Carrot Ginger Juice & Interview with Joe Cross [Video]

I have the easiest carrot ginger juice recipe for you, plus my interview with Joe Cross.  Remember when we watched Joe juicing his way across the United States in Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead?  That is the very movie that started me on my own juicing journey, determined to put my own autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s) in remission.  Which, I say ecstatically it has stayed in remission for years now! I interview Joe Cross below and will also share the best green juice along with the carrot ginger juice.

Below: My interview with Joe Cross

Joe Cross and I talk about our autoimmune disease and how nutrition from raw plants can be so powerful in helping to restore the body.  I myself developed the autoimmune disease, Hashimoto’s from toxic mold exposure, and Joe Cross has Urticaria.  Both of our autoimmune diseases are in remission.  Joe’s juicing experiment proved the right food can help restore health.


Now onto the carrot ginger juice recipe!  I use the Nama Juicer and it’s also the juicer that Joe Cross recommends.  For 10% off the name juicer, use my coupon code at check out which is EATPRAY.

Fruit Roll-ups (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

I interviewed Supermodel Carol Alt recently and she has inspired me to eat more “raw” foods.  These fruit roll-ups are Kaufmann Diet friendly and are an interesting way to get more fruit in your diet.  Carol looked like the picture of health but privately she was crying out to God for answers to her failing health.  Be sure to read my interview with her, it’s eye opening to the healing power of raw foods.

Kaufmann 2 Diet (Kaufmann Phase II)

Eat Pray Get Well (2nd edition) is now on Amazon as well as some retail stores and right here on my website.

Cauliflower Soup (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

This cauliflower soup (Kaufmann diet friendly) recipe was sort of an accident.   We returned home from vacation tired and sick from airport and vending machine food.   Unbeknownst to us, the airport would be our home for the next eight hours due to a delay.   This particular airport was so small there were no restaurants inside, only a vending machine and bodega type store.  So we fueled up on plenty to ease the boredom!

The next morning,  exhausted from the trip, the last thing I wanted to do was go food shopping.  I scouted the fridge and cupboards and I saw a head of cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, and chicken bone broth.  That was going to have to be dinner since I was set on staying in and relaxing.   I knew it would taste much like broccoli cheese soup (which we love), so I wasn’t worried.  Everybody loved it!

Kaufmann 2 Diet (Kaufmann Phase II)

Television

My interview with Doug Kaufmann on Know the Cause.  We discuss mold related illness such as asthma, sinus infections and more.


Mac & Cheese (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

I loved how my white queso dip recipe turned out, so I kept imagining it tossed with a gluten-free pasta. This Mac & Cheese made with chick pea pasta was even better than I expected.   If you are like me, and nachos are one of your favorite comfort foods, then I think you will enjoy this recipe.  If you are following the Doug Kaufmann Diet, this would be considered just fine on Kaufmann 2 or Phase 2.

Forget the unhealthy boxed version of mac and cheese and join me as I show you how to make chickpea mac and cheese.  This recipe has just the right amount of spice and the added tomatoes and jalapenos just take it to another level. 

While the boxed version of mac and cheese has almost no nutritional value, this version will provide you with a substantial amount of protein and fiber from the chickpeas, (it also has fewer carbs than regular pasta) as well digestive benefits from both the chick peas and the coconut milk.  If you like cherry tomatoes, add in plenty for even more of a nutritional boost.

What You Will Need To Make Chickpea Mac and Cheese

  • 1 box of chick pea pasta or any gluten free pasta of your choice.
  • 3/4 cup organic shredded mozzarella cheese – mozzarella cheese helps keep this a low calorie queso
  • 3/4 cup organic shredded gouda cheese
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk – using light coconut milk will make this a low calorie queso
  • 1 tbsp grass fed butter
  • 1 tbsp good quality salsa – I used 365 hatch chili salsa
  • 1/2 tomato chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 tsp or more cilantro – save some to sprinkle on top
  • Dash of garlic powder
  • 3-4 drops of Cholula hot sauce – Don’t skip this step, it gives it great flavor and don’t worry this does not make it too spicy
  • Pickled jalapenos jalapeno peppers

How To Get Started

Boil water and cook pasta as directed on the box. While pasta is cooking you can start on the white queso.  Directions below.

 

Instructions For Making Easy White Queso

  • Melt butter in saucepan
  • Add coconut milk and cheese and melt on medium heat
  • Add all other ingredients.
  • Top with cilantro, tomato, and jalapeno
  • Feeds two people. Double recipe for more.
  • Pairs perfectly with corn free tortilla chips or toss with your favorite gluten free pasta for mac and cheese

Putting it all Together

Simply toss the pasta and queso cheese together and top with cilantro, tomato, and jalapeno.  This recipe is just fine if you are following Doug Kaufmann’s diet and would be considered Kaufmann 2 also known as Phase 2.  For more Kaufmann diet recipes, check out my recipe section.

