Zucchini Spring Rolls with Lime-Cashew Dipping Sauce

I love this recipe I found in Mothers Market "delicious living' magazine
Enjoy!

When making this version of Thai Peanut sauce, slowly add only as much water as needed to achieve a thick dipping consistency. I love lots of mint, cilantro, and basil in these rolls, but feel free to adjust to suit your taste. Enjoy as a snack, party appetizer, or complement to any meal.

Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup raw cashew or almond butter
4 keffir lime leaves
1 tablespoon of soy sauce (cooked)
1-2 small thai chilis, seeded to taste
2 tbs fresh lemon juice (1 lemon)
1/2 to 3/4 cup filtered water

3 medium-large zuchinni, divided
1/2 c basil leaves
1/2 c fresh cilantro leaves
2-4 tablespoons mint leaves

• Place all sauce ingredients into a blender, blending in water as needed. Puree until smooth.
• Use a mandolin to slice 2 zucchinis into long thin strips. Set aside to wilt a bit
• Slice remaining zucchini into 3 inch matchsticks. Remove stems from basil, cilantro, and mint. Place zucchini strip on a flat surface. Layer the end closest to you with a few zucchini matchsticks, basil, cilantro, and mint; roll up on a slight diagonal to secure fillings inside the strip. Serve with dipping sauce. Refridgerated, sauce will keep for 4-5 days, rolls will keep for 2.

The Benefits of Cinnamon and Honey

Cinnamon and Honey


Use: Raw Unfiltered Honey, Organic Cinnamon Powder

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning into sugar. In reality honey is always honey... however, when left in a cool dark place for a long time, it will do what I rather call "crystalizing". When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water and set the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in the microwave. If you do so, it will kill the enzymes in the honey.

Cinnamon and Honey Facts:
Bet the drug companies won't like this getting around.

* It is found that a mixture of Cinnamon and Honey helps most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world and is easily accessable. Scientists today also accept honey as a "Ram Ban", very effective medicine for most all diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects.
Today's science says that though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in it's issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASE: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of elly or jam, and eat regualrly for breakfast. It reduces cholesterol in the arteries and saves patients from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from their next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart. In Canada and America, various nursing homes have treated patients sucessfully and have found that as you age, the artieries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries ans veins.

ARTHRITIS: Athritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic Arthritis can be healed. In a research study at copenhagen University, it was found that when doctors treated their patients with a mixture of One tablesppon of honey and half a teaspoon of cinnamonb powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totlly relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking again without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take 2 tablesppons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of luckwarm water aand drink it. It destroys germs in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL: 2 tablesppons of Honey and 3 teaspoons of cinnamoin powder mixed with16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the leel of cholesterol in the blood by n10 percent within 2 hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken 3 times a day,any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information recieved in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon of lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon of cinnamon powder daily for 3 days. This process will help with chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

Does covering the pot when making soup help to preserve nutrients?

Yes, it is helpful to cover your soup pot when making soup. The process of soup-making exposes food to increased temperatures over a relatively long period of time. In addition, foods are usually chopped up or sliced before being added to a soup, and this chopping and slicing increases their exposed surface area. Finally, these chopped and sliced foods with more exposed surface areas get submerged into water. This particular combination of factors—large food surface areas exposed to water under increased temperature for an extended period of time—is a perfect combination for leaching water-soluble nutrients from food.
This leaching doesn't happen all at once. But over the time it takes to cook a soup, some water-soluble nutrients (including B-vitamins and vitamin C) will be drawn out of the food and into the broth. There will still be important amounts of water-soluble nutrients left in the food, but a varying percentage of these nutrients will have migrated into the broth.
 
From among the water-soluble nutrients that have migrated into the broth, some will become volatile and evaporate in the steam that rises from the soup pot. These nutrients will be lost into the air. By covering your soup pot, you will create a mechanical barrier that will trap some of these volatile nutrients and cause them to fall back down into the broth. In this way, your soup broth will stay more nutrient-rich. In comparison to an opened soup pot without a lid, you'll need to turn down your stove burner to achieve a gentle simmer when you're making soup in a covered pot.

Healthy Food Tip

Are partially hydrogenated oils and trans fat the same thing?
Partially hydrogenated oil is not the same as trans fat. The term "partially hydrogenated" means that hydrogen gas has been bubbled up into an oil to increase its degree of saturation and shelf life. The process of hydrogenation causes several chemical changes to occur in the oil. One of these changes (only one, but an important one) is the creation of trans fat.
There is some naturally occurring trans fat in many foods-but not nearly as much as we get from partially hydrogenated oils. Some of us get about 20 grams of trans fat per day solely from consumption of these oils. From natural foods, we would only get a few grams. A food label can claim "Zero grams of trans fat" even when there is partially hydrogenated oil in the product, because a product is legally considered "trans fat free" as long as there is less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving size. Trans fats are definitely harmful to our health in large amounts, and processed products containing hydrogenated oils are not ones that I recommend consuming.
