Watching Miranda, skirt flowing in the breeze, singing at the top of her lungs and loving every minute of the ride. Then there was Gigi, seeing just how fast her little bike could go. I sat there and just soaked it in, breathing in the morning air and taking time to be grateful for these simple yet profound moments. Over the last few months we as a family have tried to experience life as it was meant to be lived. Simple, not rushed, not filled with to do lists or expectations of others but truly learning to be. Life is still busy but it is busy with intentionality and purpose. I was reading a book about our thought life where the author made such a profound point. He stressed that the things we thought about yesterday are realities in our life today. So in keeping with this theory the things we think about today will be our realities for tomorrow. So I was reminded to keep my thought life positive, keep it real, keep it intentional. With that said, anyone who knows me well, knows that I think about food a lot so I thought I'd share one of my latest yummies! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We make this recipe weekly. It keeps until the next day and is great to take on picnics or to put in wraps for a delicious lunch. I love to watch my little kiddos eat this salad because they gobble it up and inevitably there are tiny strands of broccoli protruding from their mouths. They just giggle and eat it up. Raw broccoli is so good for you and it warms my heart when I can combine nourishment with the yum factor.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My daughter created this profound visual reminder of how we can live our lives in the moment. We have been discussing the ease at which we tend to focus on the past or the future in our thought life. We conclude... that it is beneficial not only to ourselves but also to those who "do life" with us to BE in the moment. Some situations are simply about putting one foot in front of the other. Being mindful to not look at the path we have already paved and not looking ahead at the paths that our imaginations can drum up.</span>Amy Shinglerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15198198160301838134noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681608717653572268.post-58257282288588530232013-10-30T11:11:00.001-07:002013-10-30T11:11:26.249-07:00Beans, Beans, the Fountain of Youth!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Almost every Sunday or Monday I make a huge pot of beans in my crock pot. I add pinto, black, white or adzuki beans and then fill the crock pot with water until there is about 1-2 inches of water over the beans. I cook them all day on low (or if I had a crazy morning I will set it on high for 4-6 hours). After that point, I will add them to a recipe. Or my favorite thing to do is add 1-TBSP minced garlic and some sea salt to taste and blend it up in my cuisinart until it is "refried". Sometimes I add a little water to make it the right consistency. YUMMY! My family will use this big mother load batch all week for nutritious snacks and lunches using whole grain wraps or corn tortillas. Click on the link below to watch this short clip about the benefits of eating beans on a daily basis. It is informative. <a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/increased-lifespan-from-beans/#.UnFI51wSZrc.blogger">Increased Lifespan From Beans | NutritionFacts.org</a></span>Amy Shinglerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15198198160301838134noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681608717653572268.post-84009307277250243252013-10-05T23:06:00.000-07:002013-10-05T23:06:05.068-07:00state of grace<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We buy a crazy amount of bananas for our household. The checkers at the grocery store usually have some cute comment to say like, "Are you guys monkeys?" Well, this week I had a few extras that went uneaten and I decided it was time to try a new banana bread recipe. I tried this one because it had a minor amount of oil and sugar. Plus, it was made with oatmeal instead of the typical whole wheat flour I usually use. It came out delicious and I thought I would pass it on. The first time I made this I was skeptical that the recipe only called for 1 Tbsp of oil per loaf so I added 2 Tbsp per loaf. It was delicious. So, today I wanted to see if 1 Tbsp per loaf would work and yes sirree it sure did! After I made it, my kiddos swarmed and devoured the loaf. I must say, right out of the oven it is super yum! </span><br />

This is one of my favorite videos I watch at the gym in the morning. It is sort of a theme song for me lately. I believe we all need to practice and therefore live by truth telling with an emphasis on love and vulnerability. Sometimes that takes bravery, well it <i><b>does</b></i> take bravery . I love the lyric that says, "say what you want to say... let the words fall out." I hope this inspires you and brings a smile to your face.Amy Shinglerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15198198160301838134noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681608717653572268.post-45149016243333295962013-06-17T08:52:00.000-07:002013-06-17T08:52:36.518-07:00healthy summer watermelon salsa<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #737373; font-family: 'Century Gothic', AppleGothic, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have read this book recently and it has made me really think. Bob Goff has a way of making you laugh one minute and then profoundly reflect on your own life the next. It is one of those books I lean over and nudge my hubby and tell him, "You gotta read this..." It is a book that screams "love in action, not just words!" He is a lawyer who has a sense of humor that is contagious and a depth of insight. His book has inspired some new thoughts and renewed some dusty ones for myself and my family. My library had it, but the cool part is if you purchase it, all the proceeds go to Restore International. This is Bob Goff's amazing organization that is actively pursuing justice for the underdogs in Uganda and India, and really around the world. This is a great read!</span><br />

Why? you ask. Because I made THE MOST DIVINE BUCKWHEAT CRUNCHIES EVER! Then I whipped up a quick batch of homemade awesomeness (yes, its a word, I have a 6 year old), otherwise known as granola goodness. I think I have downed about a cup of this raw mixture before it was ever put into the oven. Here is the recipe for the crunchies (one of these days I will share the granola goodness recipe with you, but a lady must keep a few things mysterious...)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dry ingredients:</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN1ARBTZtBIkWxOghXMtv5-DiHVqnWal5JWTiERVbe0cPgMsNCd1cv_T98dcLLnTRorpJZgcMdIkJmnG3LBZufGa7OCa0zMF2ChcAnuQ6_e5tsx5xqH0yRdsQ_Xr_DMfDJajv2LJuZM8XL/s1600/IMG_0180.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN1ARBTZtBIkWxOghXMtv5-DiHVqnWal5JWTiERVbe0cPgMsNCd1cv_T98dcLLnTRorpJZgcMdIkJmnG3LBZufGa7OCa0zMF2ChcAnuQ6_e5tsx5xqH0yRdsQ_Xr_DMfDJajv2LJuZM8XL/s320/IMG_0180.JPG" width="236" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups of raw buckwheat groats</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/4 cup date sugar (or coconut sugar)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 tsp cinnamon</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 tsp salt (optional)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wet ingredients:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 TBSP applesauce</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/4 cup coconut nectar syrup (or brown rice syrup)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 tsp vanilla extract</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 TBSP Peanut butter (or almond, cashew, etc.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 300 degrees.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mix wet ingredients on a large bowl. Mix wet ingredients in smaller bowl. Add wet ingredients to the dry ones, combine. Spread them out on a cookie sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes. Flip the granola as best as you can (there must be an art to this that I haven't quite figured out). Bake another 15 minutes. Make sure not to burn your crunchies, among other things...it is never good to burn. When you pull them out, place them out to harden up and cool completely. Then enjoy. Just make sure you don't have a buckwheat groat between your teeth when you go run your errands. Smiles! By the way, I obviously love these to snack on, I top my salads with them and when I do have yogurt these are usually on top. Also, it will make your house smell all full of baking goodness only without the sugar crashes.</span><br />

Wash, dry and chop the kale into bite-size pieces and place in a large salad bowl. Add cabbage mix and incorporate with kale. Set aside.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" /></div>

The Dressing: Combine vinegar, oil, brown sugar, garlic, Bragg Liquid Aminos or soy sauce and Housin Sauce in a sauté pan. Simmer the mixture over moderate heat for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately pour the warm mixture over the kale slaw; mix well to thoroughly coat all of the leaves with the dressing. Allow the kale slaw to sit for 10 minutes or more before serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.</div>

Survey Says: My family licked the bowl clean. There isn't many kale dishes that my family has this reaction to. This is definitely a family favorite. It is great to pack for lunches the next day...IF there are any leftovers.</div>
