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

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

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

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.
