  • Coconut and thyme mushroom steak with 
  • Cilantro and lime lentils
  • 2 types of  kale salads and a regular romaine lettuce salad. 





Here they are setting up.


Mom made her totally alkaline, Vegan Butternut Squash Pie. I will post the recipes upon request. He did not complain about the Pie either, lol.



Pharaonic Designs did not complain.



Actually, he got a few things, lol. Here he is with the take home basket of Girl Society Popcorn.

Ground Veggie Meat with no soy, no wheat etc...

My family's favorite vegan alternative to ground meat, wheat, and soy that has an excellent texture is Mushrooms. Yep mushrooms. If you are a mushroom hater it's all good because so isn't half of my family. When I make this I get NO complaints. Not even from the beef eaters.


You have to dice the mushrooms really fine. The oil you use will depend on the type of recipe you are using the mushrooms for. When making stuffed peppers, lasagna, or spaghetti, I use 100 % Cold Pressed Olive Oil. Sidebar. Actually, mushrooms retain so much water that you can make this without actually cooking the mushrooms in oil. To get the desired texture without oil you can spread them out on a cookie sheet, season them,  and bake them until the moisture runs out at 300 and until they are almost dehydrated and crispy. You want them a little on the crispy side because when you add sauce they will swell a bit.

If you are going to use the method with the oil, let your mushrooms dry before you cook them.
  1. Put just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pot you are using. 
  2. Add the diced mushrooms
  3. Season them with your favorite seasonings
  4. Let them cook until they almost stick to the pan
  5. Stir them and repeat step 4
  6. Add red or green bell peppers and onion to taste
Voila! What a simple replacement for ground meat.

Mouth Spa "Tooth Powder” A Review

I am very mercurial about what I purchase especially products I have to put in my mouth. Also, I truly am the loud mouth that sees something and always says to anyone willing to pay attention, “I can make that at home”. Speaking of that, look forward to the ACOA Home Eco(nomics) Store opening in March 2012. Back to this spa for your mouth! This tooth powder is one of the best things I have purchased next to my first purchase of Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint soap in 1993.


So I smoked cigarettes for 5 years. I noticed that the bottom of my teeth (they are closer together) were getting quite stained. Also, I do not floss as often as I should….In steps Holistic Height’s Mouth Spa Tooth Powder. Do you know that feeling that you have after you get your teeth cleaned from the dentist? Well no dentist that I have went to (and I have been going on the regular since I was a child (my mom did not play when it came to our shoes and our teeth, lol) has been able to produce results like one (yeah 1) application of the tooth powder. I feel like a I have a brand new set of teeth and gums right now. No dentist visit ever made me feel like that.

This powder is child friendly as well. Both of my daughters love it. One of the ways that I use it is without water. I ether use it straight on the tooth brush and rinse when complete. Sometimes, I want a total spa experience I use it in conjunction with a natural fluoride free tooth paste. Either way it is ALWAYS a satisfying experience.

The reason I was prompted to write today is because two occasions this week I felt a scratchy throat coming on. I could feel the build up all in my sinus areas. When I wake up one of the first things I do is brush my teeth. I noticed that my throat felt immediately better after brushing with the tooth powder. Later in the evening I felt it again. I decided to brush again….Bammm! Scratchy throat done…Sinus irritation Done! I woke up this morning …my voice was hoarse though?. You can listen to me tonight on AC LIVE . I already brushed my teeth and my voice loosened up a bit. I am sippin on some tea right now and making sure I continue to only eat raw…but I can assure you if you tune in tonight the hoarseness will be gone!!!!

LOOK at what Holistic Heights has to say about their product….do the knowledge. “

Our products are free from added glycerin, dyes, fluoride, artificial sweeteners, silicates (sand), stabilizers, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or other toxic materials that damage teeth as well as health. We know that the capillaries in your mouth are open doors to your entire bloodstream. The widespread chronic infection of gums (gingivitis) is believed to contribute to heart disease. Whitens teeth, Tartar Control, Removes plaque, Kills bacteria & bad breathe, helps heal bleeding gums, reduces inflammation. Ingredients: Irish moss, Neem, Myrrh, Activated Charcoal (Carbon), Stevia, Cinnamon, Imported Caribbean Clove, & high quality, therapeutic grade essential oils.”

Finally! The tooth powder has officially made my AC HOME ESSENTIALS list also because it is economical. One jar lasts wayyyyyyy longer than your average toothpaste AND it is wayyyy better for you. All I am waiting for now is a commercial so I can advertise it on the Abundance Network. I love this stuff.

Day 6 : Juice Fast

Today's post is sponsored by Crew Royalty!

I know the video below says day 7 but it is really day 6 and I am loving it. The thing about fasting is being consistent. I am not a juicer. I am not into a whole lot of ceremony when it comes to  the practicality of fasting. Because I am no fast veteran I am doing a lot of experimenting. I am sharing what works for me. Take a look.




I strained the juice. I used the pulp from the juice in a guacamole.
I cut 1 avocado
Diced 5 Cherry Tomatoes
Diced one slice of Red Onion
Diced 1/4 of a Red Pepper
Onion Powder
Cilantro
Sea Salt
Lime

This is good by itself but I added about two spoonfuls of the pulp which loosens it up a bit.  I diced up one baby cucumber and gave it to A'nana for dinner. Oh yeah, she now is doing 40 days raw. She is doing great. Like I said, it is all about consistency AND Enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm. A'Nana is bookmarking all types of raw food recipes. I am really moved by her excitement and I am ready to get in the full swing of creating making sure she has the most amazing raw experience ever!

If you have any suggestions please comment. We will try them out and post what we do right here!!!!

Breathe with me.

Sit crossed legged with spine straight. With eyes closed, block right nostril with right hand and inhale slowly through left nostril. Hold your breath as long as possible. Finally exhale  slowly and as long as possible. Do this for 1 to 3 minutes.

Day 3: Just as happy as can be

Today was a really really chill day. Literally.  I woke up early to mad snow on the ground, got some proposal writing done, worked on a press kit, and dis some photo-blogging on my Abundance Child III facebook page. I watched two too many United States Homesteading movies with my mom and the girls. These people just came over here, got in their wagon trains, and set up shop all over Amexem...Straight Business. They went viral. smh. Now we hae to shop in their stores to get back to nature. Bananas!  Mea'Ra went outside and played in the snow. CRAZY! Then she had nerve to come in and prop her feet up under neath of my shirt to get warm because her feet were "frozen." I loved every second of it.

I talked to my children's tutor about A'Nana taking her test for her HS Diploma in a few weeks, SAT'S etc.. so that she can expand and start receiving some college credits towards what she wants to do.
By the way I am so proud of that girl...The train has already left the track!

While Mea'Ra warmed up with Nana (my mom), A'Nana and I went to the Hockessin Library Used Book Sale. There were over 60,000 books there. For $1/book I got $20 worth of books covering everything from astronomy and fengshui to "Cracks in the Constitution." We are going back tomorrow for Bargain Sunday where you can fill as many books as you can into a grocery bag for $6.

While my mom was at home baking my grandmother's famous pound cake, I decided to re up on some more essentials for the fast because I do not want Monday to come around and A'nana be distracted by all of the "comfort" food around us. Here is a little video we made of our excursion. I love my life and I am just as happy as can be! 3 days up and 87 more days to go!!!!!! Fearless!
