The reason why so many of us do not think highly of vegetables is because no one really showed us what can be done with them.
For sacred eaters who have high expectations from their food - like the one writing this - there is a lot to consider - freshness, looks, DF - Delishiousness Factor, nutritional & vibrational value.
So, when I see tired looking salad leaves OR severely overcooked GREENS I understand why the world does not like veggies.
As someone who healed with food, let me say this -
No self-respecting, evolving human being will eat food that is made without love & served without imagination.
To me - Food is Art. Food is Love. Eating is a sacred ritual.
Imagination is e v e r y t h i n g!
Here are a few ideas for those of You who are discovering the whole new world of HEALING PLANTS, those of you who
are no longer buying into the external programming, eating love-less fake foods made for profit.
I salute your evolution and the JOY you are about to discover and create, for you and your loved ones.
Food is meant to be HEALING, NURTURING, and EMPOWERING.
Let's have fun now, let's create.
Plant Dip #1 - LIFE BEET
We need:
< 2 beets, cooked, peeled & chopped
< 5 artichokes, marinated OR freshly cooked ( I usually get the ones marinated in olive oil)
< 2 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil (please be selective about it, know your oils)
< 2-3 garlic cloves (optional)
< 1-2 T lemon/lime juice, fresh
< 1/4 t Celtic/Himalayan Salt
< 1/2 t black pepper, always freshly ground
< 1/2 T dry OREGANO/ROSEMARY OR any other herb mix of your liking.
Blend it all into a pretty-looking, super-medicinal treat that will satisfy your entire BEING.
If You are into natural healing, You can see what a powerful medicinal combination we have here. Trust me, it is a real treat for the palate too.
Your LIVER will thank You for it.
Dip #2 - GO NUTS Dip (if you do not eat nuts&seeds - please move on to the next recipe)
We need:
1 cup nuts OR seeds: cashews/almonds/ sunflower/pumpkin/hemp seeds, etc, soaked. Use your imagination.
1/4 cup Raw Coconut Oil, melted
1 T lemon/lime juice, fresh. You can use ACV instead
1/4 t Celtic/Himalayan salt
1 T Nutri yeast powder (optional) - it is one of our vegan B12 sources
1 t dry THYME OR CUMIN powder(for slimming effect) OR crushed garlic - play with spices and herbs that you like. There is no limit to the flavors we get when we create our own FOOD.
Dip #3 - GREEN MAYO
We need:
< Avocado flesh, ripe
< 1 t lemon/lime skin, freshly grated
< 1 t Celtic/Himalayan salt
< 1 T ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar)
< 1 T nutri yeast
< handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as basil/ parsley/sage/ oregano/coriander/etc
< 1 clove garlic, freshly grated (optional)
< 1 t fresh ground black pepper
< 1/3 cup spring water OR veggie juice
Feel free to add edible flowers, hemp/pumpkin seeds, herbs and your favorite spices.
Use your beautiful imagination while creating food, and in no time You will see and feel how sacred eating is and how food can be love.
PS. Your home-made dips store well in a refrigerator for up to 4 days, in sealed glass jars… if You let them.
In my kitchen they disappear faster then I can say “I Love You.”
Recipe ideas are from my next book "My Own Doctor".
Thank you for reading and being here with the rest of us - ever- evolving, expanding luminous beings.
