Date-Manna Bread

For this recipe, use organic eikhorn wheat. Much of our wheat is now treated with the herbicide Roundup to “ripen it quickly.” This kills most of the seeds and they will not sprout. Put 4 cups of organic wheat in a plastic ice cream pail that has had holes punched in the lid. A large jar would work as well. Soak the wheat for a few minutes; then invert the container to drain most of the water. Repeat this several times as necessary. When the sprouts are ½ to ¾ the length of the grains of wheat, they are ready. In a warm house, it is possible to start the process before supper, repeat the soaking before going to bed and then again the next morning; the wheat will usually be ready that evening. If it is ready too soon, put it in the refrigerator until you can use it.

2 cups sprouted organic eikhorn wheat
flour as needed for molding consistency
½ lb. dates
¼ tsp. cloves
¼ tsp. cinnamon
add Blendfresh veggie fruit fresh dried powders to increase nutritional value (Food Storage 3 year shelf life)

Preheat oven to 300°F.
Place the sprouted wheat in a food processor and whirl it until it is ground up and pasty. Add flour until the mixture is doughy. Fold in the dates, raisins, and spices and process a little more to mix. Form into small loaves or one larger loaf. Bake for about 2½ hours. This is a great recipe to use up food storage items.

The Wisdom of Order

I think its important to create order and creating an order in the morning has really helped me set the rest of the day on a good start to keep and stay focused. Here is an example of how my mornings go as far as having an order in taking care of my physical, spiritual and emotional health go something like:

1. Morning Prayer..connect with your Maker.

2. Look up passage of scripture,quote or ponder on some positive affirmations to keep my emotional body centered and my intention for my day set. Also a brief look at the order of my days events with my kidlets:) Three deep breathes,rinse face with cool water and neti pot salts sinus rinse...got to love my tiny sinuses.

3. quart of good water with a dash of tumeric and a lemon 

4. At this point I take any supplements I need that don't require food.

5. Drink 6-8 oz. of green juice

6. Yoga,walk or dance..you can take a Relyte to replenish salts lost in excercise

7. Breathe

8. Make a good clean breakfast based on what my body is asking for..I encourage you to start listening to your body. I usually want a shake or warm buckwheat cereal w some soaked nuts and seeds and berries. I take the rest of my supplements that are better with food ie. opti oils,krill oil,multi v etc.

9. Get cleaned up... use a loofah to increase circulation and polish skin. If I need more hydration...coconut oil,or Soph Skin is great after your shower or bath. If I take a bath, I love to use the clay and salts with an essential oils lavendar and frankincense. Dress my temple (body:) with respect and gratitude for the gift it is...and on with my kidlets and on with our Day!

Of course All our lives are busy and different, and ad midst this routine, I have to balance taking care of my kidlets...but on days I can, this is my morning routine. Good luck creating yours!
