Moroccan Chickpea Potato Soup Vegetarian Recipe
Dr. D introduced us to the Whole Life Nutrition cookbook by Tom Malterre, CN and Ali Segersten. This is one of their recipes, and I adapted it slightly as I found it needed more flavor. It is hearty, filling, and warm on a cold winter night. Makes 18 servings (1 cup) Ingredients 1 T coconut oil 2 cloves garlic 0.5 red onion 3 t curry powder 1 t turmeric 1 t cardamon 1 t cumin 2 t bouillon powder 4 cups chickpeas 10 cups water 4 potatoes, peeled and diced 2 carrots, peeled and finely grated 2 t bouillon, vegetable 1 small can tomato paste rice vinegar to taste Directions Saute onion and garlic in oil.

Our Traditional Ethnic Themed Christmas Dinner
Last year we started a new Christmas tradition. It was my first year making Christmas dinner as a vegetarian, so we opted for a Thai dinner instead of the traditional turkey or ham dinner. It was AWESOME! I made a couple curry dishes, a chickpea curry and a vegetable curry, spicy noodles, and my stepmom brought salad rolls with tahini dipping sauce. This year we did a Japanese theme dinner. I have a good friend that lives in Tokyo right now, and we are hoping to visit her in the next couple years if we can save enough money for the ...
Now that you’ve had a taste of my memoirs…
I've decided to stop posting my memoirs online because I am loving the process of writing, and I deserve the chance to see if I can get my memoirs published. So. Would you read my book? I hope you'll stick around to see how things turn out... I'll still be posting in my unique Organique Gal style. Just not memoirs. At least not till I have at least 20 rejections under my belt.
Nativity Scene Project (ages 4-6)
Every year we try to do a Christmas project with our son, when a friend referred me to this idea I thought it looked like fun. We didn't have any felt, but we did have lots of construction paper, so we tackled the project as a family. First we looked at the different nativity blocks here, and dh drew the shapes on the construction paper: Then ds cut out the shapes... And I glued them on the wooden blocks!
Kamut Bread for Bread Machine (wheat-free, sugar-free, egg-free) Recipe
This bread recipe is adapted from here. I prefer a multi-grain loaf, and only sweeten my baking with agave. I found the texture of this loaf the best I've found yet for a wheat free bread. It slices without crumbling, and toasts nicely. The flavor is very much like a regular wheat multi-grain bread. (Note: Kamut is not gluten free, but many people, including myself, with a gluten sensitivity find this ancient grain does not affect them.) 3.5 hours | 10 min prep 1.5 lb loaf Wet Ingredients: 3 tablespoons coconut oil 0.25 cup agave nectar 1.5 cups warm water Dry Ingredients: 4 cups kamut flour 2 teaspoons salt 0.5 ...

Children with Food IssuesI have had ongoing food issues with my son since birth. He has a real aversion to a number of textures (soup, mushy, soft, pureed) and flavors (savory, spices, meats, vegetables, most fruits). When he was a baby he would gag till he threw up when I started trying to feed him cereal and baby food. He was exclusively breastfed (other than dry crackers,... [Read more of this review]
April’s Incredible Shrinking Act – Down 28 lbs to Date!
August 1st I was at my all time heaviest weight. 280 lbs. More than 20 lbs over the weight I was when I was 9 months pregnant in 2003. Emotionally I was at an all time low. Physically my body was giving up. I was in chronic pain in my hip, ribs and back, and I felt really sick all the time. My SIL is a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor, and she offered...
