<span class="font-size-3" style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2 !important; position: static !important;">I want to genuinely thank you for following <b>Real Food Tulsa</b>, and for many of you, being a member of my <b>Raw Food Rehab </b>Community website. As you may have already heard, I have shifted my energies and have launched a new support community for those who are interested in upgrading their health & wellness on all levels and in all areas of their life! In the new space, food is only one of the focuses of true health and it is a place with no imposed rigid rules or dietary dogmas. I still believe in the power of raw REAL foods to heal and rejuvenate the body, but do not believe that one must eat an exclusively raw diet to achieve a brilliant level of health. </span></div>

I am fully into fall this year. I guess the truth is that I am into it every year. The sights, sounds, temperatures, sensations and flavors of the season are always inspiring to me.<br />
<br />
Today I was messing around in the kitchen and put together a few ingredients that turned out really delicious and I thought I'd share it. It's super easy to make this before bed so you can enjoy it for a super fast and nutritious breakfast!<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Pumpkin Spice Chia Porridge</span></b><br />
1 1/2 cups date sweetened almond milk (I make my own, but store bought Vanilla would be great too)<br />
1/4 cup chia seeds<br />
2 tablespoons carrot juice (I normally juice my own, but had picked up some at a local juice bar)<br />
Generous pinch Pumpkin Pie spice<br />
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
<br />
I combined all these ingredients into a glass jar, sealed tightly, shook until well blended - then I put it into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to congeal. It is so yummy & it will be my breakfast tomorrow morning! Let me know if you make it or if you have another favorite combo along these lines that you really like!Pennihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06339513708601810433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689301451171138930.post-18522072205186356712013-01-08T15:49:00.001-06:002013-01-08T15:50:40.092-06:00Eggplant Bacon Revisited<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's been a couple of years since I made Eggplant Bacon. I absolutely loved it then, so I'm not sure why I waited so long to recreate it. Perhaps it's because I remembered thinking it was fairly high in fat. I had made it in the midst of summer when eggplants were fairly prolific for a delicious BLT sandwich (you can <a href="http://rawfoodrehab.ning.com/forum/topics/foodie-friday-attack-of-the-5" target="_blank">view the recipe here</a>).<br />
<br />
So this time, when I got a hankerin' for vegan bacon, I decided to be a little more thoughtful about the ingredients, and the finished product did not disappoint!<br />
<br />
I would recommend using a mandoline if you have one, which I do, but I cut my eggplants free style with just a cutting board and a knife and they came out just fine! The goal is to cut them very thinly, but remember that they will reduce when you dehydrate or bake them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Sm92Iwa1UDOWf3_9OfFx3EnQM5y_66DHMh1M15gX2WFM6wPRb3ssdEc7_hKbuyGOcqz0ylFZ2kboyK7VAnnIA7YmOtBcdpI-4P7OwXcz1u2cXjWmhKL5rgbpiubcgM8g6BBCN4vh5u38/s1600/bacon+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Sm92Iwa1UDOWf3_9OfFx3EnQM5y_66DHMh1M15gX2WFM6wPRb3ssdEc7_hKbuyGOcqz0ylFZ2kboyK7VAnnIA7YmOtBcdpI-4P7OwXcz1u2cXjWmhKL5rgbpiubcgM8g6BBCN4vh5u38/s400/bacon+3.jpg" width="398" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Eggplant Bacon</span></b><br />
2 medium eggplants, ends trimmed, cut in half and then into thin "bacon-like" strips<br />
4 tablespoons coconut aminos (you can use tamari or low sodium soy sauce)<br />
4 tablespoons coconut vinegar (or apple cider or umeboshi plum vinegar)<br />
4 tablespoons coconut nectar (I actually used maple syrup, as I was out of CN)<br />
a drizzle of cold-pressed extra-virgin organic olive oil (I am thinking next time I'll try coconut oil!)<br />
1 lime, juice only<br />
2 teaspoons chili powder<br />
pinch cayenne powder (optional - but I like it spicy!)<br />
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon paprika (I used smoked)<br />
1/4 teaspoon smoked alderwood salt (only use if using coconut aminos - otherwise it could make it too salty)<br />
freshly cracked back pepper (I used approximately 1/2 teaspoon)<br />
<br />
