Raw Foods Group

The Hot Springs Village Raw Foods Group met at my house today for our monthly meeting.  Cindy has been such a great inspiration and organizer to get everything going.  We asked people to bring a raw food dish or pay $5.00 to help with the cost of the food.  We had wraps (romaine leaves) and many choices to go in the wraps....baby tomatoes, chives, cucumber, mushrooms, olives, carrots, asparagus, parsley, Cashew Cream Cheese and Quick Guacomole.  Cindy brought kelp noodles, gazpacho, another salad, and lots of fruits and veggies.  I made a vegetable juice with beets, celery, carrots, kale, beet tops, and apple.  Cindy made a fruit smoothie with mango, banana, apple, kale, watermelon, dates, and water.


The recipe for the Quick Guacomole was posted on April 13.  Quick Guacomole.


Here is the recipe for the Cashew Cream Cheese:

1 cup cashews (soaked 30 min)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (soaked 30 min) ...*I was out of sunflower seeds so substituted chia seeds.
1 Tbs nutritional yeast
1 Tbs lemon juice
1/2 cup water
Sea salt and pepper
Blend all in Vitamix.  Add fresh chives if desired.
Use in the veggie wraps.

I have finished the first Anastasia book.  Book two is entitled The Ringing Cedars of Russia.  Anastasia says we need purer thoughts and an understanding of Nature.  The first thought in the morning should be delight in the coming day.  Nature is always communicating with us, but we can't discern it when we have our electronic devices turned on.  Be still and know....

According to the anatomy lesson in my Lifestyle Consultant's Course on Natural Living baldness is not related to aging.  The hair follicles are not destroyed.  It is a deliberate, systemic evolution of them.  Androgenic hormones are causing baby hairs to grow and scalp hairs to die.  The scalp follicles become very small, causing men to become progressively balder.  Baldness is not an affliction.

To health and happiness.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
