My Food Philosophy

It starts with realizing your connection with the Earth. The earth will always provide you with the food that you need. Whole food in its purest form. Not chemically laden formulas disguised as food. You will begin to appreciate the people who grow the food. You will not settle for a fruit or vegetable that was grown in the most clean way possible. Because, you see, the energy from these foods becomes a part of you when you ingest it. It's all about conscious eating. Being aware of not only what you put in your mouth but where is comes from. I choose to live a plant based and gluten free lifestyle. This blog is an evolution of sorts. It starts with my dedication to using whole foods and moves into my dedication to a plant based cooking lifestyle. All those recipes you didn't think you could have eating the way I do....Bon Appetite

Pick Me Up

Hopefully spring is on the way. Winter has been nothing to complain about this year, but I am longing for green grass and colorful flowers. I recently came across a little pick me up for any dish. I saw it on a show on the Food Network called Arti's Party. I have been dabbling in Indian food lately, so I made my first Aloo Gobi (curried cauliflour and potatoes). The first thing you had to do was make this paste out of ginger and garlic. This paste was super easy to make and can be put into any veggie, rice, or potato recipe. Not only does it taste great, but it will prevent you from getting any of the last colds of the winter, due to garlic and ginger have such great immune boosting properties.

Ginger and Garlic Paste
Enough peeled garlic cloves to fill a 1/2 C. container
Enough peeled and chopped ginger to fill a 1/2 C. container
1/2 C. canola oil

Put all ingrediants in a food processor and process until it looks like a thick paste
Can store in your fridge for up to 3 weeks in a closed container
