I have been experimenting with ways to beef up my taco salad. Whether you are starting with fresh ingredients or left overs, I came up with a salad that is quick and fulfilling.

1 lb. of ground turkey, chicken, or beef or whatever meat you have on hand

3 tbs of water

1/3 cup of diced onion

1 cup cooked brown rice

1 can of black beans

1 cup of cooked whole kernel corn

Favorite salad mix

Taco or Mexican style shredded cheese

Can of diced tomatoes

Sour cream

Tortilla chips, crushed

Flour tortillas

Russian dressing

1 packet of taco seasoning

Fully cook meat in a skillet with 3 tbs of water over medium high heat. The water helps to draw the fat out of the meat. Drain, return to skillet,  and add taco seasoning according to the packet. Add onion.

While meat is cooking place flour tortillas in foil and place in oven to warm.

Once meat is cooked and seasoned, remove from heat. In medium size "cereal" bowl place a flour tortilla. Scoop a desired amount meat, beans, corn, and rice into it. Then add your cheese, salad mix, tomatoes, and crushed tortilla chips. Top with a dollop of sour cream and drizzle with Russian dressing.

I like to lightly toss it inside the tortilla. I use a fork to start eating the salad, and then when it is at a manageable size, I just pick the rest up in the tortilla eat it. This meal is very filling and can be varied in so many ways. Hope you have fun with this one...

In our last blog we discussed what cancer was, where it came from and that everyone of our bodies has fought cancer at some point in our lives. So the Questions I left you looming with were:

How do you prevent this common mutation from getting to the point where it is cancerous? What else can be done other than radiation? What does radiation do the body? How does mangosteen fit into the picture?

Prevention:

In the U.S., we are not proactive, but reactive when it comes to our health. We go to the doctor when the pain is unbearable, once our family members force us to go, or when we are in need of emergency assistance. Yet, if you tell someone to eat better, supplement, and exercise, its excuse after excuse that hangs in the sound waves.

Next to diet and exercise, supplementation is one of the most important thing we can do to assist our body in its daily battle against free radical damage as well as cellular mutation.

There are foods that can strengthen the immune system. Fiber, grapes, vitamin c,  cabbage, kale and other green and leafy vegetables, as well as the mangosteen. These foods are just a microscopic list of an enormous group that all contain anti-oxidal properties and other phyto-nutrients that are essential to giving your body the things it needs to stay on top of its auto-immune game.

Radiation:

Radiation has become a standard form of treatment with many forms of cancers. There are both internal and external forms of treatment. The basic idea of radiation is to kill the cancer cells by using a machine (external) or an implant (internal) to send small doses to the affected area to kill cancer cells.

Alternatives to Radiation:

 Preventative measures should be number one. In our modern society with all the research that has been done, the three most prevalent answers are chemotherapy, drugs, and of course surgery. However, supplementation, diet and exercise are promoted by the American Cancer Society as alternative or complementary to traditional treatment. Manual healing and touch therapies are also available.

This the way I see it. We are organic. It is easier for our bodies to consume those things that are natural and organic than to consume things that are unnatural and synthetic. Our bodies were made to recognize a substance break it down and deliver it to the necessary areas. When we consume products that are not recognizable to the body, our bodies have to work twice as hard to find the necessary vitamins, nutrients, and minerals, and dispose of the left over trash. Because this process takes a lot out of the immune system and its contributing parties, it breaks down and does not function to the best of its abilities.

I am in no way saying that mangosteen or any other supplement is a cure to any disease. Supplementation gives the body the jolt and fuel it needs to keep going strong. It is a key and essential part of our lives in order to reach the ultimate form of health. Especially in a world that has so many factors fighting, opposing, and promoting  an unhealthy lifestyle. Take the time to discuss with your health practitioner what the best supplemental options are for you.

Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness.

Hippocrates, Father of modern medicine

Cancer has become a household word. So many people have it or knows someone that has it. So many people are fighting it. So many doctors and foundations are trying to find ways to get rid of it. However with all this awareness that cancer is out there, many of us do not even know what "cancer" really is.  Where it comes from? Or, how we end up with it.

Cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.

Cancer is a generic term for over 100 different types of cancers that attack different parts of the body. Under the umbrella of cancer there are 4 main categories for this disease:

However, did you know that almost every person in their lifetime can acquire cancer and not even know it?  YES! As our bodies' cells divide  there may be a cell that mutates in the process. These cells are then immediately attacked by the immune system with a method called apoptosis. Although in unknown circumstances the rapid of mutated cell growth outperforms the metabolic forces of killing the cells. Thus, cancer is born.

(This is a picture of apoptosis.) 

To date, being able to test for this mutation in its beginning levels is not possible. So how do you prevent this common mutation from getting to the point where it is cancerous? What else can be done other than radiation? What does radiation do to the body? How does mangosteen fit into the picture?

Keep watching for part two of this blog for the answers...

With Halloween fastly approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to share some of the recipes that I like making with my kids.

Haunted Taco Tarts

1 TBS. vegetable Oil (to make it more healthy use olive oil)

½ cup chopped onion

1 clove (minced) garlic

Oregano, chili powder, onion powder and salt to taste or just use your favorite taco seasonings

Ground turkey ½ to a pound

½ cup chopped tomatoes

¼ cup diced red, green, and yellow bell pepper mix

½ cup of the cheese of your choice

1 (15 oz) package of refrigerated pie crust

1 egg white

Halloween Cookie cutters about 3 inches in diameter

            Preheat oven to 375 F

            Lightly grease cookie sheets and Prepare Egg Paint and set aside

Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat (water can be substituted for oil and it helps draw out the fat in the meat). Add onions, turkey, garlic, oregano, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and peppers to skillet. Cook until no longer pink.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out crust. Cut out pairs of desired shape. Place on cookie sheets and brush edges with egg white. Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture into the center of the shape. Add a sprinkle of tomatoes and cheese and top remaining shape together to form a pocket. Press edges together. Decorate with egg yolk paint and bake 10-12 minutes or until brown.

Makes about 14 tarts.

Egg Yolk Paint (see below)

            4 egg yolks

            4 tsps. Water divided into 4 small containers

            Red, yellow, green and blue liquid food colors

Place 1 yolk (each) in 4 small containers. Add 1 tsp to each as well as a few drops of food coloring to each and beat lightly.
