Gluten/Grain Free Veggie Noodles Made Easy Peasy

I am happy to report that providing families with gluten free choices has finally become mainstream.

The daze of hours in the kitchen are a thing of the past, with the 

‘Garden of Eaten’s 

Bounty. Not only are we crafting food as medicine for our families fare, we are giving our guts a chance to rest and digest. Green papaya has the natural enzymes like papain. This enzymes is a protease which helps to breakdown proteins. In addition to this digestive aid Raw papaya has fibre that is likened to a broom, aiding in the removal of the toxins in the body.

We use our Backyard organic green papaya instead of nightshade potatoes in our beef stew. The green papaya   held its shape and kept its 

toothy bite for days. 

The nutritional value contained within the green papaya is the Enzyme papain, a magic bullet in my medicine cupboard. Papain is well known for its ability to address inflammation while also supporting digestion and 

immune system function. Much has been studied about green Papaya (papain) and its anti-inflammatory, swelling, pain, and anti-Cancer properties. Studies have proven these constituents, act as building blocks for new cells as well. Quite the opposite of nightshades and potatoes. 

These papaya's are our healthy choice for potatoes, so tasty and good for you. 

Green papaya along with yucca are often used as substitute for potato in soups and stews! 

Also served uncooked in Thai Green Papaya Salad, that is as nutritious as it is delicious. Talk about friendly foods “with benefits.” 

“Som tam” satisfies all of the taste buds; pungent, salty, sour and sweet. A prime example of food as medicine. This one will always fits the bill.

Green papayas have a higher amount of potassium than ripe papayas and much less sugars. Potassium is one of the major electrolytes in the blood along with organic sodium that carrying a beneficial positive electrical charge. 

Anyone, that knows of my work and writing has been taught that enzymes are essential as a “spark of life.”

Enzymes are my second favorite nutrient ; second only to probiotic, which literally means “for life.”

Grateful for our abundant papaya trees lasagna made with green papaya noodles; offering my favorite enzyme Papain! There is gain here without the pain of inflammation.

Honorable mentions for oodles of noodles that are not just gluten-free, but grain are: carrots, beets, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, or zucchini. Though these are a few our favorites, only your imagination can limit the possibilities. It be hard to beat this zucchini treat as a Mexican enchilada.

 I am happy to report that providing your families with gluten free even grain free choices has finally became main stream. Once again proving that Gaia’s pantry is not “alternative medicine” but indeed Original Medicine or what the Power of Weee calls 

Om Medicine!

It All Begins In Your Shopping Cart

Eat food grow food! It all begins in your shopping cart! I buy and therefore support local farmers or farmers markets. Choosing to spend a wee bit more I choose Organic whenever possible! I look for veggies yearning to continue to grow with green toppers. And Voila from scraps to table for another meals fare

It does begin in the shopping cart! If a farmers market is not on hand, choose mindful choices, with one simple 89% Rule! 80% of my shopping is done on the outer perimeter of Grocery stores! I raised my family on 80% of outer perimeter’s good choices of dairy, proteins and vegetables! In my writing I often quote Our father of medicine Hippocrates, who said "let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." And an expansion of Carl Sagan's viewpoint, "but you know life is for learning. We are Stardust. Billion-year-old carbon. We are golden and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden." 

My writings in The Chakra Alchemy Living Workbook, touch on some philosophies to guide us through this paradigm shift back to what the Power of Weee refers to as Om medicine or Original Medicine. It does begin in our shopping carts, here's a look into my choice of supporting local flea/ farmers markets! If a green thumb is not on hand, support local cottage industries.  This mom and pop store has been serving us for 20 years. Growing much of their own like these parsnips fennel, garlic and bok Choy.

Posse’s Java Extravaganza

 

Posse’s Java Extravaganza 

👂Listen up👂Why buy fair trade?Why Buy Organic! By supporting the farmer Weee help protect their land, waters and environment! 

It's been said "Coffee lovers are discerning people." I reference in my writing, how connoisseurs of wine, develop their ‘noses’ and their language around the aroma and scents of their beloved grapes! This holds true for my beloved coffee and cacao beans!

