Raw Garlic Naan

Aggghh Garlic bread........

Ok so how good is a yummy buttery steamy bread with loads of garlicy goodness!!!

I love garlic bread however not a huge fan of the ingredients that are in most shop bought garlic breads... preservatives, emulsifiers etc... And my little gals don't really have much bread these days... they love wraps... future garlic wraps maybe :) 

Thank you to the incredibly inspirational RAW foodies Marcus and Cara (if you don't know who they are you have to check out there amazing you tubes and Marcus's empowering life changing books www.markusrothkranz.com) Type into google garlic naan recipe to find a You Tube by Cara.... from their new raw recipe book 'Love on a plate'.  Of course I have added YL oils to the recipe to add some more zing.........

Introducing the new re vamped... Raw, Vegan, Gluten free and wheat free version.

If you are keen to crack open a fresh coconut or two then you will enjoy creating this nourishing raw vegan version of the much loved italian classic!

☆Raw Garlic Thyme Naan:

2 cups coconut meat

3/4 cup onion

2 or 3 tablespoons of spring water

1 drop YL thyme oil 

Sea salt

Pepper 

For Top:

Fresh Parsley 

Fresh chopped garlic 2 bulbs and small amount of onion

Blitz all ingredients in blender

Put baking paper over dehydrator tray
Sprinkle with olive or almond oil
Spread out blitzed mixture
Sprinkle and top coconut mixture with parsley garlic and onion
Add some more olive/almond oil (you can add the thyme oil into these oils if you with) and salt/pepper to taste Place in dehydrator for about 2-4 hours..... 
Flip and dehydrate for another 2 or 3 hours...

Why us a dehydrator?
Because any baking that you do in the oven over 45 degrees C kills the living enzymes present in whole foods.

YOU will be so super surprised how light fluffy and tasty this handy savoury treat is... Great with dips and crackers, with a curry or rolled with any filling!!!
RAW Coconut garlic Naan is now one of my fav snacks to nibble on.
(beware if you leave it in the dehydrator to longer... it will turn into a garlic cracker!!)

Are you going to try this amazing vegan version?
Tell me what you think? 
If you would like to get your hands on some delicious edible earth oils.. to use in your kitchen creations like basil, coriander, lime, tangerine, lemon and nutmeg!

Vibrant Families

Essential oils for Vibrant Families

Last month, for the first time in years I read my local newspaper "Caboolture News" and as I read a certain article I could feel my heart skip a beat for this beautiful young couple with a gorgeous little girl who had consistent tonsillitis.... occurring every three weeks. My heart goes out to families who experience continuous health concerns with no real answers or results...
My thoughts and eagerness to help this couple in some way were persistent and strong... as the whirlwind of ideas and 'what ifs' spiralled around in my mind. Hmmm I wonder what else they have tried..... and I wonder if they have heard of therapeutic grade YL essential oils.

So this blog about re occurring dis-ease and tonsillitis is for you.... the couple on the front cover from Narangba waiting for surgery or a better solution for their precious creation.

I am a firm believer that if conventional medicine isn't working, if you are experiencing the same outcome over and over again then why not try something else? A different solution perhaps? One that has no side effects or full effects on the rest of our body.
Being a mother of two daughters myself I feel for families like these parents in the paper who have to give their little one antibiotics every three weeks.... with the same results..... a continuous re occurrence.

It is so super important to feed, nourish and protect our precious immune system...  especially with the cooler weather when we often eat for comfort and warmth.
Along with nutrition, active living and being around positive influences it's great that we now have extra earth tools to use first hand at home as a preventative and protector for our mind, body and spirit.

The plant kingdom continues to be the subject of an enormous amount of research and discovery....  well it is really a rediscovery. Everyday thousands of people are feeling self empowered and experience amazing results with mother natures gifts to us.

Essential oils have been around for donkeys years right... The Ancient Egyptians were masters when using essential oils and other aromatic compounds. Many hieroglyphics on the walls of Egyptian temples depict the blending of oils and describe hundreds of oil recipes.

It is only recently that essential oils have made a massive comeback with a huge impact on families and lives all over the world. What a beautiful blessing. Essential oils are HUGE right now... DIY, clean eating, chemical free living, becoming more self sufficient and kinder to our precious planet. Most of us know the extraordinary health benefits.... we just need to find the highest quality oils on the planet to help with this world wide wellness revOILution that is taking place.

Young Living essential oils are extraordinary - they are the real deal and they are the world's purest oils. Quality is the most important thing especially when you are using oils on your family, their skin, internal organs, in their food, for first aid and health care. I have been living the YL lifestyle for over 6 years now and I am thrilled to say that I haven't been to a doctor since I gave birth to my second daughter almost 5 years ago.... I truly believe in the power of prevention. Which includes illiminating unnecessary chemicals in homes, body products and following a whole food, active and kind lifestyle... The YL Lifestyle works perfectly.

So we have the best of the best oils..... now its time to read, educate, empower ourselves and others...

