Oat and Quinoa Crackers
When oat and quinoa tortillas fail to make a nice flexible wrap, they can always be used for crackers. These slightly salty, and crunchy wafers are delicious alongside some hummus. You may enjoy the added fiber and protein these lightweight snacks pack, too!
Benefits of Oat and Quinoa Crackers
The oats provided beta-glucan which helps balance cholesterol levels and lower heart disease risks. Oats also contain three phenolic acids (ferulic, caffic acid, sinapic acid) that provide free radical scavenging ability. (1) These crackers also have all the bran and germ of the oat seed present for maximum effectiveness.
The combination of phenolic compounds in these two seeds also provide good food for the gut microbiome. Sterols and phytic acid prevent metal-mediated free radicals, while saponins help fight colon cancer. How cool is that?
God knew the excessive amount of exposure you and I would be exposed to at this time in history and prepared every single item in the garden for our defense. All we have to do is enjoy the many ways to eat them.
Devotion
He is always preparing us physically and spiritually for the things we will face, we just don’t realize it at the time. For instance, it took years of animosity, favoritism, slavery, and prison to refine Joseph for the task of saving a nation. His ability to interpret dreams were scorned by his family and forgotten by a baker.
However, when the timing was right, God appointed him to interpret Pharoah’s dreams of seven plump and attractive cows being swallowed by seven thin, ugly cows. In addition to cows the full and good grain is swallowed by thin grain. The dream shows seven good years of bountiful food and seven years of famine to follow.
The seven years of plenty that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end, and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
After thirteen long years of captivity, maturing, and trusting God, Joseph becomes second only to Pharaoh over Egypt. Preparing him for this monumental task took time as shepherd in the fields with his father and brothers. It took mastery of managing Potiphar’s household, overcoming temptation, and directing the affairs of a prison.
Maybe you and I can relate. When looking back at rough days we overcame; we can see how God used it to refine us for our current positions too. I am grateful for scriptures that help me understand Him better. I’m also grateful for His provision of nutritious oats and grains.

Turkey & Chicken Goetta
My late stepmother, Doris, loved to eat Goetta. The sausage oat mixture was a frequent breakfast item for her. So, the other day when I was failing miserably at making tasty nitrate-free turkey sausage patties for my hubby, I decided to look up a recipe for Goetta.
Following a food.com recipe, I did the following:
Place 1/2 cup of oat groats in a saucepan of 1 1/2 cups of water, 3 bay leaves, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
Boil for one hour on low until they are tender.
The water almost boils off the groats, and there is a little left over.
I substituted 1 pound of ground turkey for pork and pureed 1 cup of leftover chicken for added filling.
The meat is added to the oats and stirred a bit, browning slightly. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, another 1/2 teaspoon of pepper and salt.
Oil a 9×13 baking dish with olive oil and place the meat mixture in the pan. Brush on another tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake for 1 hour. Then cut into squares.
It was delicious! I felt like Doris was with me the whole time cheering me on!
Devotion
She is at home with the Lord and gathered with her people. It reminds me of Abraham breathing his last in Genesis and being gathered to his people.
God establishes a covenant with Abram for the generations to come. Abram, (childless at 85) couldn’t comprehend what God was saying, yet when God puts him in a deep sleep and shows him the slaves in Egypt 400 years and their coming out of the land with great possessions, he understands.
This text is written to the many children (descendants) of Abraham to show them God’s faithfulness.
I appreciate the nugget of information about Abraham’s life after death. God says, “…as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace. I’ve looked back through the chapters of Genesis and believe this is the first mention of life after death.
As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.
Gen 35:29 And Isaac breathed his last, and he died and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
When Jacob finished commanding his sons, he drew up his feet into the bed and breathed his last and was gathered to his people.
The text teaches me God has a plan for my soul and your soul, long after we depart from this world. The idea of being gathered to my people not only gives me hope to be with God forever, but also a cherished loved one I miss dearly.
