C15/40b Cooking changes Everything

September 24, 2015October 7, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Darya Rose originally aired October 6th/15

Cooking changes everything says Darya Rose who is the creator of Summer Tomato.

The quality of time you spend in the kitchen is just the start of how learning to cook without recipes will change your life.

Health is central to the Foodist Kitchen philosophy

Although I have come to enjoy cooking for its own sake, and for the sense of warmth and connection it brings to my home, eating more Real Food and avoiding processed foods is still my top motivation for cooking.

It’s simply impossible to make the best food decisions on a regular basis unless you can cook and prepare Real Food. Foodist Kitchen will support you on this mission and help you build meals based on the Foodist Plate.

Darya is the author of Foodist and creator of Summer Tomato, one of TIME’s 50 Best Websites. She received her Ph.D in neuroscience from UCSF and her bachelor’s degree in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley.

Darya helps people get healthy and lose weight without dieting. Because life should be awesome.

She spends most of her time thinking and writing about food, health and science. She eats amazing things daily and hasn’t even considered going on a diet since 2007.

I’m also a neuroscience Ph.D and the author of Foodist. I recently moved from San Francisco to New York City with my husband Kevin Rose and our insanely adorable mini labradoodle, Toaster.

I spend most of my time thinking and writing about food, health and science. I eat amazing things daily and haven’t even considered “going on a diet” since 2007. I hover about 5-8 pounds below my original goal weight without much effort and am in better shape than I was at 20, which is totally awesome.

In 2010, I completed my Ph.D in neuroscience at UC San Francisco––my diploma is signed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. A little over a year before graduating I started writing about food, health and weight loss here at Summer Tomato, and by the time I graduated I had a new career.

My writing has been featured in several well-known publications and is frequently mentioned by many more. I received my bachelor’s degree in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and was recognized as one of the top students in my graduating class of 2003. I also play Zelda.

As you can see, I’m a total geek.

For 10 years I studied basic science in labs at UC Berkeley and UCSF. I have worked extensively with both human subjects and experimental animals, using a wide range of techniques to explore the basic biological functions of the brain.

Originally my plan was to go into medicine (well, after I switched majors from English literature to biology in my 4th year of college––I graduated in 6 years) because I wanted to help people with diseases of the mind. However, after a little digging, I learned that there were no cures and very few effective treatments for the neurodegenerative diseases I was interested in. I then questioned how satisfied I would be in medicine and opted instead to go into research.

Although many brilliant people are making key discoveries in health every year, ultimately I realized science wasn’t the answer I was looking for either––at least not in the way I had envisioned. This is because in large part the questions I hoped to answer have already been solved.

In my quest to get to the bottom of my lingering weight problems (this was 2006), I discovered a rich body of scientific literature on how to prevent and sometimes cure almost all of the major diseases that plague modern society, including many of the neurodegenerative diseases that got me interested in science in the first place.

It turns out the answer isn’t surgery or drugs, it’s food.

C15/41 An African-American girl Lori Leak Travels To Paris

September 23, 2015August 28, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Barrett Clemmensen Powell aired from October 13th-on

This project is so close to my heart. In fact, Lori Leak is my heart. She is me.

The story we tell ourselves about anything is the reality we manifest in our lives. The effect of that story can be seen in our lives in the reality we create for ourselves. With Lori Leak, I am able to tell a story from the heart about a father-daughter bond, a family, and exploring the world.

Lori wonders why her father didn’t make it home for story time the night before but soon the curious, intelligent daughter of Lawrence and Adelle Leak learns that it was because he was preparing them for a great adventure. Lori and her parents are travelling across an ocean to Paris, France!

This funny, heartwarming story of an African-American girl and her parents exploring the beautiful and charming sights of Paris will make you laugh and feel good. Written from the heart by an intercultural consultant and author Barrett Clemmensen Powell and richly illustrated by award-winning animator Kristen Palana, it is a children’s book keepsake.

Barrett says that travelling for visiting, or living in other cultures is central to my heart. You learn so much about yourself and your origins when you spend time with other other people in their country and culture. Building bridges across cultures and between people is my mission, and travelling empowers me to accomplish my goal.

Books are treasures and I am in deep gratitude that in my lifetime I have been blessed with the talent and afforded the opportunity to create a character who looks like me and a story/book that shows African-American family life. I am especially thankful to my talented and patient illustrator, (and both kindred native New Englander and expatriate) Kristen Palana. gave my story rich and vibrant colours — like my vision.

