Toasted Coconut Squash Pie - Grain-Free, Essential Oil Infused

2011-11-21T09:43:00.001-08:00

Recipe From "Essential Gluten-Free Recipes"

by Tara Rayburn & Mary Vars

Ingredients:

1 large butternut or 1 acorn and 1 kobucha squash

1-2 farm fresh eggs

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup coconut or rice milk or farm fresh milk

2 Tbsp of raw honey or maple syrup

1/4 tsp cinnamon or 1 drop of cinnamon bark essential oil

1/8 tsp nutmeg or 1 drop of nutmeg essential oil

1 drop or hint of clove essential oil

Dash of sea salt

1-2 Tbsp of shredded coconut

Use coconut or palm oil to grease pans

Directions:

• Cut squash in half and seed.

• Bake squash on greased glass pan or stainless steel sheet for 30-45 minutes until

soft.

• Then puree

• Combine all ingredients except shredded coconut. Mix and pour into greased

glass pie pan.

• Sprinkle shredded coconut on top. You can sprinkle some on the bottom before

pouring for a nice crust texture.

• Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees until slightly browned.

Tips & Tricks:

Although it is similar to pumpkin pie, it is far less sweet. Calling it pie and serving it with

the meal makes it a fun veggie side.

You can use recipe for quiche crust if you desire to have a piecrust.

Whip canned coconut cream with vanilla and maple syrup for sweeter dessert.

Join Us for Energy Surges on Chi-To-Be! Radio

2011-10-17T23:03:00.001-07:00

Chi-To-Be! Radio - Weds. October 19th 9am to 9:30 (Pacific Time) http://tinyurl.com/3l95252

Many people ask me "how I do it all?" and why do they feel so much overwhelm.

In full disclosure, I don't do it all... It's an impossible task to "do it all!" Constantly attempting to do it all about made me crazy, as well as everyone around me. And yes, overwhelm was my default for years. I'm happy say there is another way of living, and living fully.

I can share with you is that after much prayer about managing life, I received an amazing opportunity over the last year to experience "energy surges" through my friend Stacey Hall's coaching program called Chi-To-Be!

Also in the spirit of disclosure, I do still hit overwhelm, however the difference is now I have tools, and an accountability partner to get myself back up and going in a sustainable way. Because of this experience, I also have a more mature and focused relationship with God, with whom all things are possible!

Last year, during the busiest part of the year "holiday season" Stacey invited me to join a group she was coaching and has since called the "Chi Masters." The process of decision-making she guided me through, and the large amount of catch up I did were are all a testimony to God for prayers answered, and the Chi-To-Be! Energy Surges Stacey shared with us. This process was attracted, became a book, CD Series and workbook in less than a year! Stacey Hall along with Life Science Publishing and all of the Chi-To-Be! Masters share our journey, process and energy surges with others in this movement via book and other the materials available, as well as the creation of Chi-Circles around the globe, Facebook groups, LinkedIn and ongoing radio shows, interviews and experiences.

I would also like to share that in this same year, by using the Chi-To-Be! energy surges and coaching with Stacey I've learned to align my life's purpose and passion (B-All) with my goals to attract Life Science Publishing and get published my new book with co-author Mary Vars, Essential Gluten-Free Recipes. I continue to strengthen and mature in my faith on all time new levels and have done this while being a loving, grounded wife and mother (well at least most of the time ;-)

If you would like to get some new tools in life's toolbox for creating the life you want then please join us Live this Weds (Oct. 19th) for Chi-To-Be! radio from 9am to 9:30 (Pacific Time).

This episode will be recorded so you can listen and share the link later : http://tinyurl.com/3l95252

Thank you Stacey Hall and my fellow Chi-To-Be! Masters

Grass-Fed Beef Jerky with Essential Oils

2011-09-05T12:39:00.000-07:00

Summer in the desert of Las Vegas tends to make my kids
want to eat very little. Day trips and outings make packing
healthy snacks a bit challenging sometimes. Getting protein
in them becomes tricky. On a counterintuitive whim, I decided
to pull out my trusty dehydrator this weekend
and make some beef jerky with a twist.

Results were in: My family said is was the best jerky I'd made yet.
Because it is served room temperature, it doesn't feel like a
heavy snack to them. It also requires good chewing for good
digestion.

***TIP: Be sure not to eat too much at one time even though
it might be tempting and drink plenty of water.

***Allergy Alert: Many people do not realize that most

jerky is made with both wheat flour and soy. If you are

avoiding those then this is a great recipe for you.

