge of course is finding simple but filling foods that aren't your typical break-fast fare. Mushrooms are one of those good for you foods that we should eat a few times a week. If you don't want to put it on top of bread you can put it over quinoa or grits.</h3>

My kids and I drink it everyday. Here's a simple nutrient packed living food. Known as Irish Sea Moss which alkalizes the body and in the West Indies it is favored as a healing tonic to keep the male sex organs in good working condition. It has 92 of the 102 minerals the body needs and as much calcium as milk. It can be added to drinks, soups, sauces and anything that you want to thicken. Sea moss is gelatin of the vegetable world. My easy smoothie is better than milk, it's creamy, filling and great as a breakfast drink, a mid-day snack or a night cap. Great for kids as a milk replacement. If you are trying to loss weight, this curbs your hunger because it nourishes the cells.</h3>

This was a dessert for today’s dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No dairy, no eggs! I have childhood
memories of chocolate pudding, but when I stopped eating dairy, pudding was no
longer an option.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So when I
stumbled upon Chef Marcus Samuelsson’s website <a href="http://www.marcussamuelsson.com/">www.marcussamuelsson.com</a> and he had
a non-dairy chocolate pudding recipe made with avocado I was certainly game to
try it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is now a dessert staple
in my home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can make this in 10
minutes top. Anyway, I simplified the recipe to include staple ingredients you
always have on hand. Enjoy! </h3>

This is interesting. I always felt like cereal smelled like dog food but did not know the affect on the body. As a young girl I remember a cousin of mine who ate nothing but cereal and milk, he was suicidal. He would climb to the roof of our house and threaten to jump and kill himself. I suspected 35 years ago it was not good to live on only cereal and milk. I consult many women with hair loss who</div>

<u>What you'll need:</u><br />
1. Spelt Bread (Trader Joes)<br />
2. Coconut Milk (Thai Kitchen)<br />
3. Pure Maple Syrup<br />
4. Berries (optional)<br />
<br />
I prefer to use a teflon (eco-friendly) skillet so I don't need to cook with oil. Pre-heat the skillet medium hot. Shake well coconut milk and pour a small amount on plate. Dip the bread quickly on both sides and place in the heated skillet. Cook each side to your liking. I prefer<br />
crisp edges. For those who like butter, try a small pat of coconut oil and then drizzle with maple syrup.

Depending on what region of the world you are in, corn porridge is called both grits and polenta.<br />
I cooked a pot of grits, got busy and did not get to eat until an hour later.<br />
My now cold and firm grits can easily cut into a triangle slice. I sauteed it in a heated<br />
skillet with olive oil and topped it with roasted peppers, onions and sesame seeds (optional).<br />
When you are making grits, make a small amount so it will be no more then a 1" thick slice.<br />
If you are making a large batch, pour the warm grits onto a cookie sheet to cool.</div>

Cut firm cold grits into slice, to pan sear in Olive oil.<br />
For Roasted Pepper topping: Pre-heat oven at 400 degrees.</div>

2 red peppers<br />

Toss cut up veggies in a bowl with a 1/2 tsp of olive oil, sea salt (to your taste) and a pinch of cayenne.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I can't resist beautiful berries at the farmers market or store, but you have to eat them in a day or two <br />or they will spoil. Berry smash was my idea for using the berries in place of jam. <br />I wanted some jam on my spelt english muffin so I smash the berries, <br />added a squeeze of key lime and a small bit of honey. Yum! </td></tr>

Morning Glory Roasted Vegetables<br />

Yellow squash and zucchinni can sometimes have a bitter taste, so I oven roast them to give the flavor more depth. Roasted veggies have a sweet savory flavor that can be paired with any grain or can be used as a pizza or crusty toast topping. I usually cook this while I get ready in the morning because it is quick and healthy.<br />
<br />
Preheat oven on broil 450 degrees. In a large mixing bowl add olive oil, pinch of thyme and sea salt to taste. Cut up yellow squash, zuchinni squash, onion and green peppers. Put one teaspoon olive oil per 2 cup cut up veggies. Toss the veggies to lightly coat with oil mixture.<br />
<br />
Spread them evenly on a cookie sheet. Set timer for 15 - 25 minutes or until brown on edges.<br />
Lovely brown edges, give it a little crunch and deep flavor.<br />