Whisk together all ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined. Fully coat each eggplant slice and lay into a 9 x 13 baking dish to marinate. Pour any remaining marinade over the top and cover with plastic wrap for at least one hour.<br />
<br />
Transfer slices onto mesh dehydrator trays and warm at 135 degrees for the first hour. After one hour, I flipped the slices and brushed on the reserved marinade to re-coat. Return to the dehydrator, set now at 115 degrees to finish, approximately 8 -12 hours, depending on what level of crispiness you prefer.<br />
<br />
If you don't have a dehydrator, place slices on parchment lined cookie trays and bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 - 45 minutes, brushing occasionally with reserved marinade.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The bacon was my delicious lunch today, served with a raw corn salad (recipe in <b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1569757429?ie=UTF8&creativeASIN=1569757429&tag=reafootul-20" target="_blank">Raw Food Cleanse</a></b> or <a href="http://rawfoodrehab.ning.com/forum/topics/foodie-friday-mexican-food" target="_blank">available online in this post</a>).

<br />
This blended drink has been a personal favorite for a few years now and I enjoy it the most right after a hard cardio session. The protein from the goji berries and spirulina will keep you going for hours!<br />
<br />
2 cups fresh citrus juice (I used a grapefruit, orange, clementine combo)<br />
1 cup frozen organic strawberries<br />
small handful goji berries<br />
1 tablespoon spirulina<br />
<br />
Put all ingredients into a high-speed blender and combine until the berries are fully incorporated and the liquid is smooth.Pennihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06339513708601810433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689301451171138930.post-45445178786547228532012-12-10T09:49:00.003-06:002012-12-10T10:05:36.585-06:00Festive Chia Porridge<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Since my last blog, my dad has agreed to allow me to start introducing more raw foods into his diet, which is a big breakthrough. We've been making encouraging progress during the days, but he still desires a warm, comfort-food style dinner, so I am doing my best to come up with dishes that are thoughtfully prepared with fresh, organic ingredients that are vitamin, mineral and antioxidant rich. I'm also trying to add in as many herbs and spices as I can that are known for their cancer-fighting properties.<br />
<br />
So we've been having fresh fruit or smoothies in the early mornings, a mid-morning juice or shake made with Rockin' Wellness and Sunwarrior Vanilla Protein, lots of salads for lunch & sometimes a bit of left-overs from the prior evening's dinner. I am sharing some of the favorite dishes from this week with you here. I hope you will enjoy!<br />

<b>Cancer-Fighting Vegetable Soup</b></div>
Besides the ingredients and time allotted for chopping, be sure to add LOTS of love into your preparation. I fully believe there is a very special healing property involved when we intentionally put our loving energy and compassion into whatever it is that we are making for ourselves and our loved ones. Enjoy this delicious, health-promoting soup!<br />
<br />
1 teaspoon coconut oil<br />
1 yellow onion, diced<br />
4 - 6 cloves garlic, minced<br />
dash of dried red pepper flakes<br />
2 bay leaves<br />
1 tsp dried thyme<br />
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt<br />
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper<br />
2 cartons organic vegetable broth (64 oz.)<br />
2 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juices (I used about 4 cups fresh organic tomatoes - but canned will work)<br />
2 cups carrots (about 4), sliced into bite-sized pieces<br />
1 cup celery (about 3 stalks), diced<br />
1 red bell pepper, seeded & diced (any color but green is good)<br />
1 big handful fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced<br />
1 -2 cups broccoli bits<br />
1/2 cup fresh herbs (use flat-leafed parsley, basil, cilantro - whatever you like), minced<br />
water, as needed to reach desired consistency<br />
1 tablespoon turmeric<br />
1/2 lemon, juiced<br />
additional salt & pepper, to taste<br />
<br />
In a large stock pot, warm the coconut oil over medium heat. Add in onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook another minute or so until fragrant. Add red pepper flakes, thyme, salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Continue to cook for another minute or so.
