Living Food Recipes ™
|
|
The body becomes what it eats, as the mind becomes what it thinks.
|
|
Thom has learned quite a lot during the years after the journey on period of his life began. As he travels, he continues to do research to learn how to keep his body healthy, strong and above ground. The initial
journey on period followed the
mowing grass period, where he had, it seems, little time to eat and live healthy. However, it did not take long after the journey on resumed that he felt the need to learn a better way to live his life, and this better way began first and foremost with his food choices.
Further, he plans to add all of the information that he gleans from his research, including new recipes to the pages of this website. These recipes will include those he creates, finds in his research and even some that are donated by other for display here.
All Ingredients For Living Food
One very important fact about preparing food intended to keep a person healthy is that first and foremost, all of the ingredients should be Living Food. What is Living Food?
Living Food is: (1) preferably plant based; (2) organic; (3) has no added salt; (4) has no added sugar; and (5) has no added fats(oils).
Too, if a person eats meat, then it should be range fed or wild caught and not be from those animals fed in farms, feed-lots or similar commercial industries.
For More About Living Food
For more information about what living food is and what it is not, please see the discussion on this website in the Appendix Passage, under the
Quill Strokes discussion of The
Real Way, particularly the Third Step,
Living Food.

Beet Root Tea (c. September 2025)
|
|
|
Ingredients:
medium beet skins (fresh), small-to-medium red or yellow onion skins (fresh), garlic (fresh), ginger (fresh), cinnamon powder (or 1 cinnamon quill), small limes, raw honey, spring water.
|
| |
5 beet skins
|
4 onion skins
|
1/4 cup garlic
|
|
1/4 cup ginger
|
1 tbsp cinnamon powder
|
1 pinch black pepper
|
| |
2 limes
|
1 tbsp honey
|
1 quart water
|
|
| |
Preparation Items needed:
cutting board, sharp knife, containers
| |
Preparation Directions:
Skin both the beets and onions (you should use the rest of these vegetables for cook in you meal) The limes should be sliced into thin round circles. The garlic and ginger should both be sliced and then chopped into small pieces.
| |
Directions:
Boil water, add beet skins, onion skins, garlic, ginger, cinnamon and limes. You should boil the mixture at least ten minutes in order for all of the nutrition to leach out of the food into the water. Strain into a tea cup, add honey and enjoy.
| |
Yield:
One or two cups of tea depending on the size of your cup.
| |
Variation to Beet Root Tea:
None yet.
| |
History:
I have seen several versions of this tea on the online video channels, some taking the vegetables and blending them, others juicing the veggies and fruits, and if you have a blender, the this is the best method for maximizing the resulting nutrition because it retains not only the nutrition but also the fiber. However, for those like myself who do not have access to either a blender nor a juicer, because I am a full time Wayƒarer, you might try this recipe.
The primary down side with boiling is that it diminishes heat sensitive nutrients and water-soluble vitamins from the food, such as vitamin c. However, what the national studies have shown is that these nutrients and vitamins are considered a loss because they leach into the water. Thus, if you are boiling for the purpose of making a tea, then you are then gain most all of the nutrition from the foods.
Once I tried my
first pot of Beet Root Tea, I did not include the honey, because, as some of you readers know, I gave up all sweeteners over forty years ago and have not purchased any, including Sucralose, Stevia nor Monk fruit because I did not want to have the need for that addition any longer. What I found out by drinking my first cup of this recipe for Beet Root Tea, was that it was very bitter and hard to swallow. However, after I had purchase a small jar of raw honey, I tried the Beet Root Tea about sixteen ounces worth in which I included the one tablespoon of raw honey and this time, I actually enjoyed the tea. However, not being accustom to having any sweeteners, the next time I boil beet and onion skins, I will only use one teaspoon of the honey.

| |
Benefits:
All of the fruits in this dish have been chosen because of the high nutritional, curative and energy providing values they contain. Most have high levels of anthocyanidins widely known for their antioxidant properties having remarkable healing power inside the body including anti-carcinogen qualities, better heart health, improved eye health, healing of atherosclerosis in large blood vessels as well as numerous other benefits.
Anthocyanidins protect the photosynthetic tissues from the direct rays of sun and they render bright colors to the flowers resulting in the success of the flowers in attracting different agents of pollination such as birds and bees.
The hydrated ground flax seed serves the same purpose in the recipe as two eggs (it binds the liquid and solid ingredients, adds color, flavor and moisture.) However, flax seed does even more, because the oil from flax seed are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, essential fatty acids (EFAs) which are important for healing the body. EFAs work all over the body to protect cell membranes. Flax seed is a high source of fiber (acting as a natural equalizing agent in the digestive tract, is high in magnesium (which helps to reduce symptoms of asthma), lignans (helpful in defending against estrogen-dependent cancers such as breast cancer), and alpha-linolenic acid (which has a positive impact on reducing blood pressure.)
Flaxseed has shown: to slow down the spread of prostate cancer and melanomal; decrease thinning of blood vessels which frequently lead to migraines and sleeping problems; helps with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporisis and helps cure skin problems such as acne and eczema.
Flaxseed and cinnamon both have shown: to reduce insulin resistance and thus may defend against diabetes.

