Video: A Garden for the American Spirit

Dear brothers and sisters,

We are convinced that you can do anything.

You took this country out of the great depression and performed miracles of wartime production. For example, in 1940 President Roosevelt shocked Congress when he proposed building 50,000 aircraft a year. In 1944 the nation made almost double that number. Ford's massive Willow Run bomber factory alone produced nearly one plane an hour.

By 1944 America led the world in arms production, making more than enough to fill its military needs and at the same time,  provided its allies with critically needed supplies.

You can do anything.You will guide us in the cleansing and regeneration we so desperately need and build here a garden for the American spirit.                                                                                                                         

May we wish you and family good health, prosperity and success.

Recipe: Raw Vegan Chocolate Pudding – Soy and Avocado Free

recipe image from remote site

Velvety chocolate pudding that's vegan and you don't have to cook! Soy and avocado free

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of raw cashews – soaked in water for at least three hours
  • 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
  • A pinch of ground sea salt
  • ½ to ¾ cups of almond milk or any plant-based milk

Instructions

  • When the cashews are plump and squishy, drain the water and rinse them. Put them in a high powered blender along with the vanilla, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and a half of a cup of almond milk. I have a Blendtec blender and I used the “soup” setting in the “whole foods” section. Blend the ingredients until they’re thick and creamy. If you need to add more milk add it by the tablespoon so it doesn’t become watery. Scrape the sides so you don’t get any pieces of nuts in the pudding. You want it to be perfectly smooth and creamy.

New! Items For October

Macadamia Oil (American Grown) – Alive and Organic

Back in stock after a lengthy absence!

This macadamia oil is produced from macadamia nuts grown by family farmers. The trees thrive in the luxurious fertile soil of the isle of Kona, Hawaii.

Imparts a smooth, nutty flavor to foods. It is quite shelf stable. Has a distinct, inviting nutty aroma. Use macadamia oil for salad dressings, light sauteeing and stir frying – anything you’d normally use olive oil for.

Jujuberries contain a wide array of nutrients, including magnesium, potassium, copper, niacin, calcium, manganese, phosphorus, and iron. They contain 20 times more vitamin C than any citrus fruit, strengthening the immune system and fighting infections, which may be why they’ve been used medicinally for millennia in many cultures, as a tea for sore throat, for example.

The flavors of the nuts and seeds are accentuated by our Hawaiian Native Forest Honey and a touch of maple sugar.