Here is the recipe for you to try. Have fun and play with your
own combinations!

Grass-Fed Jerky with Essential Oils

Ingredients:
One Organic Grass-Fed Beef London Broil or Bison Sirloin tip
(the key is for it too be very lean so the jerky lasts longer)

Dried Herbs: Cumin, Black Pepper, Oregano & Sea Salt
(about a teaspoon of each)

Young Living Basil and Oregano Essential Oil
(Use Food grade/Therapeutic grade for consumption only)

Equipment:
Good knife
cutting board
Dehydrator or an oven that is able to use a very low heat (145 degrees)

Directions:

1) Have the butcher slice the roast evenly. Tell them you are
making jerky with it. They usually slice it across the grain,
which gives you big thin slabs to take home.

2) Combine herbs & salt in a bowl. This creates your dry rub.

3) Combine 2 drops of Oregano essential oil and two drops of
Basil essential oil in your hand and evenly massage into both sides
of each of the slabs of meat.

4) Take your dry rub and lightly and evenly spread across the meat
on both sides. LESS is MORE. Don't overdo this spicing or it becomes
too overwhelming when it is done.

5) Now slice it into strips - long or short - your preference. I like
to do both long thin slices (3"x 1/2") and shorter wider slices
(1- 1 1/2" x 2"). I find people have preferences which size they
prefer.

6) Place strips in dehydrator with plenty of space between each piece.
Set temperature to the range indicated on your dehydrator or the
lowest temperature your oven will go. Above 125 degrees begins
to kill enzymes in your food. (there is debate about the exact
temperature, just know the more you go above 150 the greater
chance you have at destroying the enzymes.)

7) Depending on humidity where you live, jerky will be ready in
about 6-8 hours.

8) I like to store mine in glass canning jars. Jerky doesn't
last long in my house so I don't worry about mold forming. If
you live in a more humid environment, or don't eat if very
fast, you may want to store jerky in the fridge.

Happy Jerky Day! Love to hear your own recipes.

Coconut Oil Pulling with an Essential Oil Boost

2011-06-28T06:47:00.000-07:00

So last year at the Weston A. Price
Wise Traditions convention I learned about
"Coconut Oil Pulling." If you are like me you
are saying coconut what?

This is the practice of taking a 1/2 tsp
of coconut oil and swishing it and gargling
with it for about 20 minutes and then
spitting it out. The idea is that it pulls
out micro organisms and toxins out of gums
and sinuses. A deeper look reveals that because
the tongue is "mapped by organ locations...or
connected to various organs" and that toxins
can be pulled out of organs
via the oil wash in the mouth.
(paraphrased from EarthClinic.com)

Here's what I know first hand... I came home from the conference
and decided I'd give it a whirl. I brushed and flossed and then
I grabbed my coconut oil and decided to start swishing. At first
the oil was in solid form and then it quickly turned to warm liquid.
After about 10 minutes something actually
was pulled out of my gums...huh? I had brushed and flossed
how could Ihave missed that?

It turned out to be a flax seed. Here is the problem, I'd not eaten
anything with flax seeds in quite some time. Where had that seed
come from and how long had it been there? If that oil pulled out
something I could see, what was it pulling out that I couldn't see?
Weird.

Since that first night I have been learning and experiencing more
about oil pulling. First I started to ad one drop of Young Living
Essential Oils for even more of a anti-microbial boost. The
Essential oils also seemed to help with overall oral hygiene.

Some of my favorite Essential Oils to add to Coconut oil are:
Oregano (Very strong/not for the faint of heart)
Clove
Basil
Thieves Blend
Thyme
Cinnamon Bark
Di-Gize Blend
Peppermint

Great Coconut Oil sources:
Tropical Traditions
Spectrum
Virgin Oil will have more coconut smell and taste and Refined will be
less "coconut" flavored.

I also was inspired to purchase some X Factor Butter oil from Green
Pastures after reading Sarah Pope's Blog the Healthy Home Economist.
She wrote a piece on healing her child's cavity (Must Read)

Although I did try swishing and spitting that oil, I found it better to
simply consume it and use coconut oil for swishing/spitting.

So I go to my dentist tomorrow to see if my regime is paying off...
I'll keep you posted!

Peace and Be Well,
Tara Rayburn,
the Healthy Habit Coach

Simple Facials with Farm Fresh Goat Milk & Essential Oils

2011-04-25T11:27:00.000-07:00

We do more "gifts" instead of candy in baskets for Easter celebration in our house. My daughter asked for make-up this year. Since she is only 10, the Easter Bunny opted to bring a "make your own" cosmetics gift set instead. This in turned caused me to revisit a wonderful book I purchased at the Wise Traditions Conference last year. This book if full of great hair and body care recipes and is called "Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair" by Herbalist, Dina Falconi.