History:
Not liking the overly sweet and processed commercial fruit cakes, the wayƒarer developed his own recipe for a fruit cake, and after the initial trial and errors of many loaves, he came up with a good workable recipe, the one shown in the Classical Recipes.
Since achieving that workable recipe, the wayƒarer has adjusted that original recipe in his attempt to include better nutrition in A Wayƒarer′s Bread. The result is the above.
Now, the wayƒarer always chooses to use organic food products.

Cup of Hot (c. 1978 - date)
|
|
|
Ingredients:
organic fermented cacao powder, instant coffee and/or microground coffee, mushroom powder mix, spring water

|
2 tsp coffee
|
2 tsp mushroom powder
|
|
14-16 ounces spring water
|
|
|
|
| |
Directions:
Boil water, stir in all ingredients, sweeten to taste
| |
| |
| |
Yield:
one medium to large cup
| |
Variation to Cup Of Hot:
Instead of the organic fermented cacao, use Peruvian cacao pellets
| |
History:
For a very long time, I have been calling my morning hot beverage a Cup Of Hot, in fact, this expression began during the summers of 1978 and 1979, when I walked from the south terminus of the Appalachian Trail to its northern terminus, a task which involved a total of one hundred and sixty-four days actually hiking upon the footpath to complete the entire 2056 miles. YMWV.
It all began soon after starting walking upon that long path northbound from Springer Mountain on 02 March 1978, when I began calling my hot beverage a Cup of Hot, at which time my favorite one was herbal tea with a dozen raisins dropped into the hot liquid. Methinks, the tea that I drank the most during that hike was Yarrow, which I drank due to the numerous health benefits.
After the end of that vagabondage and my eventual return to the eight to five workday, I took up brewing coffee by the pot-full and drinking coffee as my primary cup of hot. Much later, I returned to the herbal teas and to this day, I will make a cup of hot with coffee and a second cup of hot with herbal tea. Recently, I purchased a package containing a variety of powdered mushrooms, I believe it is a blend of seven different species, and began including some mushroom powder in the Cup of Hot. Therefore, now my morning Cup of Hot coffee includes what I have updated this recipe to include the above recipe ingredients.
Recently, at my current abode, another tenant was moving out and set up a table with items of food on it for the taking. I was able to procure a package of Peruvian Cacao which was pressed into small nickel size pellets. When using these pellets, there are always coco butter floating In my Cup of Hot. (See also

