    Mushrooms in your juice?!

    No, not the trippy kind!

    1 zucchini
    5 white mushrooms

    1" cube of ginger

    Juice.

    Note: mushrooms are the only vegetarian/ vegan food that contain vitamin d naturally!

    Monday morning calming juice

    Trying to avoid the impending freak out of school being back in full swing, trying to maintain proficiency in three languages, packing for our move (yay! Homeowners!), babies, upcoming trainings to become a certified WIC breastfeeding peer counselor, doula births, and my sanity.

    Here is some juice that helps me to feel calm. No- I have no scientific proof.

    1 sweet potato
    1 pear
    1/2 yellow bell pepper
    1 inch cube ginger
    1 handful parsley

    Pumpkin kale stew with red lentils and black eyed peas

    1 can coconut milk
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1.5 inch cube ginger, minced
    2-4 dried chili peppers
    1/2 onion, chopped
    1 bunch kale, destemmed and ripped
    1 can black eyed peas, drained
    1 handful baby carrots, chopped
    1 c red lentils, cooked until only a bit of water is left
    2 tbsp curry powder
    2 tsp cloves
    1 tbsp cinnamon
    Salt
    Black pepper
    Coconut oil

    1. In a large pot, heat coconut oil on medium. Add garlic, ginger and chili and sauté for 3 minutes. Add kale and carrots sauté for 5 more minutes.

    2. Add pumpkin and comix thoroughly. Sauté for 5 more minutes on high stirring constantly. Lower heat and add coconut milk.

    3. Add spices.

    4. In a different pan, prepare the red lentils. Cook until almost finished, reserving a bit of the water. Add to main pot and fold together. add black eyed peas. Season with salt and pepper.

    5. Continue to cook for about 10 to 15 minutes while preparing couscous, quinoa or other grain. Serve hot.

    Note: you can leave the grain out and instead serve as a bisque styled soup by blending all ingredients together after ingredient 4.

     

    If you want to share this as a "family" food, feel free to leave out the pepper, but depending on how hot your dried peppers are they probably won't add too much kick.
