Will You Help Me Be Better?

"We get Results in Accordance with the Real Values we Give"

And value is what I want to give you, but while I can say with hand on heart that after 25 years of being in the natural health & beauty industry, I have leart that every one of  you is unique and individual. This means that each of you will be more interested in some of the articles that I write than others. I am hoping you will help me understand what those interests are in order to help me serve you better, but also to avoid myself spending too much time writing and posting less than interesting information.

NOTE

As each article I write or recipe I post, takes a lot time to organise and get out to you, I need YOU to tell me what YOU would like me to be writing more about. There is no point in me pouring my guts down on paper if it is not something that you want to hear so it is my intention to focus a lot more on what you want to hear and not only what I want to write about.

Personally, I know what works for me when it comes to feeling good, colours that work for me, the people I like to be surrounded with, styles that support me well, foods that give me energy, help me sleep well and keep me healthy but what about you?

Tasty Turmeric Veggies with Millet

Hello fellow yummy, healthy foodies,

It's been too long since I posted a recipe or indeed wrote my blog, but I hope the attached will go some way towards letting you know how sorry I am. It's been all go here getting my book ready for publication and it really is taking up oodles of time. But, things are beginning to calm down now, so it will be all systems go with my blog over the coming months and I am really looking forward to sharing what I know with all of you.

While this millet and veggie recipe wouldn't win any prizes in Master Chef, is still delicious, incredibly good for you because it's sooo alkalising and easy peasy to make which I think more than makes up for the lack of creativity.

Change the veggies around to ones that work for you if these don't float your boat. You can add chicken if you are that way inclined but I think it would be great if you could leave it out and see how you get on without it. How about making it your veggie meal of the week? Just a thought!
I love it and I hope you do too!

Well, here it is...

Turmeric Tasty Veggies with Millet (serves 2 and a bit for the pot!)
3 cups water
1 cup of millet
1 Tbs coconut oil (it won't taste of coconut, don't worry)
1/2 an onion, diced
Handful of peas
1/4 squash (optional)
3/4 tsp good quality sea salt, Himalayan or Celtic
1/2 Tbs ground cumin
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 pepper (I like red), but yellow is good too
1 cup broccoli florets

To make
If you soak the millet over night, it will be much easier to digest and will be easier for your body to extract the available nutrients within.

Add the soaked millet to a pan of boiling water and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside. In a pan heat the coconut oil and add the onions.  Cook for a few minutes until they are a translucent quality. Then add salt and your spices. Cook for several minutes. Finally add all the vegetables except the peas which will be added later. Cook for about 8 minutes. Add peas and cook for a further 3 to 4 minutes. Finally, add the cooked millet to the pan and stir everything together. If you would like to add more spices, you can add to adjust the flavouring to suit your taste buds. That's it!

This dish can be served with a nice green salad if you find you would like something on the side.

As always, I'd love to know what you think!

Get the Glow,

Ruth.