Daystart ™ (c. 2014 - date)
|
|
Ingredients:
coconut (shredded unsweetened), flax seed (coarse ground meal), dried fruit (mixed: blueberry, cherry, gogi berry, goldenberry), hemp seed (raw, hulled),
MRP mix, non dairy milk (almond or coconut, unsweetened), nuts (chopped: pecan, walnut) oats (rolled, sprouted, uncooked).
|
|
|
¼ cup oats
|
¼ cup coconut
|
¼ cup hemp seed
|
|
¼ cup flax seed
|
⅛ cup dried fruit
|
⅛ cup nuts
|
|
1 tbsp MRP mix
|
½ cup non-dairy milk
|
|
|
Directions:
Do Not Cook. Mix the dry ingredients, fruit and nuts in a bowl, pour in the non dairy milk and stir thoroughly.
If you prefer a hot meal, instead of the non dairy milk, use hot water. Personally, I always use my tea pot to boil water for the Daystart and then use the remaining water from the tea pot to make a cup of hot coffee and another of hot tea.
Or, if you want to add a bit of sweetness, make a cup of
molasses tea, pour some into your Daystart and stir. Then enjoy the remainder of the cup of hot with your breakfast.
|
Yield:
One serving.
|
Variation:
Substitute the following as desired:
Add 1 tablespoon of molasses for a sweeter taste.
Add pecans instead of or in addition to the walnuts.
Add some mull berry or golden berry.
Add fresh blueberries or other fresh fruit instead of the dried fruit.
|
History:
The wayƒarer′s original recipe began on the Appalachian Trail and consisted of quick oats, raisins and cinnamon, but this recipe has progress a long way since the AT. Also, he has tried many types of nuts, but walnuts and pecan remain his staples. However, raisins are seldom used now because most all are made from green grapes which do not have the high cardiovascular antioxidants that red grapes possess.
Also, when available, fresh fruits are on the menu, especially bananas.
|
Note:
During the winter of 2014-2015, when researching nutrition, the wayƒarer has found new information about grains, well documented clinical research showing the anti-nutrient content contained within grains, legumes, seeds and nuts. The list of grains includes oats.
These anti-nutrient include: (1) mineral blocking phytate, (2) lectins which cause flatulence and damage to the lining of the GI tract, (3) enzyme inhibitors, (4) the vitamin-blocking glucosides and several other various anti-nutrients. For more information on anti-nutrients, please see the
Whole Grains section and the Food Pyramid Hoax.
Thus due to this newest information, the wayƒarer is once again making changes to his eating habits and has begun updating his recipes accordingly. First to go is the rice milk as it too is from a grain, Instead of rice milk, he began using almond milk which took a little while to develop a taste for, much like coconut milk did, but both are nuts and may have some of the same problem with anti-nutrients.
Maybe it is time to return to the molasses tea.
|
However:
in December 2018, while shopping at a hg-mart in Houston, Texas, sprouted rolled oats were discovered. The texture and taste is much the same but the finished product feels a little bit lighter in weight.

A Wayƒarer′s
Fudge (c. 2013 - date)
|
|
Ingredients:
almond flour (course meal, not blanched), almond butter (no added salt, sugar or oils), blueberries (dried, unsweetened), coconut (shredded, unsweetened), coconut oil (organic virgin, unrefined), hemp powder,
MRP (meal replacement powder), walnuts (finely chopped or ground).
|
| |
2 cups MRP
|
16 ounce almond butter
|
1/4-1/2 cup coconut oil
|
|
1/4 cup almond flour
|
1/4 cup hemp powder
|
| |
1/4 cup dried blueberries
|
1/4 cup walnuts
|
1/4 cup coconut flakes
|
| |
Other Items needed:
cook pot, mixing bowl, spoon, zip bag or plastic food wrap.
|
Backpacking Directions:
In a cook pot, put all of the MRP and then spoon all of the almond butter onto the top of powder mixture. Mix the ingredients with a spoon, adding more flour and or coconut oil at the end of mixing to achieve a firm and slightly sticky consistency.
In a separate bowl, mix the coconut and walnuts. Roll a small amount of the fudge mixture into a ball and drop into the coconut-walnut mix to coat the outside, pressing the mix into the fudge. Remove from the bowl and put the coated ball into the zip bag (or wrap individually with plastic wrap). Repeat until all he mixture is made into wrap balls or in a zip bag.
Alternate finish: Press the fudge into a flat cake about one-half to three-quarters of an inch thick. Next, spread the coconut-walnut mixture over the top of the cake and press into the fudge. Then cut the cake into squares and wrap each with a small amount of plastic food wrap or store the squares in a zip bag.
| |
Variations:
Substitute the following as desired:
Use coconut flour instead of almond flour.
Use other nut flower instead of almond flour.
Use raw organic honey instead of coconut oil.
| |
Yield:
Eight to twelve balls (or squares) depending on size of fudge pieces.
Non Backpacking Finish:
After mixing the MRP and almond butter, I add coconut oil to the basic fudge mixture to give in a more liquid texture. Then I add the almond powder and hemp powder, mixing the fudge until it has a consistent color, usually greenish-brown, but that realy depends of the color of the MRP.
The next step is what I have tried only recently and have found that it makes the fudge look and taste more like fudge. I mix in a second 1/4 cup of coconut oil until achieving a consistent texture and color, after which, I mix in the blues powder. This results in changing the color of the fudge to a dark blue brown and I especially like the sweeter taste the blues powder gives to the fudge. Too, because I happen to have some dried blueberries on hand, I mixed in a quarter cup of these as well.
Finally, I return the mixture to the almond butter jar (or two) from which I use a spoon to take out a portion for a quick snack.
I find this a much better and tastier use my MRP mixture.
|
History:
This recipe has come a long way since the day when the
original fudge was first used and then later during the time of mowing grass, I changed to the
clasical fudge. The peanut butter is now a more nutritional nut butter, walnuts and coconut have been added to the outside of the balls, the chocolate has changed of ground carob nibs, and never would the wayƒarer now consider adding bacon grease.

