BEET GREENS AND A HOUSE CONCERT!

I’m happy to say my garden is doing so much better than last year; and the harvesting has already begun. What could be healthier than having a green smoothie with your own homegrown greens? I’ve planted three types of beets this year: Golden, Red Cylinder, and Chiogga. The plan was to make my refrigerator pickles with all three, and to dehydrate and powder the red beets for smoothies and salads. Much to my surprise I tried the baby greens in my morning green smoothie and they were wonderful! Little stems and all. So now I’ve been thinning the many rows! and so far have about 4 large ziplock bags stored in my freezer. Generally to freeze veggies they should be blanched, and I do this to make blocks of frozen greens e.g. spinach for my Spinach Pies, etc. but to use for smoothies I just washed well, packed in a ziplock, froze, and then squished the bags down. Amazing how the frozen leaves condense down for easy storage.

Washing the cylinder beet greens.

Chiogga Beet Greens ready for the freezer.

I find the Chiogga and Golden beet greens somewhat milder than the cylinder or red beet greens.

And now, the Concert! A reminder that the July 31st house concert with Whiskey and Wine still has some tickets available. Sunday from 2:00 – 4:30p.m. Tickets are $25 and etransfer please to save your spot. Call to purchase tickets and get directions.

Happy Gardening!

Make Ahead Picnic Salad!

I LOVE to have healthy salads made ahead in my fridge, whether for an impromptu picnic or for these busy gardening days when you just want to have a quick fresh cool meal between bouts of planting. This video White Bean and Coloured Pepper Salad is very easy to prepare, and keeps well in the fridge for several days.

Other salads I frequently make in the summer are Take A Walk On The Wild Side (Cook Your Way to Health page 73), and Awesome Cauliflower Salad, (Cook Your Way to Health page 97) and Chicken Macaroni Salad (page 78 Eat Away Illness). All of these keep for a couple of days in the fridge, so it is worth while taking the time to prep these before gardening days, or a long weekend in the sun.

We finally had a good rain here last night, 1 1/8″! So wonderful, as yesterday a friend came out and helped me plant about half of the garden beds. She also brought the most delicious Butternut Pear Soup; I so enjoy someone else’s cooking these days!

June will free up some time for retreats, so if you are interested in a couple of educational, healing, peaceful days in the country, call to book this space. (cel – 306-244-8890)

In good health,

Coconut Lemon Protein Balls and Workshop Fun!!

How about some easy to make super healthy little protein snacks?   I have been experimenting with these and found two variations that I like.  You will get to sample both if you are coming to the workshop.  Friday November 30th from 10:00 – 3:00 we will be learning about how the chemicals in our body products and cleansers affect our brain and our body, and how to replace and make your own natural products.  We will also be cooking up a lunch with super nutritious foods, so join us for a fun day in the country!  Carpooling available.

Coconut Lemon Protein Balls

I experimented with different protein powders and when using the Vegan powder, I used a full 1/2 cup of coconut oil, but with the collagen powder, less was needed.   The slightly darker balls are made with the vegan protein. I’ve taken someone else’s recipe and made it with a complete amino acid profile.  Feel free to eat these little morsels without guilt.

1/4 cup Go Pro goat protein powder
1/4 cup collagen powder
2 tbsp. Coconut flour
Zest of one organic lemon
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
2 tbsp. Lemon juice
2 tbsp. Liquid honey
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut shreds

1.  Place protein powder, collagen powder, coconut flour in a bowl.
2.  Zest the organic lemon over this mixture, and combine well.
3.  Melt the coconut oil, and add the liquid honey and lemon juice.
4.   Pour over the flour mixture and combine well.
5.   Add the coconut shreds and combine.
6.   Roll into small balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet in the fridge until well set, about 1/2 hour.

Optional:
Why not try dipping these in melted 100% cacao baking chocolate mixed with a little honey?

Please call me at 306-244-8890 or 306-997-9797 to register for the workshop.  For more info https://eatawayillnessbulletins.wordpress.com/2018/11/07/pretty-natural/