I look forward to seeing her again in heaven some day!
Turkey Goetta & Spinach Panini
Remembering her love of Goetta inspired me to use the No Knead Bread to make a Goetta Panini Sandwich.
Goetta Panini Sandwich
2 Slices Easy No Knead Bread
3 Squares Turkey & Chicken Goetta

When you and I are looking to maximize energy and satisfy cravings we need a power salad!
Fresh washed organic salad greens are around $5 a pound and will make at least 6 salads for the week. If you have a preparation day, you can chop drier vegetables ahead of time and divide them among your trays for easy retrieval throughout the week.
Drier vegetables I chop ahead of time for this power salad are things like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, walnuts, radishes, celery, or beets. Wet vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions can also be chopped, but placed in a separate container so the greens are not wilted.
The pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, or sunflower seeds can also be added to the dry salad mix on prep day. I usually add my quinoa after I add the seeds, too.
Today, this power salad has fresh kiwi and strawberries, so I saved them for the last minute. I also waited to add my red cabbage relish.
Power Salad Dressing
The dressing is an easy mix of 1 tsp apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon organic extra virgin olive oil. However, if you want to prepare this ahead of time too, you can add 2 ounces of apple cider vinegar to 4 ounces of olive oil and store it in a jar for later use. I also add a dash of onion powder, salt, and pepper.
The combination of nutrients makes this a truly powerful salad! It’s loaded with antioxidants, 114mg of vitamin C, 16 grams of fiber, and 17 grams of protein. If you are worried about the carb load you can leave off the quinoa, but it will remove fiber, protein, and vitamin E and B vitamins.
It’s a beautiful thing isn’t it?
What God puts in the garden is good!
He created his perfect Word to feed our souls and a perfect garden to sustain and nourish our bodies. You and I can choose today whether to eat from the garden or from man-made items that have most the nutrients removed and are filled with preservatives. He gives us a choice, just like Adam and Eve had a choice.
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
The power of discernment is something we need for our spiritual lives and our physical lives. We can distinguish good from evil when we learn God’s Word. In it we learn it applies to all areas of life. I’m including the need for discernment when choosing processed food and excess sugar, too. They are damaging to our cells and shorten our lives.
Salad prepping is easy, affordable, and very satisfying to our cells and the taste buds.
So, my hope and joy with this power salad today is to spark your own ideas for healthier choices. I am here to serve you as your RN Health & Wellness Coach if you need extra help!
Power Salad
2 Cups Salad Greens
1 Carrot
1 Kiwi
1/4 Cup Sour Krout
1 3 ounce can Sardines
6 Walnuts
1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
1 Tbsp Pumpkin Seeds
1 Stalk Celery
1/2 Cucumber
1 Tsp Onion Powder
2 Tbsp Red Cabbage
1 Tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 ounce Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Quinoa
Wash and chopped all vegetables and fruits appropriately before adding them to your plate.
Mix the apple cider vinegar and oive oil together and pour over the top.
Enjoy!
Will my Chocolate Craving ever go away?
The question I often ask myself, “Will my chocolate craving ever go away?” came day 8 of our 40 Days to Sugar Freedom fast from a lady wondering the same thing. It is a great question! One that has me thinking about the intrinsic reward of chocolate, and its potential health benefits.
I assume, of course, it must be meeting a need at a deeper level than pleasure.
Let’s face it, for those of us who stuck our fingers in a tub of cocoa while we were kids and placed it on our tongues with great anticipation learned very quickly; without the sugar, this stuff is awful!
In shocking disappointment, the bitter reality of chocolate’s delight comes crashing down.
Oh, but add that sweet white stuff and it is game on! I will also say, even addictive.
So, for us die hard chocolate fans, learning to like it with the minimum amount of sugar is key.
But why do we crave chocolate so much?
Although there are many possible reasons both intrinsic and extrinsic, let’s explore some basic biological principles in light of what we see in our environment today.
