SPOILER ALERT - THIS IS NOT A 100% VEGAN OR VEGETARIAN SHARE</div>
<br />
The week past has been busy getting back into the routine of working, teaching, studying, and cooking vegan meals, however, the Sunday after Thanksgiving, I cooked fresh red pasta sauce, steamed broccoli, roasted cauliflower, and sauteéd cabbage. <br />

VEGAN - Today for lunch, it's vegan heaven. Have you ever heard of "Jo-Jo" Potatoes? MMMmmm, it's an Oregon thing I have heard. In fact, someone in Las Vegas (while on an unexpected trip there) spoke about Jo-Jo's. Check it out...<br />
Unfiltered Olive Oil<br /> Black Truffle Salt <br />Get these from Durant at Red Ridge Farms in Dayton, OR<br />

This little spicy number is Volcano Sparkle from<br />
Marshall's Haute Sauce in Portland. Oh wow!<br />
<br />
This is not only amazing on potatoes, but in guacamole<br />or beans.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Jo-Jo's</u><br />
I used an air fryer for these potatoes and simply toss them in a mix in a large mixing bowl. Season with the following prior to about 16-20 minutes in the air fryer. <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Olive oil</li>
<li>Truffle salt</li>
<li>Fresh parsley flakes </li>
<li>Garlic pepper</li>
<li>Volcano Sparkle (to taste)</li>
</ul>
About 8 minutes in, remove and toss again in the bowl. Finish cooking to desired doneness. Note: I used three russet potatoes. For specific amounts on the mixture ingredients above, ask me!<br />

Thanksgiving Dinner Secrets and Recipes- NON VEGAN!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Depending on the size of your turkey when cooking for family, consider a few amazing suggestions. If you have specific questions, please ask me.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Apple-Sausage Stuffing (thank you to Ms. Hazel Cooper in 1990 with my own tweaks)</li>
<li>Bottomless award-winning gravy (my own award haha) </li>
<li>Yams with pizzazz </li>
</ul>
<div>
<u>Apple-Sausage Stuffing</u></div>
<div>
First of all, this year we decided NOT to stuff the bird which allowed us to enjoy a crisp and carmelized stuffing straight from the oven. If you prefer a more soft stuffing, put it in the bird!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1 lb Chicken Breakfast Sausage (available at Whole Foods Market or New Leaf Market)</div>
<div>
1 diced whole onion </div>
<div>
6 diced stalks of celery</div>
<div>
8 oz diced mushrooms (optional)</div>
<div>
Fresh herbs (try to use a coffee bean grinder to prep thyme, sage, and a pinch of rosemary)</div>
<div>
1 cup fresh chopped parsley (this is a huge secret to delicious stuffing!)</div>
<div>
1-2 grated apples (depending on amount)</div>
<div>
1 cube of butter (more or less depending on your taste)</div>
<div>
Fresh sourdough bread cubes or use the bread of your choice</div>
<div>
Fresh turkey stock to moisten</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cook the sausage, add onions, celery, and mushrooms. Once soft and onions are transparent, add fresh herbs (except parsley) and a cube of butter. When butter is melted, toss in parsley, bread and grated apple. Add broth to the desired amount. Cook in a glass baking dish, uncovered about 45 minutes turning once. Note: you may need to reserve this and cook it later when the bird is almost ready. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bottomless Gravy - Tips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Make a pot of turkey stock with a whole onion, two cloves of garlic, celery leaves and tops, a carrot or two, salt, and turkey parts such as a thigh, wings, necks, and or breast bones. Reserve this for basting the turkey and for making gravy. The other secrets you will need to contact me to get.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yams - Tips (thank you to Grandma Eve in 1985)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Use fresh yams that are either boiled or roasted and then peeled. Dice them up and place them in a pan while sprinkling with brown sugar, a few pinches of Tang orange juice powder, freshly squeezed orange juice (not much) and spices such as clove, nutmeg, etc. Add a decent amount of thinly sliced butter (or coconut butter) and cover while roasting. Add fresh marshmallows for the last 5-10 minutes to desired brownness. Yummy and it can be VEGAN if you use coconut butter!</div>