 It means it begins in your shopping cart! 

To put things in a mind bending perspective;  Coffee is one of the top traded commodities in the world! Think about that!

 

Growing methods have been developed to maximize production, with no regard to sustainability! 

These non-organic beans are one of the most heavily chemically treated foods in the world, in its growing process.

Then insult to inquiry; our beans are disrespected further as they are steeped with synthetic processes! (The processing process, is yet another can worms.) 

This is on top of the fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides – all this lands in the land! Not to mention the mindlessness of ‘out of sight out of mind.’ These un-wholly beans land in our cups! They cheat us as a holy-whole 

☕️ as you greet each day! ☕️

 

There's a new way to start your day and it's not our mama's way! This is a ritual in our hOMe! Prepared and consumed with mindful gratitude. 

A mindful purchase of fair trade organic choices does more than keep a bad taste residue out of your octane. This is deeper than just a cup of java! 

Conventional coffee is often at the expense of environmental and human health. Not only does the environment suffer from this overload, but so do the people who live in it. 

 

Farmers are exposed to a high level of chemicals while spraying the crops and harvest handling.

 

The surrounding communities are also impacted through chemical residues in the air and leach into water supplies. 

 

These chemicals are highly toxic 

and detrimental to human health and our Mother Earth! 

What is done to the micro human family also has be applied to flora and fauna! 

As well as our home the planet Earth!

Weee all need a mindfulness of good stewardship as we borrow from the land and our children’s future. We need to care about  the health of our home planet, we share! 

🐝Not to mention the birds and bees! 🐝

It all begins with your choices in your shopping cart! Support your health by buying Organic Coffee. It is high octane time we realize the power of our collective mindful choices! 

Please care enough to Educate yourself in the countless benefits of cleaner land and you. We must once and for all CARE for this planet we all share and call home! To move about ‘As If’ we are good Stewards borrowing the land from our next generation.  The Antioxidants contained in your morning brew is just a drop in your cup when it comes to benefits! 

Please brew with the mindfulness of    Being a good Steward which ensures  “Good to the last drop!” 

This is what the ‘Power of Weee’ calls  

 “A Return to Original Medicine!”

Java Extravaganza ~ RESPECT the BEAN for the "good to the last drop"

In USA TODAY an article said:

"83% of adults drink coffee!"

"More than a caffeine jolt, coffee is a $30 billion-a-year national industry, a foodie fixation, affordable luxury, with a boost of disease-fighting antioxidants." Todd Plitt  

In my last and final writing on what some may find as a jittery fixation on this 

cuppa of joe,

this is dedicated to the other 83% … 

I'd be remiss if I did not address How to coax every good to the last drop out of every bean!

After burning out my expresso machine from a decade of daily pressing and tapping,

I have evolved!

As I save pennies for an official expresso home station, here are a few of my favorite ways to lovingly coax the most from our organic beans. 

Here's for your consideration!

Weee use a French press for hot cup of morning brew.

A cold brew awaits in the refrigerator for a second cup for afternoon time ceremony!

Why Use a French Press?

My French press makes the best coffee.

Coffee beans contain oils, in other words like most favorite foods the oils is where the flavor is!

Conventional brewing uses paper filters, where the oils end up being absorbed!

This leaves the flavor in the filter paper not your cup!

Also my French press allows for time for steeping.

When you get a good cup of tea, you use bulk tea that steeps for several minutes depending on the type of tea.

The same is true for coffee through a French press.

It even develops my favorite "crema."

I know it's as good as it gets when Crema is forming its foam on the top.

This creamy cream is the flavorful, aromatic, reddish-brown froth that rests on top of a well-made cup of brew. 

I’d be remiss not to honorably mention this affordable, Classic Stovetop Espresso brewer. We have all seen this little beaut and I have used ‘in the day’ when camping. I wish it was not made from aluminum, but I digress… Many rely upon this Italian and Cuban Café, Latte, Greca Coffee Maker! 

Studies show:

Caffeine "may" reduce the risk of developing Dementia and Alzheimer’s, with the chlorogenic acid lactones and lipophilic antioxidants found which is preserved in French press coffee!