Preparation Directions:
When the powdered ingredients are thoroughly mixed into the liquid ingredients, pour the mixture into a hot drink cup, sprinkle a pinch of ground pepper on the top of the drink and enjoy.
| |
Yield:
one 14-16 ounce serving
| |
Variation to Golden Milk:
The dry ingredients can be mix in larger amounts and stored in a container and when ready to add to the hot liquid, just put in two teaspoons of the dry ingredients.
Instead of a cup of hot non-dairy milk, I often use a cup of hot coffee, or even a cup of hot mushroom coffee to add my Golden Milk powder to.
When the Golden Milk drink is ready, add a pinch of black pepper on the top of the hot liquid.
| |
History:
This powdered mixture recipe is one that I learned about several years past and have made a cup of hot Golden Milk only occasionally. However, in the last couple of years, as I have begun to push further into my old age, I have begun to experienced many aches and pains, which only seem to increase the longer I live.
So, in order to accommodate the increasing pain, I have begun to use some of the powdered mixture in my mushroom coffee, and this mixture has helped to take the edge off of the pain.

History:
During the fall southbound migration of 2025 I took what vegetable I had left, cut them up into my cookpot, added oil and vinegar and ate my salad. I had made more than I could eat so I put what was left into the cooler. The next day, in the late afternoon, I became hungry again, so I got out my salad and when I took a bit, said to myself, "This is much better after it has marinaded overnight." Henceforth, when I make my salad, I always let it marinade in the cooler for at least twenty-four hours before I begin eating on it. Wow, this is a really good tasting salad!
The next time I make this salad, I will also add some of my spice mix to see what it does to the taste.

| |
| |
History:
While awaiting for the end of my one year lease/sojourn, which began on 01 July 2024, and the Journey On to begin again on 31 July 2025, I began to see advertisements on the television for mushroom coffee. However, since the small container of the advertised mushroom coffee was very expensive, I decided to purchase the ingredients separately and combine them myself. The cost was about the same, but the amount of product was six times the amount.
Then, while camping in Oregon on the first let of my southbound migration, I worked out the exact serving size, which what I use mow is 1 teaspoon for a single serving. With this paragraph, I have changed the menu to the right serving size and while in Montana, I included a link to this menu so that if someone had been using the old serving amount, they will now see that I have reduced the amount of the powder per 14 ounce serving from 1 tablespoon down to 1 teaspoon. That would be one tablespoon in 14 ounces of hot water for one cup of hot. That is what I have been doing now and it makes a great cup of coffee.

