Here is an inspirational movie made by a friend of mine who makes his living teaching through teleseminars. I will be taking this class so that I can teach everyone how to make Holistic Cookies easier.

Let me show you 7 ways to save money by eating organic carrots. Saving money has become our number 1 priority, but we cannot forget to keep taking care of our health. Organic food delivers so much more than we know. The small increase in cost is diminished by the large increase in value.

 

1.  Eat a raw carrot before lunch or dinner, whichever is your largest meal. Juicy carrot fiber will give you a feeling of fullness that will allow you to eat less and still feel satisfied.

 

1a. If you have trouble chewing raw carrots, make a fast blender soup with fresh organic carrots, frozen peas, and frozen broccoli. Add spices and boiling water. Blend for 2 minutes. Add 1 tsp. organic extra virgin olive oil to aid in digestion.

 

2.  Grate organic carrots and add them to salad. Some people prefer a salad before dinner. This gets the digestive juices flowing and results in a feeling of fullness from all the various vegetable fibers.

 

3.  Organic carrot fiber improves your regularity. Carrot fiber is juicy and soothing to the intestines. No need to buy expensive carrot juice. Over time you will be able to cut back on the use of laxatives which will save even more money.

 

4.  Organic carrots are chemical free and do not add any toxins into your body. Many people buy the small baby carrots that have the skins and the outside of the carrot grated off. That is an unnecessary expense. Others have found that the organic carrots already taste sweeter even with the skin on and only buy baby carrots occasionally for the convenience.

 

5.  Organic carrots are loaded with vitamins and nutrients that improve the quality of your skin. The vitamin A in carrots helps balance the pH of the skin’s surface. This will help your complexion creams work better. Since you will be using less, they will last longer thus reducing the cost.

 

6.  Organic carrots can be carried with you easily. A day’s worth of snacks requires no refrigeration and costs only pennies. Compare the cost of 2 carrots cut into 8 slices with several bags of chips, cookies, etc. Compare how much chewing is involved in chewing that much juicy, sweet carrot fiber. It is the chewing that brings us a feeling of satisfaction.

 

7.  Add ground organic carrots to baked goods. The added fiber and sweet nutrition from carrots makes it possible to use less sugar without decreasing the sweet taste.

I had a wonderful time in August - traveling - visiting old friends - making new friends - and seeing new places. Now I am back and ready and eager to tell you about making Holistic cookies and healthy comfort food.

During my vacation, my book editors have been hard at work challenging my thinking and my writing. I am so lucky to have such intelligent and creative people helping me make the best book for you to use.

Here is the first big mistake I want to clear up — really — it is kind of funny, but actually a serious subject.

It was thought that I was going to tell people that they could substitute one Holistic cookie for a serving of vegetables. And then 2 cookies would be 2 servings of vegetables.

No, that won’t work. You still need to eat your vegetables. And why wouldn’t you want to? They are delicious in and of themselves.

The Holistic cookie recipes just add vegetables to the recipe to add fiber and slow down the sugar reactivity — thus making you feel more satisfied with only one cookie instead of needing 6 cookies and still not feeling satisfied.

There will not be enough vegetables in one cookie to make it be a complete serving. But it is truly amazing how much hidden vegetables can change how a cookie is digested.

If you do not know they are there, does it still count as a vegetable?

Does zucchini hidden in zucchini bread or cake still count as a vegetable?

Does Banana bread still count as a fruit?

How about carrots hidden in cakes or brownies — does that count?

I think that if you use a better quality organic sugar and since it is sweeter you can easily use less of it AND if you use Vita-Spelt flour which has a higher protein content and less allergans — THEN you have a comfort food that is NOT junk food.

I still am not sure if you can actually call it a vegetable, but I know that it is not empty calories or in any way to be considered junk.

I am so excited to share all my recipes and stories with you in “The Holistic Cookie” (coming soon). I am really looking forward to your questions and comments.

In the meantime, feel free to post any comments or questions here.

Do hidden vegetables count as a vegetable? What do you think?

 

How can a cookie be Holistic? What does Holistic mean?

Holistic means that we are WHOLE people. (somewhere along the line they dropped the “w”) Any aspect of our lives can be called Holilstic if it meets the 3 objectives of including all 3 aspects of a Whole person — that is: Body, Mind and Spirit.

For cooking we address body-mind-spirit in this way to make it Holistic –

1. Upgrade your Ingredient list by choosing organic food, high protein flour, fair trade whole sugar and other higher quality ingredients.

2. Consciously choose to add more fruits and vegetables to everything. “The Holistic Cookie” will teach you how to hide them in your favorite cookies, cakes, etc. You know they are there so it can satisfy your mind. But they are hidden so that part of you that needs comforting still gets attention. Plus you do Not get that sugar overload that only makes you more depressed and more hungry. What a relief! Satisfying Confort food!

3. Take a moment to appreciate the gift of better nutrition you are giving yourself. Thank yourself, your cook, your Creator. Smile and be happy. Accept the comfort you are creating.

Welcome to my new blog. I am here to tell you about my forthcoming book “The Holistic Cookie — Increase the Quality of your Diet Easily and with Less Effort”.

Here is my unique point of view. We need Comfort Food. Comfort Food is here to stay. Why not face that fact and go with it? I know the secret of how to improve Comfort Food and make it Highly Nutritious Holistic Comfort Food that is no longer junk food. 

Here is one of the secrets — it tastes Great! Your mind will never suspect that it is good for you. But your body will be happier and more energized because it is getting the nutrition it is craving. 

More about this later. I welcome all comments.