This paragraph is brought to you by, Goggle University:

"according to a study published in Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

So the double whammy of high caffeine content + the presence of important antioxidants

(that are filtered out during other brewing methods)

makes French press coffee an important ally in protecting your neurological health.

Another benefit is the existence of Methylpyridinium—a compound found in liberal amounts in coffee.

compounds can help reduce the risks of certain cancers, including oral, pharyngeal and esophageal cancers."

CHOOSING COLD BREW 

One of the major differences between cold brew and regular coffee is their respective levels of acidity.

As a result of brewing at lower temperatures the acids found in cold brew is significantly less in acidity.

This results in a smoother, milder, almost sweeter flavor and helpful for digestibility.

As a medicine women concluding this 101 class on my favorite beans I would encourage you to look at the benefits of a daily serving of this antioxidant in a cup! (Or 2) like lowering risk of Cardiovascular diseases and heart disease. 

Savor the day in a new organic way. With gratitude, greet each day with an awareness that this is a ritual!

8.8.2022 Lion’s Gate

Looking Up~A Read for a cup of Tea type of Moment of pause! The Lion’s  Gate, today 8.8.2022 is a heavenly alignment. With Solar trips around the sun,  life usually finds me writing an inspiration brought to you by our heavenly bodies! 

But alas as I try to catch my breath ~ 2020 and beyond has sadly, put a new spin on one of my favorite quotes “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” 

Breathless the Bible comes to mind instead of my usual go to writings such as A Course In Miracles or my Bible of Life, The Tao Te Ching! Though today it’s Hebrews 11:1 

I turn to.  “Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.” 

August 8th’s portal known as the Lion’s Gate may not be visible but rest assure it is here! Divine Providence may not seem tangible but rest assure; the weight of Truth is being directed and protected! Sow ‘Keep Calm and Carry on” and on and Om. “Shoulder to the wheel.” 

In my work, writings and teachings,  I rely heavily upon lion-hearted Courage! At the core of an unfettered, unstuck heart ~ purity and Courage must remain at the heart of the matter! These unprecedented dark times takes nothing less than lion-hearted courage; which takes a toll! We must protect our light-hearted buoyancy in order to survive and still thrive!  

8/8’s Lion’s Gate today is 

brought to you by a heavenly sacred alignment! This portal is part of creation just as we are! Know this, Trust this and Believe this! The I Am that I Am! Time to reconnect to the generosity of  creation. It is High Time to protect our Buoyancy and realign our highest intentions!  We must remain vigilant in order to safe guard against an eclipse of the heart easily brought to you by the “narrative” of these dark unprecedented times! 

Today, as the star Sirius rises in the sky, Orion's Belt directly aligns with the Pyramid of Giza. on Earth, Sirius the brightest star we can see is now closer to Earth. The star Sirius is 2X the size of our Sun! Which is why Lion’s Gate provides a portal to tap into as a powerful source of spiritual light. Think of the sun’s life giving properties supporting, energizing, bathing and clearing you and yours! 

Just as the heavenly body is part of creation sow are weee. This is my religion. Earth is my Church! The Law of Love is my creed! The Lion’s Gate Portal allows us to boldly and optimistically open new doors of opportunity. In love’s light with “Harm to None” it is a good time to manifest your dream life. In ancient Egypt the rising of Sirius would flood the fertile Nile! This time of the year was seen as a thyme to harvest and reap what ye sow! 

The Lion’s Gate is a time of increased cosmic energy that flows between the physical and spiritual realms. As veils on this plane are lifting may the Age of Aquarius finally reign! May Lion Hearted Courage led our way! This astrological gateway has roots in ancient Egypt and for thousands of years has been observed as a time full of an influx and activation energies. 

It’s all about your imagination and intentions; your heart of heart’s desires! Tap into a profound portal connecting as an “As Above Sow Below” moment!  Despite what the world’s actions and narrative “seems” to be; its Time to realign ~ staying True to our 

             🇺🇸🙏 True North 🙏🇺🇸
