PROTEIN: DEVIL EGGS AND CHIVES

Deviled eggs and chives (I've put in some optional below, but I like the plain simple recipe, tasty organic roaming chicken eggs are heaving enough. Just add beside egg, mayo, and chives then use one other option is my suggestions.

•1/4 cup fresh chives, for garnish

Preparation:
•Hard cook eggs; boil five minutes, turn burner off with lid on the pot of eggs and cool in its water. This will make them tender not too hard rubbery. Then remove when finished and cool completely.
•When eggs are cooled, removed shells and slice in half; remove yolks from eggs and place in a bowl.
•Mix together yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, salt and vinegar.
* 2 tbs. pickle relish (dill or sweet)

Meat Tamales (poultry, turkey or pork)


Tamales (semi home made)
Buy a large pork butt, poultry, chicken, turkey i.e. and cook it slowly with a large can of red Chile sauce found by the enchilada sauce in the grocery store.. I add lot of crushed garlic and a teaspoon of cumin and pepper and spice it up with habanero spice but you can omit that and add whatever spices you want. when the meat is fully cooked pull meat apart with a fork and discard the sauce in a bowl.
Mix the meat with a can of pitted black olives, more garlic, cumin, and pepper and whatever other spice I want to .... such as; garlic power, salt, habanero... or, (In a pinch; add a semi home made secret instead of spices; just to buy a block of chili con carne.) In some stores you can buy the masa ready to spread, but it comes in big sizes.

Buy a bag of corn masa flour made for tamales found in the store and make the crust inside your corn husk. Make the masa according to the directions I use lard only (not shortening...) If you have money use butter. I use chicken or veg. broth instead of water.
Buy the corn husk from a Mexican grocery store as they are cleaner and larger that can be found at Smiths Safeway or Albertsons, most larger chains.
Soak the husks and clean them well and lay them out to dry or pat dry...
With the meat cooled, the masa made and the husks soaked cleaned and dried; start to make the tamales. Use hands it seems to work the best but does get messy...
Take two husk and lay them in hand overlapping by an inch sideways; take a handful of masa and spread a 1/4 layer in the middle of the husks, then add a smaller handful of meat making sure I have an olive or two on top of the masa.
Roll the husks so the masa covers the meat completely then fold up the bottom end and continue to wrap the sides to cover the end part and roll to the end when they are all done; steam them for about an hour...
To check take on out and let cool; the masa should be firm if not continue to cook... it will firm up more during the cooling process so you will just have to get the hang of it... these freeze well and microwave
To reheat.. use more of the red chili sauce to top or any kind of salsa works too that's about it. If you lucky it help to have two people one to spread the masa and one to add the meat and even better is a third person to do the rolling. It can be a fun family time.
I don't make the meat, but some of my children do...try the green corn tamales, but they may seem like their more work...they are not. It just their in season in summer as far as fresh corn goes.
You of course can do beef, deer meat, sheep (Indian) and chile beans too.
Taste; as you go along to see if its too hot/spicy.

POULTRY RUB SEASONING

Holiday-Rustic Rub you do that is not necessary to use all of it. It only takes a little time to plan ahead and make poultry special. Spices also rid the meat of parasites as well as making it more tasty for less than the store variety. Just enough to season the chicken, duck, geese, turkey i.e. and what is left can be saved the rest for next time.
* 8 tablespoons paprika
* 3 tablespoons cayenne (Mexican method?)
* 5 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
* 6 tablespoons garlic powder
* 3 tablespoons onion powder
* 6 tablespoons salt
* 2 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano (or, herbs such as turmeric, curry, citrus or vinegar wash to remove bacteria and rosemary)
* 2 1/2 tablespoons dried thyme
Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Blend well.
Can be stored in an airtight container in your spice cabinet for up to 3 months.

BITTERS HERBALS AND HORSERADISH BY LEWIS BLACK

I've taught about the BITTERS herbals...for medicine...so, here's some of history (BIBLICAL parts) ..... LEWIS BLACK COMEDIAN...NOT SO FUNNY HERE, BUT, THAT'S OK. I wanted Mr. Black's views. He gives tidbit's on the PASSOVER, with his background accordingly to JEWISH HISTORY. I'm not sure he's all up on horseradish...I thought it was just a culinary herb...but it is bitter root...So I'm always learning too. Do research on horseradish, great for flues i.e.