Meal Replacement Powder (MRP) (c. 2015 - date)
|
|
Ingredients:
acacia powder, almond flour,
blues powder mix, cacao powder, Ceylon cinnamon, camu powder, coconut flour, flax seed flour (ground), green banana flour,
greens powder
1, hemp seed powder, maca powder, matcha powder, moringa powder, mushroom powder, pomegranate powder, red beet powder, supplement powder mix
2, walnut flour, and if making a drink, alkaline spring
water or non dairy milk.
|
|
|
|
| |
1 tbsp almond flour
|
1 tbsp blues pwd mix
|
1 tbsp cacao pwd
| |
1 tbsp camu pwd
|
1 tbsp cinnamon
|
1 tbsp coconut flour
| |
1 tbsp flax seed flour
|
1 tbsp green banana flour
|
1 tbsp greens pwd
| |
1 tbsp hemp seed pwd
|
1 tbsp maca pwd
|
1 tbsp matcha tea pwd
| |
1 tbsp moringa pwd
|
1 tbsp mushroom pwd
|
1 tbsp pecan flour
| |
1 tbsp pomegranate pwd
|
1 tbsp red beet pwd
|
1 tbsp sea moss pwd
| |
|
|
1 tbsp walnut flour
|
| |
Preparation Directions:
Grind the walnut pieces in a food processor until it just starts to become a flour. This flour will be very oily so store in a separate container, (a zip bag works very well which can be kept in the refrigerator.)
I have recently been able to find walnut flour and I choose the flour product so as not to have to grind the nuts.
| |
Directions for Drink:
Mix all ingredients in a shaker bottle, add liquid, shake well and pour into a twelve ounce glass and enjoy. Ice can be used in the shaker bottle and then strained or even just poured with the MRP.
If you prefer a sweeter drink, mix in a blender and add 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries in the last minute of mixing.
Yield for Drink:
One cup. For one serving, use one 1/4 cup with eight ounces of liquid.
Larger amounts can be made and the bulk mix can be stored in a dark container in a cool location, or in a refrigerator. When mixing the meal replacement powder (MRP) for my use, I make enough to fill three or four 32 ounce containers (100 or more ounces). One serving is two ounces (1/4 cup) and the total yield of this amount is about 60 servings, which normally lasts me for a few months.
| |
Variation:
Mix the MRP with nut butter to achieve slightly sticky texture, press into balls, and coat with coconut flakes and chopped nuts. (See recipe for
A Wayƒarer′s Fudge)
| |
Variation:
Most all of the bulk powders of the above ingredients can be purchased online, at wholesale health food outlets and sometimes locally in grocery stores.
If a particular super food powder is not available, it′s absence from the MRP most likely will not do any harm. The list of ingredients above are those that I have found readily available.
If the plant enzyme powder, grape seed extract and/or other extract powder can not be found in bulk powder form, which is often is what I find, most extract powders can easily be obtained in capsule supplement form. When I have to purchase the extract powders this way, I then empty capsules into separate container and then use a measuring cup to add equal amounts to each of my containers of the MRP mix.
Any other powdered supplement in capsule form that you normally take can be added to the MRP. Follow the manufactured recommended daily dosage when adding to your MRP.
I continue on the lookout for additional nutritional foods to add to my MRP.
| |
History:
The purchase of powdered supper food began early in the year 2013 with about five specific types, which I would mix together in a shaker bottle, add almond milk, shake and drink. For several years, I was experimenting with different powder mixes to drink and often the drink was hard to swallow at best and sometimes even needing to be thrown out. I kept experimenting with different ways to get all of the supper food powders past my taste buds and into my stomach.
Before coming up with the present name MRP, I had been using these powdered super foods only as a meal replacement drink, in fact that was what I called the mix of powders, the Meal Replacement Drink (MRD).
By March of 2016, I began in earnest to find and include additional health and nutrition powders in my meal replacement drink by including several types of super food. Once, when shopping, keeping an eye out for super food powders, I came across the Om brand of mushroom powders and purchase one package of all six varieties to mix together as a mushroom powder blend.
It has long been my endeavor to purchase only organic ingredients to use in my MRP
The first colored powdered mix I was to make was the Blues Powder Mix which included the acai, blueberry and maqui berry powders. Later, I added the elderberry to the mix.
The most recent addition to the MRP is a fiber blend from acacia gum powder, apple fiber and green banana flour which help increase my prebiotics intake.
|
|
|
8 oz. pkg acai berry pwd
|
8 oz. pkg blueberry pwd
|
|
8 oz. pkg maqui berry pwd
|
4 oz. pkg elderberry pwd
|
In 2017, I began to add even more powders to my MRD, categorizing and storing the powders in containers of all similar color food powders. The next new powder blend was a greens powder which came to include alfalfa, barley grass, chlorella, kale, kelp, matcha tea, spinach, spirulina, and wheat grass, the content of this green powder container would vary greatly according to availability of the specific greens powder that I could find.
Late in 2017, I then found a container of Greens Powder mix, pre-mixed by the manufacturer containing most all of the same green powders that I had been using. This lead me to continue to use these pre-mixed green powder blends because this reduced the time necessary to gather together all of the many individual green powders super foods.
See
Greens Power Information Page
Next, I filled a container with pink super powder foods, which included gogi berry powder and pomegranate powder. I then realized that by maintaining the different colors in their separate containers, I was beginning to have way to many different containers of supper foods: blues; greens, pink, brown (mushrooms), some only one-third or one-half full.
Then by 2018, I created a blues powder with acai, blueberry and maqui berry powders. The most recent addition to the MRP is a fiber blend from acacia gum powder, apple fiber and green banana flour which help increase my
prebiotics intake.
New Ingredients Makes the MSP Hard to Swallow:
Then, in March of 2018, which at that time I still called what is now my MRP, my Meal Replacement Drink (MRD), I came up with the idea of including within my Meal Replacement Drink, the powder from all the supplements in capsules, supplements that I have long been taking by swallowing them with water. By taking the supplement powder out of the capsules and including it within my MRD, this solved a long standing problem of always having to remember to to take my supplement each day. After making this decision to include the supplement powder, I would no longer have to remember to take my supplement capsules each day because I would getting all the health and nutritional benefits from the supplements because they would be included in my MRD (meal replacement drink).
Thus, I implemented my plan, I took all the my capsuled supplements, opened each capsule and dumped the powder into my MRP.
Even though I thought this would be a good idea, adding the supplement powder to the MRD resulting in returning the resulting drink to the Hard to Swallow condition. Methought, What was I to do? When working on my website, updating the contents of this current page of my Living Food Recipes, I realized that there already is a recipe that could use the new inproved, but hard to swallow MRD powder.
That recipe was
A Wayƒarer′s Fudge. So, what I did was to replace two of the then current ingredients: powdered milk and powdered hot chocolate mix; and instead use the new MRD powder mix. In fact, this worked so well, that I subsequently changed the name from Meal Replacement Drink (MRD) to Meal Replacement Powder (MRP).
Some time later, methought that I would add some of my MRP to my Daystart and after trying the f-meal, I said to myself, "Methinks, this is the way that I will continue to acquire my daily nutrition, by adding my MRP to my Daystart every morning." Thus, from that day, every morning begins with a cup of Daystart with now includes a heaping tablespoon of my Meal Replacement Powder.