C15/39a “Time for CHANGE” Vegan Delights

September 22, 2015June 8, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 6 Comments

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy with her guest Danielle Bussone aired Sept 29th-Oct 5th

Danielle Bussone says becoming a vegan was a life-saver for me. A surgeon inadvertently severed a crucial part of my anatomy, creating for me six years of pain and suffering, numerous surgeries and hospitalizations, multiple life-threatening complications, and a few near-death experiences. Discovering plant-based nutrition turned my health around and allowed me to not only survive, but to thrive.

Danielle Bussone’s journey through medical errors and complications devastated her health and nearly claimed her life. In severe chronic pain and disillusioned by the medical industry, Danielle turned to foods to recover her health.

In “Time for Change: Whole Foods For Whole Health!,” Danielle Bussone shows us that becoming vegan is an exciting expedition into a new world of flavors and cultural culinary experiences. Whether you wish to fully embrace a WFPB lifestyle or would just like to add healthy foods to your current diet, Bussone arms the reader with mouthwatering, healthy recipes that will make the inclusion of whole foods easy, delicious and restorative.

In TIME FOR CHANGE – Whole Foods

For Whole Health!, I share my story of injury and recovery and show how creating a healthier, more energetic body can be as close as your dining table.

Coconut Curry With Indian Spices

This dish smells as good as it tastes. The aromas will drive your family and dinner guests wild while they are awaiting this treat. Again, don’t be intimidated by the number of ingredients needed. You’ll use these spices over and over. Measuring them out in advance into small bowls will prevent mistakes. It is easy to forget a spice if it isn’t handy. If you prepare the rice in advance, it will save you some time when you are scrambling to get food on the table. It is also very good served with French whole wheat couscous, which only takes 10 minutes to prepare. It is also excellent served over linguini.

Note that the cinnamon stick, bay leaf, and cardamom pods are for flavor and should not be eaten. Pick the cinnamon and bay leaf out before serving; the cardamom pods will be harder to find so just warn your guests that they are not to be eaten. They won’t hurt them, but the seeds are very fibrous and have a woody texture. Plus, biting into them may give your guests a jolt of cardamom flavor that could be overpowering.

Coconut Curry With Indian Spices

Time: 35 to 40 minutes
Yield: 7 cups, plus rice

Ingredients:

Prepare in advance:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat French Couscous
2 1/4 cups mirepoix vegetable stock or filtered water
2 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, or one can organic chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained

Spice Blend:

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground hot chili powder (You can substitute cayenne.)
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Main Ingredients:

2 cups diced onion (1 large onion)
2 bay leaves
6 cardamom pods
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 can organic coconut milk
6 ounces baby spinach, washed and spun dry
1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half (1 3/4 cups or about 40)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preparation: about 20 minutes

Prepare vegetables.

Transfer drained, cooked chickpeas to a bowl. Set aside.

Set aside cinnamon stick and cardamon pods. Measure remaining spices into a small bowl. Set aside.

Method: 15 to 20 minutes

In a dry skillet, sauté onion with bay leaves, cardamom pods, and cinnamon until soft and translucent, stirring frequently (about 10 minutes).

Stir in ginger and garlic. Sauté 2 minutes, adding a little water a tablespoon or two at a time if necessary to prevent scorching.

Add turmeric, garam masala, ground chili powder, and black pepper. Stir until spices are fully incorporated with the onion mixture.

Stir in coconut milk, tomatoes, and chickpeas. Cook for 5 minutes or so on medium heat until sauce is bubbling and tomatoes have wilted. Adjust spices to taste.

Just prior to serving, remove saucepan from heat and fold spinach** into mixture until wilted.

Stir in lemon juice and serve immediately over rice, couscous, pasta or grain of choice.

*You can cook chickpeas on your stovetop if you don’t have a pressure cooker, though it will take longer. Or you can substitute canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed.

**Don’t over-cook the spinach. It should be added no more than 5 minutes before serving. Spinach becomes a little slimy if allowed to cook for too long. Heat it only until it is wilted.

Note:

In cooking demonstrations, I often substitute couscous for rice, simply because of time limitations. Actually, couscous is very delicious with this dish. Coconut Curry With Indian Spices can also be served over linguini or angel hair pasta. Please refer to my book,Time For Change: Whole Foods For Whole Health!, for instructions on cooking beans, making vegetable stock and much more.

