Wigmore Home Study Program and Inspiration

Dr. Ann Wigmore (1909-1994)

Good news! I earned a partial scholarship toward purchasing the Ann Wigmore Home Study Program. I have the other half, but the money is allocated for utility bills. (Need to keep the water and electricity on. :-) I need to manifest the money above and beyond the bills I am paying. I know I can do it, so send me good energy to do so. If you don't know who this Godmother of the American Raw Food Movement is, click here for information.

Here's a couple of easy, simple recipes:

Raw Oatmeal

Oatmeal:
Soak 1 cup of oatmeal (quick cooking type is fine) for 30 minutes. Pour the water off. Add 1 cut up banana, apple, ¼ cup raisins, and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well. Add maple syrup and non-dairy milk if you'd like. -- adapted from The Joy of Living Live by Zakhah.

Apple-Banana Smoothie

Smoothie:
2 bananas
1 cut up apple, no need to peel
1 cup of water
Blend.
Enjoy!

Deepak Chopra

Just wanted to share a couple of inspirational links. This one is from The Chopra Institute.

It's about how to set intentions and how to make them come true.

Tyler Perry

And this one is from Tyler Perry, who is now the first African-American to own a major film studio. I swear I cried when I read this.

He is SO inspirational. From being abused and molested as a child, to homeless in Atlanta, to now being on track to becoming a billionaire and one of the most influential men of his time. It's just beautiful. Enjoy reading.

What I ate the first two days

Asian-Inspired Green Beans

Hi Ya'll:


Tyrah, one of my readers in Australia, asked what I've been eating. I've been eating cashew nori rolls, kale salad, sesame seed milk, and lots of fruit. I know I need to change this up a bit. Green beans were on sale for 99 cents pound, so I got some. The above dish, Asian-Inspired Green Beans is an original.

The sauce is:
sesame oil
olive oil
ginger
garlic
maple syrup
nama shoyu
red pepper chili flakes.

The sauce is based on Golden Tofu Marinade from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison. (I hate I sold that book. It's a great foundation for anyone learning how cook.) Her sauce had brown sugar in it. I changed it to maple syrup, and just went by taste. It's a great sauce for anything. I'd made spaghetti for the rest of the family and poured that sauce over it. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and you've got a meal.

And these peaches I bought at the farmer's market near my house (minus four already eaten). These are called "Seconds." They are cheaper than regular peaches. They may be a little bruised or highly ripe, but still in good condition. I bought ten dollars worth of peaches for $4.50.

And I've gotten bananas at 25 cents a pound at my local grocery store. Again, seconds. The bananas might be open on the top. I saw two of them like that and asked the produce manager if I could get them discounted. She said, "Sure! I've two boxes of them like that in the back!" I got ten of them for 75 cents. Ask, because they won't volunteer the information.

And this is what I had for breakfast yesterday. Peaches, bananas, and kiwi. Simple and easy!

I need to do some green smoothies and juices though. I'll let you know what I did over the weekend on Monday.

hugs,

Althea

What I ate the first two days

Breakfast of Champions

I'm sorry the picture is a little fuzzy. This was my breakfast two days ago. Below was my breakfast yesterday. Above are nori rolls. Inside them are cauliflower and carrots and avocados. I chopped the cauliflower and carrots in my food processor. It's a really simple breakfast. This is carrot tuna and kale salad. The carrot tuna is not all raw. It's carrot pulp from juiced carrots. Then I mixed it with Veganaise and sweet relish. It's easy, quick, and simple!

Just showing you that breakfast can be more than fruit if you are raw!

Love,

Althea