Do Valencia Peanuts Have Less Mold (For the Peanut Lovers)

Why do we care about Valencia peanuts?  If you searched “Do Valencia peanuts have less mold” than you already have an inkling about how just how moldy peanuts notoriously are.  They not only contain mold, but the poisonous mycotoxin you are eating with the mold is called aflatoxin.  Alfatoxin comes from aspergillus mold and according to cancer.org is group 1 carcinogen.  That means aflatoxin is a known human carcinogen.  So this is where Valencia peanuts enter the picture.  Do Valencia peanuts have less mold, and is there a such thing as mold free peanut butter?

Valencia peanuts are mostly grown in New Mexico and because the climate is dry and they are grown in bushes above ground, they are less susceptible to aflatoxin.  However, mold can grow on any peanut that is not stored properly or when exposed to moisture.

Read on and I’ll share some interesting facts about peanuts as well as what brand of Valencia peanut butter is best and why Valencia peanuts have less mold.

Alfatoxins Explained

As mentioned above, aflatoxin is the mycotoxin (mold poison) of the mold Aspergillus.  Unfortunately, they can be found in our food supply and especially in corn, wheat, and peanuts.  The mold mostly forms due to wet and warm growing conditions and/or bad storing practices.

Many types of mold can grow on our food supply but Aspergillus really came to our attention due to its carcinogenic, toxic nature.  Aspergillus also become front and center in the 60s when over 100,000 turkeys mysteriously died.  The cause turned out to be Brazilian groundnut meal affected by Aspergillus flavus.

Are Valencia Peanuts Aflatoxin Free?

As I stated above, Valencia peanuts are generally known to have lower levels of aflatoxin compared to other peanuts. However, it is not guaranteed that Valencia peanuts are completely aflatoxin-free, as the presence of aflatoxin can depend on various factors such as climate, storage conditions, and processing methods.

Aflatoxins are harmful to human health.  They not only cause cancer but can also cause systemic fungal infections.  Aspergillus, the mold responsible for aflatoxins, is also sometimes found in people who have chronic sinus infections.  Check out my article titled Sinus Infections from Mold (From Someone Who Had 4 Sinus Surgeries).

 

How Mold Almost Destroyed My Life

If you are trying to eat an antifungal or candida diet such as the Kaufmann diet, check out my article What Can I Eat?  If you are also curious as to what health issues mold can cause.  I explain my decades long journey to get well after being exposed to toxic mold in my television interview below on Know The Cause with Doug Kaufmann.

Subscribe to my YOUTUBE channel so you never miss the videos that aren’t on my website!

Does Organic Peanut Butter Have Mold?

Organic peanut butter, like any food, has the potential to contain mold if it has not been stored properly or has been exposed to moisture. However, reputable manufacturers of organic peanut butter take precautions to prevent mold growth, such as using high-quality peanuts, storing them in dry conditions.  Make sure you buy a certified organic brand with Valencia being the best choice.

Once you get your peanuts home, store them in a cool, dry place and to consume them before the expiration date. If you notice any signs of mold on your peanuts, such as green or blue patches or a musty smell, discard them.

What Nuts Have the Least Mold?

In general, almonds and hazelnuts have been found to have lower levels of aflatoxins compared to peanuts, pistachios, and walnuts. However, it is important to note that even within a particular type of nut, there can be variations in aflatoxin levels.

Which Peanut Butter is Best?

I don’t eat peanut butter too often but when I do, it’s always either Trader Joe’s Organic Crunchy Salted Valencia Brand or Pacific Beach organic Valencia Peanut butter.

Peanuts Often Contain Mold and Cause Allergies

Remember that people who have life-threatening allergies to peanuts should not eat any type of peanut or peanut butter.  Some are of the thought that it’s the mold poisons itself that cause the allergic reaction more-so than the immune reaction to the food.  Because all nuts (and legumes such as peanuts) could possibly contain mycotoxins, it’s safer to not eat any at all when you have serious allergies.

  • Place all flours and salt and pepper and mix in a separate bowl.
  • Cut the green tomatoes about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Fully submerge tomato slice in the egg, then in the flour, then once again into the egg mixture and flour for a second time.
  • Place parchment paper over a baking sheet and grease the paper well. Add more salt and pepper before placing in the oven.
  • Bake for 20 minutes and turn them over half way through baking. You can also fry these in coconut oil. I have made them this way as well and it's delicious.
  • Slice cheese in 1/4 inch slices and place between tomatoes AFTER they come out of the oven. My husband loves to put either a sugar free balsamic glaze or pimento cheese spread on his. Enjoy!
