Cabbage As a Kid

When you have fresh oregano and cabbage coming along nicely in the garden it’s time to make some Oregano & Mushroom Cabbage Rolls! Do you remember as a kid not wanting to try cabbage because of the smell? I do too! I’m not sure what made me try it…..oh wait! YES, I do. My mom would make the classic southern cabbage casserole with butter, cheese and crackers!

Yep, that’s how my siblings and friends grew up. But the good thing is we developed a taste for the natural sweetness of cabbage. So, as we got older we learned to try it other ways. Maturity makes us try new things doesn’t it? We want more out of life, and to provide more for those around us. The benefits of which, reap rewards for years to come. Keep in mind, some of the nutrients in this amazing food is lost when we boil it, like it’s vitamin C.(1) It is much better to make a fermented sauerkraut to retain this vital nutrient.

Benefits of Oregano, Mushroom, & Cabbage

However, for this dish, we will steam the cabbage to try and retain some of it’s vitamins, while releasing some of it’s antioxidant potential.

Cooking or steaming cabbage can release the antioxidant kaempferol that has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, cardioprotective, and antidiabetic properties. This is one food you definitely want in your arsenal to fight disease! (3)

The highest amount of flavonoids have been found in parsley, dill, oregano, celery, and fennel! Fresh herbs you can grow yourself and add to your dishes each day for flavor and nutrition (2). Therefore, growing oregano can benefit your entire family. God’s amazing plan for your health began the third day of creation and is still in effect today. So, take advantage of this beautiful herb for it’s anticancer effects! You will also experience beneficial cardiovascular effects, antimicrobial benefits, and more!

Mushrooms are also high in polyphenols, polysaccharides, anti-cancer, improve immune system, and help with diabetes.

God’s Provision

The bottom line, as I always say is “What God put in the garden is good!”

I was reading Luke chapter 12 today. There are so many principles in this passage of scripture that help me and you appreciate everything God provides. Jesus basically tells his disciples not to worry, and not to hoard up things for themselves. He reminds them to be faithfully wise managers of everything.

Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?”  And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?  Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

Luke 12 ESV – Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees – Bible Gateway

We learn in this passage and throughout scripture that wise choices, trusting God, and submitting our lives to Him are for our benefit. The honor and privilege of abundant sources of nutrition strengthens our bodies for the mission field around us! Our families, neighbors, friends, and coworkers will know of His great love. So, I hope you have time to try these Oregano & Mushroom Cabbage Rolls this week! Your cells with thank you!

Here is the Recipe!

We start our garden the Saturday after St. Patrick’s day, weather permitting, of course. There is usually cold weather and rain most of the month, but usually a week or two of warm dry days come along to allow tilling and planting. We take advantage of those rare spring days to plant broccoli, cabbage, onions, and potatoes.

The abundance of cabbage and broccoli this year make for some tasty dishes in the kitchen starting in late May! There is nothing more satisfying to my palate than picking my own home-grown vegetables and coming up with recipes. I hope this Savory Cabbage Cashew & Broccoli Sauté will become one of your favorite summertime dishes as it has in our home.

Cabbage Benefits

Do you notice something about the head of cabbage in this picture? It has some well eaten leaves from a voracious cabbage worm, however the head grew healthy and strong. We use organic compost to fertilize the soil and we do not spray any pesticides on our plants. So, we expect a few eaten leaves and watch God do what He does best, water it and make it grow.

His supply of nutrients for us never runs out if we just partake of what He provides in the garden. The amazing benefits of cabbage begin with it’s rich supply of macronutrients and cancer fighting compounds. It is helpful in digestion, fighting inflammation, and providing necessary minerals to help our joints function. The calcium, magnesium, and potassium in this healthy plant also provide nutrients necessary to stabilize heart and blood vessel function. You can read all about the benefits of cabbage at this Organic Facts site.

Giving Thanks

“Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens as a tent. From your lofty abode you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work. You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man’s heart.

Savory Cabbage Cashew & Broccoli Sauté

The zucchini is coming on fast with this lovely warm summer! I anticipate the growth when I see those beautiful orange blooms! Believe it or not, the broccoli is still producing smaller heads that want to sprout upward and bloom to produce seed. If I don’t catch them in time, they will flower within a day!

The clear picture of provision and bountiful urgency to reproduce themselves never ceases to amaze me in God’s glorious garden. As the rain continues its steady flow outside the window, I think about how faithful God is to provide.

