Nurture Me Nature

Certified organic, gluten, grain & nut free, added sugar free baking mixes made from seeds. (There is no guar gum or xanthan gum in our products.

Work wonders for people on Paleo, Keto and other low carb and sugar diets! Nurture Me Nature is the first of its kind to develop a line of gluten & grain free/sugar friendly baking mixes that are not only organic, kosher, non GMO, allergen & gluten free, but also:

~ High glycemic flour and starch free. (There are no grains, tapioca, arrowroot and potato starch in the mixes. We use only nutritious

seeds such as sunflower and flax seeds.)

~ High glucose sweeteners free (We used only whole leaf green stevia powder and minimal coconut sugar in our baking mixes. Stevia is not a sweetener, but a plant that happens to have a sweet taste. Coconut sugar is an unrefined sugar that is naturally low in glucose and rich in amino acids.)

~ Free of additives, including those with potential hazardous side effects. Instead, we use flax seeds.)

~ In addition, Nurture Me Nature baking mixes are dairy and cholesterol free and most of them are vegan. The preparation instructions don't call for use of butter, margarine or solid vegetable oils.

~ Because the mixes are grain free, they are Paleo/Gaps friendly!

I loveeeeee macaroons! If you have the Pizza & Bread mix, here is the recipe for you to fall in love:

You will need:
~ 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
~ 1/2 cup Pizza & Bread Mix
~ 1/4 cup honey
~ 2 egg whites (from 2 large eggs)
~ 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
~ 1/2 teaspoon green stevia powder
~ 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
1. In a bowl combine dry ingredients. Add egg whites and honey.

2. Use your hands to combine wet ingredients with the dry.

3. Preheat oven to 350F/177C.

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly greased with oil.

5. Using your fingers, press the mixture into the measuring spoon ( I use 1 TBS), forming a cookie. Gently remove the cookie with your finger onto the baking sheet. It will look like a firm turtle shell. Repeat with the rest of the cookies.

7. Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 min. (Don't over bake, they will burn, but also don't under bake, the cookies are the tastiest when baked to golden.)

Enjoy!!!

Stir all dry ingredients together, then mix in the wet. Flatten out into a 9" circle on parchment-lined pan; cut into 8 wedges and move wedges slightly apart. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

A thought on meditation

This time of year is hectic for most of us: the student taking final exams and hurriedly finishing final coursework; the parent rushing around preparing for end-of-school activities and finalizing summer camps and vacations; planning Memorial Day vacations, cookouts, and get-togethers. Rushing to get it all done seems to be the story of most people I know these last few days. And even just a few minutes a day of meditation can be more beneficial to your well-being than you know. Even if you’ve never meditated before, or you think you don’t have the time, just start off with a few minutes a day. It can be the beginning of the day, the end, at lunchtime, an afternoon break – whenever you can squeeze 5 minutes in your day. Don’t let worrying about meditating the “correct” way stop you from starting.

Let’s start our 5-minute meditation:

 First, find a calm, comfortable, safe place. A quiet place would be best, but in lieu of quiet, find a place that is calm for you.
 Closing your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly. Concentrating on slowly inhaling, letting your breath linger for just a moment in your lungs, then slowly exhaling.
 Don’t worry if thoughts come into your mind while you are meditating. Just let them gently pass through your mind without letting them linger. Imagine sitting on the edge of a quiet stream. Envision that those intrusive thoughts are leaves floating on the water, quietly passing in front of you before they peacefully flow downstream before they disappear from sight.
 Mentally scan your body, taking note of the different parts of your body as you go, starting from the top: Your head, your neck, your shoulders, arms, abdomen, etc. Are they tense? Relaxed? Achy or sore? Imagine each part of your body relaxing as you scan it, releasing each body parts’ tension as you leave it to concentrate on the next area.
 Once you finish scanning the length of your body, take a moment to reflect on how wonderfully your body has served you. Regardless of how imperfect your body is, how broken it may be, how achy it may be -- it has served you well and ask that it continue to serve you well.
 Open your eyes. You will be amazed at how much calmer you feel after just 5 minutes of meditation.

Again, it’s okay if your meditation isn’t “correct”. Just start anyway, and it will come to you gradually with practice. I guarantee you will feel much more relaxed and ready to face your day, regardless of how stress-filled and busy it is. Just try it, and you will see what I mean.

Yummy, spicy, and easy to make! Nurture Me Nature's gluten-free, nut-free, Paleo-friendly JALAPENO CHEESE BREAD recipe: 1 bag of Nurture Me Nature's Pizza and Bread Making Mix, following the recipe on the back for the Rosemary Bread (just omit the rosemary). Add 1 Cup grated cheddar cheese, and 1/3 Cup sliced jalapenos (I used 1/2 cup, as I prefer mine a little spicier). Mix all ingredients, saving just a little bit of the grated cheese and jalapeno slices for the top. Bake per the bread instructions. This will now be one of my go-to recipes -- so delicious!
