A FEW HELPFUL HEALTH AND COOKING TIPS:
Store your grains and seeds whole and then grind them as you use them. Buy a "Cadillac" food processor if you want to, but we get by using a coffee grinder we bought at Wal-mart for around $15.00. Our little coffee grinder works great to grind our flax seed, wheat, and other grains in small quantities as we use them. This way we can store them whole so they won't spoil.
The moment food is processed it begins to decompose, regardless of how it's stored. It is true that many whole grains will store indefinitely if they are whole, unprocessed, and stored in cool, dry and dark conditions. But it's also true that once cracked, rolled, or processed in any way, they begin to break down and spoil or lose nutritional value. We do not recommend that you feed your family food that has been packaged to have a 25-year shelf life.
Seeds are the healthiest food we can eat. Most nutritional experts recommend your healthy diet consist of 45 to 65 percent seeds, which include grains, beans and other legumes and nuts. Most of the rest of our diet should consist of whole vegetables and fruits, fresh or cooked. For good health, we should limit our consumption of meat and dairy foods to no more than about 10% of our daily calories.
Instead of unhealthy processed snacks, why not snack on almonds, sunflower seeds, grapes, carrots, apples and other fruits, fresh and dried?
The way to eliminate our risk of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, obesity, diabetes, and most other degenerative diseases is no mystery. Eating 2000 to 2500 calories per day of mostly seeds and fresh fruits and vegetables as described above has proven to do that.
The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) consists of huge amounts of addictive sugar, fat, oils, and processed foods filled with preservatives, artificial coloring, and devoid of nutrition is at the heart of the majority of our health problems. Eating the Standard American Diet will give your body huge amounts of calories and chemicals and very little nutrition. Eat, store and cook with simple, unprocessed foods and feel great, lose weight, and eliminate your family's risk of most degenerative diseases.
What if we improve our healthy eating by 25%? 50%? 90%?

BBQ STUFFED BANANAS
These barbecued stuffed bananas are so delicious and very easy to make. The secret is to use VERY ripe bananas (they are sweeter but also their flavor works better once cooked).
Ingredients:
2 large or 3 medium very ripe bananas
¼ cup chopped raw pecans OR walnuts
¼ cup chopped raw Almonds
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp ginger
¼ tsp allspice
1/8 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp cardamom
Dash salt
1. Chop nuts fairly finely (it’s okay if they aren’t completely evenly chopped). Combine chopped nuts with spices and mix to evenly coat.
2. Slice bananas lengthwise about three quarters of the way through the banana (careful not to cut the peel underneath). Spread the banana open and fill the groove with the nut and spice mixture. Then drizzle a little olive oil in each one.
3. Barbecue on a medium to moderately hot grill for 14-18 minutes (time will vary based on the size of your bananas and how hot your grill is). The peel will darken (and maybe turn completely black) which is normal. You know they’re done when the peels are dark, the banana is bubbling away and they smell fantastic!
4. If it's to cold to grill, place stuffed bananas on a cookie sheet (line with parchment paper, tin foil or a silicone liner to make clean-up easier) and bake at 425F in the middle of the oven for 12-14 minutes.
5. Remove from the grill (or oven) and enjoy warm! Eat with a spoon scooping right out of the peel!
