Juice It Baby!

I'm preoccupied today with the news of my little 2 year old cousin Hudson. He has to have emergency surgery to remove a burst Appendix . Hudson is beautiful in every way. For 2 he's built like a fullback, tough as nails. He has a great smile, too! I'd like to ask whoever reads this entry today to offer up a prayer, or intention, or what ever you can muster up for this little bundle of sweetness. I wish I could take your pain away doll. I love you Hudson…

I realize how this blog is about so much more than food. It's a blog about life's connections. It's about nutrition inside and out. What we feed our bodies, as well as what we feed our soul. And what we feed to each other. The people we encounter and the energetics of this embrace. I write about people I have "traveled" with and the ones I love, and adore. I have experienced pain and sorrow with some. The discomfort of not having peace with the people you care for can be disheartening. It can erode your most inner trust and you want to heal but you don't know where to begin.

Unexpectedly a 2 year old child is faced with a serious illness and suddenly all of that "stuff" I just spoke of falls away, and I mean everything. It almost becomes trivial. I would like to gather all of my breath and breathe life and love into this little "Prince of Peace" Hudson. Will you take a moment and do that for him, please…

I'm featuring this Bok Choy salad with sunflower seed cheese because of it's restorative properties. Everything in this baby has a high density, phyto nutrient pop! It will deliver health and happiness
to your door step…

Here's the mix:

*4 Bok Choy leaves

*A big hand full of buckwheat sprouts. You can add sunflower sprouts and or pea.

*small buch of cherry tomatoes sliced in half.

*4 dollops of sunflower seed cheese. You will find the seed cheese-yogurt recipe in my earlier entry titled "Sassy Sunflower Power".

* To create the bed I use Asian salad, but you can use what ever you have on hand…except iceberg! For gods sake, no iceberg.

Simple dressing:

*A good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

*A little drizzle of apple cider vinegar

*1 lemon squeezed. Watch you don't get seeds in the salad! If your a texture person like me, it may disrupt the experience.

*A squirt if Braggs liquid amino, or Namu Shoyu raw soy sauce. Im not a soy fan but there are exceptions.

* If you have flax oil drizzle some on top as well, if not that's fine, too.

Find or borrow a nice big plate or bowl. Arrange your ingredients as in the picture. When you plop your seed cheese on the Bok Choy leaves you can sprinkle some cayenne on top. It adds flavor and nutrient value!

Thank you for your prayers, intentions, and offerings for Hudson. I am grateful to those of you who read my blog. I hope you can take all the good stuff in here and somehow mix it into your life… Juice It Baby!
