My Favorite Side Dish during Thanksgiving! Mashed Cauliflower

Raise your hands if you LOVE mashed potatoes.  I am sure just like you I have been eating potatoes since my young childhood days.  What better dinner to add potatoes with then Thanksgiving?  Can’t think of any here!  Ah ok hands down.  They are just so yummy when mixed with turkey, cranberries, stuffing, and gravy.  However, if you are concerned with your waistline the receipe below will be great to  use.  It isn’t uncommon for each of us to eat a ton of bread, appetizers, dips, triple helpings of each, and most likely desserts of all kind which is detrimental to our weight and our health.

Try this Cauliflower Mash with your Thanksgiving meal and realize that healthy food can substitute for not so healthy food.  You will be amazed and will keep the new tradiditon alive for years to come.

MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Ingredients
– 1 head cauliflower, leaves removed, stem and florets chopped into similar sized pieces
– 1 cup chicken stock or broth (more for a particularly large head of cauliflower)
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 cloves garlic, smashed
– 1-2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves

Instructions
1. Place all ingredients in a medium sized saucepan or Dutch oven and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to medium and cover, allowing to cook for 15-20 minutes or so, or until the cauliflower is very tender and easily mashed with a fork.**
**You may need to add more stock if everything dries up and your cauliflower is not yet cooked through. Keep an eye on things as it cooks to see if you need to add some more.
3. Once cauliflower is tender and cooked through, pour off any excess stock that remains and reserve.
4. Pour all contents into a food processor and mix. If the cauliflower seems too dry, add in some of the reserved stock.

Add in any spices, herbs, or “mix-ins” that you’d like as discussed above.

Steps to Prevent Breast Cancer

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month has passed I believe we should always strive to prevent #Breast Cancer.

A great article outlying 6 steps to prevent breast cancer clearly gives us a way to defend breast cancer happening to anyone.  Not only are the recommendations good for females but to everyone when it dives into the foods we eat / the cosmetics we use everyday / and the polluted surroundings that we live in.

Please take the time to read and pass the word.

(NaturalNews) Take matters into your own hands and ignore the preventative measures offered by the Koman Foundation types, which actually function to snare you into the toxic and lucrative cancer industry early.
Here are six ways to stay away from the mainstream cancer industry and protect yourself from breast cancer.

(1) Komen/cancer industry early detection lies

Early detection methods promoted by these “charitable” groups actually help cause breast cancer. Mammograms emit highly carcinogenic radiation. Add this to the many false mammogram positives that put women into chemo or radiation treatments unnecessarily.

According to Dr. John McDougall, by the time mammography detects cancers, “they have been growing eight to 14 years …by this time the disease has spread to the rest of the body and is unreachable by surgery or radiation.”

Fortunately, thermal imagery is safe and able to perceive tumors during their inception. After detection, more hazardous imagery may be needed for measurement purposes.

Search for thermal imagery locations here: http://thermologyonline.org/Breast/breast_thermography_clinics.htm. Other accurate lab blood tests are available as well. Look in source (1) below under the “Other options for detecting cancer” section.

(2) Dietary preventative measures

Heavy red meat and alcohol consumption increase the risk of #breast cancer. Most doctors don’t warn about consuming sugar even after cancer becomes obvious. They ignore the fact that cancer cells thrive on sugar. Synthetic artificial sweeteners cause other serious problems as well. Stevia and honey are okay.

Consume high amounts of green and cruciferous vegetables along with ample amounts of green tea. Use only organic cold pressed oils, such as olive, sunflower, or coconut oils. Avoid processed trans-fatty acid hydrolyzed oils and canola oil.

Make an effort to avoid fast foods and processed items, most of which contain GMOs. Have you seen the tumors on rats fed GMOs yet? If not, search on http://www.naturalnews.com and you will.

(3) Avoid carcinogenic pollutants

Cigarette smoke from your smoking or from others contains one of the worst carcinogenics, cadmium. So do many batteries used today. Make sure they’re kept tucked away and properly disposed when spent.

Exhaust from gas driven vehicles adds carcinogens. Avoid too much exposure by driving your car with windows shut and recycling internal air while in heavy traffic.

Natural pesticides and insecticides are also available to replace those toxic items. (http://www.naturalnews.com/037106_pesticides_exposure_herbicides.html)

(4) Topical toxins to avoid

Most commercial cosmetics contain carcinogens such as parabens and phthalates. Most underarm deodorants contain aluminum, which is toxic and carcinogenic. Shop for natural cosmetics in your local health food stores. Ditto for sun screens, which should only be used for extreme sun exposures.

Use only all natural detergents for your clothes, and seek non-perchloroethylene (non-perc) alternative technology dry cleaners. All the normally commercial stuff is carcinogenic.

Use natural insect repellent oils or sprays only. (http://www.naturalnews.com/036676_West_Nile_virus_protection.html)

(5) Recommended supplements

Maintain a high blood level of vitamin D3 (NOT D2) to inhibit cancer cell growth. You should experience a moderate amount of direct sunlight, without glass between you and the sun, or use UVB tanning beds to increase your D3 blood levels.

Independent studies indicate that vitamin D3 blood levels measured with a 25(OH)D test should be above 50ng/ml. Some suggest 60 to 80 ng/ml to protect against cancer.

The recommended daily amounts (RDA) for supplementing D3 of 600 to 800 IU are not enough. It can take 4,000 to 10,000 units or more of naturally derived D3 supplements to get your D3 blood levels where they should be.

Other helpful supplements include CoQ10 vitamin C, and other antioxidants. Supplementing with resveratrol may inhibit estrogen growth factors that could lead to cancer causing hormonal imbalances.

(6) Keep your hormones balanced

Birth control pills, BPA in plastic food containers and inner linings of cans, and synthetic hormone replacement therapies (HRT) can actually be gateways to breast cancer by upsetting your sex hormone balance. Avoid them.

Even though breast cancer awareness month is over PLEASE keep in mind these steps to help you or your loved ones prevent BREAST CANCER.