WORDS OF WISDOM TO COMMON CURES

Some will call this WORDS of wisdom given out in the 1800's however. God speaks to all not one specific group. (thank you!) Personally I don't believe this is really up-to-day. The fowl, fishes, nuts, seed GMO's, grains, food, earth, soil, environment has been corrupted. So please use reasoning's and common sense and for God sake, read other books and do research on what your eating.
If the tongue is
white the liver
is cleansing
Mild Foods refer to as a "PLANT BASED DIET." This ideology goes these with herbal remedies if we are to understand how to reversals diseases. It's called the word of wisdom.
An example of this food pyramid, Vegetables, includes herbs, fruit (all in one category.)(Remember seeds are in the fruit and in the vegetable groups and some are legumes), or whole complex grains (and are seeds) and lastly, but rarely used, is no antibiotic fed meats. All foods are derive from these basic 4 groups (It is a very basic food pyramid.) This is the food pyramid for "mild plant foods," and basic for continual good health for all and found in the D. +C.

Watch your "magic mirror" the tongue, it will tell you if you body is eliminating with a coat of white on it (livers cleaning.) Notice it while on a "fast" or when sick or in mornings before eating anything, as we do clean at night. The body can naturally clean itself if allowed too.

"And whosoever among you are sick and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with herbs and “mild food”, and that not at the hand of an enemy" D+C

They're are many who stumble and not humble who will continue to fail toward good health because they do not understand this scripture. Your personal interpretation will be in your health outcome. And, we know the tyrant's of GMO, stocks,ruining our land and all vegetation's are the enemy spoken of in this scripture today. Washington's made laws to govern and control farming and imports of bad foods and taking seeds out of fresh food so not to procreation cannot take place. Read Genesis about the first garden he created, and now the whole earth is polluted plants and the food chain.

MILD FOODS (Plant Base Diet) is basically for the most part a vegan or a good vegetarian. Plants are necessary to eat fresh, in season whenever possible, for nutrients to heal the body.

The follow dietary laws are the mild foods spoken of above. (With the exception, meat protein which cannot be a mild food because it halts the elimination of toxins from the body (no white tongue.)
The difference from this mild food, a plant based diet vs semi-fast foods is a semi-fast would not be using grains, dairy for an acute stages of illness.

The pyramid shows meats protein being rarely used except in areas that cannot grow plants and on an emergency basis's, like a famine- where there is nothing else to eat or grow.

The Wisdom Comes with the way "mild foods" are utilized for man's health. The reader also needs an understanding of the “fast” especially, a “semi-fast” or “mild foods,” and their interrelationships to each other.
Short-term or semi-fasting” is used in chronic-illnesses. Its a easier fast for shorter,or, longer periods of time for those who have a long term illnesses and cannot or may have a difficult time, completing fast. (One, fast may be without no food or perhaps water. (Kidneys, bladder and liver i.e. may need to be cleaned too, but for others this is too harsh. Too many toxin's coming through for them may set the illness back.) When too many toxins are dumped you will feel sick, lethargic, fatigue out of control of yourself.

One can go back and forth as needed between, these two natural "nature's surgeries," fast, semi fast in balancing out or controlling the outcome of health problems. Milder foods, is at a slower rate to slowly building then eliminating, then go back to building i.e.. Even diabetic or children can do a semi fast on a fast day.

1. *All wholesome fresh HERBS (in its season, means fresh) to be used with skill and reason. (Common sense.)
An example might be; Mandrake, Ma Huang are herbs and of course many others are herbs that requires some experience, skill, good judgment, and caution as to any danger or risks. Also, skill comes with knowing the fruits and the vegetable (the herb-veggie is included) Enough skill to wisely use them within each sage of production and development in nature, then correlating it to specific health problems.