Ask rain from the Lord in the season of the spring rain, from the Lord who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain, to everyone the vegetation in the field.
Zechariah 10:1

Zechariah 10:1-3 ESV – The Restoration for Judah and Israel – Bible Gateway

Even if you don’t grow a garden, the delicious broccoli and zucchini are available to you at your local grocery store or farmer’s market. So enjoy the vegetation God places in season and use the freshly picked vegetables and rotisserie chicken from the store to make this delicious Sweet & Spicy Chicken Zucchini Quinoa Bowl.

It is always fun to use fresh herbs to make an old favorite more appealing and flavorful. So, I picked a few oregano leaves to create a fresh oregano chicken and zucchini dish. As with any herb, applying them at the end or after cooking allows them to retain their nutritional benefits. For instance, adding fresh oregano to this dish adds antioxidants like thymol, carvacrol, limonene, terpinene, ocimene, and caryophyllene. It’s loaded!

Oregano Benefits

Why are these antioxidants so important? They help reduce cancer cell growth, are used to combat diabetes, they have anti-inflammatory benefits, as well as antibacterial properties. God knew long before he created mankind the diseases he would face and how well his plant creations will help with healing.

This boatful perennial herb is easy to grow, too! All we have to do is plant it and watch it come back year after year.

If that’s not exciting enough, just imagine the flavor. It is peppery an pungent right off the stem, but mellows to a superbly tasty enhancement just wilted in this chicken dish. So, get ready for an easy, healthy, and delicious meal!

Fresh Oregano Chicken & Zucchini

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 Cups Precooked Chicken (Baked and sliced or Rotisserie Shredded)
• 1 Medium Organic Zucchini Chopped
• 1 Thinly sliced Carrot
• 1/2 Thin Sliced Onion
• 1 Tbsp. Fresh Chopped Oregano (No stems)
• 2 Tbsp. Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 Tsp. Onion Powder
• 1/2 Tsp. pepper

Heat your skillet to medium heat, add the oil then the onions, carrots, and zucchini. Add the onion powder and pepper to the vegetables sauté until just tender, about 10 min. I do not add salt to this dish because the rotisserie chicken I used for this was well seasoned and all I had to do was add it to the skillet to warm when the vegetables were cooked. The last minute I added the fresh cut oregano. It is Yummy!

I hope you enjoy what God puts in the garden near you, whether it is in your local grocery store or farmer’s market. While His garden is pleasing your belly, let HIs word freshen your soul:

He put a new song in my mouth,   a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,  and put their trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!

Therefore, if you are looking for a fresh take and full impact for staying full, you’re in the right place. Sustaining and easy salad ideas are here for your enjoyment!

Breakfast Salad and Eggs

Now, don’t be put off by the thought of salad first thing in the morning. It is delicious! The firs thing to do is get that image of iceberg lettuce out of your head and think about lucious spinach, arugula, and beet greens found in an organic 50/50 blend of greens.

The benefit is a good start to your day of magnesium, manganese, potassium, vitamin E, protein, and antioxidants to get you through your morning without feeling hungry or deprived. Here is how simple it is:

1. Gather 2 cups of salad greens on a plate or shallow bowl, sprinkle with some onion powder, drizzle a capful of organic extra virgin olive oil over it plus a capful of apple cider vinegar, and set aside.
2. Prepare two free range eggs according to your preference: soft, medium, hard cooked over 1 tsp of organic extra virgin olive oil. In the same skillet add 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds and 1 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds, until just toasted.
3. Place the eggs and seeds over your greens and enjoy!

Prebiotic and Probiotic Loaded Salad Fix

Another sustaining and easy salad idea comes from the same salad mix of 50/50 blend or this salad. It is a perfect blend of flavor and nutrition: Here’s what you add:

1. 1 cup finely chopped broccoli
2. 1 cup finely chopped carrots
3. 1/2 cup cucumbers
4. 1/4 cup finely sliced beets

For your dressing Mix 1/4 cup full fat plain Greek Yogurt with 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and a tablespoon of fresh parsley and lemon balm. It’s better with minced, juicy tablespoon of onion (but if you’re in a hurry use the onion powder).

God’s Word Sustains Us Too!

The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.

Two Easy Meals for One or Two People

Hello, my heart friend. I find myself in need of a few quick meals that are easy to prepare and store for my lunch the next day. How about you? Thinking ahead and preparing the meals on my preparation day, helps me eat a little healthier too. I know I want my vegetables to be crisp and flavorful, so stir-fry is my go to. Shrimp is on sale this week and it will compliment the veggies well for my first meal.

