4th of July Mushroom Burgers

I have been feeling a bit under the weather.  I don't feel sick, I just feel like I don't want to be around people.  My mentor and teacher, Dr. John Fielder, says that unless we are squeaky clean in our habits when we are around people living an unhealthy lifestyle, it will drain our energy.  So his prescription is don't stay up too late, don't eat in restaurants, exercise in the fresh air and sunlight and get plenty of rest.  That is my my problem...I haven't been squeaky clean enough.

We are getting ready to celebrate the 4th of July - Independence Day.  Happy birthday America.  We are expecting our daughter, Molly, SIL Ken, and grandkids Zac, Braeden and Ashlyn to come celebrate with us.  I will try to not do too many unhealthy things.  We have plans to do the traditional hamburgers and hot dogs.  Here is a recipe I read about on Raw for $10 a Day that I will double for Mushroom Burgers.

Mushroom Burgers

1/2 red bell pepper
1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
10 oz box of sliced mushrooms
1/3 cup walnuts
1/2 white onion
1 hot pepper
1 stalks of celery
2 tbsp olive oil

Dehydrate the mushrooms for 2 hours. 
In the Vitamix liquify the red pepper.  Add water as needed.  Add the flax seeds and let it soak for 15 minutes until the flax seeds get gooey.
In the food processor chop the mushrooms, walnuts, hot pepper, onion and celery until finely chopped.  Stir in the red pepper and flax mixture and the olive oil.

Form this into burgers and place on a teflex sheet.  Coat the sheets with a little oil to keep the burgers from sticking.  Dehydrate for 2 hours.  Flip onto dehydrator screen and dehydrate another 2 hours.

Serve burgers on lettuce leaves with avocado mayo and chopped onions.

Avocado Mayo
1 ripe avocado
1 tsp agave nectar
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp vinegar

Blend all ingredients together with a fork until creamy. 

We stopped at a roadside stand near Donaldson, AR and bought melons and tomatoes.  The melons were the best of the season.

The garage sale is ready to begin.  We had a garage sale on Friday and Saturday.  It was a big success.

We always love it when the grandkids can go to church with us.  Here we are on Sunday.

After church we went to Whole Foods in Little Rock with Molly.

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...

Dr. John Fielder's Visit

My Natural Hygiene teacher and mentor, Dr. John Fielder, included us again on his Worldwide Raw Food Lecture Tour.  He arrived at my house on Monday, May 14.  Tuesday we had a raw foods dinner at the house for a few of the people that helped to organize the events here in Arkansas.   Wednesday, the Hot Springs Village Raw Foods Group met at Gulpha Gorge Picnic Area for a picnic with Dr. Fielder.  Wednesday night he made a presentation here in Hot Springs Village about the Principles of Natural Living.  The following night he spoke at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Little Rock.  There was a good crowd at both events.  Dr. John Fielder Here I am introducing Dr. Fielder at the HSV lecture. At the lecture we served some raw food treats for our guests to sample.  One of the items was a chocolate granola bar.  I cut the squares much smaller for this event because of the number of people we had to serve.