Un-wholesome herbals are usually the herbs that could harm the body if not used correctly, for the wrong reasons, or, not wisely. I feel doctors could get into these herbs if they learn to use them correctly as the doctors in some countries, such as Brazil. If taught correctly to use them in whole, organic manner and this is not to be taught by drug companies. (Conflict of interests etc.) More are moving toward this direction because all God's children have health problems. Other problem herbs ex. are; Mandrake, Mariana, Cocaine, herbal pain medications, Poppy's i.e are herbs of this directions.

2. *This scripture describes and groups effectively the..."FRUIT of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground-..." All is meant for us to eat when hungry.
*Just a note: What does fruit of the womb mean? If you understand this how this word is used in the bible or history, the meteoric of the word "fruit of the vine," or what the vine's product, produced, pregnanted or propagated, not necessary a fruit as an apple, orange i.e.
3. The next group the scriptures here is the group of; Vegetables, legumes (vegetable), and nuts (p: 'le-"gyüm, liz-'gyümFunction: nounEtymology: French légume, from Latin legumin-, legumen leguminous plant, from legereLeguminosae syn. Fabaceae) of dicotyledonous herbs, shrubs, and trees having fruits that are legumes (sense 3) or loments, bearing nodules on the roots that contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and including important food and forage plants (as peas, beans, or clovers) 3 : a dry dehiscent one-celled fruit developed from a simple superior ovary and usually dehiscing into two valves with the seeds attached to the ventral suture : POD "This emphasis has legumes are not a separate entity by themselves in this simple food pyramid. (Remember, dried legumes can be a seed too)
*4. All GRAINS Is ordained for the use of man, to be the staff of life. Staff of life means its our basic’s food. It's our true pyramid base or foundation.

No Genetically Altered grains ... the whole product it is not there. It's been polluted and not naturally or balanced by nature therefore causes many allergies and sickness.

"...All grain is good for the food of man..."
...Never-the-less, "wheat," is specifically created "for man" and for "mild drinks," As also other grains...
UN-wholesome foods after eating all you want you are not fully satisfied, (The opposite is so with wholesome foods. Your are filled and are no longer starving nutritionally), then, and only then will your body correct and heal itself even of diabetes and difficult weight issues. You will naturally eat and want less. (Drugs-soda pops will interfere with this progress.) Soda's with aspartame will actually make you depressed and more out of control hungry, and is not a food.

It's good exercise to work in your garden and get the Yoga like exercises and free sunshine. You'll raised better produce than your grocery market, and become healthier. Your body will began to repair and correct itself. It just needs a little time to repair, so be patient.
5. The cautions are in in here too; along with tobacco, strong drinks (Yeast causes prostate problems and many other health issues) and, unwholesome herbs.
"All animals and fowl the Lord has ordained for the use of man. And they are to be used “sparingly.” And to be used only in time of cold, winter, famine and excess of hunger."
This part is so abused in its interpretation's has caused much sickness and many to stumble. If your not well check here first...If you've prayed and been administered too, do you lack faith? If not healed then you have to began somewhere. Check this out and be humble and teachable maybe you have not interpreted these words of wisdom from the Lord correctly!

THEN COMES THE BLESSINGS: The fast connect in the DC, and now will make sense: but most don't know why nor how, because the leaders are not in tune with the laws of nature, which may be found in other books with some discernment's or revelation.

*The only way the will heal itself is through the following: 1. Fasting 2. Semi-fasting (mild foods) 3. Forced elimination. There is no other way. Now you have knowledge to judge and discern any diet out in the world and from books or so called experts on TV shows. You must understand fasting in some form is a commandment; and it be done and this is why.

THE BLESSING COMETH;
"...shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures; ...and shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint, ...And I, the Lord give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass them by, as the children of Israel, and not slay them..."

This hasn't been done because of ignorance's.

So, AGAIN, I ask are you really following anything close to this word of wisdom?

http://shermshappenins.blogspot.com/2012/03/word-of-wisdoms-mild-foods-plant-based.html

*Tea's are plants and have been used in all of history to dispense herbs for pleasure, nutrition and medicine...that's a fact! To get up on the pulpit at conference and say, " ...you shouldn't be drinking teas anyways..." shock me!

