Fire up the grill and get your taste buds ready for … watermelon! Most people may think that grilling fruit is bizarre but, it actually makes it taste better because it caramelizes the sugars in it. Add the grilled watermelon to crisp lettuce, top with creamy feta cheese and drizzle with tangy balsamic dressing and you’ve got a delicious, unique salad that you’ll make again and again! If you like extra crunch add some chopped pecans. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • Balsamic Salad Dressing
  • 4 oz Feta Cheese
  • Watermelon Cut in 1/2 inch Triangles
  • 1 package of Baby Arugula Lettuce

Directions:

  1. Preheat your grill to a medium heat.
  2. Cut watermelon up in 1/2 inch triangular pieces.
  3. Place watermelon on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side or until you have nice grill lines on your watermelon.

Essential Oil Water

Pin to Pinterest

Since the new year I have gained a few pounds. Gaining wait can be so frustrating and in my case, I don’t know why it came on. To knock off these extra pounds, I am running a few miles after the kids go to school each day and taking in a lot more water, as well as watching my diet. Did you know that when you are dehydrated, your body retains water which actually can make you bloat?

I decide to add some Essential Oils to my daily water intake. Research has shown these oils can add in detox, suppressing your appetite and boosting your metabolism.* Water also does a good job of delaying the next time I eat by making me feel full!


Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a glass jar (I like one with a dropper) mix your essential oils

To Use:

  1. Three times a day place  7 to 10 drops in a vegetable capsule.
  2. Swallow the capsule with water.

This recipe yields about a 7 day supply.

Brown Rice and Seaweed Salad

Traditional Brown Rice and Seaweed Salad – Rice and seaweed is a classic pairing popular in Japanese cuisine. Create your own in this easy to make traditional Asian recipe.

Brown Rice and Seaweed Salad

Brown Rice and Seaweed Salad

Rice and seaweed is a classic pairing popular in Japanese cuisine. Sticky rice and toasted nori are commonly combined to make a variety of rolls, such as sushi. A macrobiotic preparation of rice and seaweed is called nori rice balls with a bit of umeboshi plumb paste placed in the center of the ball.

While all of these preparations are delicious, I enjoy brown rice with hijiki, arame or any seaweed you can find. Though these two mentioned sea vegetables have much more flavor of the ocean than nori. You can find both in most natural foods markets, Asian groceries, or online.

Seaweed is a good source of iodine and minerals. Brown rice is a great supply of dietary fiber, essential for cardiovascular health. Both are low in fat.

Brown Rice and Seaweed Salad

The recipe I am sharing here is very simple to make. It will keep in the refrigerator for a few days. The recipe serves 6 people and takes approximately 20 minutes to prepare with rice that has already been cooked.

To prepare 6 cups of cooked brown rice, cook 3 cup raw short grain brown rice in your rice cooker with brown rice option select. Use the accompanied water guide for brown rice as per your pot or rice bag instruction. If you could soak brown rice beforehand, cooked rice would be more flavorable. Adding a piece of kelp to pot or roasting the rice before cooking would also amplify the flavor too.

Salad of Brown Rice and Seaweed Recipe

Ingredients:


Brown Rice and Seaweed Salad

Directions:

  1. Rehydrate and soften the hijiki by soaking it in a large bowl of cool water for up to 15 minutes.
  2. While the seaweed is soaking, place 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a cold skillet or sauté pan. Add the onions and turn the heat on to medium low. Cook the onions through until soft. This should take 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the onions to cool down.
  3. Drain the seaweed in a colander and squeeze out the excess moisture. Dry the inside of the bowl with a paper towel to remove any residual water left behind.
  4. In the bowl, whisk together the rest of the olive oil, tamari, vinegar, and mirin. Add the rice, seaweed, and onions to the bowl and toss all together to coat everything well. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top just before serving.

The salad can be served immediately as a main or side dish or stored in the refrigerator.
