Vegan Cooking Demo with Brava oven was lots of fun and delicious!

We roasted beautiful beetroots in Brava oven in just 15 minutes and made 3 yummy dishes: 1) savory beetroot ginger vegan spread, 2) arugula salad with candied beets, shaved fennel and French radishes and 3) flatbread with arugula, candied beets, shaved fennel, French radishes and Moroccan black olives, which were enjoyed by the demo attendees with a glass of delicious French wine, the Les Deux Moulins Pinot Noir!

The savory beetroot ginger vegan spread as a unique holiday gift (Christmas in a Jar), pic. 4 was well received, which we raffled a jar of, in addition to a delicious bottle of Pinot Noir 2014 Coast Grade from Partage Winery.

Ingredients (serving size 6):

6 small red beetroots

1 can Italian butter beans (drained & rinsed)

1/4 cup pistachios (chopped into small pieces)

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1/2 ground cumin

1 tbsp. Meyer lemon rinds

3. Arrange the diced beets on Brava oven tray in all 3 zones, pic 6.

4. place the tray on the bottom section of the oven and roast for 15 minutes using the instructions on the cooking panel: Vegetables>>Beets>>Small (please note: the roasting/cooking time on Brava oven cooking panel is set for the whole small beets, but since these are diced, they’ll cook a lot faster and in a shorter period of time (set up a timer for 15 minutes).

5. Remove beets from the oven and let them cool for 30 minutes.

6. In a food processor, combine roasted beets, butter beans, ginger, sea salt, Meyer lemon juice and the rest of the olive oil. Process until the mixture is, pic 6. 

Spread: Place the mixture in a bowl and garnish with crushed pistachios, a few Meyer lemon rinds and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy your beetroot ginger vegan spread with pita chips, wholegrain crackers, apple or pear slices and carrot sticks or any other fruits and veggies to your liking, pic 1.

Salad : You can also make a delicious arugula salad with candies beets, shaved fennel, French radishes, and crushed pistachios. For salad dressing, just use olive oil and Meyer lemon juice, pic. 2.

Simple & Practical Feng Shui Tips For A Child’s Bedroom!

Enhance Education, Success and Happy Relationships!

Applying Feng Shui to a child’s bedroom creates an inspiring environment that fosters enhanced education, success, and happy relationships with parents, siblings, and others. 

However, before you apply the below Feng Shui enhancements to the bedrooms of your children, it’s important that you bring them into the process. Start by discussing the benefits of a clutter-free, organized and inspiring bedroom environment; and then get their permission and full participation. After that, work together to design short and long term plans for creating and maintaining an inspiring bedroom environment that will empower them to thrive in all aspects of life.

Here’s your action plan for this project:

1.       Remove clutter. Partner with your children to support their efforts to clear jammed closets and drawers. Encourage them to remove toys, games, books and clothes no longer suitable for their age. To make this process simple and most effective, provide them with three boxes, 1) items for donation, 2) recycling and 3) trash. Creating space and visual openness helps your child sleep better and feel much more rested, which will lead them to be happier and more productive.

2.      Teach organization skills and maintenance methods. Provide storage systems, a laundry basket and trash can so that children can easily organize and store items, without having to leave them on their beds, desk’s and floors. These simple and practical measures will inspire and motivate your children to keep their bedrooms clean, clutter-free and organized resulting in fewer chores for you!

3.      Create an inspiring bedroom environment. Make sure there is adequate lighting in the bedroom. Also, bedrooms that are painted dark colors create too much oppressive energy. Bright colors, such as yellows, light greens, soft lavender and pinks are good energy and inspiring color choices.  Add inspiring and motivational posters and art to the child’s bedroom!

4.     Bed choice and placement in the bedroom. Make sure your child can see the door from his or her bed easily, but is not in direct line of the door. Bunk beds are not optimal. Children must have room to grow and the bed overhead exerts pressure on the child below. Because there is empty space below them, children on the top bunk may feel less secure. If possible, try to have a separate bedroom for each child. If this isn’t possible, there are many decorative ways to create division and privacy within a room for each child.

5.      Establish a space for study and accomplishments. Having a dedicated space, including a desk and lamp where your child can study demonstrates to your child the importance you place on education, your child’s success and achievement. Display awards, trophies, and tests with good scores in the child’s bedroom.

6.     Praise your children often. Throughout the transformation process and afterward, praise your children often. The practice of this amplifying self-esteem gesture will make them feel good, loved and appreciated, and will also encourage and motivate them to maintain a clean, clutter-free, organized and inspiring bedroom environment for years to come.

7.     Lead by example for your children. Children are like mirrors, reflecting everything that happens in their environment. The examples you set have a significant impact on their present and future development and aspirations. Keep your home environment, clean, clutter-free, organized and inspirational. 

Have fun with your children and enjoy the process!