The busy work week is enough, and then there's the holiday week for a typical Thanksgiving feast with family and friends. Being prepared is crucial to the fuel tank we all have; don't let it get to "empty," and at least keep it over a half full. So maybe you are not a fan of preparation days, that's okay. Visit your local produce department for some ideal time-savers. Some Sundays I make things with no end-goal such as stock. It's always on hand in the freezer if I need something in a jiffy. On that note, I never thaw frozen items such as soup, broth, legumes, etc. in the microwave. I always do these things on the stovetop. It keeps the integrity of the food intact.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is what's cooking today...</span></div>
<ul>
<li>No-Bake Granola and Mini Chip Squares (recipe follows)</li>
<li>Kitchen Sink Vegetable Stock (recipe follows)</li>
<li>Veg Dumplings or Pot Stickers (recipe follows)</li>
<li>Lemonade Infused With Lavender</li>
</ul>
<u><b>No-Bake Granola and Mini-Chip Squares</b></u><br />
2 C Organic Rolled Oats<br />
3/4 C Organic Ground Flaxseed<br />
3/4 C Organic Pitted and Chopped Dates<br />
1/2 C Organic Mini-Chips<br />
1/4 C Organic Shredded and Unsweetened Coconut<br />
1/4 C Organic Pepitas (Pumpkin Seeds)<br />
3/4 C Organic Almond Butter<br />
3/4 C Organic Coconut Oil<br />
3/4 C Organic Honey<br />
<br />
Stir all dry ingredients together. Chopping the dates might be easier in a food processor along with about half of the Flaxseed. Using a double boiler, melt the coconut oil. Put all ingredients together in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Press onto a waxpaper-lined baking dish and press the mixture firmly into a flat layer.<br />
Chill for at least two hours.<br />
To ease cutting, use a pizza cutter.<br />
Enjoy! Lasts for almost two weeks in air-tight containers.<br />

<b><u><br />Veg Dumplings or Pot Stickers</u></b><br />
1 Package Organic (if available) Wonton or Gyoza Wrap<br />
1 C Organic Mushrooms (finely chopped in food processor - Crimini or 1/2 Shitake and 1/2 White or Crimini is best)<br />
1 C Organic Shredded Cabbage<br />
1/4 C Organic Waterchestnuts (finely chopped in food processor)<br />
1 Clove Organic Minced Garlic<br />
Fresh Grated Ginger (optional) 1/4-1/2 t<br />
Organic Olive Oil and Sesame Oil for Sauté and Flavor<br />
* Optional - 1 T Organic Chopped Cilantro or 1 T Organic Chopped Green Onions<br />
<br />
Mix all ingredients except mushrooms, optional herbs, and oil. Sauté all vegetables in a small amount of olive oil until soft, not overcooked. Allow to cool slightly, add mushrooms and herbs and sesame oil to taste. Also, add salt and white pepper being sure not to over-season. Prepare per wonton or gyoza package (i.e. around 1 1/2 tsp filling in the center of a wrap. Seal wrap by dabbing water with a finger around the edges. Press closed.<br />
<br />
For Gyoza: Cook in a bamboo steamer lined with wax paper (for no-stick) or prepare by frying the bottom in a coated frying pan, once brown, add water or mild vegetable broth, cover and steam to finish the cooking process.<br />
Serve with a dipping sauce such as Organic Tamari, White Vinegar, and Chili Oil or another sauce of choice.<br />
<br />
For Wontons: Gently add to vegetable broth (homemade or store-bought, being sure to read labels to avoid added sugar, maltodextrin, or other sweeteners) on a low, rolling boil for approximately 5 minutes. Add fresh sliced green onions just before serving. Option - add mixed vegetables such as pea pods, bamboo shoots, and sliced bok choy for a vegetable wonton soup.<br />

