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

Jack of All Trades Garlic Mix

This was a great find for me! I was searching last week for a cold remedy online. I found a few things, but I wanted the most simple. So, I made this balm. Here is what was in it:

Jack of All Trades Garlic Mix
3 cloves finely minced garlic
3 tbsp coconut oil
3 tbsp olive oil
Blend in a ninja blender, food processor, etc. and store in fridge in a glass jar. Will last in fridge for a few weeks.

I used this balm to rub on the bottom of my feet before bed. I than applied socks and went to sleep. I woke up in the morning without a sore throat anymore and feeling much better. I loved the smell of it, so I made another batch, not to rub on my feet, but to eat. Here are a few things I have been using it for:

- rubbing on bread and toasting for garlic bread
- sauteing vegetables in 
- using in guilt free alfredo sauce

This could also be rubbed on a chest or back if you are having a chest cold. I mean, no mistakes about it, you will smell like garlic but the benefits will probably outweigh the smell.
