Turmeric- Sprinkle it on!

I've been sick this week and today I remembered that Turmeric is good for colds.  I sprinkled it on my eggs this morning and also used it in my coffee (inside the brew basket, on top of the ground coffee). I did a little search and found out that it is used for a whole bunch of other illnesses as it is also an anti-inflamatory.  Read on and sprinkle that spice on everything you can think of  :-) According to WebMD:   "Turmeric is used for arthritis , heartburn (dyspepsia), stomach pain , diarrhea , intestinal gas, stomach bloating , loss of appetite, jaundice , liver problems and gallbladder disorders. It is also used for headaches , bronchitis , colds, lung infections, fibromyalgia , leprosy , fever, menstrual problems, and cancer . Other uses include depression , Alzheimer ’s disease, water retention, worms, and kidney problems. Some people apply turmeric to the skin for pain, ringworm , bruising, leech bites, eye infections, inflammatory skin co...

Spinach banana chia smoothie #Paleo #Whole30

Image
Spinach, banana, chia seeds, almond milk smoothie. I felt like having a green smoothie tonight and this was the result. I made it very thick and creamy and it hit the spot.  Used one Frozen cut up very ripe banana. I take the over ripe bananas, cut them up into individual sandwich baggies and freeze them. That way whenever I want a smoothie I just grab one Baggie = one banana. This time I used enough frozen cut leaf spinach to fill the nutribullet. If you do not like a strong spinach taste just use less. I'm used to the taste of veggies in my green smoothies so used a lot of the green stuff :-) The chia seeds went in next, a tablespoon's worth. Finally enough unsweetened almond milk to make the Bullet work. First I added about 1/2 cup but it wasn't enough. I had to stop it and add a bit more. The over ripe banana gave it the right amount of sweetness, since I'm on the #Whole30 I can't use any sweetener. You could use pitted dates for sweetness too, I just didn't...

Banana chia pudding experiment- #whole30 #paleo

Image
I usually just use frozen bananas to make banana ice cream by just putting them in their frozen state in the nutribullet with a bit of coconut milk.  Today I experimented with chia seeds. I had never used them before but heard that they gel up whatever liquid you put them in. I took a cup of coconut milk, 1/2 cup fresh (not frozen) overripe banana and added 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. Processed it to smooth consistency in the bullet and left it in the fridge to chill out for the rest of the day.  The result was banana pudding. I think next time I'll add blueberries and or strawberries.

Simple egg omelette - #whole30 #Paleo

Image
Hey there fellow #Whole30 and #Paleo peeps.  Breakfast was simple this morning. The hubs made me this egg and green pepper omelette, the green pepper is barely visible because he chopped it into very small pieces and most ended up along the center. I served it on a lettuce leaf and seasoned with salt and pepper.  Dotted it with mustard and chowed down!
