My Simple Intentions.......

The Intention: Eat only whole foods and organic whenever possible.
The Habit: Shop every Thursday at one of the organic groceries in the city.
The Habit: Cook a new recipe each week, with a new-to-me ingredient if possible.

The Intention: Hike into and explore new areas when camping this summer.
The Habit: Move in Oxygen for at least 30 minutes every day. Either with Susan or walking in my neighborhood.
The Habit: Do upper and lower body endurance and strength building excercises for at least 20 minutes every second day.

The Intention: Rediscover my creative self.
The Habit: Put pencil to paper each day.
The Habit: Devote one hour each weekend to doing a craft project.

The Intention: Stop procrastinating and begin living more spontaneously.
The Habit: Make a household chore list and do one item from that list nightly as soon as I finish dinner.
The Habit: If there is a concert, art exhibit, play, etc. that only I would be interested in seeing, go to it by myself. Do not wait for someone else to go to it with me.

My intentions are simple, but this is only the beginning. Can't wait to see what my intentions will be on April 16, 2009.

First time I have ever made a list like this. It's satisfying. I have a simple road map for the next part of my journey...

Request
Honored
Tattered
And
Torn

From Tracey



I saw the request for the red bean dip/spread over on the other site. I still have that little red book, all tattered and torn, but I have it. The closest thing I could find was this recipe for a red bean sandwich:

1 can dark red kidney beans
1 small onion
3 T. catsup
1/8 t. cayenne pepper
herb salt
freshly ground pepper
tabasco sauce to taste
8 slices whole grain bread

Blend first seven ingredients in a food processor, adding more catsup if needed for desired consistency. Spread on toasted whol grain bread and top with sliced tomato, onion and your favorite vegetables.

Enjoy

Bake
Some sweet
Fruit…

Baked Cinnamon Bananas
 
4 bananas
½ cup apple juice
1 ½ Tbsp real maple syrup
Cinnamon
1 tsp. shredded coconut (optional)
 
Preheat the over to 450 degrees. Slice the bananas in halves long ways.
Layer them on the bottom of a baking dish
Combine the apple juice and maple syrup. Pour this mixture evenly over all the bananas. Sprinkle cinnamon over each banana.  Place the dish uncovered in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the bananas are starting to turn brown, basting at least once.
 
(Optional) Sprinkle with the shredded coconut over each banana and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from oven and serve warm.
 
 
Pecan Baked Apples

 
6 Granny Smith apples – cored
4 Tbsp. maple syrup
½ tsp. vanilla
½ tsp. fresh lime or lemon juice
1 Tbsp. pecans- finely chopped
¼ cup water
 
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a baking dish just large enough to hold the apples, pour the water to coat the bottom of the dish. Arrange the apples in the dish. Combine the maple syrup, vanilla, citrus juice and pecans in a bowl. Pour the mixture over and inside each apple, dividing it equally.  Cover the dish and place in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes just until the skins start to split. Don’t cook the apples until they are mushy.
Serve the apples warm or chilled with all of the sauce from the bottom of the dish poured evenly over each apple.
