Fruit Salad
..thought you knew what a fruit was? think again. Google for yourself to find out the botanic classifications of your favourite plate of dinner veggies; and then! wait til you find out that there is not actually any such classification as vegetable - but rather that vegetable is simply a culinary term.. ha!
So with thus introduction, ere below is a refreshing savoury fruit salad for you: again increasing the medicinal qaulities twofold by eating leafy greens with fruits.

2 stems Kale (trimmed from spine)
2 ripe Truss Tomatoes
2 punnets Medley of Mini Tomatoes
2 Cucumbers
1 yellow Capsicum
1 orange Capsicum
1 red Capsicum
2 lge Dill Gherkins
7 lge Green Olives
2 handfuls Baby Spinach

👏 bowl: combine salad ingredients, in following order
add: chopped kale & truss tomatoes; lightly dust with herbamare
add: chopped mini tomatoes & cucumbers; lightly dust with herbamare
add: chopped capsicums; lightly dust with herbamare
add: sliced gherkins & olives
add: washed baby spinach; lightly dust with herbamare
combine: all ingredients well

* sit for 30mins before eating; to allow the fruit's juices to make the kale tender

Ginger Snapped!

11/3/2019

0 Comments

I finally snapped ..GINGER SNAPPED! with not being able to get a ginger cookie that's not loaded with sugar, "wheat", dairy ..and all the other nasty 'food-like' ingredients they put in.
I would think I had found one, order it online ..but then the retailer would contact me to say they don't have it, and aren't getting it; that they just haven't updated their website.
So with this happening to me for the last time, just days ago mind you, in the words of my kitty..

I madez diz! 😁 👐 💫 🍪

1 cup Erythritol*
¾ cup EV Coconut Oil (melted)
¼ cup Maple Syrup
3 tsp Ginger ground
¾ tsp Cinnamon ground
½ tsp Cloves ground
¼ tsp Himalayan Salt
1 lge Egg
2 cup Kamut flour

👏 bowl: all ingredients, except egg & flour; combine well
add: egg; combine well
add: flour; combine well

♨️ oven: preheat 180°c
baking tray: mixture rolled into 3cm balls on baking paper; lightly pressed to flatten cookies slightly
bake: 12mins

*to me this is alot of sweetener. BUT! I like a nice strong ginger flavour. So I found this amount of sweetener is a nice balance with the strength of the ginger. So if you do alter the amount, just keep in mind, the ginger may end up being overpowering ..jus'sayin!

Vawaiian Salad

11/8/2018

0 Comments

It cannot be stated enough that: every meal should have, begin and end - with Vawaiian!

Growing up, us kids absolutely loved a particular dish that our Mum would make; but because of it's ingredients, it was a rare treat ..and one that suited our kiddy sweet toothes a little too much, if you understand me. Now that I don't do naughty anymore, I determined that this dish shan't depart from my menu. So to cease the blah blah blahs, I introduce to you my [drum roll]

dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, gelatin-free, fully vegan ... Vawaiian Salad!

So healthy compared to the naughty recipe
..that I've taken to having it for breakfast hehe
Yummmaaayyy!!!

500g Nudie Vanilla Coconut Yoghurt*
4 tsp Erythritol**
2 tsp Vanilla Extract**
(I use a Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder to add an extra health kick)
2 tsp Strawberry Powder**
1 tub Shredded Coconut*
440g tin Pineapple Pieces in Juice (NOT syrup)

1 tub Strawberries* (quatered)
1/2 tub Green Grapes* (halved)
1/2 tub Crimson Grapes* (halved)

👏 bowl: coconut yoghurt, erythritol; combine well°
add: vanilla, strawberry powder; combine well°
add: shredded coconut; using yoghurt tub to measure amount
add: pineapple pieces, including juice; combine well
refrigerate: covered, overnight

👏 next day, add: cut fruit; using yoghurt tub to measure amount
refrigerate: few hrs before serving; to allow flavours to infuse

Serves: 1 - cause you won't want to share 😋 hehe

I jest! I jest! 😄 ..but no seriously 😏

* the yoghurt tub is used to measure the coconut & fruit amounts

** these ingredients substitute the key ingredient in the naughty recipe; and successfully so, as the dish made using this recipe tastes identical to the dish made using the naughty recipe; so they're not really omittable. That said, you can omit/substitute if you like - the same flavour just can't be guaranteed 😇 that's all

° make sure to do these steps separately [emphasized]

Scrummy Curry Pesto

11/7/2018

0 Comments

This pesto, I just happened upon one day when I was making myself a big batch of Curry Tea. I didn't want to simply throw away the curry leaves I had just steeped for my tea ..so I decided to make a pesto with them.

It has been a hit with the dishes I have coupled the pesto with for a combined lunch the next day. PHAB Walnut Loaf and this pesto go scrumptiously together; mixed through some Egyptian Spinach Noodles with EVO & Veggie Salt is delish too!

4 cups Dried Curry leaves (steeped)
1 Red Onion (chopped)
2 cloves Garlic (crushed)
1/3 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes
1 tsp Chinese Five Spice
1/3 cup Coconut (desiccated)
1/2 Lemon (juice)
1 tsp Veggie salt

♨ Pot: bring 2L water to boil
remove from heat, add: curry leaves; leaves submerged
steep (off hot plate): 2hrs, covered
strain: leaves (keep steeped leaf water for Curry Tea)

🍥 Blend: all listed ingredients & 2/3 cups leaf water
add more leaf water, to desired consistency

Testimony ~ chef lani sret

To affect change, by the grace of God, believe and claim the promises in His Word.

🍞 KJV Psalms 103:1-5
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

🍞 KJV 1 John 5:14,15
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

🍞 KJV Psalms 37:3-5
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

🍞 KJV Mark 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

🍞 2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

On February 11th 2018, I bowed in repentance and with a contrite heart before my God.
Uplifting my tearful plead for forgiveness and intense petition to be a vessel meet for His purpose, I prayed with thankfulness for opening my eyes to the truth.

I was unaware of the path God had now set my feet upon 👣 Praise the Lord!
Not only, as the verse says, “old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”, but He has given me new desires of my heart. [Ps 37:4]
From one who before had absolutely no interest in time invested in cooking, from one who was bound by seemingly unconquerable attachments to particular foods, from one who though knowing the truth would indulge my lower passions and give in to appetite rather than exercise strength of will and control by exercising higher powers. From this such one.. comes this blog 💞 glory to God!

Through this blog I hope to share the journey that God takes me on in exploring the ‘science above all other sciences’ - cooking! [MM270.6]
As He leads me into new heights of health exploration, I pray you can join in to partake of the blessings also.
And it is my prayer that He leads you in the most monumental blessings that make up the testimony of your own experience 🙏

🍞 KJV Mark 11:22,23
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

📚 It is for our own benefit to keep every gift of God fresh in our memory. Thus faith is strengthened to claim and to receive more and more. There is greater encouragement for us in the least blessing we ourselves receive from God than in all the accounts we can read of the faith and experience of others. The soul that responds to the grace of God shall be like a watered garden. His health shall spring forth speedily; his light shall rise in obscurity, and the glory of the Lord shall be seen upon him. Let us then remember the loving-kindness of the Lord, and the multitude of His tender mercies. Like the people of Israel, let us set up our stones of witness, and inscribe upon them the precious story of what God has wrought for us. And as we review His dealings with us in our pilgrimage, let us, out of hearts melted with gratitude, declare, “What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all His people.” Psalm 116:12-14. DA 348.2
