Vegetable Broth
This broth is universal. Dishes are greatly improved by using a broth instead of water, it gives quick dishes the ‘cooked all day’ flavor. It can be used as a base for soups, gravies, rice dishes, casseroles, etc. It is convenient to make it up and freeze it in batches for later use.
Make this broth your own by adding ingredients or substituting ingredients. These also make a tasty broth: leeks, onions, carrots, tomatoes, or garlic. Experiment with herbs: parsley, marjoram, thyme, bay leaves, dried basil, or sage.
Vegetable Tostada
Place the pinto beans in food processor with the salsa and puree. Place in a nonstick baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. Warm the tortillas in the oven. Place the beans, vegetables, yogurt, and salsa in separate bowls so each person may add the toppings of their choice.
Baked Pears
In nutritional therapy, pears are considered to be excellent for preventing and reducing fibroid tumors and other benign growths in the body. The reason pears are so effective against lumps is thought to be its high content of a phytonutrient, the mineral boron, and an insoluble fiber called ligrin. Pears are easily digested and are very calming for the whole digestive system.
Losing Weight Through the Digestive System
Our digestive system has a direct role in our health. Whatever we put in our mouth has to go through the digestive system. The digestive system, through a complicated process, breaks down what we’ve consumed and distributes it where our body needs or doesn’t need it. This is the place our vitamins and minerals emerge from the food we ate. If there is a functional problem in the digestive system, then no matter what is being eaten, it will not be properly absorbed and deficiency will be experienced.