TSM 15/38 How do you “JUST LET IT GO”?

September 20, 2015July 7, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and Chris Williams aired from September 22nd-on with instant listening.

What would you do if someone took your loved ones away from you? Would you want revenge? none would blame you, BUT; how do you forgive. How do you JUST LET GO and let love heal? Chris Williams did, this is his story.

On a cold February night in 2007, a devoted father of four and a seventeen-year-old drunk driver both received life sentences. In one violent, devastating instant, each faced a drastically different and uncertain future. But as Chris Williams sat in his demolished vehicle, staring at the car that had just caused the death of his wife, his unborn baby, his nine-year-old daughter, and his eleven-year-old son, he committed to do something extraordinary: he would forgive.

Chris Williams’ story is the cinematic tale of how a person can forgive despite the retaliatory tendencies that surface within the dark corners of the human heart, showing the world that hope, love and forgiveness can overcome all when you let it go. In addition to the inspirational presentation of Just Let Go, audiences will be treated to an exclusive introduction from radio personality Delilah!

TSM 15/40 Spiritual Emergence with our Elders Teachings

September 18, 2015June 1, 2019Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Grandmother Kaariina Saarinen aired FROM October 6th

Grandmother Kaariina Saarinen M.Ed.Coun. is a holder and keeper of her maternal Grandmother’s Medicine Bundle.

Her greatest passion is empowering the genius of young ones, as well as engaging olders through conversation and ceremonies to step into LIVING LEGACIES and initiations into Eldership.

She has lived three distinct stages of the FUll Wheel of LIfe.
A 15-year career as a guidance counsellor in secondary schools revealed a particular knowingness. Student clients walked amongst family constellations as well as ancestors. In those early professional years, Kaariina realized that she was a seer and had the wisdom to intuit what these youth were not saying! Her rapport was strong and those relationships thrived, developing into a peer counselling programme focussed upon bridging the middle years with adolescent rites!

We live in these uncalibrated times when there are generations so unaware of the potency of thoughts beliefs and words, that actions actually hinder their own liberation as well as the liberation of the genius of their children and grandchildren.

AND we also live in the times of the Spiritual Emergence; a time between times when we can serve as the tipping points as the acupuncture needles and release ancestral and epigenetic traumas from our own biologies and resanctify them; as well as release this earth body

For that I am sure Pachamama and Gaia and Mawu and Mother earth would only heave a sigh of relief rather than continuing to volcanically express shake us up with our earthquakes of awakening or tornado through our midwestern minds!

Congratulations; beloved listeners, you are here and may you be in that time of emergence.

My intention in sharing this broadcast with you all is to inspire awaken and activate genetic codes keys glyphs symbols in your etheric bodies so that you are open to resignaturing your forms your bloodlines your lives…

My name is Grandmother Kaariina; Kaa is the soul body RII is compassion in action and NA is the nothing from which everything comes and to which everything returns.

I am a bloodline shamanka and I have passed many initiations and tests in order to stand for this climate change that begins inside each and every one of our hearts.

I serve as one of 7 abuellas for the Danza de Luna in Costa Rica, and offered a voice for Grandmothers at the eagle Quetzal Condor gathering of wisdom keepers in Sedona Arizona this past April. I bow down to my abuella Marguerita Nuez and my elders including Sequoia trueblood , and our spirit grandfathers: grandfather William Commanda, Gfather Silver Fox, Gfather White Buffalo…..and my blood family! the weather of our minds the climate of our hearts and the reflections in our relationships all of them including and especially with our wild ancestral relatives is what wakes me up in the morning and why sometimes I retreat into the forests along wild rivers along the lakes of our lives and now into the jungles of the solitude times to earth listen….

Welcome to this story and I know your story counts as well@!

My global awareness and my current focus is two-fold: the young ones and the women

Today I share with you testimonials from the young and their calling for elders

their need for sanctuaries their co-creative efforts to reinhabit functional families and hopefully sacred partnerships that include gender alchemy

I also include our current call to women in the world to reactivate the wild heart and that indigenous native spirit of mother nature!

Our next launch is our retreat and new moon offering in North and South Carolina

we are aligned with several other sistars all of whom are offering warrior goddess trainings and womb clearings as well as an attunement to the Thirteen Moons, to rites of passage as women and initiations to an adventurous life!

For all of our relations.
