"U Can't Stuff This!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlitbJKaYy0&feature=related

November – 30 days of JOY ahead,
plan to share our cookies, pie & hummus!

Slow down a bit & stir up something healthy for yourself and everyone around you!

Enjoy these healthy eats & treats recipes:

Pumpkin Cookies:
   1 large can of pumpkin (29 oz.)
   6 cups sifted flour
   3 tsp. baking soda
   3/4 tsp. salt
   3 tsp. cinnamon
   1 tsp. nutmeg
   1 1/2 cups butter
   3 cups sugar
   3 tsp. vanilla
   3 cups raisins
   3 cups walnuts

Cream butter, sugar,vanilla, add pumpkin. Sift flour,soda, salt and spices add a little of this dry mix at a time to the wet, adding in raisins and walnuts mixing thoroughly. This recipe is big for a Kitchen Aide mixer bowl so use caution and mix well. Refrigerate the dough overnight for best results. Dollop out teaspoon size cookies about 1" apart on parchment covered cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes This batch makes a lot of cookies and they taste best when served up to about five days old. So freeze 1/2 the dough and enjoy fresh cookies. This is the greatest cookie dough, (because there is no egg to spoil), so make them and stick them in the refrigerator. This dough freezes well and can also double as a mini muffin.

Raw Pie Crust:
2 cups pecans
   1 cup walnuts
   1 cup almonds
   1 cup pitted chopped dates

First grind the almonds until dust but before butter stage. Set almond dust to the side. Process pecans, walnuts and dates till dough ball forms in food processor. Pour mixture into a pie dish and using a spoon, press to form a crust.

Raw Pumpkin Pie:
2 cups raw pumpkin chopped small
   1 8 oz. jar Better Than Roasted nut butter
   Apricot Kernel Almond Butter
   3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
   4 Tablespoons Raw Honey
   ½ tsp nutmeg
   ½ tsp ginger
   1 Tablespoon psyllium hulls (fine ground)

In a blender or food processor combine all ingredients till smooth. The consistency should be that of pancake batter. Pour into prepared pie crust and chill over night. If you are not into the calories of the pie crust, this makes a fabulous pudding that you may sprinkle nuts on.

RAW SWEET POTATO HUMMUS:
3 cups sweet potatoes (peeled & chopped)
4 garlic cloves
1/4 cup raw tahini
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. tamari
1/4 cup filtered water
1 1/2 tsp. Himalayan salt
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Mix all ingredients in blender until smooth.

Our Purpose is Your Well-Being!

May 2011 Newsletter

Consciousness Matters came to me a while back as a result of witnessing Masaru Emoto’s book,
“The Hidden Messages in Water” . . .

What does this mean to you? You are what you think . . Since you are made up of 60% water, your crystalline structure has the ability to change.

I challenge you to do an experiment.
When someone asks you . . . How are you?
Respond with . . . “I am beautiful and perfect the way I am right now” . . . To hard to remember?
Just say “Fabulous!” or “Glorious!” or “Grateful!”

See how many more smiles you generate that day . . .
As you choose to elevate the people around you, you will elevate yourself & the world around you!

May you be blessed with endless joys,
May you welcome in the new,
May you glorify all your good,
May you consciously create a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious month!

With that in mind here are a few video finds of the month:

Juice Fast with Us!!!

May 12th – 19th
Spring time invigorates us with new life, brilliant colors & spring cleaning!

This May, we invite you to become more mindful, more aware of who you are and where you are on your path toward higher consciousness and health. If we choose to be on purpose the universe opens doors and things miraculously fall into place. This is what cleaning out the old and making way or allowing the new to come in is all about.

This May – Dr. Jude is conducting a juice fast and she is inviting you to participate. Why fast?

Bach Flower Essences
In the 1930s Dr. Bach decided to find a simple system that combined nature and homeopathy. Dr. Bach observed flowers and discovered connections between specific flowers and certain emotional states. Using flower essences allows your body to deal with emotional issues that block your well being. Flower essences are your allies in the struggle to take another step on your personal path,
your emerging self.

* Your Body is a Busy Machine!

You probably pay little attention to the working of your body and take it for granted like most people do, as it keeps ticking away day after day! Do you know what goes on in your body over a 24 hour period?

Your heart beats about 103,690 times.
Your blood travels 168 million miles.
You breathe 23,240 times
You inhale 438 cubic feet of air.
You eat at least 3.25 pounds of food.
You drink 3 quarts of liquid.
You activate 7 million brain cells.
You speak 7,800 words (not all of them necessary of course).
You use 750 muscles (many of them unconsciously).
At night, you turn in your sleep 25-30 times.

Did you ever consider how perfectly your body is tuned and controlled – how your blood pressure is normally regulated at just the right level? How a normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees is maintained? Why you breathe 12 times and the heart beats 72 times a minute? How the food you eat is digested chemically and the nutritive part transformed into body tissue, bone, muscle and fat, hair and nails, blood and skin, and properly distributed wastes and poisons are eliminated with no ill effects?
