Natural Allergy Relief

Spring is here! Along with new growth comes the dreaded allergies. Most over the counter relief comes with help but makes you drowsy. There is a better alternative with Stinging Nettle  You can find it growing in the wild (don't consume when flowering) or much easier is at a health store or online. Amazon has many to choose from, but always buy organic please.

Natural Allergy Relief

Anyone who has been hiking before or even working in the garden has probably encountered "stinging nettle".  You never forget the stinging pain on your leg or hands that comes with brushing up against this wonderful weed.  But the natural benefits outweigh the sting of Nettle.  The first recorded use of it was by Roman soldiers battling the harsh cold by rubbing leaves on their arms to induce inflammation just to warm their skin!  Its leaves have long stinging hairs that inject chemicals into the skin of unlucky persons or animals who cross its path.  It is its natural defense mechanism.

Some of the great benefits when consuming nettle are:

*Helps to detox the body, it is a natural diuretic, flushing out harmful chemicals and 

excess liquids. especially useful in urinary tract infections.

*Promotes healthy blood circulation and cardiovascular health, with high amounts of

iron and vitamin c its helps to alleviate anemia and fatigue.  Also with high amounts of potassium it lowers your risk of strokes and heart attacks.

*Reduces arthritis pain, the antioxidant properties minimize the swelling related with arthritis and used topically can relieve some pain also.  

*Alleviates allergic reactions, even though the physical contact of nettle causes inflammation, the ingestion of it does the opposite by dampening the body's response to allergens.  It binds with the body's histamine receptors to lessen the effects of allergy symptoms. 

One of the most effective ways to consume Nettle is drinking a tea blend of  nettle, peppermint tea  and honey.  Nettle by itself has a very strong earthy taste, the honey and peppermint smooth it out a little.  You can find a variety of different brands to purchase online or at your local health food store,  Some even sell it in bulk so you can make your blend.

Making Nettle Leaf Tea Using Dried Nettles

• Place about two teaspoons of dried nettle leaves in a tea strainer and place the strainer in a mug.
• Pour in boiling water, cover, and let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add honey or sweetener of choice, stir to dissolve.
• Strain out and discard leaves.
• Sip and enjoy!

The next time you have the sniffles from pollen, brew  a cup of Nettle tea!  During heavy allergy season drink it daily you will definitely see a difference.  

It is always better to find a natural remedy from nature than bombarding your immune system with a man-made alternative.

Have a great week.

This is a tasty and easy sandwich to make. You will have to make some Coconut Bacon ahead of time though.  We use an extra firm tofu and Field Roast Chao Cheese and Goya Adobo All purpose Seasoning both available at Walmart, etc.

To make a couple of sandwiches:

In a small amount oil fry 1/4" slices of extra firm tofu, seasoning with the Adobo seasoning and sprinkle with dried thyme (for the turkey flavor). Toast your choice bread. Using vegan mayo, sliced tomatoes, coconut bacon and a slice of Chao cheese topped with some Romaine lettuce, you have created a double deck yummy vegan Club sandwich!

Enjoy!

Here's another quick easy meal:

Tofu Ramen

Crumble extra firm tofu into large chunks and fry in a small amount oil, seasoning with Adobo seasoning.

we use Momofuku Soy and Scallion Noodles, prep the noodles(appr 4-5 minutes) while cooking the tofu.

When tofu is browned (4-5 minutes) use Kinder's Teriyaki Glaze and cover the tofu to taste.

Combine in a medium bowl and enjoy!

 Let's do fika!

According to many worldwide studies Sweden is one of the happiest countries to live. Fika, the delightful custom of enjoying a coffee and a treat with friends is as Swedish as ABBA. 

Surely it's just a coffee break?  Fika is much more than that, to Swedes, fika is something of a ritual. It typically consists of coffee and a sweet treat shared with friends on a regular basis.  It is a deliberate way to share a social connection with friends and colleagues during work times.  More importantly, a way to enjoy time with those you love and just connect, especially in nature.  Our daughter Briana spent time in Sweden and recently came back with fika as a daily ritual. Kristen and I have made it a weekly connection to spend quality time together.  That is what fika is all about. 

Let's do fika!

Have a great week.

Quick and Easy

Here are two easy recipes:

Pickled Red Onions

This simple recipe comes from Earthy Andy.

 Red onions promote healthy digestion, fight inflammation, boosts your immune system and tastes delicious!

1 large red onion sliced very thin

1 cup apple cider vinegar

2 tbs sugar

1 tbs salt

2 cups water

In a small bowl mix ingredients and bring to a simmer.

Load up a medium Mason jar with the sliced onions; pack it in!

Pour liquid mix over the onions and let rest.

They're ready to eat now, but better if left a few days to absorb the flavor.

English Crumpet Pizza

We use Trader Joes English Crumpets for the base, but any English Muffin will work.

Place your "crumpets" on a baking sheet.

Layer on  pizza sauce or pesto sauce of your choice.

I use Vegan Kale Cashew Basil Pesto or Pizza Sauce, both available at Trader Joe's.

Top with your choice of cheese.

I use Dairy free Cashew Mozzarella Style Shreds from Trader Joe's.

Top with a sliced red bell pepper or topping of your choice.

Bake at 350' for 12-15 minutes.