</tbody></table>
Yes, I did say "Kitchen Sink" vegetable stock. It's so easy to grab what's in the refrigerator and make it stretch into a stock that can be used for numerous other dishes such as:<br />
<ul>
<li>Sipping broth on a cold Fall weather day</li>
<li>A base for other soups or gravies (last week I used it in the Roasted Red Pepper Soup)</li>
<li>For use in your vegan Thanksgiving stuffing</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b><u>Kitchen Sink Vegetable Stock </u></b></div>
<div>
What went in today's stock?</div>
<ul>
<li>1 1/2 Organic Yellow Onion (skin and all, for color)</li>
<li>1/2 Head Organic Garlic</li>
<li>Leafy Organic Celery Tops and Celery Pieces</li>
<li>Organic Carrots</li>
<li>Organic Fennel Bulb</li>
<li>Organic Broccoli Stalks</li>
<li>Organic Radish Tops</li>
<li>Salt </li>
</ul>
<div>
Note: I do not use fresh herbs in stock because I want to choose those flavors based on what I am using the stock for.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally, if you want to use the stock and vegetables as a meal, strain the solids, discard skins and peels, etc. Add desired herbs such as fresh thyme and parsley. Return to simmer for 30-60 more minutes, then add the solids back and puree the soup in a blender to make it thick and hearty. Serve it with fresh-toasted bread and a swirl of organic olive oil or cashew cream. Will post the cashew cream recipe next week.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Other tips and tricks</span></div>
<div>
With vegan cheese and olive enchiladas on tomorrow night's menu, accompanied by pinto beans (frozen a few weeks ago), I will prepare 'mostly-store-bought' pico de gallo so I can serve some texture (crunchy chips) on the side with guacamole.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Go ahead, buy the store-prepared pico de gallo which is available in most prepped food sections of your local produce section. I often pick out at least half of the jalapeños and replace them with tiny, diced fresh tomatoes. Then, I add salt and fresh-squeezed lime to the pico. Delicious! And it lasts about 2-3 more days. (Don't eat it when those onions become transparent)</div>
<div>

<div>
Purchase Culinary Lavender at specialty markets or at Durant at Red Ridge Farms</div>

My mother was an amazing cook and the talent ran deep in her Italian family!<br />

What spinach? Ever notice how a mountain of spinach sauteed becomes a tiny portion? I started with adding about 6 cups of raw baby spinach to the sauteed mushrooms and olive oil, along with some fresh-pressed garlic. Then I added diced Kalamata olives and diced tomatoes. Topped it off with the delicious olive oil and truffle salt. Super savory!</div>

After about 8 months of eating mostly Vegan (with a touch of Vegetarian), a family emergency sent me out of state and in a hospital, helping my loved one recover. The food choices were less-than-desired and I found myself having a few bits of chicken and bacon. The downward spiral of even just a few amounts of animal protein made me feel horrible, my sleep was poor, and I couldn't wait to get back on track.</div>

What's on your plans for the weekend?<br />
<br />
For me, a trip to the city sounds like a good idea soon! Pictures, walking and maybe a fun bistro!<br />

Magic Foods List is always a great option, it's been a bit more tough for me though because I have been doing a lot of vegan meals over the past few months. Here's one of my meals today that was a grab-n-go lunch while on the road in between classes and teaching.</span><br>
<br>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Leftover salmon</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Kimchi</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Cherry tomatoes</span></li>