Here are some of the recipes we tried and loved!

Glowing Honey Face (from Earthly Bodies by Dina Falconi)

1 tsp of local raw honey

5 drops of castor oil

1 squirts of fresh lemon juice

1 drop of Lavender essential oil

Enough for two. Wash face. Pat dry. Apply masque onto face evenly. Allow to dry for 20 minutes.

Then wash face with the Milky Skin Rub

Milky Skin Rub ( from Creative Cosmetics by Thames & Kosmos.

Variations by Seneca & Tara Rayburn)

1 teaspoon of sea salt
2 tablespoons of Farm Fresh Goat Milk
1/4 teaspoon of Coconut Flour

Enough for two. Mix and rub over face and neck. Rinse and pat dry.

Then we rubbed Joy Essential Oil Blend by Young Living onto our faces and moisturized.

For moisture afterwards either use an organic cream or look for more recipes from Dina Falconi's book.

Seneca and I will be teaching at the Wise Traditions Conference this year called "Mythbusters"

Mary Young, Marcella Vonn Harting, and I have endorsed these training materials.

This book contains innovative, very direct, and easy-to-understand ways of getting started. Whether you are looking for ideas for business or just daily living, the suggestions in this book could trigger new thoughts and birth new ideas for 'making it happen.' It’s all up to you.”

--Mary Young, Executive Vice President of Young Living Essential Oils

Because I am a Chi-To-Be! Master, I am able to extend a VIP invitation to you to join Stacey Hall, the creator of the Chi-To-Be! System, on Sunday morning, April 17 for special free workshop to experience and play with the Chi-To-Be! Energy Surges.

I promise you will get at least one fun Chi-Lift as result of participating!

Take a look at your own life and ask yourself, are you where you choose to be? Are you healthy or financially secure or happy in your relationships? Keep asking and you will understand you are where you are today because of the decisions and priorities you choose to focus on.Success leaves clues. The 'Chi-To-Be! System is the blueprint for a successful journey.

-- from the Foreward by Marcella Vonn Harting, YL Crown Diamond

I attracted the Chi-To-Be! Mastery Program™ into my life in the most perfect way and most perfect time. It has truly been an answer to prayers in the most pleasantly unexpected ways. The tips and ‘surges’ cause me to stretch my thinking and “Being” beyond what I had previously thought possible.

What I love most about this Program is that it has a “living” and encompassing nature. This experience inspires growth in ALL aspects of my life. It is like watching a great movie with a wonderful twist or pay-off, only I am IN it…and it is Real.

It is an absolute joy to see my dreams presenting themselves daily as I focus on my B-All™, clarify WHO I AM, and create the goals and means to get there gracefully. I am enjoying a new way of life with my husband, children, friends and community. The blocks I had regarding financial prosperity and the magnitude at which I can make a difference in this world continue to be transformed. It is great to have big goals, but even greater to be empowered with the tools to get there.

Be the leader of your own life and take action by participating with Stacey to learn the Chi-To-Be! strategies. Be Empowered - Be Powerful - Keep Your Eye on Your B-All!

SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM GARY & MARY YOUNG- Young Living

2011-03-14T20:21:00.000-07:00

Dear Young Living Family,

As you have undoubtedly heard, Japan is currently suffering from the effects of a massive earthquake, which in turn created a devastating tsunami. Our thoughts and prayers are with our distributors and employees in Japan as they cope with this catastrophe. While all Young Living employees are accounted for, we have not yet been able to make contact with all of our distributors. My team and I are making every effort to get in touch with these YL family members to check on their safety.

Beyond the immediate impact of this disaster, several nuclear reactors on the eastern coast of Japan have been compromised. Radiation exposure can have devastating health consequences, a fact I learned during my extensive research on the Chernobyl disaster in the 1980s. As happened with Chernobyl, there are concerns that any leaked radiation from one or more Japanese nuclear reactors may be carried by air currents across large portions of the globe.

Japanese authorities are working to repair these reactors and contain the radiation. However, the true extent of these leaks is not yet known, and they could have the potential to affect people in Japan and across the world. Knowing this, we can take prudent precautionary steps to protect ourselves and loved ones from potential radioactive effects.

Mary and I will be taking several steps to

safeguard our home with the powerful

air-purifying and DNA-protecting

properties of Young Living essential oils,

and we recommend that you do the same.

