The Truth About Aztec Clay (Part 1) went over the science behind the clay, the different forms of it, and a few different ways to use it externally. Today we are going to go over the benefits of using the clay internally.
When using Aztec clay internally there are two important things you will want to be sure to check:
When life gives you lemons, have them, for they burst with vitality…
They smell great, are a great addition to salads and drinks, are very healthy, but – and that’s a big but – they are hardly the world’s best tasting food. Known and primarily used for their sour juice and bitter-sour zest, lemons can really add a zing to your daily diet.
Lemon, nutritionally speaking
Tomato season is officially in full bloom, and apart from making salsas, pasta sauces and BLTs, bruschetta is another great way to serve up this year’s bounty. This recipe is essentially like a Caprese salad on a crostini, which makes for a delicious afternoon snack or appetizer before any summer meal.
Enjoy this departure from the typically heavy and sugary French Toast! With all natural sweeteners like vanilla extract and bananas, you can satisfy your need for weekend brunch and still feel good about it later. The silken tofu in this recipe helps to add thickness to the batter and a little bit of protein to keep you going. For a delicious treat, top it off with some fresh berries and whipped coconut cream!

Living in a coffee culture means many people miss out on the benefits of green tea, not to mention the many delicious varieties, which is understandable, if you’ve limited yourself to insipid tea inside a bag, attached to string.
America is practically a tea desert. Restaurants and cafes almost never offer freshly brewed loose tea. Grocers sell only a few varieties of green tea that’s invariably packaged as tea bags.
One of the secrets to many delicious Puerto Rican dishes is a Puerto Rican sauce called Recaito and a Cuban sauce called Sofrito. Recaito is one of the main bases to many traditional Puerto Rican and Latin meals, soups, stews – you name it. There are several different variations but today I’m going to tell you about my two favorites!
Traditional Recaito

Condiments are as much a part of our fare as the food itself. Condiments include relishes, sauces like ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise or spicy salsas from Mexico, curries from India and Sriracha, the newest of the condiments created in the United States. They accompany served dishes, are usually found on the table with salt and pepper and can be added ingredients in recipes. They are easily made in the kitchen, adding to the variety.
Hummus is a great, healthy alternative to many dips high in fat and low in nutritional value. Expensive in the store, it is far easier to make than most realize, and the beautiful aspect to making it from home is that you can create and combine as many flavors as you’d like and cater to your favorite variations! Generally what I like to do is make one large basic batch with simple spices and then separate this into several smaller batches with different variations. Spices and small flavorful additions go a long way and you create endless assortments branching from this basic recipe.
Heightened stress, demanding schedules, processed food, and greater sensitivities in today’s modern world have started to take their toll in even greater numbers. This shift can be witnessed by the increase of obesity and disease in our society. The National Health Institute of Diabetes and Kidney Diseases reported 60-70 million individuals a year in the United States are affected by some type of digestive illness.
What I love about this recipe is how flexible it is. Whatever it is you want to add to your scrambler you can simply add and make adjustments. A meat lover could add meat to the equation and the dish would work the same. Sometimes I only use salt and pepper while other times I spice it up. It truly makes a great campfire breakfast!
This one pan veggie breakfast scrambler is incredible -- it’s a hearty meal perfect for an autumn morning.