Add in the broth and tomatoes and stir. Add in the carrots, celery, bell pepper and mushrooms. Allow to simmer until the carrots are almost tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Add in the broccoli, herbs and turmeric. Bring back up to simmer and cook until all the vegetables are tender, an additional 10 minutes or so. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and additional salt & pepper, to taste.<br />

<b>Creamy Broccoli Rice Casserole</b><br />
This turned out to be a marvelous main entree. Serve with a colorful side salad for a feel-good meal. If your family eats cheese, a bit of shredded white cheddar or gruyere added would likely make it extra yummy, but it was very good as the vegan preparation below<b>.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
2 cups cooked brown rice<br />
2 teaspoon coconut oil<br />
1 medium yellow onion, diced<br />
6 cloves garlic, minced<br />
2 carrots, diced<br />
2 cups chopped broccoli<br />
1 cup chopped cauliflower<br />
1 cup chopped baby bello mushrooms (any variety is fine)<br />
Vegetable broth, as needed<br />
Himalayan salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste<br />
<br />
I cooked the rice while I was chopping the vegetables.<br />
In a large stock pot, warm the coconut oil over medium heat. Add in onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook another couple of minutes, stir in the remaining ingredients and stir until all are well combined. Taste to see if it needs any additional salt or pepper. Pour in a cup or two of vegetable broth, bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover, cooking until the vegetables start to get soft, about 10 minutes.<br />
In a large glass casserole dish (mine was 9 x 13), combine the vegetables with the brown rice, using some of the vegetable broth to create a casserole like consistency, making sure not to make it soupy with too much liquid. Put into a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes to allow all the flavors to come together.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Epic Garden Vegetable Marinara Sauce</b><br />
We have been so blessed with an abundance of tomatoes from dad's garden this year. This sauce was created from the last harvest of the season and it was truly spectacular.<br />
<br />
2 tablespoons coconut oil (you can use a good quality olive oil - but I prefer evco when cooking these days)<br />
1 large onion, diced<br />
6 cloves garlic, minced<br />
1 large red peppers, seeded and diced (a roasted pepper or two would be delightful)<br />
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced<br />
2 stalks celery, diced<br />
1 cup cremini mushrooms (diced)<br />
2 - 28 fluid ounces canned plum tomatoes, include liquid (use fresh tomatoes if possible, skins removed & seeded)<br />
6 ounces tomato paste (I used a handful of sun-dried tomatoes, soaked and blended)<br />
1 tablespoon dried oregano<br />
1 tablespoon dried basil<br />
4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil<br />
3 large bay leaves<br />
2 teaspoons local honey<br />
1 teaspoon Himalayan salt<br />
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<br />
<br />
In a large skillet, heat the oil; add onions, sauteing until onions are transparent, about 5 minutes, add garlic and stirring frequently for another minute or two.
Add diced peppers, carrots and celery; saute' for an additional few minutes.
Transfer mixture to a large stock pot.
Add mushrooms, tomatoes (including liquid), sun-dried tomato paste, oregano, dried basil, fresh basil, bay leaves, honey, salt and pepper Bring sauce to boil; reduce heat and simmer, partially covered for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.<br />
Adjust seasonings to taste.
Remove bay leaves and discard.<br />
I used an immersion blender to make the sauce more smooth, but it would be equally as delicious if left chunky.
<br />
<br />
Serve sauce over pasta of your choice or serve over stemmed veggies. This sauce could be canned while it is hot, just follow canning instructions carefully.
