Top of
the day to you and a very Merry Christmas!
I am not going to give you a recipe like I did last year for that Christmas
Dinner as I know that you are probably at your folks or family's house for the
day and the guard is down so to speak.
But anyway, I made this tonight and thought that maybe in the week after you
come down from all the decadent treats, etc. You might like to try this one
as it totally blew me away at how good it was. I make these all up myself so
when I stumble on one that's a winner, I'm just as jazzed as you are when you
try it.
Try this:
Take 1 cup of Wild Rice and add 2 cups of Distilled Water. Bring to a boil
and let simmer for 1 hour. But add some spices. Here are the ones I added. A
pinch of Cayenne Pepper; a pinch of Garlic Powder; one quarter teaspoon of Dried
Basil, one quarter teaspoon of Dried Parsley and one quarter teaspoon of Dried
Oregano!
I usually do that in the morning around 11 am so that by Noon it's ready. OK
now, in a larger cooking pot bring one half cup of Distilled Water to a boil
then turn it right down to simmer. Add 1 pound of Fresh Pole Beans cut in 2
inch pieces and then add the broccoli stems. After it's been simmering for about
5 minutes, then add the Broccoli Florets. Let simmer for 1 more minute.
Then pour the entire Ingredients - water and all (Not including the Rice) into
your Vita Mix or Thermomix or high Powered Blender and blend for about 2 minutes.
Then put the Rice into a large eating bowl and then pour the Blended Broccoli
and Poll Beans over it. Well son-of-a-gun if it wasn't outstanding. I just wanted
something that was quick and easy and this was definitely on target.
Enjoy your Christmas and let me encourage you to indulge in the things you
like, as what you do from Christmas to New Years doesn't matter that much. But
what you do from New Years to Christmas is what really matters.
I have to be on my toes this year as I have a big Video Shoot I'll be doing
on the 28th and I wouldn't think of taking a chance of feeling like the dickens
for the shoot.
But set your goals to be the best you can be after the holidays. The purpose
of a goal is to focus your attention. Your mind reaches toward achievement when
it has clear objectives. Magic begins when you set some goals.
It is then that your internal switch is turned on, the current begins to flow,
and your power to accomplish becomes a reality.
Deciding what you want, is the indispensable step to getting the things you
want out of life. If you don't know where you're going, how can you expect to
get there.
There is no achievement without goals.
My New Year's Goal for you is to make this one of the most talked about e-zines
on the Internet. We have some exciting things in the works for you along with
my Boot Camp in Orlando April 3-5th! We are putting together a Members Only
E-Zine along with Members Only part of our Brand New Website that is in the
works as we speak. Glad to have you as part of it all.
Merry Christmas!
