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.

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....

Where is the balance?

Everyday I wake up with big plans of getting some exercise, making some jewelry, Christmas decorations and cards and somehow it is now just before Christmas and I have not gotten in any better shape and have only made one pair of earrings this year....Where is the balance? How do I stop everyday life from stopping me.  By the time I get home from work, make dinner and do all the things I have to do which now also include a college course and a volunteer position I have no time for the things I set out to do at the beginning of the year.  I do not know where I could possibly squeeze in another hour or so....I am already exhausted.  I had mistakenly thought that when I sold my house and no longer had that maintenance to look after I would have more time...nope not so.  Okay so I got a job that I only work 35 hours a week and get off at 2:30 on Fridays and I could use that time....nope....now it just gets used for errands most times.... I keep asking myself this q...