It also freezes well.Pennihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06339513708601810433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689301451171138930.post-75467954322506672202012-08-07T13:18:00.001-05:002012-08-08T09:05:45.373-05:00My Life in Cooked Food Rehab<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Thanks to<a href="http://www.lindawagner.net/blog" target="_blank"> Linda Wagner</a> for sharing this photo today!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
I wanted to share an update here, as it's been awhile since I've updated my blog. For the first half of this year I was working nearly full time in a support/leadership role at <b><a href="http://www.cleanseamerica.com/" target="_blank">Cleanse America</a></b>, which is an awesome mission that is the brainchild of the fabulous <b><a href="http://www.paulrisse.com/" target="_blank">Paul Risse</a></b>. I absolutely LOVED every minute of working with the <a href="http://www.cleanseamerica.com/#!core-team" target="_blank">Core Team</a> and all of the truly amazing <a href="http://www.cleanseamerica.com/#!wellness-warriors" target="_blank">Wellness Warriors</a>. Both the spring and summer 10-Day cleanses were epic, but I have recently stepped down from my leadership position due to a new role I've taken, which I'll share more about in the next couple of paragraphs. I am really looking forward to what Paul has planned for Cleanse America's upcoming Fall Cleanse (which will begin on September 21st) and I encourage you to stay plugged into his <a href="http://www.cleanseamerica.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/cleanseamerica" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> for all the latest details!<br />
<br />
For those of you who are part of my <b><a href="http://www.rawfoodrehab.com/" target="_blank">Raw Food Rehab</a></b> family or are on the Cleanse America Community Site, you may have heard about my father's illness. My dear dad has had chronic leukemia (CMML) for about a year and a half, but fortunately, he has almost no noticeable symptoms....until recently. Dad started losing weight over the past several months, and it eventually became quite dramatic, getting down to 155 lbs. just a few weeks ago. Dad's always been a fairly large man at 6 ft. tall and it was unusual for him to get below 200 lbs. So it was shocking to see how frail and thin he had become.<br />
<br />
Dad has been living alone, at his little fisherman's getaway on Grand Lake. He is an avid organic gardener and fisherman and is one of the more active fellows in his neighborhood of mainly retirement aged people. Even at 82 years young, Dad was always mowing someone's yard or tinkering with a broken down air conditioner for a neighbor. When I went to visit him just 3 weeks ago, I found him nearly immobile, battling extreme fatigue and hardly eating, and I knew I had to do something.<br />
<br />
So we've moved Dad into our home and I am now his full-time caregiver, making regular meals, driving him to all of his many doctor's appointments and looking for ways to entertain and keep his spirits up. We are hoping to be able to get some of the mobility back in his legs (they think it is unrelated to the leukemia and is a result of arthritis of the spine). A series of epidural shots may very well get him back to a more normal daily life, so I am praying that this will be so. He has just recently started taking an oral anti-cancer drug daily, after a new bone marrow biopsy showed a shift in the diagnosis to Acute Myeloid Leukemia, in hopes of managing the aggression of the bad cell growth in the blood, but Dad is choosing not to go the route of traditional chemo-therapy, which I fully understand and support.<br />
<br />
The good news is that he has gained over 10 pounds since he's been here with us. I am jokingly calling his stay here, <b>Cooked Food Rehab</b>, as he has absolutely no interest or palate for raw foods, salads or juices at this time (wouldn't you know it). I <i>am</i> able to get a superfood shake in him daily (thanks Mike & Seth for making <a href="http://www.rockinwellness.com/" target="_blank"><b>Rockin' Wellness</b></a> taste good to cancer patients!!) and I am doing my best to keep the cooked meals as healthy and appetizing as possible. So far so good!<br />

<br />
I have had much kind input and suggestions by lots of people who are very well-meaning and wish to offer advise or their love and support. I read all my emails, but don't have much free time to respond at this time. But I appreciate each of you all so very much.<br />
<br />
For now I'm approaching all of this one day at a time and trying to help support dad's quality of life as much as humanly possible while respecting his lifestyle wishes and desires. It is an honor to love and serve this amazing man, in this time of transition and uncertainty, as he is my biggest role model and who I admire the most in my life.<br />
<br />
I will still be lovingly working on projects for <b><a href="http://www.rawfoodrehab.com/" target="_blank">Raw Food Rehab</a></b>, and on my writing, whenever I am able, but I've stepped down from any other work related responsibilities or travel for now. Perhaps, if it isn't offensive to my raw food friends, I may share a healthy recipe from our time in <b><i>Cooked Food Rehab</i></b> on this blog from time to time. Let me know how you feel about that.<br />
<br />
<b>Wishing you much love today & always!</b><br />

I've just finished packing my overnight bag, getting ready to slip off with Gordon (my husband) for an enchanted escape this evening. We've been invited to attend a very special happening that's part of <strong>Local Food Week</strong> here in northeastern Oklahoma. The evening will feature locally sourced fresh food & wines from within a 75 mile radius. It's my pleasure to support events like this that are helping to raise health awareness, support local farming/commerce and promote the real food movement.