Experimental food studies show cravings can be a conditioned response and therefore, can be reversed. According to these researchers the short-term avoidance of a particular substance increases cravings, whereas the long-term removal diminishes them. (1)
So, it appears to be a matter of time. The hedonic (or reward system) is associated with dopamine receptors and increasing pleasure. The bible has clear reminders about this type of behavior:
“I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But behold, this also was vanity.”
Clearly, pleasure and joy associated with any material thing is to be questioned and cautioned. However, I still wonder about the needs of our cells that go beyond temporary enjoyment and how mineral deficiencies “could possibly” drive our need.
A Possible Magnesium Deficiency May Play a Role in Chocolate Craving
First off, according to PubMed, 45% of us are magnesium deficient (2). There are a number of reasons why Americans are deficient, but the two main reasons are processed food and soil depletion.
It is estimated that vegetables grown today have 80-90% less magnesium than they did 100 years ago! Although, farming practices have improved to reverse this matter, since 2000, that is still a big deal, and difficult to replenish.
Furthermore, the article states processed food (which refines and depletes the original food item to a pale and deficient counterpart) interferes with magnesium’s absorption in the body (2). One of the hundred reasons for you and I to eat whole food, all the time.
Magnesium is important for transporting calcium and potassium, cell stability, DNA repair and function, heart health, and energy metabolism.
Are cravings, weight loss problems, and disease connections with lifestyle and ultra-processed foods starting to make sense now?
I hope so!
You and I need to 3.6 mg/kg of magnesium a day to maintain balance and not be deficient.
A pound of body weight equals 2.2 kg, so divide your weight by 2.2 to find your bodyweight in kilograms and multiply it by 3.6 to find a “general” amount of magnesium you need per day.
Keep in mind this is a general number and varies based on activity (or lack thereof), perspiration, illness, or the body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
According to the USDA good sources of magnesium are:
Leafy greens (78mg/serving) (I’m taking an educated guess that common purslane and wild violets in your back yard are better sources!)
Nuts (80 mg/serving)
Whole grains (46 mg/serving)
Chocolate (228 mg/3.5 ounces)
Beans & Legumes (varies 40-60mg/1/2 cup)
Bananas (32 mg/banana)
Peaches
Figs
Prunes
Seeds (pumpkin 150 mg /ounce, chia (111mg/ounce)
Avocados (58mg/ounce)
God knows what you and I need before we need it and He placed everything in the garden and the soil (of your own back yard) to make sure we have it. A gift that is for our good and His glory.
Is It Possible More than One Deficiency in Minerals Contribute to Chocolate Craving?
The second highest mineral we lack is iron. The recommended daily amount for women and men is 8mg per day. Blood loss from a traumatic injury, endurance sports, long-term use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, plus heavy menstrual cycles in women can contribute to the problem. (3)
If bleeding is not an issue, there may be intestinal problems with absorption of iron in the gut. Celiac disease, Chron’s, Ulcerative Colitis, and Helicobacter Pylori can inhibit mineral absorption in the colon.
Therefore, it makes sense poor uptake of necessary minerals leaves our cells craving more!
Three ounces of dark chocolate or cocoa has 11.9 mg of iron. Although our brain may not connect the deficiency to the amount minerals in in our favorite snack, I’d say our cells know.
It’s a total guess on my part, but when tastes receptors in the oral cavity activate afferent nerves in the brainstem I begin to wonder. (4) The information pathway travels through the rest of the brain and communicates with the nerve pathways and homeostatic processes throughout the body. (4)
Wouldn’t it be cool if the brain see’s chocolate and the salivary glands stimulate this neurogenic pathway and get the cells excited for the minerals coming?
It might be a leap, but if God can create a dog to sense when a seizure is coming on in its master, it’s not much of a stretch to believe He trained tastes and memory to recognize a good source of necessary minerals when they’re present.
Time and research may eventually reveal all we need to know, but in the meantime the best practice to avoid chocolate cravings is the same:
Drink plenty of water.
