Natural Healing

     My mom is visiting from out of town and she has a chest cold.  I have been trying to treat her illness naturally.  I gave her the essential oil breathe (Doterra brand) with fractionated coconut oil to rub on her chest.  I have also been giving her one tablespoon every two hours of a garlic, onion, cayenne pepper and horseradish tincture.  This has worked really well to clear out the junk in her chest.

Veggies

     I have been enjoying fresh veggies from my garden.  Here is a healthy recipe for you to enjoy:

Veggies:

Swiss chard
spinach
kale
broccoli
sugar snap peas
carrots

Sauce:
1 T soy sauce
1 T rice vinegar
1 t sugar
1 T sesame seeds

Pour ingredients in a small saucepan & heat until the sugar is dissolved.

Rough chop all of the vegetables.  Heat 2 T coconut oil in a skillet over medium high heat.  Pour in the vegetables and cook until they are just starting to get soft.  Place them in a large bowl and pour the sauce over the top of them.

Scrambled Eggs With Asparagus

     Several weeks ago, I was in Spokane, WA with my girlfriends.  We ate at a French restaurant called Madeline's.  The food was amazing!!!  One of the breakfast items that they served was scrambled eggs with asparagus.  I tried to duplicate the recipe as best as I could.  Enjoy!

Scrambled Eggs With Asparagus:

1 bunch of asparagus
5 eggs
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 c cream
1/2 t parsley
1/2 t minced onion
1/4 c shredded cheese
1 T olive oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Wash asparagus & cut off the ends.  Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray & spread out the asparagus on the cookie sheet.  Lightly drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with course salt.  Bake for 6 minutes.  Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat until smooth.  Add salt, pepper, cream, parsley and onion.  Stir until combined.  Cut the asparagus into bite sized pieces and add to the egg mixture.  In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.  Pour in the egg mixture and stir to scramble.  Turn off the heat while the eggs are just a little bit underdone and let them finish cooking on their own.  Sprinkle with cheese.  When the cheese is melted, serve the eggs along side of fruit.

Airport

     I am sitting at the airport with my daughter waiting for my parents.  I always come early so that I can go to the gift shop.  Of course I get suckered in to buying a four dollar bottle of water and a three dollar container of Nutella.  Why do I come to the gift shop hungry snd thirsty?

Homemade Bread

     Nothing smells better than walking into a room and smelling freshly baked bread.  Yum!!!  I cannot imagine a world without bread.  That would just be WRONG!!!  I have several recipes for homemade bread.  They are all delicious.  Some are really sweet, some are soft, etc..  This recipe came from my dear grandma.

Homemade Bread:

2 T lard
1 T sugar
2 c hot water
2 1/4 t yeast
1/4 c lukewarm water
6-7 c flour

Combine sugar, lard & salt in a large bowl.  Slowly pour in  the hot water and stir.  Let this cool to lukewarm before you proceed.  Dissolve yeast in a small bowl with the lukewarm water.  Add to the other ingredients.  Stir in the flour a cup at a time until you get a soft dough.  Let it rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour.  Punch down the dough & divide between two greased loaf pans.  Cover the pans and let the dough rise for 30 minutes.  Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes.

Movie

     If you haven't seen Mom's Night Out at the theatre, I recommend that you grab your closest girlfriends and go see it right away.  The movie is hilarious!  I laughed until my sides hurt.  It is a clean movie .  And by clean I mean no potty mouth, nudity, etc..  It is rare to find a clean movie these days.  When I left the theatre, I didn't feel like I wasted my money like I usually do.  I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.