Note: I don't speak for the LDS Church nor do they for me as I speak out and write my blog post for my own views and reasoning's. Others are free to write their own views.
Some will take credit for my, findings as men usually do and copy out parts, but not whole because they are gifted enough to do so.
Again these posts are my opinions using my "gifts" and specific talents (as promised) given to further health and environmental issues in perilous times. (I also use seven gifts of discernment's for that purpose.) Take this and all my posts "as is" then, do your own research...We are not puppets and need not to be commanded in all things...
Have you ever though the word ''WISDOM'' means exactly that, common sense and too wisdom refers to you using your own thinking...not by a commandment of any church! Think!

Scripture history:  And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith.

NUT BURGER (high in fiber)

I’m into fiber, as most diabetic’s, or like the others that are prone to this disease should. We eat too much sugar (corn syrup especially) will raises blood sugars higher than regular beet sugar. We never had the weight problems in grandmother’s day, only since we’ve switch over to aspartame and corn sugars now call glucose sugar. In other words; means, when anybody’s blood sugar gets high, diabetic or not, they become uncontrolled, ravenously hungry. That’s the problem with corn syrup and it doesn’t take much for this effect to kick in.) I try and make most of my recipes diabetic friendly by adding lots of fibrous dishes. Fiber takes the kick out of fatty, sugary meals that dilutes it also. If any food product is low in fiber don’t give it a home! Don’t be a garbage can for any food even, if it’s cheaper. Nut Burgers has lots of omegas and approximately .6 grams of fiber (257 calories) Makes into about 6 burgers. So venture out of boredom with new recipes.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter or corn oil margarine for vegans
¼ cup finely chopped onions
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (waste not want not)
1 cup cooked oatmeal (left over?)
1 egg slightly beaten (see egg substitute post if vegan)
1 cup chopped organically grown walnuts (tastier, more nutrients)
½ teaspoons soy sauce (salt)
½ teaspoon thyme
¼ teaspoon sage
Heat the butter or margarine in a cured heavy iron skillet, or spray olive oil. Add the onion and cook till tender. Remove onion and put in a large mixing bowl. Don’t wash the skillet.
Add all remaining ingredients to the onion mixing well.
Form into 6 patties and cook in the same skillet. Don’t turn until golden brown on both sides.
Note:
www.americanbounty.com Almond Crunch
Kashi has 4g of Fiber and 6-7g of Protein, made with grain, nuts and seeds a very good product. Both have no corn syrups. This products’ a little dry. I love and buy their breakfast cereals they keep you up for at least 4 hours… Their waffles are good too 7 grams of fiber. These products are CONSTANTLY OUT OF STOCK!!!
I don’t care for the Kashi crackers though made better than most…too high in price and too hard to chew.

AMISH CANDY (hypoglycemic recipe)

Peanut Butter Amish Candy is an old Amish recipe is especially good for hypoglycemic persons. It’s a no-cook recipe and very easy that even a child can make and enjoy it. Use chunky or creamy organic peanut butter and honey with powdered milk. The good news is it helps the sweet tooth and has no corn syrup or aspartame in the ingredients. (If you’re a hypoglycemic person substitute uncooked cornstarch) See more info about this news below. Or, you also can use a part in substituting some protein powder. Make this work individually for your family’s needs.
1 Part raw honey (1/2 cup each)
1 part peanut butter (a needed fat)
1 part powdered milk
Mix this up with your hands. Then make ropes, cut evenly, and place them into a plate in fridge till firm. Wrap up in wax paper or store in refrigerator in a container and tear as needed. I've played with the powdered “milk” part of the recipe by adding a bit of rice protein, soymilk or/and soy protein powder.