Top with fresh basil.

I just realized this whole recipe came from Trader Joe's!

 13 year Blog Anniversary!

We started writing this blog in February 2011.  We started on a journey for better health and to do our part to bring awareness to animal cruelty in the agriculture industry.  Friends were always asking us for the recipes of delicious food we shared with them.  Kristen suggested we start a blog to share those and other insights into being more conscious about living a more sustainable life.  Now here we are, with over 100,000 views on the blog, and I am so grateful that we are able to share those ideas we have learned.  Over the years I have had to go back to certain posts and update on the information that has changed.  My ideas on health are always improving and I like to suggest to those that read theses posts to continue to do the same.  After all, it has to work for you! We are all different in what we need to thrive.  

In the past couple of years the Blogspot.com has changed their platform with how it works.  July 2021 was the last post I was able to put in the sidebar😒😒. It was beyond my control.  Please feel free to explore any posts from now going back in time.

Re-purpose Your Coffee Grounds

Re-purpose Your Coffee Grounds 

We are a coffee loving family!  We mostly have used a single-serve coffee machine over the years.  On occasion we used a French Press or a pour over for something different. The issue is, for the best tasting coffee a French Press can't be beat.  We recently purchased  a Smeg Kettle and a French Press. While it takes a little longer to brew than a K-cup, the wait is worth it. The flavor of the brew is phenomenal and so much more rewarding.

But wait, what do we do with the coffee grounds? We can just throw away the used K-cup, but it ends up in the landfill.  Rather than just dumping the grounds into the trash where they also end up in the landfill or down your kitchen drain which can cause plumbing issues, there are better ways to dispose of them. 

  A couple of ways to re-purpose your grounds are:

*  Turn them into a healthy and earth conscious fertilizer.  This will improve the ability of the plants to retain nutrients and supply additional nitrogen for improved growth. You can also spread them on your lawn or throw them in your compost pile if you are lucky enough to have one.

* Homemade hair and face products. A coffee body scrub can exfoliate and stimulate dry skin.

*Deodorize your fridge. Place a bowl of dried coffee grounds to eliminate unwanted odors.

It's About Thyme!

 

It's About Thyme!

Thyme is a herb whose small leaves grow on clusters of thin stems.  Grown primarily as an aromatic culinary herb it forms a mound 6-12" and 6' wide.  Obviously low growing, it prefers dry, sandy and even rocky soils. It prefers full sun, good drainage and is even drought and frost-proof.  This makes it a very easy herb anyone can grow, even inside year -round!  Just remember to keep it trimmed back. Use cuttings of 5-6" for cooking, leaving 5' of growth for good health of the plant. This aromatic woodsy tasting herb is great on many types of fish, in  soups and veggies. 

What you might not have known about thyme is its medicinal uses!

At a time when antibiotics and drugs of synthetic origin weren't being used, thyme was actively being used by traditional healers to treat a variety of ailments- from coughing to nervous disorders!  The many benefits of using thyme are:

*Immunity booster: packed with vitamins and antioxidants, helping to prevent colds, flus and other illness.

*Cough and sore throat remedy: the essential oils help alleviate the cough and sore throats caused by bronchitis, colds and flu.

*Reduces inflammation and speeds healing: thyme has anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and antiseptic properties which is why it has been long used for cuts, scrapes and bruises.

3-Ingredient Immunity Tea

This is excellent for a cough or sore throat also!

Take 3 sprigs of fresh thyme in 1 cup boiled water and let steep for 10 minutes.

Strain into a cup, squeezing a half of a lemon and stir in 1 tablespoon of manuka honey or raw local honey.

Sip and enjoy!

Thank you for reading.

Have a great day.

The Incredible Soy Curls

The Incredible Soy Curl

 

We have been eating plant-based since 2008, and for some unbeknownst reason, have never heard of soy curls!!  In some Whole Foods they offer a vegan General TSO  Chickin' in the prepared foods.  It seems that it is getting harder to find in most of their stores, which is sad, because it is delicious.

Kris and I have tried to replicate it numerous times, but to know avail.

UNTIL NOW!!

I regularly watch a Youtube channel called "The Narddog Cooks" https://www.youtube.com/@thenarddogcooks

No this isn't Andy Barnard from "The Office", but he shares the same name! He introduced us to Soy Curls and it hasn't been the same. Andrew shares some of the easiest and most nutritious recipes, all the while in a most relaxing setting. He is truly the best presenter I have come across.

His Chickin' Noodle Soup is awesome and made with Soy Curls.

Butler Foods is one of the most known producers of Soy Curls. Curls are Non-GMO soy beans, high in protein, fiber and are grown without chemicals and pesticides.

Here's our easy 4 ingredient recipe for General Tso Chickin': 

Pre-soak Dry Soy Curls in filtered water for 10 minutes.

Dry soy curls with a paper towel.

then brown them in a med-heat skillet until curls begin to firm.

Season with Adobo All-purpose seasoning.( we use Goya)

Add 2-3 tbs. of Tamari or Coconut Amino Acids to darken the curls.

Add 2-4 tbs. of Trader Joe's General Tsao stir fry sauce to taste.

Serve over Brown rice, Quinoa or choice of noodles, adding vegetables of your choice.

Hope you enjoy!