The second meal, incorporates broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots with Adele’s Chicken Apple Sausage. So, here is your shopping list for both:

• 1 lb. organic carrots
• 1 bunch organic broccoli
• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1 ounce of coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup fresh snap peas
• 1 onion
• 1 lb organic button mushrooms
• 1 package Adele’s Chicken apple sausage
• 1 12 oz bag shrimp
• 1 red pepper
• Onion powder
• 1 bulb of garlic
• If you are in a pinch and do not have time (or the energy) to cut up all theses vegetables don’t hesitate to make your life a little easier and substitute a 12 ounce bag of frozen, already chopped stir-fry vegetables and a 12 ounce bag of California Style vegetables. They both contain all of the vegetables listed above.

15 Minute Shrimp Stir-Fry

First, sauté 1 cup of precooked shrimp in 1 minced clove of garlic and heated olive oil, heat for about a minute then remove from the skillet and set aside.

Second, place the stir-fry vegetables into the skillet ( this can be your 12 ounce bag of stir-fry vegetables) or sauté 1/2 cup mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add the onions, then the carrots, stir until just tender, add 1/4 cup diced red pepper and snap peas. Add the 1 cup chopped broccoli last. Mix 1 ounce of coconut aminos with 2 ounces of water and add this to the pan, stir well then add incorporate the shrimp.

It only takes about 15 minutes.
****I do not add salt to this dish because the coconut aminos is high in sodium, it is spread throughout the dish, but if you are on a low sodium diet you may want to use less, maybe a teaspoon instead of an ounce***

15 Minute California Blend with Chicken Apple Sausage

First, heat a medium skillet with very lightly coated olive oil.

Next, thinly slice the sausage and sauté until browned. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside. Add 1 ounce of olive oil mixed with two ounces of water to the skillet. Follow that with 1 tsp onion powder, 1 teaspoon pepper, and a pinch of salt.

Lastly, stir until just tender and return the sausage to the pan, mix well and serve or store for lunch the next day!

I hope these easy 15 minute meals help you have an easier week! Maybe it will offer you less time to stress over what to eat and more time to spend enjoying life. Here is a beautiful message from Paul in chapter 5 of Romans to spend some time on today as you check off one more thing on your to do list:

 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also obtained access through Him by faith^[ into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.  And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

You have a blessed day and remember, what God puts in the garden is good!

Does your body sometimes crave the goodness of the garden? Mine does, especially after indulging in too many sweets while on vacation. Even though I maintain that 80% fruit, vegetable, whole food plan, that 20% of junk is causing misery. So, it’s back to basics with this Cashew Cauliflower & Asparagus Medley.

Cauliflower is a Powerhouse in Fighting Disease

When I think of all the benefits of cauliflower and asparagus I start to feel better already. The idea of decreasing joint pain and stiffness is appealing with this combination of anti-inflammatory delights. Cauliflower for instance, contains antioxidants that help fight cancer, the aging process and aide hormone balance. As a member of the brassica family of vegetables, cauliflower contains phytochemicals that lower oxidative stress, promote detoxifying enzymes, stimulate the immune system, decrease the risk of cancer, inhibit cancer causing mutations at the cellular level, as well as reducing the ability of cancer cells to grow and reproduce (1). We are talking, POWERHOUSE, of God given ability to fight disease.

While the benefits of cauliflower are amazing, its sister asparagus, in this dish also empowers our cells to fight disease! The polyphenols extracted in one study showed five antioxidant nutrients to fight disease; including ferulic acid, quercetin, rutin, isorhamnetin and kaempferol (2).

I don’t know about you, but I’m in! I’m starting by combining the lovely cauliflower with asparagus and cashews.

What God Puts in The Garden is So Good!

And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.
Genesis 1:29

There is no doubt science reveals the complexity and phenomenal plan of God’s provision for our bodies. His provision for our bodies is only outdone only by His provision for our mind and souls… through his word. So be assured today, in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God, he was with God in the beginning and the word became flesh and dwelt among us in the form of Jesus. (John 1:1, 14).

What a beautiful plan for divinely designed people!

The first time I saw Soft Fish Taco’s on a cooking show, I thought, “WHAT!?” So, of course I wanted to try it. I don’t remember what fish or spices they used to make it either. A general rule of thumb for basic items like fish tacos is use what you know tastes good with fish and if it doesn’t turn out go back and look at the recipe. Now, the exception of course is baking; I follow the recipe to the T the first time, then change as I prefer. My guess is, you may too.

The standout for me on the first recipe I saw years ago was the garlic cucumber yogurt sauce, Tzatziki. Delicious! I love to make a red cabbage vinegar slaw to go on the side as well. Yum. If you can find Ice Atlantic cod, that is wild caught in Iceland, that is best. The Pacific cod in my local grocer is from China, and I’m not sure how trustworthy anything processed from there is anymore.

