Are You Dying of Thirst?



“I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,” declares the Lord. Jer. 30:17, NIV.
When you think of healing, probably the words “medicine,” “hospitals,” “physical therapy,” and “doctor bills” come to mind. But in many cases the cure might be as close as your kitchen faucet—and it’s basically free! Yes, I’m talking about water.
In 1905 Ellen White wrote: “In health and in sickness, pure water is one of Heaven’s choicest blessings. Its proper use promotes health. It is the beverage which God provided to quench the thirst of animals and man. Drunk freely, it helps to supply the necessities of the system, and assists nature to resist disease” (Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 419).
But the problem is, most of us aren’t drinking it, or at least not enough of it. In fact, your body can be chronically dehydrated and yet you don’t realize it because you don’t feel thirsty.
If you do not drink at least six to eight glasses of water a day, give or take a little depending on your height and weight, you are dehydrated!
Remaining dehydrated for long periods of time introduces many physical ailments that would disappear with an adequate water intake. Your body needs water to prevent your blood from becoming concentrated, which then draws water from the cells around it. When this happens, you feel thirsty, and too many people satisfy this craving by drinking coffee, tea, or soft drinks. But these do not count as water. What your body needs is six to eight glasses of water per day if its various organs are to work efficiently.
Here’s what Michael Peck said about the merits of drinking eight glasses of water a day: “When I first started this program I was overweight, with high blood pressure and suffering from asthma and allergies, which I have had since a small child. Today, I have my weight and blood pressure under control . . . and the program reduced the frequency of asthma and allergy-related problems to the point of practical nonexistence.”
God wants to restore our health to us. Drink freely of the “medicine” He has provided, and see if it doesn’t make a difference.
Don’t wait to feel thirsty to drink water for your physical health, and drink God’s Word for your spiritual health.

Raw Almond Nut Milk

Raw Food Recipes for Beginners
How to make raw almond nut milk recipe
I make raw almond milk a lot!  If you have not tried to make your own almond nut milk yet, this almond milk recipe will give you all the instruction you need.
Soak 2 cups of almonds overnight.
In your blender start with 4 cups of water and blend almonds in your Blendtec Blender.

Do not use soak water. Always rinse almonds well.

In a large bowl pour your nut milk into nut milk bag then also add 4 more cups of water. Keep squeezing your nut milk bag until you have squeezed your nut milk dry. Save your pulp from the almond milk. Either freeze or dehydrate. I use almond flour for many of my recipes. I make almond milk ice cream a lot.

You can use any kind of nut or seed and sweeten with dates, agave, pure maple syrup, honey, stevia. Play with it and do it how you like it.

 Okay here is what I use for a nut milk bag. It's cheap. A paint strainer. They work great!!

Raw Recipe Neapolitan Ice Cream Slabs


















Okay, this one doesn't really need a recipe. Blend banana's with nut milk for each flavor and layer and freeze one layer at a time. To save time I blended each layer up and put in separate containers and put them in the freezer for a few hours and then when it was very cold and starting to freeze I layered them and froze overnight. Very easy and not expensive.
A easy raw food recipe for raw banana ice cream.

Champion Juicer Wheatgrass Attachment Review

Extract the Max!
The attachment we have all been waiting for!
This attachment is effectively designed to juice wheat grass and greens and if you are familiar with the Champion you know this was never possible but with the new "Champion Juicer Attachment for Wheatgrass and Leafy Greens" you can and what a blessing. I love my Champion, it's a workhorse!! So if you already own the Champion Juicer this greens attachment is a great addition. This Wheatgrass Attachment attaches quickly and easily to the Champion juicer. The Wheatgrass Attachment is BPA free and made in the USA. 


Now you can use your Champion Juicer to "Extract the Max" amount of juice from wheatgrass and leafy greens. Great for all types of greens including kale, parsley, spinach, lettuce, beet greens, arugula, barley grass, wheatgrass, and more!

I could not wait to juice some kale, wheatgrass, mustard greens and swiss chard and it worked great. All my friends have Champions and will be thrilled to know that Champion came out with this Wheatgrass Attachment. 

It works with your Champion Juicer made from 1988 to present.  
Important Note: Overseas 220/240V Model Juicers or Juicers with "CM" in the serial number MUST order the overseas version. 

The Champion Leafy Greens Attachment comes with: - Housing - Auger - Screen Assembly - End Cap - Pulp Spout Cover - funnel - Pusher. (This Leafy Greens Attachment Does Not come with a juicer.)

What is Your Favorite Food for Potlucks?

Sprouting Buckwheat Groats

Sprouting buckwheat groats are very easy. I have them on hand stored in glass jars for cereal, dessert bars or cookies plus you can grind the groats that have been dried into a flour for many great recipes. The cereal you can add some buckwheat groats, dried fruit, nuts or seeds and top off with some raw almond milk and you have a quick and easy raw breakfast that is amazing.

Sprouted buckwheat is an amazing food because it tastes like a grain but it is gluten and wheat free and not a grain at all. It is one of the most complete sources of protein on the planet, containing all eight amino acids. Sprouted buckwheat also cleanse the colon and alkalizes the body. Sprouted buckwheat is also high in iron so it is a good blood builder.

Nutritional info:
Vitamins A, B, C and E
Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Selenium, Niacin, Phosphorus, Potassium
All Amino Acids
Protein: 15%

Sprouting Buckwheat Groats

Start by soaking over night.
After the sprouts have soaked overnight this next step with be the only hard part. RINSE, RINSE, RINSE!! The sprouts soaking water becomes thick and you need to rinse the sprouts until the water runs clear and isn't thick anymore. The sprouts won't sprout the best if you don't. I say this is the hard part, it isn't that hard it's just a very important step and the rest of the sprouting time is easy, easy!

Here are the buckwheat groats all rinsed with my spouting lids and ready to invert and just let them do their work. 
Here you can see the buckwheat groats are inverted in my sink. I do this right in my sink because it works great there. You might have a rack you can store them on inverted. What ever works best for you to get them inverted and draining. I rinse them 2-3 times a day. At this stage they sprout in a day. 
I dry my buckwheat groats in a 13 x 9 casserole dish. I stir them a few times especially in the beginning of the drying process. It at least takes 24 hours for mine in the dehydrator but I do huge batches to store so I don't have to do it so often. 
This close-up photo you can see the buckwheat groats tails on them. They even sprout a little more in the beginning of the drying process. 

Live RAW by Mimi Kirk Book Review

For the seasoned raw foodie yet an excellent source for the beginner raw foodie just learning to add more raw cuisine to their diet. I'm an artist and I love the colorful pages and beautiful photography. So many great recipes and variations to the recipes. It's really chuck full of inspiration!!