I also added more crunchy real peanut butter in the recipe. After finding this news out about the cornstarch I substituted powdered milk for some raw cornstarch.
Let me explain more about the change in the above basic recipe by substituting some of the powdered milk or all. (Or keep the recipe as is)
Their was a “snack bar” introduce to diabetic’s that claimed to be a “special medical food”. Researchers learned long ago that uncooked cornstarch before bedtime can keep blood sugar stable overnight.
A group of researchers led by Francine Kaufman, MD, director of diabetes center at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, found a way to stir the starch into a palatable snack called “Zbar”. “On nights when 79 people with diabetes had one of these candy bars as an evening snack, they had 1/5 as many episodes of hypoglycemia at midnight and 1/3 as many at 7 a.m. than as they did when their bedtime snack was a bar without cornstarch (*abstract, American Diabetes Association meeting, June 1996)
Uncooked cornstarch is very slowly absorbed into the bloodstream, so it provides a slow but constant supply of sugar into the blood-and has the chance of staving off morning or middle-of-the-night hypoglycemia. Cooking the cornstarch won’t do because this-breaks the carbohydrates down into a more rapidly absorbed sugar. Not cooking it will slow all carbs down that is taken in with the candy. Try it and keep a record checking you blood sugar meter if you have one.
Why couldn't you "cap" it? Just use organic peanut butter or other nut butters, cornstarch and/or protein powder. (You’ll have to adjust this for your diabetic or hypoglycemic needs) Roll it in a log, cut up pieces evenly and wrap in wax paper and store in fridge to have handy when needed. (Keep some in purse as needed) It seems to control any problem that deals with lowering blood sugars. Who would have thought? If you have “hypo” problem then add in the raw honey. Keep on hand at all times. You can also keep it in a container and use it as a spread on crackers. The proportion of the nut butters to cornstarch needs to be regulated by your taste and medically needs.
*Note: you can use this same method when adding (sneaking) herbs your child as medicine needs that he/she can’t swallow an herbal pill for their illness. My pet loves the recipe when he has to take his pill too.

VEGETARIAN TAHINI NOODLES

This recipe can be done with meat, but is presented here as another vegetarian recipe. Tofu, wheat straiten, (see post), etc. can be use also. Buy vegetables on sale that week if on a tight food budget, Then substitute, when necessary, to varying and adapt this simple good dish. This is the basic recipe.
This recipe also can be more cost effective if you use only about 4 tbs. of chopped meat, (freeze the rest for another dishes, this is a part of a transition to vegetarianism and you may not be there yet. So adapt the recipes.) Stir fry the meat first seasoning the veggies than add in the noodles. However the Bragg's Aminos, Soy (both for salt flavor too) or other such Oriental sauces work just as well and is plenty flavorful.
Asian Tahini Noodles
2 packages Asian noodles (Follow directions on pkg. & drain well.)
1 tablespoon Organic Tahini
1 tablespoon Organic Crunchy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons Bragg Liquid Aminos or Soy but not both at once
1 1/2 tablespoons Honey
1 cup julienned carrots
3 green onions, sliced diagonally
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Mix the liquids; set aside
Quickly saute the veggies, (don't over cook, depend on the vegetables or how thick, keep same size pieces. (Green Beans take longer to cook than zucchini i.e. and should be put in last minute.)
Top with the fresh onion, and parsley
Serve over Noodles

IRISH POTATO CAKES, bake or fried

This is an excellent, simple recipe I've use for leftover mashed potatoes. They seem to be better in this recipe if used the next day.

You could add in garlic, bit of parsley if you choose, or add in you favor veggie or vegetarian meat.

One cup of left-over mashed potatoes
4 tbs. of whole wheat flour
1 egg or egg substitute
Mono oil (olive or safflower oil, with butter) (or, dip in oil and bake in hot oven)
Serving is about 4 medium potato pancakes. (If you need to... double the recipe)

Mix ingredients and let set aside for a bit for the whole wheat and egg to be absorb.
Fry crisp before turning on both sides and last minute add in butter for flavor. Do not turn over till brown. If your potatoes are not creamy enough add more milk if you want a thinner cake.
These are good even cold and none will goes to waste. You can garnish with sour cream
Plain butter and/or with maple syrup for breakfast
Fancy these up with what you have on hand such as chives or onions from your garden for dinner.
For lunch pour basic white or cheese gravy (or white sauce) over potato cakes or (semi home make it with just use cream of chicken, celery or, mushroom soup thinned down with cream or milk.
Basic White Sauce (optional)
