Why I MUST drink this TEA every morning!

OUR MORINGA TREES I conducted a small experiment last week and I made myself the Guinea Pig. I have been drinking Moringa Tea on and off for a few months and I decided to take a week off just drinking my regular green tea instead. During that week I could feel the changes in my body. First, I was lackluster to say the least. I struggled to get out of bed each morning and when I did reluctantly roll out, I was in no way motivated to do my one hour walk. I just wanted breakfast, yes I was famished, every single morning, hungry like a dog- crazy eh? Yesterday morning I woke up at 5:00 am,, went to the kitchen and resumed my Moringa regimen. Immediately I felt the effects, my energy perked up, I ate a banana, went on my walk and after my one hour walk, I came home still not hungry. It may be mind over matter but I don't mind. I find that when I drink it regularly I do not need my allergy medicines or my albuterol (for asthma), I really just don't get sick. It is my resolution

Delicious Bitterness!

Cooking with Bitter Melon ( Momordica Charantia) One of my favorite TV show is the Food Network's "Chopped". The basket intrigues me and the chefs' response to a challenging basket and a ticking clock is nothing short of dramatic. On one episode the chefs were challenged with the Bitter Melon, an ingredient I grew up knowing as "Foo Gaw". The Bitter Melon is from the same family as the Jamaican herbal tea Cerasee and has an equally acerbic taste as the dreaded tea that we would have to drink whenever we had a bellyache or needed some form of "washout". Anyway, back to "Chopped", the Bitter Melon bowled over a few of the chefs who had no idea how to cook it. One chef just sliced it up and put it in a salad, I felt sorry for the judges who would have to taste that because I am all too familiar with its taste. Needless to say, that episode brought back memories of my father and his love for the bitter melon and how much that influence

What to do with all those HOT Peppers!

My love affair with hot peppers is no secret. I have written about it and I have been subject to many "cuss off" because I use too much when I cook. Recently, we acquired the Chocolate Scotch Bonnet plant and the tree has been bearing out of control. Below is my mostly unedited video on how to quickly use excess hot peppers. Below is my original blog post about my lover. ENJOY and your comments are welcome. UPDATE: I now have a chocolate habanero plant and I must admit that it is very very HOT! NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP! Originally Posted: May 2, 2011 My recent Lenten sacrifice had me thinking about the things that I would and would not give up for any period of time. I mentioned chocolate in my previous post, the other would be hot peppers, raw, not processed, just sliced and devoured. At least 1-2 fruits a day, on everything. Yes, I love my peppers and Scotch Bonnets are my favorites. We had one plant that perished in the cold spell, so for a few