Cod Fish Benefits

The benefits of cod fish are: It’s low in calories and provides B12, magnesium, potassium and zinc. Included in this impressive nutrient load is approximately 90mcg of iodine; which is important for people with low thyroid function. Cod is also a good source of protein (20 grams for approximately 3 ounces). It is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids as well, which are touted for their heart health benefits. The funny thing is, studies show the fish oil capsules help with inflammatory pain like arthritis but are not conclusive with improving heart health. However, eating the actual fish is! There is always a lead in Science revealing a link back to food in its natural form, isn’t there? Kind of like what God puts in the garden (and the waterways) to nourish and sustain us!

Come and have breakfast,” Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?” because they knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish.

John 21 HCSB – Jesus’ Third Appearance to the – Bible Gateway

Jesus knew exactly what Peter, James and John needed after a long night of fishing. They not only need the nourishment of fish and bread, but of encouragement to do the necessary work of fishing for men. Men and women looking for something to fill the emptiness in their souls. An emptiness only Jesus, himself, can fulfill. Fortunately, for the disciples and us, he provides both. Take heart today, be strengthened by knowing the gospel of Jesus and His provision. Who knows? We may have the privilege of eating breakfast with Him too some day!

A Cottage pie is one of my favorite meals on a cold winter day. Well actually, any day of the year works, but when it’s cold outside and the oven is on…I just get that toasty, comfortable cottage feeling. Now, since I’m reading a book about excess carbohydrates and Alzheimer’s Disease, I want this one to be low carb. As you probably see throughout the internet, cauliflower in place of potatoes is one way to accomplish that task. So, I’d like share my version of a simple Low Carb Cottage Pie, using cauliflower.

Wellness Tip: Reducing carbohydrates is beneficial for all of us since the prevalence of prediabetes and insulin resistance is approaching 80 million people in the United States. Research studies reveal a strong relationship between insulin resistance and dementia. Since, we all know loved ones with one or the other, it is wise to know how to combat this escalating chronic disease. Insulin resistance in synonymous with high cholesterol and elevated triglycerides both of which contribute to oxidative stress on our cells. Especially, the cognitive area of the brain. {1} Therefore, taking measures to reduce oxidative stress is wise for all of us. We can do that by eating a primarily plant based diet (80%) reducing daily sugar consumption, and lowering starchy vegetables and grains. This Low-Carb Cottage Pie is a start!

The difference between a Shepherds’ Pie and a Cottage Pie is the meat. I’m using lean ground beef for this instead of lamb. To make it even easier, I’m adding a bag of frozen chopped vegetables. Making things easier to prepare helps me stay on track with healthier eating throughout the week. I want preparing meals to be easier for you, too.

The other area that I want to be easier for you, is trusting God. His word declares an account of His provision and love. I am encouraged today, knowing He loves me and provides for me and my family. I’m sure the two of us can look back during times of distress and see where He walked beside us. We can take comfort today as He continues to shepherd us through trying times:

The Lord is the strength of His people; He is a stronghold of salvation for His anointed. Save Your people, bless Your possession, shepherd them, and carry them forever.

Psalm 28:8-9

Any time of year is good for chili spaghetti squash. In places that savor their chili over pasta but don’t like the carbs, spaghetti squash makes a nice substitute. Not only is it filling, it provides small amounts of vitamin A & C. As well as minerals, potassium and calcium. Topped with your favorite chili recipe or this Quinoa Black Bean Chili, you’ll be set to enjoy a warm comfortable evening.

While chili spaghetti fills our bodies with food, let’s fill our souls with God’s word. The Psalmist says:

Lord, Your word is forever; it is firmly fixed in heaven.Your faithfulness is for all generations; You established the earth, and it stands firm.They stand today in accordance with your judgements, for all things are your servants. If Your instruction had not been my delight, I would have died in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts, for You have given me life through them.I am Yours, save me for I have sought Your precepts.

Psalm 119:89-94 HCSB – ל Lamed LORD, Your word is forever; it – Bible Gateway

Don’t you love that God’s word is firmly fixed in heaven? Something we can count on it throughout every generation. Just as the earth stands firm, we can stand firm in God’s faithfulness. Moreover, It is life to us and something we won’t forget. I don’t know about you, but I will delight in that firm foundation, my friends!

Top this chili spaghetti squash with your favorite cheese and enjoy! Remember too, what’s in the garden is good!
