Holistic Chef Eddie's Tip of the Day #105

3/24/2020

Comments

 
Good Day fellow humans. We are all one, all the same, no difference except for the lifestyle we CHOOSE to live.  We all have the same physical makeup no matter if we are black, white, red, yellow, light brown, dark brown, doctor, lawyer, custodian, homeless, Muslim, Jew, Christian, etc.  I think that many of us realize that as a fact even more due to a virus that is going around.  It has no prejudice.  We are all in this together.  However, we are very powerful indeed because we have the power of CHOICE.  This time that has befallen the planet could be viewed as a wakeup call.  How are you living your life?  How are you treating your body?  Is your immune system strong?  What do you do daily to strengthen your resistance to illness?  There is no blame!!  No one country is to blame.  Illnesses that can be deadly have been around for centuries.  Many people have expected a magic pill to cure illness.  They continue making poor choices and lean on the medical community to heal them.  Well this time the medical community is stumped, big time.  So that finger that is pointing away from you turns around and is not pointing back at you.  It's your opportunity to take responsibility for your body.   Since we have the time during self quarantine to sort this out, we can fight back.  Here is a list of superfoods that are nutritionally dense, high in anti oxidants and anti bacterial.  I have included a delicious bowl that I call THE IMMUNE BOOSTER.  Delicious, soothing, powerful.  To your continued health and happiness!!
​
List of Superfoods (nutritionally dense, high in fiber, vitamins and anti oxidants)
1) Blueberries
2) Turmeric
3) Garlic
4) Ginger
5) Onions, shallots
6) Almonds
7) Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds
8) Kiwi
9) Citrus
10) Kale
11) Oily Fish (salmon, mackeral, sardines, etc)
12) Mushrooms
13) Bell Peppers
14) Broccoli
15) Avocado
16) Brussels Sprouts
17) Cinnamon
18) Parsley
19) Lemons and Limes
20)Beans

             THE IMMUNE BOOSTER
2 Frozen Bananas
1/4 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
Zest of one Organic Lemon (not waxed)
1 Echinacea Tea Bag
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Pour boiling water into one cup with an Echinacea Tea Bag.  Let it cool completely.  

In a blender or food processor add the Bananas, Turmeric, Ginger, Lemon Zest, the cooled Echinachea Tea and the Vanilla.  If it is not sweet enough you can add the sweetener of your choice EXCEPT sugar.  You can use stevia, monkfruit, honey or maple syrup to taste.  The bananas will usually make this sweet enough.

Pour into a bowl.  It will be nice and thick.  Top with Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Berries and/or Granola.  Delish!!!!

HOLISTIC CHEF EDDIE'S TIP OF THE DAY #103

1/24/2020

Comments

 
Hi everyone.  I've been taking a break from my Tip of the Day and Recipe for most of the month.  My Prostate Cancer of 2004 has returned and I have the incredible opportunity to heal myself yet again as I did in 2004.  I will continue the recipes and offer those that heal cancer for now. Today I give you RAW HUMMUS. I am blessed with this knowledge on healing myself and this is another opportunity to achieve the highest form of health as I did in 2004 and 2005.  I got the news last Saturday and went on a 3 day juice fast, colon cleanse and wheatgrass enemas starting last Monday.  I am doing this every day and started eating on Wednesday evening only raw cuisine with zero sugars.  I am so grateful to be given the knowledge on preparing foods and juices and a regimen that will heal me.  This includes being grateful each day; keeping a very positive, loving attitude each day; meditation; accupuncture; colon cleansing; deep tissue massage; helping others.  What an incredible opportunity to know and feel even deeper that Holistic Healing works and that I can help others with the wisdom I have.  At 73 (March 2nd) I am a role model living a healthy lifestyle.  Anyone can do this with just a commitment and consistency.  Come join me on this incredible adventure.  
                     RAW HUMMUS​

2 cups Sprouted Chickpeas (can be purchased in refrigerated section at Whole Foods Market from Glaser Farms) otherwise see instruction #1 below.
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Purified Water
3 Tablespoons Raw Tahini
1 teaspoon Himilayan Salt
3 cloves Garlic, chopped
4 teaspoons Ground Cumin
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
1 Lemon, juiced 
Parsley for garnish
1/2 teaspoon Ground Pepper
1 teaspoon Ground Sumac
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1)  If you cannot buy already sprouted Chickpeas, then place 2 cups of Chickpeas in water and let them soak overnight.  Drain the water and place the Chickpeas in a collander.  Rinse them thoroughly with cold water and place the collander over a bowl to catch the drippings of water.  Each morning and night rinse the peas with cold water for 2 days until a tail is visible on the Chickpea.  It's now ready to use.
2)  Pour water, 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salt, Raw Tahini, Cumin, Cayenne, Lemon Juice in a high powered blender (Vita Mix for example).  Blend well.  Add the Sprouted Chickpeas and continue to blend adding more Salt if necessary and ground Black Pepper (to taste).  
3)  You should be able to use the plunger  when using a Vita Mix if the mixture is too thick and needs help processing to smooth.  Add Extra Virgin Olive Oil to thin it out if too thick.  Remember, when refrigerated the Hummus will get thicker anyway so don't thin it out too much.  
4)  To serve, place the hummus on a large plate.  Create a well in the center (not too deep) and pour a bit of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the well.  Then sprinkle Ground Sumac and chopped Parsley over the Hummus.  It is so delicious.  Don't eat the whole recipe yourself. Please share!!!
