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

The perfect Vata breakfast

I have been sticking to my dosha eating plan for over a week now. I am a Vata. Totally describes me: cold all the time, bony, olive skin, long fingers, worry wart, creative, etc. The goal with Vata is to eat food that is cooked, warming, oily, and soothing. I am happy to report that all silent heartburn symptoms are 98% gone. So, I must be doing something right. Below is my morning oatmeal recipe. With the mornings getting colder, it's the perfect Vata breakfast seeing that we are also in the season of Vata as well:

 Fried Apple and Oats

 1 granny smith apple, sliced thin
1/2 tbsp coconut oil
1/3 cup gluten free dried oats
2/3 cup water
cinnamon
stevia
coconut shreds
hemp hearts

 Slice and fry apple in skillet with coconut oil. When soft, set aside.
Combine oats with water and microwave for 1 minute 40 seconds.
Add stevia and cinnamon to taste
Top with apples, coconut shreds and hemp hearts

* I am learning and implementing all I can about Ayurvedic living from the book: 
In Your Elements: A Blooming Ayurvedic Guide to Creating Your Best Life by Monica Bloom. It's a fantastic resource! It would be fun to follow the book with like minded folk. If you are interested, please contact me and maybe I an set up something either virtually or in person *
