This salad contains:

*Organic Green Beans.  Blanch the beans in boiling water for 3 minutes then put them in an ice bath to cool. Drain.
*Organic Heirloom Tomatoes, cut up.
*Organic Baby Cucumbers, sliced thin.

BASIL SALAD DRESSING

1/ 4 cup organic olive oil

1/4 cup organic lemon juice

1 tbs organic gluten free Tamari

Eggplant and Arugula Wraps with Young Living Lemon, Lime, and Oregano Essential Oils

August 28, 2014 By Liz Pilotto

eggplant

Ingredients

  • 1 medium eggplant  (the bigger is not better. It can be tough and bitter)
  • 1 red onion
  • 3 cups firmly packed arugula
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • 1 drop oregano essential oil
  • 3 drops each lemon and lime essential oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • Cream of Balsamic (I used Isola, Blood Orange)

Directions

  • Cut the eggplant into thin circles. Lay the eggplant out evenly on paper towels. Generously salt both sides. Let them sit and sweat 30 minutes. It will keep the eggplant tender and take away any bitterness.
  • Put arugula in a bowl. Mix together the squeezed lemon, the three essential oils, and olive oil. Mix well. Pour over the arugula and toss in the pecans. Mix all together so all the arugula is well coated.
  • Cut the red onion thick enough to grill without falling apart.
  • Spray oil on the eggplant and onion. Grill them up.
  • Now it is time to assemble. Take a piece of the grilled eggplant, put some of the arugula salad in the center, a piece of grilled onion on top, and toothpick it together.  Line the assembled eggplants on a serving dish and drizzle the cream of balsamic over the top of them all.

QUINOA BREAKFAST CEREAL

August 26, 2014 By Liz Pilotto

photo (45)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup organic white quinoa, washed.
  • 1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (Elmhurst. Elmhurst.com or Thrive Market)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic cinnamon
  • 1 organic apple, chopped
  • 1 tbs. Organic flax meal
  • Raw organic pumpkin seeds (GoRaw. Thrive Market, Vitacost or Amazon)
  • Organic Coconut cream
  • organic granulated maple sugar to taste

Directions

Place the first 3 ingredients in a sauce pan and bring it to a boil. Turn it down and let it simmer 15-20 minutes, covered.  If it thickens too much add more almond milk.
To keep some raw in the diet, when the cereal is cooked, then add all the toppings.
The sweet crunch of the apple is the best. Add flax and pumpkin seeds for roughage and omegas. To keep in the theme of an alkaline morning add almonds for a favorite nut.
Coconut cream will give it a sweet creamy texture, and with added yacon syrup
it will keep it more low glycemic than with any other sweetener.

at least 30 minutes.

Quinoa is first. Beat the 1 egg OR chia egg into the quinoa. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix well into the quinoa. Evenly spread on the bottom of the lasagna pan. Shake a bit of red pepper flakes on the quinoa.

Next, thickly spread the 6 cups of refried black beans. Try not to disturb the quinoa layer on the bottom. Sprinkle with the powdered cumin and ancho chile. Salt and pepper to taste.

Layer on the zucchini, strips of red pepper, and grilled red onion.

Pour the 16 oz. jar of salsa over the entire top of the lasagna.

Kale Chips Flavored with Young Living Essential Oil

August 4, 2014 By Liz Pilotto

photo (41)

Directions

Wash kale well in cold salt water. Drain. Strip the kale from the stem. Tear into bite size pieces. You can spin them dry in a salad spinner or lay them on a towel to dry out. The dryer the kale, the crisper they will be able to cook up.
Arrange them well spaced on a cookie sheet so they can crisp up.
There are many varieties of oil sprayers, you will need one. Again, Amazon carries just about everything!

For every 1/4 cup of oil you can add:

  • 3-4 drops lemon oil
  • 1 drop of the stronger oils such as rosemary, oregano, thyme, basil.

It is pretty much up to you to use the oil you love most.
Mix the essential oils in the cooking oil of your choice and put it in your sprayer.
Spray the kale. Use your hands to work the oil into the kale.
Season with salt and pepper.
Bake 270 degrees for 30 minutes. Halfway through cooking time move the kale around so it crisps evenly.
