Marinated Recipes

Marinated Baby Bok Choy




I have said it before, I love simple recipes. This is a wonderfully flavorful dish. The first time I had raw bok choy was in a recipe similar to this one. I fell in love with it. I make it regularly and it always turns out perfect. Here is the recipe:

Marinated Baby Bok Choy

1 head of baby bok choy, chop into bite-size pieces
1/4 C coconut aminos
1 t sesame seeds, soaked
drizzle of first cold pressed EVOO
2 cloves fresh garlic, pressed
onion powder to taste
sprinkle of Dulse
Mix everything together and let marinate 30 minutes or longer. Only keeps one day, otherwise it starts to get too mushy. Enjoy!


I also made some marinated mushrooms, but neglected to take a picture. But hey, they are mushrooms...not too exciting anyway. I never would have thought nut butter and tahini would be good in a mushroom marinade but these were fantastic!! Here is my recipe:

Mushroom Marinade
1 pkg of white mushrooms, sliced
2 T raw tahini
1 T Raw Almond butter
2 tsp raw honey
2 capfuls Coconut Aminos
3 capfuls Coconut Vinegar
pinch of cumin
pinch of coriander
1 clove garlic, pressed
squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Mix the above ingredients except for the mushrooms. Slowly whisk in EVOO till a smooth and creamy consistency is reached. Now toss with the mushrooms. Let marinate 4 hours. Enjoy!

~JMJ~ Today I am grateful for accomplishing my school work project!! I finally packed away last years homeschool portfolios for the three oldest and even organized the textbook shelves. I recycled two large garbage bags of papers. It feels so good to down size to just the important stuff. I still have a long way to go before our new school year starts, but I am so grateful for the work I have finished thus far. It was looming over my head and making me crazy. The craziness is gone and I am ready to get ordering the last of our new books for the Fall. Now it is getting exciting, no longer worrisome. Next I will write up my lesson plans, shop for supplies and we are good to go! I look forward to an organized, fun and productive school year. My goal is to feel more peace this year instead of stress; last year was tough with nursing the baby while teaching. Now that he is a bit more independent it should help a bit. My theme for the year is, KISS.... "Keep It Simple Sweetheart".

mmm! both recipes sound delish, though i've never tried coconut aminos or vinegar. i love coconut so i'm sure i'd like them both.

as a former first grade science teacher, i'd love to hear about your lesson plans. i know what you mean about the looming feeling - one of the reasons i left the education system!

yes, keep it simple! children and teachers both shut down when it gets too complicated. there's no need to create stressful moments in the school of life - there's plenty around to learn from!=)

Seed Yogurt

The other day I came across an article, by Thomas Stearns Lee, NMD, which contained recipes for seed cheese and seed yogurt. His recipes call for Rejuvelac and sunflower seeds, but as usual I improvised and used things I had on hand and created the same end result!  I decided to make the savory Seed Yogurt to be used as a base in my salad dressings or sauces. It was incredibly easy and delicious.  ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ Pumpkin Seed Yogurt By Elizabeth @rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (or raw sunflower seeds) 1/3 cup raw sesame seeds 8 ounces of filtered water 2 vegan probiotic capsules Pinch of Real Salt 1 tsp fresh lemon juice Soak the seeds for 6 hours.

Raw Vegan Spring Rolls

RAW VEGAN SPRING ROLLS By Elizabeth www.rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com Yesterday was another fun day of creating raw, vegan recipes. I was determined to make an alternative to rice paper wrappers when making spring rolls. The texture of this raw, red cabbage is amazing! I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. It is a simple two step recipe to tenderize the red cabbage all the while preserving the essential enzymes and nutrients that raw cabbage possesses. The many health benefits of raw cabbage motivates me to always try and eat it uncooked. But sometimes I prefer it soft vs crunchy, and here is the perfect way to enjoy it.  The first step was to cut out the tough core at the bottom of the cabbage. I then cut about a third of one side off so I could more easily separate the cabbage leaves. Next I placed 7 cabbage leaves in a square glass dish and filled it with water. I then placed this dish in the very bottom of my Excalibur dehydrator.  On the top rack I

Simplifying the Concept of Proper Food Combining

Watch Dr. Clement from Hippocrates Health Institute discuss food combining in a very simple way. His explanation is the one that really stuck, I get confused by the fancy food combing charts out there. He gives you the nuts and bolts of proper combining. Enjoy! Please note that I am terrible at food combining. I eat things together that shouldn't go together, because they taste good together, with the exception of melons; I only eat melons alone!!! I cannot have them with anything else or I double over in pain and bloat. I am a work in progress and some day I will practice proper food combining. If you'd prefer to red about food combing, just look at this info I found at http://www.raw-food-health.net/Raw-Food-Combining.html Raw Food Combining: Your Options Your options for raw food combining fall into 11 categories based not on culinary classifications, but on the actual composition of the food. If you're eating well, though, there are only really eight c