Use a Young Living diffuser, coupled with the following oils, in the rooms of your home over the coming days and weeks. Diffuse a combination of Melrose, Sacred Frankincense, and Purification essential oils. Combine the oils in pairs when diffusing (for example, Melrose with Sacred Frankincense or Sacred Frankincense with Purification). Melrose is a particularly powerful blend because it contains two melaleuca oils that may protect cells from radiation damage, according to Dr. Daniel Penoel in l'aromathÄ-rapie Exactement.
Another sensible precaution is to wear an inexpensive dust mask saturated with the above oils while you are outside or traveling.
A further step Mary and I are taking to protect our environment is burning frankincense resin—an ancient method of purifying the air—throughout our house.

While science has not yet made a demonstrable link between diminished radiation effects and essential oils or resin burning, I believe in doing everything possible to protect my family using natural means.

In addition to the above recommendations, I have created a new kit called QuadShield (#4559). QuadShield (see greenproducts in above box) combines four potent Young Living products: Super C,* Melrose, Longevity, and Thyromin.* These products may have a synergistic, protective effect on your hormonal and immune systems, and I recommend sending this kit to friends and family in Japan, as well as using them personally in your home.

It is not my intention to alarm anyone or cause undue concern over the developing situation in Japan. However, I strongly believe in being proactive and using readily available resources at our disposal to safeguard our health and those we love. I also feel that this recent disaster could be viewed as a wake-up call to all of us about the radiation that surrounds us all the time and the methods that we can use to protect us from it.

The Young Living executive team and I will continue to closely monitor developments in Japan, and we will provide updates and additional information as the picture becomes clearer.

Sincerely,

D. Gary Young
Young Living
President and Founder

Essential Oils and One Dynamic Bearded Dragon

2011-02-12T22:04:00.000-08:00

My daughter has one dynamic bearded dragon in our home named Izzie. She is about 4 years old now loves crickets, greens (the lizard not my daughter.) Although I'd been using essential oils for about 5 years when we got her, I was worried about diffusing too close to her cage. That is until attending last years Young Living Convention. Cherie Ross presented about using Young Living Essential oils with animals. When discussing certain animals who live amongst plants, she made the point, they are in, on and around plants all day in the wild. They would normally get a ton of exposure to naturally occurring essential oils on a daily basis.

It's the current chemicals most of us have in our homes that are toxic to our critters, not essential oils. We've been making most of our cleaning products for about three years now. We use vinegar, essential oils like lemon, geranium, lavender and peppermint for everything from disinfectants to mopping floors.

Izzie, our lizard enjoys Purification blend diffused near her cage and Thieves cleaner used for sanitizing the inside of her cage. We remove her before spraying the Thieves Cleaner as it is still very strong as we are cleaning.

Purification: Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia) lavandin (Lavandula x hybrida), and myrtle (Myrtus communis).

Thieves Cleaner: Proprietary suspension of safe surfactants (wetting agents) and Thieves® essential oil (a proprietary blend of 100% pure Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils of clove [Syzygium aromaticum], lemon [Citrus limon], cinnamon bark [Cinnamomum verum], eucalyptus [E. radiata] and rosemary [Rosmarinus officinalis CT cineol].

Interesting side note on the diffusing of Purification... lizards will often times pick up parasites. Izzie stays parasite free and has a calm and wonderful demeanor.

Always remember, animals are far more sensitive to essential oils... a little goes a long way for our little friends.

Chicken Soup for the Sole ???

2011-02-02T11:33:00.000-08:00

Recently, our Weston A. Price Las Vegas Chapter had a Soup Swap. It was a nice night sharing each other's soups and wonderful recipes. At the end of the evening as we were packing things up, my 7 year old accidentally stepped in a crock pot of steaming hot chicken soup.

It was horrible! He was screaming and crying uncontrollably. I grabbed my essential oils first aid kit and reached for my trustee bottle of lavender... that wasn't there!
The words of Dr. David Stewart rang in my brain... use what you have and use it with the absolute intention of the outcome you want to happen.

So in the dark parking lot I asked my 9 year old daughter what we had. We chose Purification and Sacred Frankincense. We poured them out onto his little red swollen toes and held him closely.

We also poured cold water on his toes and let him soak his toes in a cup of cold water as I drove to our home. Once we got home we stuck his foot in an ice water bucket, but the minute he'd take his foot out, he'd scream in pain. Burn pain is such a different kind of pain to manage-- it will settle then kick in with a throbbing vengeance. He would get close to being able to sleep and BOOM! The pain would kick in. The rest of the family was away that night and it was just the two of us.