Meet the needs of the cells with nuts, seeds, quality protein, fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens.
Eliminate processed foods that diminish mineral absorption.
Utilize distraction methods when temptations are near. For instance, go for a walk, pray, or think about how the item makes the joints or muscles ache.

The NOT So Amazing, But Good… Sugar Free Brownies
I know, you just want to click to see what is NOT so amazing, right? LOL, I found a sugar free banana brownie recipe on YouTube and wanted to try it, my way.
The original recipe calls for 3 bananas ( I made the mistake of using green bananas, so make sure yours are very ripe for the added sweetness) 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup of peanut butter. If you want that recipe, go for it!
I wanted mine a little more exciting, and power packed with protein, omega 3, and fiber.
So, here you go! Remember cocoa has antioxidants like flavanols that are anti-inflammatory. Therefore, since there is no refined white sugar in these sugar free brownies, they will not cause you pain. That’s a win, for sure! It is also helpful for increasing nitric oxide in the body, a powerful vasodilator that has cardioprotective measures. (1)
Cocoa powder has also been shown to feed the good gut bacteria to stimulate an anti-inflammatory pathway!
Friend, what God puts in the garden is good! The plans he has for you and me are just as spectacular as the plans He had for Jeremiah, when we place our trust in Him!
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
A simple sugar free brownie recipe adapted from a YouTube video
3 Bananas
1/2 Cup Organic Cocoa
1/2 Cup Organic Natural Peanut Butter
2 Tbsp. Hemp Seeds
2 Tbsp. Chia Seeds
1/2 Cup Walnuts
1 Tbsp. Vanilla
1 Tsp. Cinnamon
pinch Salt
2 Tbsp. Dark Chocolate Chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a bowl mash the bananas with a fork. Add the cocoa powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and peanut butter. (At this point if you decide you want them sweeter, you can add 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (or a 1/2 tsp liquid stevia).
Place the batter in an 8×8 pan lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the hemp seeds, chocolate chips, chia seeds and walnuts on the top and press down into the batter slightly.
Place them in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Cool then remove from pan and cut into squares. I store mine in the fridge!
They are yummy!
I hope you like these sugar free brownies! They are so full of nutrients you and I can feel good about indulging a little! We owe a big thank you to the person who created the idea! You’ll find other brownie recipes on the garden blog!
What to Expect with an RN Health & Wellness Coach
My main purpose as a RN Health & Wellness Coach is to help you change the lens you see through. The view you and I have of food, activity, relationships, and self all affect wellness. So, if the frame we see life through is skewed or too narrow, we’ll get stuck in patterns of destructive behavior.
Even if that behavior is contrary to our values!
I say this because so often we can get into a routine out of convenience, we don’t even think about the cost of small, daily decisions on our health. But those daily decisions matter. They matter due to long-term consequences and the possibility of chronic disease. But it’s not all our fault. We are bombarded with advertisements and culturally trained to eat ultra-processed food.
Food that is damaging to our cells.
Just look at this statement from a PubMed study regarding our Standard American Diet, otherwise known as the “Western Diet”…
We may also experience alterations in our DNA, lack of joy, and setting our children up for health issues. Focusing on L.E.A.N.S (Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, Nutrition, Spirituality) principles will help you and I avoid that for ourselves and our children.
Learning how to develop routines to move for fun, eat for enjoyment and health, and using inner strengths to bring purpose to decisions is how this RN Health & Wellness Coach approaches behavior change.
If you are faith-based, like me, I take it a step further and help you see a biblical view of each dimension of wellness.
The Collaborative RN Health Coach Approach
Walk alongside you and support you as you work through health decisions.
Help you achieve your desired health outcomes at your set pace.
Create a wellness vision and design steps to achieve that vision.
Create a safe environment for you to talk about fears, anxiety, and hopes for the future.
Connect your strengths and values to behavior.