Supplements Powder Mixes (SPM)
During January 2019, I began examine my nutritional supplements in order to determine which ones will be added to my newest batch of MRP. A year later, with the outbreak of COVID19, I reexamine this mixture of powder for a more potent batch of immune supplements which will take me through much of this year, 2020.
This powder mix, obtained from combining the supplements from capsules into a mixture is called my Primary Supplement Powder Mix will include at least the following basic ingredients in the amount per serving shown:
Grapefruit Seed Extract (1 each 250 mg),
Grape Seed Extract (3 each 100 mg), standardized to 95% polyphenols (95 mg)
Plant Digestive Enzymes (2 each 100 mg),
Raspberry Keytones (1 each 100 mg) and
Wellness Formula Advanced Immune Support (4 each).
However, for my specific health needs, I have also added a secondary Supplement Powder Mix, also obtained from combining the supplement from capsules into a mixture which is called my Secondary Supplement Powder Mix and will include the following ingredients in the amounts per serving show:
Bilberry (1 each 100 mg), standardized to 36 or more percent.
CoQ10 (1 each 250 mg),
Citrus Bioflavonoids (1 each 1400 mg),
Curcumin (1 each 500 mg) standardized to 95% of curcumin
Echinacea and Goldenseal (1 each 200/200 mg)
Glutathione (1 each at 250 mg)
Magnesium chelate (1 each at 100 mg)
In the winter of 2024, I found in a local g-mart, a selection of seven powdered mushrooms, as well as another package of a blend of the same seven mushroom species. Everything that I have heard about mushroom has me believe that there is much healing and nutrition in mushroom species. The newest MRP powdered mix now has seven different powdered mushrooms.

Mung Bean Salad (c. 2014 - date)
|
|
Ingredients:
garlic (fresh, minced), kale (fresh, chopped), mung beans (dried sprouted, re-hydrated), olive oil (extra virgin), onion (green, fresh, chopped), onion (yellow, fresh, chopped), parsley (fresh, chopped), radishes (fresh, chopped), red bell pepper (fresh, chopped), spinach (fresh, chopped),
TWS mix, vinegar (balsamic).
|
| |
1 cup mung bean
|
½ cup green onion
|
½ cup kale
| |
¼ cup parsley
|
¼ cup radishes
|
½ cup red bell pepper
| |
1 cup spinach
|
½ cup yellow onions
|
2 tbsp garlic
| |
½ cup olive oil
|
½ cup vinegar
|
¼ cup spice mix
|
| |
Yield:
Four or five servings.
| |
Preparation:
Place the sprouted mung beans in water to re-hydrate. Keep in the refrigerator overnight. When they are soft when chewed, drain and store in the refrigerator.
There may be many other dried sprouted beans or grains that could be used instead of mung beans. Re-hydrating any other dried sprouted beans or grains should be done until they are soft and chewable, drain and allow to cool in the refrigerator.
| |
Directions:
Chop all the vegetables and mix together in a large mixing bowl. Add the mung beans and mix. Pour the oil and then the vinegar mixture over the ingredients, stir thoroughly and chill for a couple hours. Add the spices to taste, serve and enjoy.
| |
Variation:
Substitute the following as desired:
Add 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil.
You may want to add more olive oil and-or balsamic vinegar.
Add some fresh grated Parmesan cheese on the top before you serve it.
My sister Elise adds sliced black olives and chopped green apples.
| |
History:
The original recipe was developed by the wayƒarer during his tour in the fall of 2014 when he was trying to tweak his recipes for his Living Food diet.
He has tried this recipe only with the dried sprouted mung beans because an one half cup serving has twenty grams of protein and it is relatively easy to re-hydrate to a point to be soft. However, he believes this recipe will work with just about any type of dried sprouted bean as long as it has been soaked long enough to make it easily eatable.

