Favorite Dish of Pope Francis – Bagna Cauda Recipe

5 Comments

Pope Francis has moved people’s hearts and touched the lives even of the non-Catholics and the non-believers throughout the world.  Throughout his life he has been noted for his humility and concern for the poor.

We wish him a wonderful visit to the Philippines this week.  His Holiness Pope Francis will bring his message of “mercy and compassion”.

In honor of the arrival of Pope Francis I wanted to highlight one of his favorite dishes.  It is Bagna Cauda.   This is a specialty of the Piedmont region of Italy, where his family immigrated from.

Primed Roast Lamb with Roast Squash and Garlic

2 Comments

We love Lamb in our household. Either NZ (where I was born) our Aussie (where I mainly grew up) is great for us. Lamb is a great source of easily digestable high-quality protein that provide all the essential amino acids. Lamb is also high in Iron, Zinc, Vitamin B12 and Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

Serve your Lamb with delicious roasted vegetables and you have a nutritious meal for your family. We also love using the bones to make our bone broth soup.

Primed Sushi of Cauliflower Rice, Spinach, Cucumber, Carrots and Pink Salmon

2 Comments

We love Seaweed in our household. It is a crisp, flavorful snack, ideal in soups, salads, stir-fries and also with Primed ingredients rolled to make Primed Sushi for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Seaweed is green vegetation that’s been marinating in mineral-dense seawater for its entire life, and when you eat seaweed, besides being a good source of fiber you get the best source of iodine (helps keep your metabolism up), plus magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, and tons of other trace minerals that you might be (probably are) missing out on. Seaweed also includes protein, antioxidants and omega-3 fats.

“Seawed also contains a range of indigestible polysaccharides that have the unique ability to bind to heavy metals (like lead, mercury and radium).  They then pass through the gut without being absorbed, and consequently any toxins picked up as they pass through are excreted”. Renee from Planet Organic, U.K.

Cooking is fun. Yes it can be tiring, hot and you sometimes cut yourself, but IT IS FUN!

Cooking is also good exercise. In fact, you can exercise less and get fit simply by cooking and eating the right food. Primed food. My Primed Journey is proof of that.

Filipino Fried Rice – The Primed Version for Longer Life

11 Comments

I LOVE a great Fried Rice. With the right Primed ingredients it can be a meal in itself and something that powers your body and mind all day.

However, with the wrong ingredients and cooked using vegetable oil it will spike your blood sugar levels (and therefore insulin) and can have severe adverse health consequences.

Dr. Cate Shanahan (chief nutritional doctor of the L.A.Lakers and respected author of Deep Nutrition) surveyed hundreds of patients in New Zealand that were admitted to the hospital for a heart attack, and discovered that every single patient that just had a heart attack had consumed foods made with vegetable oils with their last meal before the heart attack…Scary huh! Information from this site.

Filipino Fried Rice1

How about a healthy and nutritious Primed Filipino Fried Rice? One that you can add your own twist to by including local vegetables that suit your budget. Vegetables like Malunggay, Okra and Kangkong can all be used in this dish besides the ones mentioned. Imagine the nutritional value of this version with your Pork or Chicken instead of just plain white rice? Here, you are giving your mind and body high performance fuel.

Primed Scotch Egg with Pickled Cucumber and Ginger on Squash “Rice”

2 Comments

I am always trying to come up with some new cool dishes for my children to enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Well, here is an item that is nutritious, inexpensive, tasty and good for any meal time. It is the traditional Scotch Egg where a layer of meat is wrapped around a boiled egg then pan fried.  Sounds good right?  It is a traditional British recipe that is making a comeback as people look more and more for real food items like their Grandparents used to eat.
