Cooking Tips
- Recipe of the Week: Roasted Salsa Featuring Green or Red Tomatoes
- Leave the peel on fresh garlic cloves in blended recipes. Garlic peels are full of protective phytochemicals that are being heavily studied and incorporated into pharmaceuticals designed to protect healthy cells during chemotherapy treatments.
- Roasting tomatoes and jalapenos is an aromatherapy experience. If you are buying jarred salsa, you are missing out.
- Put tomatoes and jalapenos in the toaster oven to broil for 30 minutes. Then let them cool all day long.
- Make sure tomatoes are cooled before blending so the residual heat doesn’t cook your cilantro.
- When you are ready to blend salsa, add tomatoes, garlic cloves with peel, and salt to the blender. Pulse cilantro.
- You can use a food processor instead of a blender (not with green tomatoes). Press garlic. Add optional finely diced onion.
- Taste it for sufficient spice before you add the cilantro, you won’t want to blend any more after adding cilantro.
- If it needs more spice, add a dried toasted arbol chili from your pantry.
- Stock up on vanilla beans. Make Instant Vanilla Extract—get ready for baking season; keep your pantry stocked and vanilla rich.
Encouragement
- If you are eating a Protective Diet, your family is eating much more exciting salsa, and food. And there is zero guilt in serving it.
- My Day Fasting practice makes me feel amazing. It is anti-aging, energy-inspiring, incredibly rewarding for human health, and amazingly protective. I will shout it from the mountain tops! This feels good!
- Food satisfaction has a huge impact on our ability to do this long term.
- I love my practice of a Protective Diet and I would never deviate from it. It’s so much easier than having a medical emergency.
“Why did I ever stop doing something that made me feel amazing? –Because I got distracted with a bunch of baloney that I have no control over.
I need a self-check-in. We all do.”