One of the best resources out there for essential oil amazingness is called the Essential Oil Desk Reference.
This is the 'bible' of essential oils and if you are serious about natural health, changing and transforming your life, your families and friends then get your hot little hands on a copy... available at www.aromabooks.com or www.let-support.com.au it comes in the full version at $98, mini version $37.95.

So what do we know about tonsillitis?

The tonsils are infection-fighting lymphatic tissues (immune cells) that surround the throat. When these become infected with streptococcal bacteria they become inflamed, causing a condition known as tonsillitis.

It became popular in the 1960's and 1970's to have the tonsils removed when they became infected. However, tonsillectomies have become much less frequent as researchers have discovered the important role that tonsils play in preventing and fighting infectious diseases and optimising immune response.

The pharyngeal tonsils located at the back of the throat (known as the adenoids) can also come infected - a condition known as adenines.

First recommendations from the Essential Oils Desk Reference:
Clove, tea tree, Thieves blend, inner defence supplements
Single oils to try: Golden Rod, oregano, ravensara, thyme
YL Blends: Melrose, ImmuPower
Topical Treatment: Thieves Antiseptic Spray

EO application Method:
Ingestions with Rice milk or tea spoon of honey. 2-4 times daily.
Oral; on tongue 2-6 times daily or as often as needed
Gargle 4-8 times daily.
Topical: Dilute 50:50 apply 1 to 3 drops to throat, chest and back of neck through out day.
Apply oils to feet (Vitaflex Points) through out the day.

Nutritional support; NingXia Red, high in B and C vitamins.

Young Living provides us with a variety of solutions, we just have to try different oils or supplements to see what best suits us!

Here is a delicious recipe to try:
Warm Lemon, Honey and Thieves drink that is great for the whole - food family :)

1-2 tsp of raw honey
Mix with very warm water (not boiling) and add a drop of Thieves essential oil.
(use a tooth pick, dip in top of oil bottle and swirl into lemon drink for kidlets)
Add apple cider vinegar and lemon oil to taste



Hope you are all keeping warm and rugged up... and found some inspiration within these words.

Proven Strategies for Top Women’s Health Concern 

"Progesterone is involved in regulating a myriad of body functions, such as raising body temperature during ovulation, normalising inflammation, acting as a muscle relaxer, modulating the immune system, influencing libido, helping convert stored fat into energy and preventing endometrial cancer.”

How amazing does that sound…

I mean why wouldn’t you try it…..

Young Living has an incredible plant based creation called Progessence Phyto Plus the YL blend essence…

Made with wild yam………….

“Progessence plus serum is a biologically-identical naturally occurring progesterone derived from wild yams intended for topical or cosmetic use.

Its innovative delivery system is formulated for maximum performance and absorption. USP-Grade super - micronised is dissolved with vitamin E and essential oils for optimal absorption and maximum effectiveness. Studies indicate that limonene from frankincense and bergamot, and mental from peppermint oil enhance substance penetration through the skin. Unlike other hormone therapies, Progessence Plus does not require the cycling of application sites and you are not stuck with a weird taste. It comes in a convenient , easy-to-use, clear bottle at an affordable price.”

Ummmmm and its totally pant based!!!

Check your progesterone levels _ __if you need to increase levels……..

Use Progessence Plus YL blend to rest and relax your tired muscles!

Use for maximum performance and effectiveness

This essence has helped me in so many different ways from being uplifting, energising and more centred.

If you are pregnant good news, you would not need extra progesterone........

"80% of woman experience some form of mood disturbance following pregnancy"…… Yep, I most certainly did……

I found YL JOY Blend very beneficial with Lemon oil, Frankincense oil and Peace & Calming….Which are all in the everyday oils collection :) ….

New Year - New You - New Job Maybe?!?

Imagine a job where you could pick your own hours…

This is Young Living….. yes their primary focus is WELLNESS.

The ultimate Plant health company specialising in pure authentic exotic essential oils.

What else do they offer, what are the incentives and what can you achieve. 

I believe deep down we all want to be our own boss.

Well, tonight as I was having a wine with my neighbour she posed the question “when do you have to be back at work”

I looked up into the corner of my garage and thought for a few seconds…. back to work, work, work… hmmm I don’t really work i thought to myself.

Then it came to me, Young is truly the most amazing lifestyle… and Job!?

I think its a crime not to share and enjoy the opportunities with ones that you love.

So this is my story. I don’t have to go back to ‘work’ 

I choose to work, meet up with and focus on what I believe is important in life… 

One of the number one things of course… 

The things that I LOVE - family.

I can choose to be there at school functions that was one of my biggest breakthroughs…. 

Being flexible when your kids start going to school is awesome… I loved seeing Zola perform in her prep performances… it was gorgeous.

So back to my Blog Post:

NEW YEAR  =  NEW YOU… Yeah yeah yah

This time you mean it?!?

We all want to be our own boss.