<br />
...Getting back to our first post, did you know what HFCS is?<br />
<br />
HFCS is High Fructose Corn Syrup. Have you noticed it is in so many products? It's mind-boggling. A man made substance is used by food manufacturers because it enhances their profits. Its cheap!<br />
<br />
Cereal, pasta sauce, cookies (not on the Magic Foods List), ketchup, meal replacement bars, salad dressings, sandwich bread are just some of the examples of where you will see this listed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkweGa_j-QN4BZf3gg7Lypz7Fb1G2AQTUQRLrcA9wjR3ITm0gy3_gpAS52yQ70w_cdMQ60SUsWThhvkovUhfp04c_dBfEd8Vqzosns0mFzD8Zn17lWTR2DiyVzgt1Wfdiq8d2i4-QtWrE/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="461" data-original-width="729" height="126" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkweGa_j-QN4BZf3gg7Lypz7Fb1G2AQTUQRLrcA9wjR3ITm0gy3_gpAS52yQ70w_cdMQ60SUsWThhvkovUhfp04c_dBfEd8Vqzosns0mFzD8Zn17lWTR2DiyVzgt1Wfdiq8d2i4-QtWrE/s200/FullSizeRender.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It didn't even hit the food market until about the 1970s and it is very toxic! Your body does not process the calories in this substance but it's not the corn syrup that is the problem, it's the FRUCTOSE - a sugar that naturally occurs in fruit, honey, etc. It's made up of two substances in fact. GLUCOSE and FRUCTOSE. Glucose can be burned as a source of immediate energy, stored in your liver or muscles for later use. However, fructose is not used as an immediate source of energy, it metabolizes into fat. <br />
<br />
While the fructose you get naturally through fruit and honey won't make you fat, eating HFCS can be compared to setting up an IV that pumps fat directly into your gut. The worst offenders? Soda...<br />
<br />
Although sugar in general should be consumed in moderation, stay away from HFCS. If you do have any sugar, keep it as sugar, cane sugar or sucrose,<br />
<br />
What can you eliminate from your refrigerator now? Surely there will be at least a few items that have HFCS. If you are looking for substitutes, please ask! <br />
<br />
Have a great evening and we will love to hear from you!<br />

We will double the communications to Facebook and hope that will work for the challenge...we will consider since not ALL could access, <b><u>we will begin again on 9/11 for two weeks</u></b>. The contest will end on 9/25.<br />
<br />
What were your challenges personally if you began this week?<br />
<br />
Here's a nice tip for a MFL meal:<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><i>Salmon</i></b> - get filets and rinse, dry and place skin-side down on a two-layered foil surface (you will place it directly on the grill) or a disposable foil cookie sheet. Season with dry seasoning<br />
McCormick<br />
Grill Mates<br />
Belgian-Style White Ale<br />
Grill on medium for 15 minutes with the lid closed on BBQ.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Brown Rice</i></b> - you will use rice cooker. First take 1/2 yellow or white onion and saute with olive oil, garlic and smoky salt or other yummy salt, chopped parsley or parsley tube. Once onions are either caramelized or translucent, add the water needed for rice then move to rice cooker.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Roasted Vegetables</i></b> - use chopped broccoli and cauliflower or any other veggies you like to roast. Clean them and place in large bowl, add olive oil and season salt as well as fresh herbs or use the tube! Roast in a non-stick roasting pan or other large dish for approximately 30-45 minutes at 375. **This is a great way to do potatoes as well!<br />
<br />
Please ask questions or post comments!<br />

<br />
Time to put our health in front of us and make some positive steps to having a clean and yummy food plan. There are so many directions one can go in this regard. My suggestion is the Magic Foods List for around 14-20 days (ideal end is on Friday 9/15) and make some slight adjustments by tweaking the components of this plan to help continue the results.<br />
<br />
We'd love to hear your ideas, recipes and questions.<br />
<br />
Have fun and be safe this weekend! I will be posting daily!<br />
<br />

