Hi everyone,

As requested by those who attended our last conference call, I am following up with some information and a few links that I shared.

First, for those of you making decisions organic produce, we talked about the lists that can help you prioritize your organic purchases. They are sometimes referred to as “The Dirty Dozen” or “Dirty Dozen Plus” for those items that tend to have heavy pesticide residues. Those items that are relatively clean and pesticide free are called “The Clean Fifteen”. To learn more about these lists and print them off you can check them out at: www. ewg.org. There is a downloadable version available for your smart phone.

Second, I mentioned a coffee substitute I was recently given as a gift. It is delicious and completely gluten/caffeine free without the acidity issues of regular coffee. I actually like it better than coffee and have seen a lot of reviewers who’ve said the same thing. Its’ made from Maya Nut and available from a number of different companies. Very pricey, but if you are looking for a way to enjoy coffee a few days a week, this might be a healthy alternative for you. Thankfully, it stretches further and I'm told a 12 oz. bag is equivalent to about 20 oz. of coffee. The brand I was given is called “Capoma” and comes from Tattva’s Herbs. It can be purchased at Amazon here:

https://www.amazon.com/Capomo-Arrived-Alternative-Caffeine-Delicious/dp/B00DCAHPYO/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468327473&sr=8-1&keywords=capomo+maya+nut

There are other brands of Maya Nut coffee that you might want to try which have great reviews and are cheaper. Check them out at Amazon as well.

Finally, we talked about a new recipe that my daughter discovered for protocol-friendly hamburger buns. They can also be used for dinner rolls if made a bit smaller, or as a sandwich bread substitute.

Carrie’s Hamburger Buns:

Ingredients:

4 large eggs
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon minced rosemary (optional)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Sesame seeds

Directions:

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs until light and frothy

Add all remaining ingredients except the sesame seeds and stir gently until a batter forms. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Drop about 1/3 cup portions on to a lightly oiled, parchment-covered cookie sheet. Form into round, hamburger-shaped buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake about 12 minutes or until the buns are firm and become a light golden brown on top. If using for hamburgers, allow buns to cool enough to slice through the center with a bread knife before serving.

Dear Ms. V,

I'm glad there will soon be a calmer time for you. However I sure as a mom, it was nice to have the kids around too.

I thought back to when I was a newcomer in February how listening to the archive calls have helped me too. I know what you mean by voices. I believe my first archive call was Amber's. Her voice was sweet, calm, pleasant and she was so real speaking of her journey. I said this somewhere before that her statement of "it was messy" helped me very much. Because in the beginning first week on the protocol I was not doing the protocol perfectly due to brain fog. As you know there are so much to learn and in the beginning regarding laundry, environment...

I too am grateful for all those people whom shared their wisdom and voices with me. Funny they don't even know me, and they don't even know how they have helped someone they never met. But I feel I know them and I appreciate them very much. They have aided me through tough times.

So thank you for your kind words.

Love,
Linn

Hello, Linn!

Thank you for your words. When I listen to the conference calls I find your voice to be so calm and soothing. I think it is very helpful for newcomers to hear both the calm reasoned approach to the disease in voices like yours and Peter's, as well as the energy and positive fire of Mel's approach. We need both to sustain calm and progress to fight this. So, many thanks to you for that.

My schedule is a bit hectic right now because our kids are on fall break from high school and college at the same time. But soon it will calm down around our home and I will be able to get a bit more rest and participate in the calls.

On a dietary note: I was so excited to find NutPods as a creamer/substitute. My heritage is pan-European; Irish, French, Scottish, Swiss - so no dairy was a big challenge. I told Deanna in a separate post that it can be used in many ways in recipes and as a milk/cream substitute. Let me know how it works for you!

Much love,

Ms.V.
