Recharge!

I have a confession to make. I have not been sleeping early lately and it has left me feeling tired and unalert. It's time to recharge! 

Ingredients:

1 mango

1 banana or 1/2-1 cup papaya

1/2 cucumber

1/4 pineapple 

1 cup water or buko juice

Preparation:

Place all ingredients in your Vitamix and blend until smooth.

For other blenders, make sure you exclude the core of the pineapple and also chop the ingredients, especially the cucumber and pineapple into smaller pieces before blending. You might also want to add the ingredients in two by two. 

Have you tried this recipe for yourself?

I sent you two big boats, you dummy!

I have three friends who now have cancer. I met someone who taught me a solution to it—and it applies even to those who have autoimmune diseases.

However, when I offer this option to others, I find that they don’t want to go the route of eating with discipline, avoiding high temperatures in preparing mostly plant based food, and sleeping early, exercising daily, drinking water, taking digestive enzymes, and other detoxification methods.  They would rather have prayers and God’s miraculous hand rescuing them from out of it. 

Does it remind you of the scene in The Pursuit of Happyness where the little boy told his father this joke? 

:( :(  :( 

I love you my friends. I wish you would jump in the boat, but I can’t make your legs do what you yourself don’t want to do.

To readers who aren't ill: Would you like to know if you would be susceptible to cancer? Or maybe some other disease?

There's a DNA test that allows you to find out. Easy peasy. Let me know if you want to try it.

How do you respond to "Yan lang ba ang kakainin mo?"

Christmas is a day to celebrate Jesus' birth (even though it probably wasn't on December 25th exactly, but who cares, right?) and it's a great time to reconnect with loved ones, relatives, and friends.

It's also a time when tactless party guests comment one of the following:

- Ang taba mo!

- Bakit hindi ka pa nag-aasawa?

- or if the askee is married, Bakit wala pa kayong anak?

Or in my case...(since I eat a special way) o, yan lang ba ang kakainin mo?

How have you guys responded to questions like these?

In my case, when we had Christmas eve lunch earlier, someone asked me question number four, and I answered, I smiled and said, "Hindi ko 'to ni-la-lang-lang" because I truly am grateful my allergens and food sensitivities were revealed to me, and because of that, I can avoid emergency visits to the hospital where I lose consciousness and need to get my stomach pumped. And with that, she stopped.

When the party was over, she went home, but she sent back with the driver a pasalubong for me - a papaya! I was so appreciative of that!

She didn't have to do that, but I am glad that she didn't press the issue anymore. Have you come up with a good response to relatives who greet you with Tumaba ka! ? Or Bakit hindi ka pa nag-aasawa? or Bakit wala pa kayong anak? Or do you have a response to why you eat the healthy way you do?

Would love to know!

Raw Food for Loved Ones

What are your favorite comfort foods?

Ginisang munggo is one of mine.

In this recipe, which is inspired by Astig Vegan's recipe, I've modified ingredients to address food intolerances and took into account local available produce.


Ingredients:

1/4 of a huge kalabasa, chopped
4-5 cloves of native garlic, minced
1 red onion, diced
2 cups munggo (soaked in water overnight, then rinsed and boiled for approximately 30 minutes or until soft)
4 cups native red tomatoes
1/4 cup plus one to two tablespoons coconut aminos
3/4 cup fresh shiitake mushrooms (soaked in mineral water)
2 T coconut oil
1 bunch of malunggay, leaves plucked off and rinsed in water containing a bit of cider vinegar
sea salt to taste


1. Slice the shiitake mushrooms, including the stems. Make sure to save the soaking water, and separate the stems.
2. Heat the pan and place minced garlic in it with just a bit of water. Do not use high heat.
3. When the garlic releases its fragrance, add the coconut oil.
4. Add the onions and cook till softened.
5. Add the tomatoes.
6. Add the kalabasa and the mushroom stems and a few pinches of sea salt, and cover in the pan. Increase to medium heat. Cook 'til softened.
7. Add the munggo, oaking water and the coconut aminos. Adjust salt to taste.
8. When the water boils again, add the malunggay, stir, and serve with additional coconut aminos.