Fortunately Michael, my husband was staying with our friends Dr. Pete and Dr. Lolin Hilgartner, who are amazing healers and part of our Young Living team. They offered some additional recommendations for Zach's relief and recovery like putting palm oil and cod liver oil over the burn as well. Although I am not a doctor and cannot tell you what to do, what we did helped my son and so I am sharing it with you.

Here is the protocol we came up with: Keep in mind he is 7.

Layering of these essential oils

* Lavender - for burn

* Marjoram - for healing and relieving the nerve damage

* Sacred Frankincense - for it amazing healing properties
* Purification - antiseptic and it doesn't sting in open wounds

We sealed these oils in with Spectrum Palm Oil and Cod Liver Oil (the CLO REALLY helped pain too)

These are both loaded with vitamins A & D and important in keeping the skin moist to keep it from blistering.

Capsules for Pain and Inflammation

* 3 Drops of Peppermint with 3 drops of Copaiba mixed with olive oil and taken orally

* 1 capsule two hours apart

Water with fresh lemon squeezed and a pinch of salt to keep his electrolytes balanced

1 teaspoon of Fermented Cod Liver orally

Palm Oil orally as he wanted it.

Final powerful piece of the puzzle was prayer. He asked me to pray over and over. He prayed with such conviction and belief it blew me away. To have such intention and faith was a lesson to me.

This is the next morning. Only 2 toes blistered slightly.

After calling my dear friend Carol Shockley for moral support, and all was said and done, I held his little cheek in my hand, and was just present with him. This is when he finally fell asleep. To just "Be" with him sealed the deal.

He finally fell asleep at 2:30am. I slept on the floor next to him the rest of the night.

The Happy Ending: He slept all the way until 10:30 am and was ready to go!

... I on the other hand, a bit tired but appreciative of the power of prayer with intention, the essential oils, my supportive friends and so incredibly grateful that he had absolutely no more pain.

When Holiday Habits Go Haywire there is Di-Gize

2010-11-26T09:49:00.000-08:00

Holidays are great, but they also challenge our eating habits and stress levels. We eat foods we know don't agree with us, or just eat too much of a good thing. Traveling, eating out and sometimes just the stress of maintaining our holiday calendars puts our digestive track into a tailspin.

One of my favorite answers to these challenges is Young Living's Di-Gize essential oil. This blend is a mainstay in our medicine cabinet at home and in our traveling first aid kit.

Ingredients:
Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus)
ginger (Zingiber officinale)
peppermint (Mentha piperita)
juniper (Juniperus osteosperma and J. scopulorum)
fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)
lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus)
anise (Pimpinella anisum)
and patchouli (Pogostemon cablin)

Suggestions for use: For dietary or topical use. Will help with cramping, indigestion, food poisoning, diarrhea, constipation and aiding digestion. Helps with yeast and parasite control. Great to use while traveling abroad.

Put a drop or two under your tongue prior to or during a meal to aid in digestion.
If major upset is present, make a capsule of 5 drops of Di-Gize, then fill the rest of the capsule with olive or castor oil. (5 to 6 drops for adults, 3-4 drops for children 6 and over)
If cramping is present, apply to abdomen, cover with a thing coat of castor oil and place a hot water bottle over the abdomen. NO HEATING PADS they through unbeneficial electric current into the mix.
For constipation, follow directions for capsules and use a suppository for overnight relief.

Remember:
There is No Essential Oil for poor dietary habits. Although we all have challenges over the holidays, shoot for eating nutrient rich foods 80% of the time, and shoot to get right back on course after you falter. Most importantly, find ways to "Stress-Less" over the holidays.

I've been looking for fun replacement beverages since I quit caffeine. At the Young Living Convention this summer they had a "shot" bar. Not your typical shots. This one I could bring my 9 year old daughter, Seneca with me. We Loved It! Lot's of great recipes. What a great sustaining boost to help us get through our long days.

So this morning, before school, my kids and I broke out the shot glasses! Given that we live in Las Vegas now, I'm glad this was their first association with "shots." Mike and I had the Nuclear Explosion and the kids had the Holy Cow. It was a fun, delicious and power packed way to start the day.

I know people count on me to give "Real Advice" about "Real Foods" and not to through sales pitches, but this stuff proves itself to me over and over again.

NingXia Red® is a nutrient-infused wolfberry drink rich in wide-spectrum antioxidants. It has the highest levels of naturally occurring, age-defying S-ORAC activity to help support immune function, cardiovascular health, and nourish the eyes.