Ask a coworker, friend, class, church group or your child to join you in this cleanse. It is easier and much more fun to have a partner(s) with whom to to share the experience!</span></p><p><span class="text_exposed_show">2. Share any videos we put up and make one (or more) of your own. Have fun with the process!</span></p><p><span class="text_exposed_show">3. Ask your uncle who runs ABC to run a news story about CLEANSE America. Just kidding....and just sayin' : )</span></p><p>4. Set up a raw potluck in your town and invite guests. Share food, laughter and then ask them if they would like to better their health in just 10 short days.</p><p>5. Same idea as above but do a movie marathon night screening Forks over Knives, Average Joe on the Raw and Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. </p><p>6. Print up our flyer (available on our <a href="http://cleanseamerica.com/">website</a>) and post in places you feel led to.....</p><p>7. Follow us on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/cleanseamerica" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/cleanseamerica" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and share a status update telling your friends to check us out. Also go to <a href="http://www.cleanseamerica.com/">www.cleanseamerica.com</a> and subscribe to our mailing list.</p><p>8.

One of the things I found most impressive while reading is the detail regarding his research and high focus on nutrient-dense, plant-based foods. After having worked with some of the best minds in the nutrition world, as well as some of the leading environmental advocates, Brendan has developed an appreciation of the two different perspectives, which have rarely converged to my knowledge. In <em><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738215112?ie=UTF8&tag=reafootul-20&creativeASIN=0738215112" _mce_href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738215112?ie=UTF8&tag=reafootul-20&creativeASIN=0738215112">Thrive Foods</a></strong></em>, you'll be guided through the <em><strong>“Nutrient-to-Resource Ratio,”</strong></em> a new concept that shows how sustainable food choices can help reduce our environmental impact. </p><p style="font-family: Georgia, Palatino, 'Palatino Linotype', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.4em; margin-left: 0px; ">And being the food lover that I am, I was blown away by the 200 earth-friendly and easy to make recipes. They are not all exclusively raw, although many are, and you'll be impressed with the delicious plant-based, nutrient dense offering from some of today's top sustainable celebrity chefs. Recipe contributors include some names you might recognize, like - <strong>Julie Morris</strong>, <strong>Matthew Kenney</strong>, <strong>Chad Sarno</strong> (owner of London's upscale raw restaurant <em><strong>Saf</strong></em>) and vegan chef <strong>Tal Ronnen</strong> (the cef who prepared meals for Oprah's 21-day vegan cleanse). There are also many recipes from Brendan's favorite restaurants, like <strong>Beets Living Foods Cafe</strong> in Austin, <strong>Blossoming Lotus</strong> in Portland,<strong>Karyn's</strong> in Chicago and <strong>Pure Food & Wine</strong> in New York.</p><p style="font-family: Georgia, Palatino, 'Palatino Linotype', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.4em; margin-left: 0px; "><em><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738215112?ie=UTF8&tag=reafootul-20&creativeASIN=0738215112" _mce_href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738215112?ie=UTF8&tag=reafootul-20&creativeASIN=0738215112">Thrive Foods</a></strong></em> makes it feasible and possible for anyone to start eating healthier and reducing their carbon footprint.
