I usually pick my apples from the tree and hopefully most of the time they are organic.   Then I core them, cook them on the stove for about half an hour.   Let them cool a bit and blend them up before I can it in jars or eat it fresh.  <\/p>\n<p>Desserts<\/p>\n<p>No Bake Cookies<\/p>\n<p>   I made these with the kids the other night and loved them<br \/>\nBlueberry Flax Cookies<br \/>\nheat in a double boiler or temperature controlled pan \u00bc cup Coconut oil, \u00bc cup peanut butter, and \u00bc cup cocoa powder or carob powder.<br \/>\nAfter these are mixed together and warm add 1 teaspoon honey, or \u00bc teaspoon stevia, or 1 teaspoon molasses.<br \/>\nThen mix in 1 cup of Oats, \u00bd cup of flax, \u00bc cup mixed nuts, \u00bc cup sunflower or sesame seeds.<br \/>\nThe mixture will be runny, so spoon it out into a cookie sheet.   Add fresh or frozen blueberries liberally to the top.  Then place it in the freezer for a few minutes.    Makes about 8 medium size cookies.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/giftsthatliftus.com\/index.php\/sample-page\/the-gift-of-chocolates-class\/\">Healthy Chocolates Class<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Main  Dish Meals<\/p>\n<p>Salsa and Chips<br \/>\nI have taken to blending many of my ingredients for this because it is faster.   You can blend parts or all of the ingredients.   I usually use two pitchers full to make this.<br \/>\nYou can use any of your favorite chips.   I love Lukes Organic chips with seeds in them.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/305282452\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl dice and combine 4 cloves garlic, 1 medium onion, 1 large bunch cilantro, 4 Cups of Cabbage, 4 cups of Tomatoes, 2 Tablespoons fresh Lime juice, 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice.   I also sometimes add red bell peppers to mine.  If you like some heat in your you can add hot peppers.<\/p>\n<p>Steamed Veggies<br \/>\n    This is really easy cup up 2 to 3 cups of your favorite veggies and put them in your steamer until tender.   It will very depending on the kind of veggies.   Check it once in a while and see if it is done.   Mine usually takes about 30 minutes.    <\/p>\n<p>Steaming rice is also really easy<br \/>\nI soak my rice over night in filtered water.  Then I rinse it and put it in the steamer with more water.   Brown rice takes about 1 hour in my steamer and white about 30 minutes.   <\/p>\n<p>Noodles<br \/>\nI love pasta!<br \/>\nMung bean noodles are something I discovered a while ago.  They cook really fast about 2 minutes or you can just poor boiling water over them.   They add a huge amount of hearty to recipes, much more filling than regular noodles.<\/p>\n<p>There are all kinds of pasta today so choices are multiple.   You can get organic, non GMO, gluten free, or you can make your own.<\/p>\n<p>There are sweet potato noodles that work really well with green beans.
