That's a Wrap!

10/29/2013 2 Comments

My husband Gerald Clark had a phenomenal show on Coast to Coast AM Radio Saturday discussing topics within his best-selling book "The Anunnaki of Nibiru: Mankind's Forgotten Creators, Enslavers, Destroyers, Saviors and Hidden Architects of the New World Order" and we've been buzzing around ever since! The feedback is sensational, if you haven't listened yet tune in!

In the midst of the flurry of fun activities that followed his successful show I made a trip to one my favorite stores Trader Joe's and picked up some delicious vegetables, fruit, nuts and few other items and was on my way. I opted to make something raw, quick, easy, delicious and nutritious for lunch.

I took a brown rice tortilla, spread spicy hummus on the bottom, added organic mixed greens, red onion, green bell pepper, a jalapeño, a pearl tomato, avocado, handful of chopped red cabbage and topped with Sriracha sauce and crushed sweet potato chips for an added crunch! We added a little dressing and dug in, it was finger licking good and left our bodies feeling incredible!!! We love the way raw veggies make us feel! Don't you?

Ingredients:

2 Brown Rice Tortillas
1/2 cup spicy hummus
2 Handfuls Mixed Greens
1 Pearl Tomato
1 Avocado
1/4 cup red onion - chopped
1/4 cup red cabbage - chopped
1/4 cup green bell pepper - chopped
1 jalapeño - diced
Opt: Sriracha sauce and a few sweet potato chips crunched on top (not pictured)

Directions - it's as easy as 1, 2, 3...!

Place the tortilla on a plate.
Spread hummus
Top with veggies, dressing, wrap and enjoy!!!

May blessings of light, love and good health abound and surround us all!

Happy Friday!!! I hope this recipe finds you in good health, happy and well. We are in high spirits today! Gerald was called back at popular demand to be on C2C AM Radio this Saturday 10/26/2013 at 10 pm PST!!! He last appeared live on C2C August 21, 2013 and has since become a Best Selling Author on Amazon.com for his book "The Anunnaki of Nibiru: Mankind's Forgotten Creators, Enslavers, Destroyers, Saviors, and Hidden Architects of the New World Order!" Show your support for my sweet husband and tune in tomorrow to C2C AM Radio at 10 pm PST!!

Maybe you will tune in over a Berry Beet Worthy Smoothie? :) Beets have had my # lately and I'm loving the benefits. I've been placing 1/2 a beet in our shake in the morning and can seriously feel the difference. Add some dark leafy greens and your body will be thanking you.

Why include a beet? They are high in vitamins and minerals, Potassium, magnesium, fiber, phosphorus, iron; vitamins A, B & C; beta-carotene, beta-cyanine; folic acid are a few...! Beets cleanse the body by purifying the blood. Beets can help your mental health with depression as well as well-being. Not only that but it can help lower your blood pressure. Beets are a high source of energy and can be used as a stomach acid tester. How can it test the stomach acid? If you are eating a lot of beets and your pee turns pink, you have low stomach acid. If your pee is still clear? Increase and get juicing!! Hope that wasn't TMI but I thought it was quite neat! Feel free to learn more by clicking here.

1/4 cup almonds
2 cups h2o
1 1/2 c frozen berries (strawberries or mixed are both fab!)
6 amaranth leaves (or dark leafy green)
2 bananas
6 Turkish apricots
2 scoops chocolate hemp protein powder
1/2 small beet

Directions:

Put ingredients in high-speed blender
Blend until smooth
Pour in a glass and feel the health benefits!

Best wishes for a happy and healthy day & weekend!

The other night we shared a Vegan Omelet! Say what? Yes that's right, a vegan omelet! Transitioning to vegan lifestyle can be difficult, especially giving up eggs and cheese but the truth is there are plenty of alternatives! From flax meal, chia meal, bananas, potato starch and so much more!

Rocky Shepheard recently shared a sample of the Vegg Vegan Egg Yolk with me and it is amazing! I can now make my husband a vegan omelet and more!! I modified the Vegg Omelet recipe by: Mimi Clark from "the VEGG cookbook: Egg-Free Cooking Uncaged" and it was delicious and left our bodies feeling recharged and pumped up!

The Vegg has an egg like flavor, its plant-based, gluten-free, soy free, fat-free, cholesterol free, High in Vitamin B12 and A, all natural, and GMO free! Check out there website: the Vegg or there Facebook site for amazing recipes and updates!

Ingredients:

1 tbsp Vegg Powder
1/2 cup non-dairy milk
1 pckg firm tofu, drained
1 tsp. vegetable oil
2 tsp vegan "butter" spread or oil

Filling: Onion, garlic, bell pepper, zucchini, vegan "mozzarella cheese" and spinach or your favorites such as salsa, mushrooms, asparagus etc!

Directions:

Combine Vegg powder and non-dairy milk in blender and process for 1 min until smooth.
Add drained tofu and oil and process for 1 minute until smooth.
Heat a skillet on medium heat, add the vegan "butter" spread or oil and heat until melted.
Pour batter into skillet and work quickly to spread the batter over the entire pan using a spatula to help. Cook on med heat for 10-15 minutes until the edges set and brown.
Scatter your favorite fillings over one half of the omelet. Carefully slide the spatula under perimeter and fold the unfilled side over the filled side.
Cover the skillet with a large dinner plate turned upside down. With one hand on the top of the plate and the other on the skillet handle, quickly flip the omelet onto the plate.
If too soft, bake in the oven at 350 for 10 + minutes. (Recommended!)