news. Today was. I went to the doc today for this flu and learned I lost 6
pounds these last two weeks. The highlight of the day. Hopefully that visit
will result in better news with a negative strep test...</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
Been sick all weekend but have been incorporating the Magic Foods List (MFL) since 10/31 with the exception of a weekend in Seattle and Grandkids plus dinner out one night and another evening out this past week. It's not that bad one you get the hang of it and I am starting to feel better!
<br />
<br />
After my annual physical a few weeks ago, it really sunk in that my work environment in a sedentary day job has made it easy for me to put on unwanted pounds. Not teaching at the gym hasn't helped. I am making it into the gym a little bit, but not nearly enough. Thankfully I can still whip through a strenuous hike with no problem. Really time to get this all worked on!
<br />
<br />
Hardest thing on MFL is being prepared. Once you get past the initial 3-4 days, it's easier and you feel so good!
The food is satisfying and actually a lot more than you can imagine. The weekend consisted of healthy meals but not so much prep as I'd hoped. Here are the highlights and big thanks to my handsome and supportive husband who is on board with me as well...he is a great cook!
<br />
<br />
<b>Saturday
</b><br />
<b>------------</b>
<br />
2 poached eggs
<br />
Roasted potatoes
<br />
Sliced tomatoes <br />
Greens First capsules**
<br />
<br />
Tuna with rice cakes <br />
Celery sticks
<br />
<br />
Grilled salmon
<br />
Brown rice cooked with vegetable broth and spike seasoning
<br />
Grilled baby bok choy
<br />
<br />
<b>Sunday
</b><br />
<b>----------</b>
<br />
1 egg
<br />
Scoop of brown rice
<br />
Greens First capsules **
<br />
<br />
Egg salad made with <b>Primal Kitchen Mayonnaise </b>(made with avocado oil and no sugar)
Capers for topping
<br />
Rice cakes
<br />
Celery sticks
<br />
<br />
Filet mignon
<br />
Boiled potatoes in vegetable broth with garden chives
<br />
Arugula salad with cherry tomatoes with <b>Homemade Dressings Italian Garden Salad Dressing Mix </b>(with herbs and no sugar)
<br />
<br />
<b>OTHER NOTES:</b>
I usually reserve black coffee for the weekends and find that if I want a tasty creamer substitute (which I can do without), <b>Better Half Dairy Free Unsweetened Coconut Cream Almondmilk </b>can be a tasty addition.
<br />
<br />
DON'T FORGET TO HYDRATE WHEN YOU DRINK COFFEE!
<br />
<br />
EFA (omega and fish oils) are consumed 1x a day along with other necessary vitamins.
<br />
<br />
Vitamins are included in my daily where there is a deficit of nutrients or where they have a specific benefit to me, healthwise. Ask if you have questions.
<br />
<br />
Finally, send questions or comment!
If you are interested in a copy of the Magic Foods List or complimentary information-packed Camp Manual that will help motivate you and give you ideas for working out and nutrition, please let me know. The Camp Manual needs to be mailed, so email me your address. beth@bethmidfitness.com
<br />
<br />
Stay focused on health and taking care of yourself!

On the flight home from Atlanta, Georgia, I am fully loaded for the 2 layovers to California and home. <br /><br />I loved the book, Wild, and will now be interested in seeing the movie. As usual, my only reading time is on an airplane, in the pedicure chair at the nail salon or the rare and short read before sleep. Hiking is one of my most favorite pastimes and I look forward to opportunities to do it as much as possible! To think of doing a backpacking trip and the transformation that would take place is so exciting. I know that my best friend and love of my life and I will take on this journey later this year or next Spring. <br />The transformation that occurs in a day hike is more the wonderful and you will know this once you do it. I cannot wait until Sunday to hike!<br /><br />Back to the airplane -- just about to make the first stop in Houston, Texas. Oh how I wish the layovers didn't mean "butts stay in seats" because I would love to peruse the airport! People to watch, new book titles to discover and pricy treats to mull over before. Fun!<br /><br />On to the next book, A Walk in the Woods, which is another book about hiking! My babe had this one already on the shelf as Bill Bryson is a favorite author of his. Ironically, this title is a movie now too! So much to see and do! I prefer to read the book first, then see the movie...<br /><br />Of the books I've read before watching the movie:<br /><br />The Secret Life of Bees - by Sue Monk Kidd<br />Big Fish - by Daniel Wallace <br />The Lovely Bones - by Alice Sebold<br />The Notebook - by Nicholas Sparks <br />Message in a Bottle - same<br />A Time to Remember - same<br /><br />My preference is reading the paper or hardcover books as the feel, smell and look of a book is so unique.<br /><br />~Beth<br /><br />Posted by Beth using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Beth Humphreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08930259796286799862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658288464200378423.post-79332009691633388492015-05-12T14:35:00.001-07:002015-05-12T19:41:19.596-07:00Perspective Time to get ready for the 3rd "group hike" of the season and cannot wait!!

SUMMARY
