V African Peanut Stew with Onion Rice

Tuesday, February 23, 2016
                                Prep time: 40 minutes      Serves: 4

Ingredients:
Smooth Organic Peanut Butter
1 head of Any Type of Cabbage or Tough Cooking Greens (the more the better)
1 Garlic
2 Onions
2 Cups Brown Rice
Turmeric Power
Cayenne Pepper
Sea Salt
1 Tbsp Honey

Please note: Traditionally you use collard greens or tough cabbage greens in this recipe, I usually use cauliflower leaves, celery leaves, Brussel sprout leaves and any excess green leaves on my other food, that I don't want to just throw away.

Good for bulking up because it's a high protein dish

Peanut Stew

  1. Wash and prepare your greens by soaking and rinsing them in warm water.
  2. Chop your garlic, 1/2 onion and greens.
  3. Heat a stewing pan, with 2 tbsps of coconut oil on high heat.
  4. Keep stirring until all leaves are softened and wilted.
  5. Add a very light sprinkling of turmeric, cayenne powder and sea salt and turn down to medium heat.
  6. Mix 5 tbsps of smooth peanut butter in 1 cup of water until dissolved.
  7. Add this to your cabbage and add 1 tbsp of honey. Simmer with lid for 15 minutes. 
  8. Start cooking your rice.
  9. Once 15 minutes have passed your stew should be thickened and creamy. If not had more peanut butter and water.
  10. Once your peanut stew is cooked the greens will be soft and wilted. Add salt as desired.

Onion Rice
  1. Heat a pan on high heat with 2 tbsps of coconut oil and chop 1 1/2 onions to fry until soften in the pan.
  2. Add 2 cups of brown rice plus sea salt as desired and stir until rice is shiny.(Keep stirring otherwise it will burn)
  3. Add 5 cups of water and cook on high heat for 8 minutes with a lid.
  4. When 8 minutes have passed turn it down to low to medium heat and check every 15 minutes until all the water has dissolved and the rice grains are cooked.
  5. If the rice is not cooked add more water.
Enjoy!

    How To Deal With Lies And Deceit

    Friday, February 12, 2016

    Leave it in g-ds capable hands, to deal with those who have committed defamation against you
    Leave it in g-ds capable hands, to deal with those who have distorted the truth
    Leave it in g-ds capable hands, to deal with those that have made to watch you suffer
    Leave it in g-ds capable hands those that have meant harm and evil against you
    Leave it in g-ds capable hands to deal with those who have sinned against you

    Definition: Deceit
    The action or practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth.

    Definition: Lie
    To give an intentionally false statement.

    The longer the karma takes, the worse it will be. I have chosen my battles wisely; I have watched and waited, I have analysed and observed and most importantly I have been sure not to interfere with workings of the universe. Knowing that everything I am suffering is for good reason. Your energy is currency and weaker spirits will drain you of yours to refill their cup. Weak, depleted souls will actively search for worthy candidates to drain. 

    Nevertheless, these are the warning signs. It's good to have a standard rule for everyone who comes and goes in life. I believe that energy is currency. It is the only true currency we have here on earth, when your energy is depleted you can no longer do anything or give anymore. I read somewhere that a life of lies and deceit is only an attack to you depending on how to choose to react to it. Deceit against you does not have to be about you depending our your actions towards it, you can take the viewpoint that the wrongdoer actually betrayed themselves, by betraying their own integrity. But ideally, this would depend on how strongly you believe in integrity and how important it is to you in your life. Which it should be if this person has deceived you in a way you would never do to them in return. 

    HOW TO DEAL WITH IT

    We must protect our energy, I have very strong and potent energy, I generate high energy from my emotions as we all do. My flat rule is that I only give what I get, I am very weary of other people, I take the time to listen and watch people before I interact with them, I feel the aura and the energy behind the words they say. I only give whatever I get, if I get 20% from you then you get exactly the same back if I get 60% its the same vice versa.

    DISCERNMENT

    Definition: Discernment The ability to judge well.
    Knowing how to decide and make the right decisions is important. Its largely based on how a person makes you feel. If you immediately feel uncomfortable you know that something is wrong, if you feel nervous or scared you know something is not right, if you feel happy and safe then naturally you loosen up.Be on your guard, you must watch what people say and do when you are not around, you must truly listen to their words even in jest.

    CONSTANT AWARENESS

    Controlling and observing your own emotions is an essential part of doing this, you cannot properly feel the energy of others if you are easily offended or unconscious of how certain energies make you react. Some people are naturally more sensitive to energy than others, you must work on yourself and be in balance, to be able to properly tell when someone else is out of balance.
    Keep in mind that no one is perfect. Most people are imbalanced but they still mean well, we are all flawed. Being able to sit back and observe that without any feelings towards it is an achievement in itself.
    Above all don't act on lies and deceit, don't let lies and deceit cripple you. Protect your loving heart and behave accordingly. Those that harmed you, risk losing you. They have betrayed themselves and their own core values. This alone is like punishment. For that reason alone it is and will always be their loss and not yours. You only add value to the lives of  the people you encounter, you are pure and eternal potential all bundled into one body. 
    Carry on with your life, heal your wounds, show the world how you've blossomed and flourished, remember the truth will always prevail and the guilty will be made to eat their words in the future.
    Thank me later