Repast ™ (c. 2013 - date)
|
|
|
The Wayƒarer′s Repast
Ingredients Description:
Atlantic salmon (8 ounce foil pack), bell pepper (red), brown rice (germinated), garlic (fresh), ginger root (fresh), onion (fresh), seaweed (dried and diced from Maine coast), spouted quinoa, water (alkaline spring), turmeric root (fresh),
TWS spice mix.
Additionally, at least two fresh green leafy vegetables should be chosen from the next following list, which vegetable are to be chopped and included in the Repast.
Leafy Greens Vegetables include:
collard greens, kale, mustard greens, green chard, rainbow chard, red chard, seaweed, spinach, turnip greens and possibly others that remain unknown.
Ingredients List:
|
| |
½ cup brown rice
|
¼ cup of quinoa
|
2 tbsp garlic
|
2 tbsp turmeric
| |
2 tbsp ginger root
|
½ cup bell pepper
|
½ cup onion
|
2 tbsp spice mix
| |
¼ cup seaweed
|
2 cup leafy greens
|
4 cups water
|
1 pack salmon
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Preparation Directions:
Wash the vegetables, drain, then chop the leafy greens including the stalks into small pieces. Chop the bell pepper and onions, then mince the garlic, ginger and turmeric, after which, set aside. Rinse and drain the sprouted grains.
Legumes:
Traditionally, lentils and/or mung beans have been a part of this recipe. However, after doing extensive research in 2019 and 2020, it lead me to understand that legumes (as well as whole grains) all contain
anti-nutrients.
Even though sprouting the legumes does remove much of these negative aspects of this food, from my understanding, it does not remove all anti nutrients, which allows these foods to still causes an inflammatory action inside of the human body.
So, because I am still trying to avoid all foods which cause inflammation for the purpose of eating healthier and loosing weight, I personally choose to not eat any and all legumes any more.
Repast Cooking Directions:
Add water and grains to cook pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the grains are almost soft (about ten minutes).
Add onion, garlic, ginger, leafy greens, pepper, seaweed, spice mix, turmeric. Bring to a boil, lower temperature to a simmer and cook until desired softness (two to five minutes). Turn off heat, cover and allow to cool for a couple minutes.
Drain excess liquid into a cup which I always enjoy as a cup of hot. Serve the Repast on a place and cover with the sublime sauce and enjoy.
Salmon:
The salmon can also be added prior to the last boil and cooked with the vegetables or, it can be heated on the grill and placed aside or atop the Repast when served.
|
Sublime Sauce Ingredients:
avocado (fresh), garlic (fresh), kelp (dried, finely chopped), lime (fresh juiced), olive oil (extra virgin), cheese (graded Parmesan), water (alkaline spring),
TWS mix.
Ingredients List:
|
| |
1 avocado
|
½ cup olive oil
|
2 tbsp garlic
|
2 tbsp kelp
| |
2 limes
|
¼ cup cheese
|
2 tbsp spice mix
|
¼ cup water
|
| |
Sublime Sauce Preparation Directions:
Do not cook. Juice limes into pot, add most of olive oil and half the water. Fine chop avocado and garlic, add them to pot and mixing. Add the cheese, kelp and spice mix and continue to stir the ingredients until mix becomes a lumpy liquid which you can pour. Add more water or oil as needed.
| |
Yield:
One or two meals
| |
Variation to Sublime Sauce:
Substitute the following as desired:
1. Add sun dried tomatoes in the final minutes.
2. Replace olive oil with coconut oil.
3. Instead of adding salmon to the Repast, heat a salmon steak in a foil package.
Or, heat a salmon steak in a separate pan or above in an inverted lid.
4. Chop up enough fresh kale, to make two cups of chopped vegetables.
Add to the Repast when adding the garlic, onions and etc.
Instead of fresh kale, use green chard, rainbow chard, mustard greens, or etc.
5. Add a 1/4 cup of coconut oil to the Repast when adding the garlic, onions and etc.
6. Instead of water, use (low or no salt) bone broth.
7. To increase the thickness of the broth, add about a 1/4 cup of green banana flour
or other non grain flour.
| |
History:
Formally named The Wayƒarer′s Rice, the original recipe began during Episode One, by cooking brown rice and adding spices. The Wayƒarer then tried adding other foodstuff to vary the taste and the olive oil never lasted long because it tastes so good. Adding additional grains helped to change the taste too and the recipe has changed often over the years but the main ingredients of rice, spice, onion and garlic has always been the mainstay.
The above sauce is a new addition to the meal, developed in his mind one evening while eating his Repast. He has used soy sauce, hot sauce, mustard and so many other sauces, that he doesn′t remember them all, then one evening he asked himself, "What would make a good sauce?" He thought about each of the ingredients, that had the food that he not only likes but really enjoys to eat. The next time he was at the g-mart, he purchased the avocados and limes, came back to where he was overnighting and began preparing his meal. The sauce for his Repast was to him, sublime.
This is not a side dish but a hearty main course. Skip the pistachio pudding and have a berry bowl for desert.