Remind you as needed, you are in the driver’s seat and in charge of your health.
Discuss desired outcomes of biometrics (Lipid and Liver panels), what values mean, and how they place you at risk for chronic disease.
Use Motivational and Appreciative Interviewing to develop strategies that help you reduce your risk factors.
Make use of tools to help you make decisions and determine your level of satisfaction with life.
Create clear, measurable, objective goals to discuss each session.
Your coach doesn’t give solutions; she assists in helping you gain perspective and help you resolve issues.
Your coach listens attentively, encourages, and understands you well enough to bring out your best qualities.
Someone who holds you accountable, believes in you, and helps you stay on track.
A person who helps you overcome health misperceptions, tackle obstacles, and bring dreams into reality.
I coach with compassion and offer feedback that is constructive.
Create an intentional relationship that addresses the five pillars of health–Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, Nutrition, and Spirituality for you as a whole person.
RN Health Coach Ethics
As your RN Health & Wellness coach I provide complete confidentiality, and respect in all matters. You and I will have clear boundaries, and act with fairness, impartiality, and without discrimination. We will conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity at all times. It is vital to behave professionally and hold all conversations in strictest confidence unless there is harm to others.
It is also vital to have a distraction free zone when we talk! Cell phones off, not scheduling other activities or guests during meetings, and removing interfering pets or family members is important. Your time is valuable, and every minute we use towards focusing on you is going to help progress.
Overall, it is a relationship that helps you achieve optimal health in a safe and professional manner.
Mysty
I hope this post helps explain the role of the RN Health & Wellness Coach. Health decisions should not be hard. Simplifying health God’s way is a goal I try to reach with all of my clients (who are open to that concept). Since I enjoy growing a garden and developing healthy recipes, you’ll find easy meal ideas in the Garden blog.
Looking up benefits of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds from the National Institute of Health is always fun for science geeks like me, too! I strive to apply these facts to the recipe blogs. Plus, there is encouragement and support for you here, if you want to check out the site. Even if you are not faith-based, I can still help you achieve your goals.

Sugar Free Berry Crisp
A sugar free berry crisp is a great way to start the day!
Here is a simple and easy recipe for you to make if you are interested in enjoying your berry crisp without eating a lot of sugar.
Benefits of Berries
According to PubMed, studies show berries are plentiful in anthocyanins, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Therefore, they are beneficial for the following conditions:
Cancer fighting antioxidants
Reduces inflammation
Oxidative Stress
Reduces Heart disease risks
Beneficial for low fat diets and fighting obesity
Antioxidants help fight neurodegenerative disorders.
Fighting Alzheimer’s
Enjoy the benefits of berries in your morning routine and throughout the day to improve blood vessels, and blood flow to all areas of the body. What God puts in the garden is good!
Devotion
Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt. During the seven plentiful years the earth produced abundantly, and he gathered up all the food of these seven years, which occurred in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He put in every city the food from the fields around it.
Joseph stored up the grain from the seven plentiful years as the earth produced abundant crops. You and I can benefit from the storing up in our plentiful years, too! When we are young, we have the opportunity to store up savings, train our children in the way they should go, and take care of our homes.
If we have faith and value, the wisdom of the bible we can store up treasures in heaven. I am grateful for every berry God provides and all wisdom in his Word. I hope you do too!
Enjoy this berry crisp today and get some of those antioxidants while you build up your cells!
In a pie pan place the three cups of berries and add the corn starch or tapioca. You can use frozen or fresh berries, whatever you have on hand. Here you can add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey to sweeten if you prefer.
In a separate bowl, add the oats, walnuts cinnamon, and salt.
Blend in the two eggs and coat all the oats (if you want… add another tablespoon of maple syrup or honey in this step, too)
Cover the berries with the oat mixture and bake for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly. Remove and enjoy! I store mine in the fridge!
I look forward to sharing more recipes with you! Check out the garden for more ways to use berries! If you are looking for workshops, I have those too!
