I became a vegetarian because the animal product industry has become so polluted so the merchants could get rich. The meat is filled with tumors and hormones that cause disease and our bodies to over react. In the milk is blood and pus from the cow overproducing due to growth hormones. As she swells with milk it stretches her to the point of bleeding inside, then she starts to heal causing pus only to start over again and again, poor things. We are forbidden to eat blood, Lev. 3:17 so I won't use dairy products, either. Eggs are too high a risk for e-coli.
The lifespan of vegetarians are 7 to 15 years longer than meat-eaters. We can see this when we look at a genealogy chart of Adam through King David. Adam lived 930 years on the Eden diet, Noah 950 and Shem 600 years. After the flood and the introduction of meat Arphaxad live only 438 years reducing down to King David at only 70 years. We're talking a very short time span. In Exodus 15:26 the Most High Elohim promises not to let any of the diseases of the Egyptians come upon us if we obey Him.
What diseases did the Egyptians die from? Heart disease, cancers, etc. What was the healthy diet given in the book of Genesis? What did Daniel and his three friends eat that kept them so healthy? A vegetarian diet. Did our Blessed Savior give us meat to eat? Yes, He did, but He also gave restrictions on how to eat it. It was not to be strangled as the heathen did because that kept the blood in. It was to be drained of blood, but the meat industry, unless kosher, do not drain the blood as that is where the flavor is. Neither do they trim all of the fat away which we are commanded also not to eat. The life is in the blood and disease is in the fat.
His commands are not heavy unless they rub against our carnal natures. My favorite dishes before my surrender to Yahushua [Christ] were lobster (unclean), prawns (unclean) prime rib, rare (almost bloody with lots of fat - unhealthy) and nearly anything pork (unclean), to my shame and poor health. When I made the commitment to follow the Lamb of Yah [Ps. 68:4], blessed be His name, I surrendered my appetite also. Gradually He showed me the corrupt practices of the meat industry and I could not stomach the products anymore. Praise His name. I have been vegetarian for about five years now. Like Daniel and his three friends, my mind is sharper and I am healthier than I was before veganism. And vegetarian cooking is cleaner, faster and easier. Praise His perfect ways!
This cleansing flush is so simple and so healthy. Drink 1 glass of purified water with the fresh squeezed juice of 1 lemon at room temperature once a day for seven days.
Meanwhile, to really cleanse out your system the gentle, natural way you can follow these tips:
Don't eat or drink anything from a package, box, bottle or can! You can eat all of the fresh ORGANIC (NO PESTICIDES OR PRESERVATIVES) fruits and vegetables you want, only for seven days limit your bread intake to no more than 1 slice per day and eat it plain or toasted or spread only mashed fresh fruit on it. The bread should be organic whole wheat, preferably Ezekiel Bread. And no sweeteners or fats. After seven days I know you will feel great.
(It is important that nothing that has any chemicals at all enter our bodies while we are trying to flush out toxins)
This cleansing program can be greatly increased by adding ORGANIC (fresh) juice. If you have a juicer; Wash 3-5 fresh carrots and 1 apple (if not sure if they are organic peel them) Remove the apple seeds Place apple and carrots through the juicer. Have this drink 30 min. before breakfast.
Wash and put through juicer,
1 leaf of red chard
2" wedge green pepper
1 small apple (seeds removed)
1-1 1/2"wedge of red cabbage
4-6 leaves romaine lettuce
Drink this drink 30 min. before dinner.
If you don't have a juicer you can purchase ORGANIC carrot juice at your health food store.
Taking the pulp from the juice makes it easier to digest and more vitamin content per volume gets into your system so you receive a boost of nutrients each day above what you would get with fresh fruits and vegetables alone.
The Messiah prayed, "Sanctify them through thy truth: Thy Word is truth" (John 17:17). If studied and obeyed, the Word of our Heavenly Father works in the heart, subduing every wicked attribute. The Set-apart Spirit comes to convict of sin and the faith that builds in the heart works by love to our Savior, conforming us, body, soul, and spirit, to His will. Let us do an earnest the work of reform that must be done in our lives. Let us crucify self [Gal. 2:20]. Unholy habits will try to get the better of us, but in the name and through the power of Yahushua [Christ] we may conquer. To those who daily seeks to keep their heart with all diligence, the promise is given, "Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of Elohim, [our Mighty Ones, the Father, Son and Their Set-apart Spirit] which is in the Anointed One, Yahushua our Master, [Rom. 8:38, 39].
[The meat-eaters in my family love these cold or hot. They taste a little like fried chicken.]
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup potato water (boil a few potatoes use water)
1/4 cup potato flour
1 cup water
1 cup chopped onion (sautéed in margarine)
3 tbsp. Liquid Amino (unfermented soy sauce)
4 tbsp. Chicken Seasoning (*recipe following)
Mix the above ingredients, adding water if too dry, adding oatmeal if too wet. Drop by heaping tablespoons into skillet with olive oil. Cover and cook on low-medium heat, turning once until golden brown and crispy around the edges. Can be baked, instead, at 350 for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Just blend together. Can be used in many recipes to give a meaty taste.