| |
History:
During the winter of 2014, when researching nutrition and finding out that unsprouted grains, legumes, nuts and seeds all have anti-nutrients which not only block nutrition but also cause other health problems, the wayfarer decides to begin creating recipes using foods which do not have the anti-nutrients. His first recipe is with a variety of roots.
| |
Benefits:
Root vegetables were chosen for this recipe because by growing underground they absorb a great amount of nutrients from the soil. Most have high concentrations of antioxidants, iron and vitamins A, B and C.
Roots are full of slow burning carbohydrates and fiber which make you feel full, regulate your blood sugar, and help cleanse your digestive system. Roots also have low calories and can help loose weight.
There are more than 50 types of root vegetables, which include: arrowhead, arrowroot, beets, black cumin, bulrush, carrots, celery root, dandelion, diakon (white radish), garlic, ginseng, ginger root, horseradish, Jerusalem artichokes, jicama, kohlrabi, konjac, lotus root, maca, mashua, onion, parsley root, parsnip, radishes, rutabagas, shallot, sweet potato, taro, turmeric, turnip, yam, yucca (cassava), water chestnut.

|
(1979) 2 tbsp cumin
|
(1997) 1 tbsp sage
|
(2023) 2 tbsp cardomom
|
|
(1980) 2 tbsp onion
|
(1997) 1 tbsp rosemary
|
(2024) 1 tbsp marjoram
|
|
(1980) 2 tbsp seaweed

(2025) 1 tbsp nettle
|
| |
| |
Yield:
About 1 and 1/2 cups to 2 cups.
| |
Directions:
Choose organic and fresh spices if available, dry and chop. The spices are best finely chopped or course ground. If fresh is not available, previously dried is a second choice, but organic is always the best choice for the best benefits.
Mix all of the dried spices in a large bowl. Store in a shaker bottle. Refrigerate for longer shelf life. If you insert a silica gel desiccant packets in the shaker bottle with the spice mix, this will help keep the spice mix from clumping.
| |
Variation:
For a spicier mix, add an additional tablespoon of cayenne pepper or a half teaspoon of habanero pepper.
You can never add too much parsley. That is what I have always believed but have since come to find out that there is a toxicity level with extreme consumptions.
| |
History:
The Wayƒarer has always enjoyed adding spices when he cooks and on the AT in the year 1978 is when he first began making this spice mix, it included black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic and parsley. That was the original recipe, but it did not take long for him to add another spices to his mix, in 1979, he added cumin.
Although the Wayƒarer loves fresh onions, and when available, he cuts them into his meals, but since becoming part of his spice mix, having fresh onions does not change the spice mix. This is also true with seaweed flakes both which joined the mix in 1980.
Then, after the AT, those in the first column remained the basic blend for many years. In 1990 basil went into the mix. Throughout the 1990′s, he added others including celery seed, mustard, and the Italian spices: oregano, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
By the turn of the millennia, the Wayƒarer′s Spice Mix had come to include all of those seen in the first two columns. Then, in 2013, cilantro was added and finally lemon oil which was added with a new batch in 2017.
In 2015, when researching for something that would help allay arthritis pain, he learned that turmeric was the spice to help take away such pain and it too was added to his spice mix but turmeric was removed from the mix when he discovered fresh turmeric and began using it fresh in his food. However, he later began adding curcumin extract which comes from turmeric.
The Wayƒarer′s Spice Mix is a perfect all round no-salt spice mix which can be added to any food, any meal, any time to improve the flavor and it never gets old. Well, that is with at least one exception, the Wayƒarer′s Spice Mix does not taste good on ice cream.