Create our own economy

Increase our personal cash flow

And even maybe;

Care for the environment 

Create a conscious community

Give back to a charity

Travel and learn from the world

You can create your own ultimate life

My tips on creating a Committed Joyous YL TEAM: (what people are looking for)

ORIGINS

This Year has been such an evolutionary year!

It has been a year of getting back to our original selves, asking questions and embracing all that comes to us in life. Embracing abundance.

On the weekend I watch a wonderful documentary with my man.

Getting back to our origins….

I loved this new inspiring documentary…. 

http://origins.well.org

Please watch and share. :) 

I believe Young Living is this Movie!!!

ORIGINS

Origins, primal, paleo, RAW, earth, life, love, respect, gratitude and kindness.

Young living live from their origins, they own their own 11 farms around the world, their new one is called the Northern Lights Farm in Canada…. another amazing farm experience for the future to write down on my bucket list.... What does your list look like... Mine?

Egypt, Maldives, Amazon and Alaska just to name a few. 

Today I am caring for my dementia dad. I say that because most of the time he is awesome and he is his fun loving self, yet his worried, fearful personality often over powers his thoughts and perception… sometimes he slips into this alternate universe…

Dust in the air, all over his hands, cats in the house, black men laying on his and my mums bed and a group of women looking after him 'which is my incredible life juggling mum'

I was just talking to him at the table while we laughed about the funny conversations on Anchorman 2… now he is asleep at the table… at 11am..

LOVE XXX

Anyway, origins, the movie, watch it, create conscious change…

Getting back to our origins is what I have been living for over 5 years now.

What are the ORIGINS of Aromatherapy?  

Right now I am enjoying my mums abundantly healthy backyard… 

It is a true Aroma-Garden. Citronella flowers are blooming right now.

It’s raining, it’s cleansing. The air feels fresh and creative..… 

Here’s a quote from one of my fav books written by Jennifer Jefferies - CALM KIDS, a guide to natural therapies for children.

“Aromatherapy is the science of using essential oils for therapeutic, mood enhancing and cosmetic benefits - basically it’s old-time pharmacy.

Since the beginnings of human civilisation, healers have looked to nature to provide remedies. For centuries essential oils have filled dispensaries and provided pharmacists with the raw materials to make medicines. It was not that very long ago that you would take your prescription along to the local pharmacist and he or she would make up your cough mixture or cream from scratch using essential oils and herbs. Today, most of these natural medicines have been replaced with synthetic laboratory produced drugs. But we are seeing a resurgence in the popularity of natural therapies, and aromatherapy in particular.”

Wow how awesome is that…

Caramel Slice Re Vamped

Caramel Slice Re-Vamped 

Who doesn’t love a delicious slab of gooey caramel slice??

Yes, back in my 'unconscious’ living days I was one of those teenagers who use to come home from high school, delve deep into the fridge to grab out a can of condensed milk and sit there with a tea spoon…. Yes I did…. 

I couldn’t get enough of this sweet nectar….

Ok, so it's been years since I have done that. Now with a new change of perception and awareness, these days I get my sweet craving fix from whole foods… whilst nourishing my body, not depleting it. Pure guilt free goodness (and yes you can over indulge on the good stuff too).

I recently helped facilitate a conscious living workshop with three beautiful souls. One of the creations was a RAW caramel slice… so this blog is dedicated to them.. Thanks for the inspiration Kerry, Michael and Amanda and for being part of this conscious global wellness revolution - creating change and better solutions for all. 

**RAW CARAMEL SLICE**

3 Layers of LOVE:

Base: 

1/2 cup of dates (pitted and soaked if not medjool)

1 1/2 cups of almonds or cashews soaked (or any of your fav nuts)

2 drops of Valor essential oil (optional, can use any YL oil you like! Or vanilla extract)

Gooey sauce:

1 cup dates (pitted) and soaked if not medjool dates

1/2 cup maple syrup 

1/2 cup tahini

1/2 cup coconut oil

dash of vanilla extract

1 cup of raw cashews, soaked

Pinch of sea salt

Choc top:

1/2 cup coconut oil

4 tbs of cacao powder

4 tbs of maple syrup/honey/coconut nectar 

Start with the base. Blend the dates and nuts together in a food processor until it’s at a fine consistency. Add the oil or vanilla extract and blend once more. Grease a slice tin with coconut oil and spread the base layer out on the bottom. Freeze for about an hour.

For the gorgeous gooey sauce; blend all of the ingredients together until it’s nice and creamy. Pour over frozen base… place back in freezer for about 30 mins

Onto the last layer of LOVE chocolate :)

Melt the coconut oil (if not already) mix in cacao powder and sweetener of choice. Whisk until it's at a nice velvety creamy texture and pour over the two layers. Place back in the freezer for an hour and indulge... 

Enjoy this little piece of heaven...

Pure guilt free goodness straight from Mother Nature :)

The addition of Young Living essential oils takes your food creations to a whole new vibration level..... I chose the blend valor today just to add a new level of flavour and energy to the slice :)
