Brunch of champions. It's best when the store has good plantains and your friend has shared with you some of their special home-made kimchi - add a nice avocado and delicious fruit for a great brunch. Bake the plantains with chili, salt, pepper and a dab of oil, or dry fry them in a cast iron skillet.

Cooking with garlic can upset IBS and causes really bad breath. But garlic vinegar gives a nice garlic flavor but without the bad reaction. Use it in everything soups, dressings, and stir fry. Flavoring the vinegar with ginger is also nice! Use apple cider vinegar for extra flavor. Store in the fridge: otherwise the fresh herbs will rot, but when refrigerated, this will keep a very long time. To make your own, chop up about 6 cloves of garlic or a large ginger root, cut in half or in smaller pieces, and put in the vinegar of your choice, wait a couple days for it to "steep" and enjoy.

Salt, pepper, a little paprika to spice it up, splash of olive oil and a little roasting and you have a high fiber high protein snack to get you through the workweek. Also, works great as a topping.

<br />
It is not necessary to cage birds to hear them sing - by studying their biology, their ecology and their behavior, you not only understand more about these delightful creatures (and yourself, and the world you share), but can welcome them in such a way that they will reliably sing just outside your kitchen window. <br />
<br />
As with all Yoga, it is the process of learning how to achieve the goal (of bird song) while practicing love (by respecting the fundamental importance of freedom to all living beings) which accomplishes the purpose.<br />
<br />
If you do not have the time or ability to study these sciences, you can seek Teachers, Instructors and advisors. Here in Grand Junction, we are fortunate to not only have several universities and colleges with excellent biologists, but also Wild Birds Unlimited (2454 Highway 6&50, Grand Junction), a store which not only teaches how to enjoy songbirds, but can outfit you with all the equipment you will require. Their experts are happy to simply provide you with what you need, but if asked will take the time to educate you, as well.<br />
<br />
Birdsong is good to hear, not just at lunch. Which is why Wild Birds Unlimited also donates seed and equipment to area nursing homes, and helps the community in other ways. <br />
<br />
Feeding the birds may begin by desiring to simply hear them sing. But soon you can discover the importance of supporting these wild creatures against the destruction of their habitats, and by understanding how they rely on the environment you share, you quickly grasp the wider implications of the way you interface with your own environment. Even by the choices you make for your own lunch.Loka Hatha Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08457368148151765625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821918068321058839.post-35536350487202733022017-05-02T13:08:00.000-07:002017-05-02T13:08:23.603-07:00Roasted veggies are an everyday treat!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hunger is sometimes surprising – think ahead to when you’ll be hungry. Pack a lunch, and don’t forget snacks – like this healthy snack and dessert. Loaded w protein, GF and vegan. All you do is food process: nuts, seeds, GF oats, dried fruit, bind it together w some maple syrup and molasses. Then make balls and roll it in coconut flakes. I just used what I had in the house and they came out great.

Spicy tofu rolls, vegan, GF, it is easy to make different rolls for different dietary needs. Here we have an anti inflammatory roll and a low fodmap roll. For extra bite I made a spicy vegan mayo sauce for inside the roll. It's also nice to have extra tofu for a quick lunch or two.
Preparing ingredients means quick assembly later: the same tofu can be used in sushi, sandwiches, salads, or anything else! And chopped vegetables are always useful, too. Just as preparing a week's meals at once saves time overall, so does preparing ingredients in batches. Think of them as toppings - but inside!

If you are a new or inexperienced cook, there are plenty of "cheats." Daiya Pizzas are gluten free and vegan - and present opportunity to practice cutting ingredients, and assembling them.

Quick dinner on your mind? Vegan, GF tostadas are yummy. Can of beans, tostada shells and your favorite toppings, these have: avocado, tomato, sautéed mushrooms, vegan cheese, and some peperoncini. Under 20 min based on what you top it, with always a hit.
It is sometimes too easy to fall into the trap of thinking what is not gluten free, or not vegan or vegetarian. But most ingredients are. It is also easy to fall into the trap of thinking most meals take too long to prepare.

Lunch! Open faced GF cucumber sandwich w vegan mayo and spices, easily made w whatever you have around.
Sandwiches are easy with gluten free bread - this one, a vegan vegetable sandwich, can be made with whatever is handy. But the combination of sweet vegetables, creamy vegan mayo, and salty spicy pickled peppers with smoked paprika and black pepper is worth repetition :) Gluten free bread can be found at many supermarkets, or can be baked at home.

Great day for a hike and the perfect hiking food is pasta salad. GF pasta, baked tofu, spinach, dikon radish, garbanzos, roasted red pepper, and a creamy Dijon dressing....good stuff!
Packing a gluten free and vegan meal to work (or on a hike) is easy and quick - and more affordable and nutritious - than eating out! And, if you can take an hour out of your weekend, you can even cook a week's worth of meals at once, pack them in individual containers, and have them ready in the refrigerator!

Ahara, food or nutriment, is of four kinds: 1. ordinary material food (kabalinkarahara); 2. contact (of sense organs with sense objects, phassahara); 3. consciousness (viññanahara); and 4. mental volition (manasañcetanahara) (Samyutta Nikaya 12.63). <br />
