Happy and Healthy New Year!!!
2014 was such a crazy year, I am glad it is over! The hard times have thought me a lot about resilience and perseverance.

I also learned (once again) that we do not not have total control of our lives. So when our plans are forced to be changed in the middle of our paths,the best thing to do is letting go and accepting it. Letting go of the anger that comes with it. And instead, trying to see the lesson it also brought to my life. I am thankful for that.

My biggest lesson of last year was:        🙏Balance🙏

Lesson learned after two major exercise related injuries and one ACL Reconstruction Surgery.
But I am thankful for them, because on my healing journey I drastically changed my diet and I am a healthier and happier person because of that.

So, I started my year with a smoothie of beautiful Homemade Cashew milk+Dates+Kale+Bee Pollen+Maca Powder+Frozen Bananas.

Welcome 20015! Let’s make it count!

Quick and Easy Refrigerator Pickled Cucumbers

21 Dec

IMG_0021.JPG

I am completely obsessed with vinegars, and anything pickled or fermented. Seriously. I am always trying out new recipes for flavored vinegars, and pickled food-things.

This is a super quick and easy recipe that I always have on my fridge and make a lot for my clients on a Raw Food Diet.

You can use the same recipe with radishes and turnips.Try experimenting with different herbs and vinegars. My favorite variation is omitting the herbs, and adding some Siracha Hot Sauce,regular and black sesame seeds, and toasted sesame seed oil. Yum!

It is a nice addition to salads, sandwiches, or to just eat it straight out of the bowl. I always have it on my fridge and it lasts for a week if kept refrigerated.

Ingredients

5 Small Organic Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
1/4 cup Seasoned Rice Vinegar
1 TBSP brown sugar (you can substitute for maple syrup, Demerara sugar or any sugar you prefer)
1 tsp Himalayan Salt
1 TBSP organic Italian parsley, chopped
1 TBSP organic mint, chopped

Method

Mix all ingredients in a container and stir. Close the container with a lid or use film to wrap it closed. refrigerated it for minimum 4 hours. It will taste much better after 24 to 48 hours, when all flavors have married.

Enjoy! Bom Apetite!