1 cup water
1/2 rinsed, raw cashews.
Add,
2 cups water
2 Tbsp. cornstarch (non-genetically engineered)
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. Bragg's Liquid Aminos (see note)
Blend until smooth. Pour into a saucepan, stirring until thickened over medium heat. May add a sautéed onion for onion style gravy or add a little more Bragg's for richer flavor.
(Health Note: Bragg's Liquid Aminos can be found at your local health food store or section at some larger superstores. It is unfermented soy sauce. Also many products using corn include genetically engineered corn. For the Torah observant this is forbidden because they insert swine DNA to the corn seed for crops. Swine is a scavenger and is unclean meat. If the product has corn, check the label for kosher signs or the wording "non-genetically engineered" on the package.) Enjoy a healthier and tasty gravy alternative to fatty, high cholesterol gravy.
Mix together;
2 cups flour 2Tbsp. olive oil 3 cups shredded coconut 1/2 cup honey 3/4 cup water
Shape dough into almond joy sized oblong shapes and place on a greased cookie sheet. Press 2 whole almonds on top of each cookie and bake at 350 for 15 min. or until golden brown on the edges.
For the topping
Melt together in a double boiler;
1 1/2 cup sweetened carob chips 2 Tbsp. natural almond butter 1 tsp. vanilla 2 tsp. Postum (coffee flavored) coffee substitute 1 Tbsp. almond or Rice milk
Spread over baked, warm cookies. Allow to cool. Enjoy!
(Note: Carob is high in natural sugars; low in starch and fat. 3 Tbsp. Carob Powder with 2 Tbsp. water equal 1 square of chocolate. Chocolate and cocoa contain unhealthy caffeine, theobromine and have a high fat content. When coffee flavored Postum is added to the carob along with real vanilla it closely resembles the taste of chocolate. But please don't expect it to be the exact same taste. Almond butter is better than peanut butter because peanuts have a cancer causing ingredient called aflatoxin.)
For a vegan, (that is no animal products, but I eat small amounts of honey) a yummy cheesecake was a thing of the past...until I modified a recipe from a Cool Whip ad. High in sugar so eat sparingly and seldom.
Meanwhile make the pie topping by adding 3/4 cup sugar to 2 cups fresh or frozen berries. Stir 2 Tbsp. cornstarch into 1/2 cup water and add to berries. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Set aside to cool. (I place the pan and all into the freezer to cool quickly for about 30 min.
When pie crust and topping are cooled;
Mix together
1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar 1 large tub Non-dairy Cool Whip 3 tubs "Tofutti's Better than Cream Cheese" (health food store)
Whip until blended and pour into 10" pie shell. Top with berry sauce and keep refrigerated until use.
Recently a good friend of our told us about making our butter from coconut butter (oil). The ingredients can be bought from AzureFarm.com and can be found at most good health food stores.
(Here is another sweet tooth recipe that is so quick and easy that it is surprising that it is also very healthy and that the children love them. They are chewy and delicious!)
1/4 cup olive oil (cold pressed, extra virgin is best) 3/4 cup applesauce 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup brown sugar (Suganut is best) Stir in; 1/2 cup chopped nuts 3/4 cup sweetened carob chips 1/2 cup shredded coconut 3/4 cup rolled oats (oatmeal)
Drop unto ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 until brown, about 15 min.
Mayonnaise - Veganaise brand mayonnaise made with Grapeseed. (I like the flavor of the original Veganaise but it has milk by-products and grapeseed has added health benefits. Canola Oil is used in many products on the market but canola has harmful properties and is very unhealthy.)
Cream Cheese - Tofutti's Better-than-Cream-Cheese
Whipping Cream - Cool Whip Non-dairy
Sausage Patties - (When I gave up pork I really missed my sausage McMuffins) Morningstar Farms vegan sausage patties are very similar, and their corn dogs (meat hotdogs are not fit for human consumption and contain swine's flesh ), and wieners are very good. Their chicken-style nuggets and sausage links are also tasty.
Gardenburger brand puts out some very tasty and a wide variety of meat substitutes but I stopped buying them because of the New Age propaganda they do on the packaging.
Boca brand patties are excellent.
Sour Cream - IMO non-dairy taste more like dairy but Tofutti brand is good also.
Butter - Willow Run Margarine
Cheese - Of all the many brands of substitutes out there I prefer the taste of Rice Slice and Soy Station. These taste very close to dairy cheese and they work well melted in dishes or served cold.
If anyone is considering switching to a vegan life-style I hope these tips will help make the transition easier. They did for me and my husband. We have been vegetarian for about five years and as we learned more about what goes on in the food industry we became vegan about two years ago. We would never go back by choice.
It is by His grace and His grace alone that I am blessed to bless you with this information. Yahushua, our Righteous Redeemer and Healer is so amazing to me I can't help but share with others what He has given me.
Continue to check back for added recipes. As I experiment, and find good ones, by His grace, I will add recipes to the list.
