TO A LIFE of JOY & PEACE
Each day, sit quietly for a moment, and ASK God to BE WITH YOU, to help you to LET GO of the PAST & to be made NEW in Him.

You will go forward with more peace & direction, love will grow within you & you will begin to share God's love wherever you go. Even if your circumstances remain difficult, YOU WILL BE STRONGER & have more PEACE, GUIDANCE & JOY, with GOD AT YOUR SIDE!
OPEN your EYES
And NOTICE the BLESSINGS of GOD’s LOVE in YOUR LIFE!

Recipe for my PURPLE SOUP
Created by Jackie Messenger ©2010
All Rights Reserved
3 cans of beef broth
2 large Okinawan Potatoes (Secret Purple ingredient)
2 large onions
1 bunch of garlic
ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon Salt
If possible, cook with a pressure cooker for 5 minutes
Or if you plan to cook in a traditional pot, heat to a boil, then turn down the heat to a low simmer, and cook for 30 minutes.
... by the way, THE PRESSURE COOKER I used can be purchased at QVC. The link is below:
qvc.com
Just search for pressure cookers.
I'm sure they are all good.
The one I bought is called Technique by Cooks Essentials.
It is the Electric 6.25 QT Pressure Cooker w/ removable pot. Model 99765
2010 price $87.96 plus shipping. (...but so worth it, to make fast healthy soup, chili, stews, and so much more!) ...by the way, I am not connected to QVC in any way, but I do recommend this pressure cooker for anyone who's looking to buy a good one.

What I Eat In a Day and Why
Having been asked many times what I eat in a day, I decided to show you a typical day.
BREAKFAST: We usually have oats, even when we travel. Recently, inspired by Ann's Oats in Be a Plant-Based Woman Warrior, I've switched to savory oats which is like a stew of oats (for me, oat groats), soy milk, mixed baby greens, shitaki mushrooms, and lots of savory flavors like ginger, sriracha, and turmeric. For years I was in accord with my husband's breakfast of rolled oats (always organic and, for me, gluten free), soy milk, bananas, mixed berries, and sliced almonds. In both cases, always, 2 tablespoons of flax meal (actually, I mix 2/3 flax seed and 1/3 chia, grind them together and store a bit in the refrigerator with the tablespoon in the jar, and the rest in the freezer).
LUNCH: When at home nearly always a huge chopped salad, weighing between 1 and 1 1/2 lbs. The video represents the greens, vegetables and fruit (peaches, apples, pineapple, etc), and I also add a legume like chickpeas or dry roasted edamame, and sometimes a whole grain, like quinoa (actually a seed:-), or wild rice, or whatever I have in the refrigerator. My salad is dressed with an oil free dressing that I make. My newest is Nan's House Dressing (on my website nansimonsen.com & YouTube)
My husband's lunch at home is also the same daily--avocado sandwich, a small salad, air-fried smashed potatoes, crudites, hummus, and fruit.
DINNER: Often something from the freezer like a soup, chili, Thai curry, bean ragout, often topped with a grain like brown rice. Or tostadas formed on baked corn chips and a mass of health toppings, including chopped avocado and my vegan sour cream (see website under misc.). We love my Creamy Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes with a pile of dry sauted mushrooms, also on my site. In other words, we eat a meal that I can throw together from leftovers and that gives me leftovers. At times, especially if we have had a large lunch, we will have a big bowl of mixed fruit, plant yogurt, and a whole grain, sugar and oil free muffin (see my website & YouTube).
Our aim is to always eat whole food plant-based. I do not use processed vegan foods--the manufacturers are making them with as much junk in them as what we are trying to avoid in the standard American Diet, which is 65% processed.
DINNING OUT: We stick to trusted places like Chipotle where we pile on the greens, beans, frajitas, sofritas, pico de gallo, corn, and salsa. We also have a selection of other places where we can fine primarily food as grown, prepared with no, or little oil, salt or sugar.
We seldom snack between meals because our fiber and nutrition- rich meals keep us satisfied and full from one to the next. And, when we finish our last meal of the day, usually by 6:30 PM or earlier, we eat nothing else until breakfast. For me, that is 14 hours later. That is called time restricted eating, and is excellent for our health on a number of levels, not the least is that there is not night -snacking which is terrible for our system.
I will conclude by saying that WE LOVE OUR WHOLE FOOD PLANT-BASED way of eating, and have been blessed during these past 4 years by it with stellar health, although we are both in our seventies!
