This is the best recipe book I have yet to lay my hands on! I got it at the Above Rubies retreat I went to in May. It is not only a recipe book, but it is an informational book, and each time I pick it up, I am inspired to whip up something healthful in the kitchen.
Since I have now been eating and cooking differently for a year now, this book lines up with what I am trying to do. It gives simple and easy ideas for creating meals for yourself and your family from nutricious foods like organic produce, nuts, seeds, and healthy oils. The reason I like it so much is because these are recipes I have never seen before, and they are things I would have never thought of myself.
For optimum health, it is recommended that we eat 85% "alive" raw foods, and 15% cooked healthy foods. I am no where near this yet, but I think it is an important goal to work towards. It is really about taking the natural foods God has provided for us, and that most people don't get enough of, and finding ways of preparing it and eating it as a way of life. This book has helped me so much with that, and I feel like I finally know a little bit about what I am doing in the kitchen, and I feel so good about what I am feeding my family. These recipes are yummy, and life giving!
Tonight I started reading all the different ways of preparing salads and dressings. My mouth was watering so much, that I got up, went into the kitchen and put together a salad of organic greens, chopped tomatoes from my garden, green onion, avocado, and one of the tricks from the book, ground walnuts that I ground up in my coffee grinder, to sprinkle on top. I then blended equal parts olive oil, apple cider vinegar, with garlic cloves for a healthy dressing.
I will share more, as I try more of the recipes from this book in the future. If this sounds like something you are interested in, you can find more information at www.aboverubies.org.
Here's to your health! |
