January Cookbook: Oh She Glows....Angela Liddon

 

Oh She Glows by Angela Liddon is this months cookbook author.  She has numerous recipes online.  Her cookbooks are paleo recipes. I have The Oh She Glows Cookbook, Oh She Glows for Dinner and Oh She Glows Everyday.  You are welcome to use any recipe you like and leave a comment or photo for inspiration.

The first of my bookmarks was Soul-southing African Stew.  I was missing a few items and my pantry was short on a couple so I did make adjustments to taste but followed the recipe reasonably closely.  I try to cook with fresh, local and organic ingedients when possible.  I am very fortunate to have fresh organic peanuts growing about 1/2 hour from me.  The limes grow on my tree, the spinach vine on my wall, culantro in my herb garden.  There have been some very nice tomatoes in the market so I used fresh here and not canned.  Overall this was delicious and I will make it again.  This one is not online but the next one will be Sunday at Cocinar Conmigo....an anti-inflammtory eating workshop. Come back and check out the pics and reviews or join the workshop in person.


As promised recipe #2 Summer Harvest Tortilla Soup.  This one can be found at Oh She Glows.  It was delicious and I would definitely make it again.  I did skip the chia seeds.  The workshop was great and everyone had a great time.  Stay Tuned for more recipes and reviews this month.

Week 2: Monday-Thursday

Day 5:  NO spending day.  It was a quiet Monday. Day 6:  I spent approx $6.00 to fill a prescription. I should probably update you on another goal I had for this year.  I have been trying to make it to the gym twice a week since January.  It doesn't seem like a big goal but some weeks it is tough. Truthfully I haven't made it even once in the last  two weeks but I got back on track today with a bootcamp class at the YMCA I go to.  Although I am not noticing much difference in my weight or how I look I have noticed a substantial difference in how I feel......GREAT!  I am also hoping it will translate into an improved softball season. I may never be in the shape I was at 20 again but I can certainly try and be closer than I am now. Today was also lunch date day.....my coworker brought pulled pork sandwiches with carrot stick and cherry tomatoes.  She also made chocolate peanut butter squares....ummm delicious.  I will have to get that ...

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....
