Tabouli Salad

Tabouli Salad
Fellow clean eater, Jennie Zraick, often comes up with some simple and delicious recipes. She recently responded to a request to post her Tabouli salad recipe. Like me, Jennie needed to measure out the ingredients since she normally eye-balls the ingredients in true KISS fashion. The Tabouli salad can be modified to your taste, so feel free to experiment.

Cutting herbs with multi-blade scissorsA key tool she swears by is the multi-blade scissors. It makes quick work of chopping up herbs making it her favorite kitchen tool. Here's a link if you want to purchase one: multi-blade herb scissors.

This recipe uses a whole bunch of parsley. You'll see the value of the multi-blade scissors if you end up chopping it with a knife like I did. Parsley is the main ingredient for this salad. It's a great cancer-fighting food, high in antioxidants, rich in vitamin C and alkalizing in the body. Next time you find a sprig of it sitting on your plate, don't discount this herb as decoration. It's REAL power food. Eat it! Besides it's a great breath freshener.

I hope you were able to watch and learn from The Truth About Cancer: A Global Quest docu-series. Perhaps you even invested in the videos— I did —and plan on watching again to get the maximum benefit and so you can pass the videos on to friends and family. I hope you got that there is not just one way to heal from cancer without harm to your body, but multiple. You can put together a protocol that works for you—with or without the help of a practitioner. I told you I would be passing on valuable educational opportunities so you could be as knowledgeable as me about your health. If you look to the so-called healthcare system (really should be called disease management ) you may not succeed in getting healthy. You really are in control of your health. Talk About Food Getting to the heart of how we become healthy and heal from disease or avoid disease in the first place, we must look at food .

I must have more recipes for butternut squash than any other food. I love it cooked in so many different ways.

But don't wait for a rainy day to try it—it's too good to wait. Besides we seem to be entering another dry spell here in California and you know we need the rain.

Redesigned Carrot Cupcakes Recipe

Image
This is the second Carrot Cupcake  recipe I've created. I decided the first recipe could be easier and, yes, even yummier. So I set about to make a newer, better recipe. Motivated by the upcoming celebration of our son's marriage to his college sweetheart, I spent the week before the event (dubbed the I Do BBQ ) planning, shopping and making the dishes and dessert. Our son Nur and his college sweetheart Annaliese met over 11 years ago. Nur participated in the Anime club on campus and met Annaliese there. Smitten from their first meeting, Nur spent much of the years winning her over—a true romantic tale. Both being minimalists and creatures of habit, they seem made for each other, highlighted by their love of Anime and annual vacation to Comic-Con in San Diego . The two lovebirds married in a private ceremony at San Francisco City Hall (a beautiful and cheap venue) on June 19th. The I Do BBQ allowed the extended family to meet Annaliese and share their well-wishes with the newl...
