Hello pickle fans,

Below is a recipe for pickles from Picklopolis, based in Portland, Oregon. They make delicious pickles and pickled vegetables! The website is http://www.picklopolis.com/

Their food is available at various stores, restaurants, and Farmers Markets around Portland, and they are available for sale on the website.

Below is one of their famous pickle recipes. I make pickles in the Pickle, Sauerkraut, and KimChi Maker.

Sour Pickles Recipe

Get some vegetables. Pickling cucumbers will do well. Wash them and trim them. Put them in a heatproof container.

Add:
10 black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
10 fennel seeds
1 dill head
1 pinch of dill leaf
1/4 cinnamon stick
1 clove
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch chili flakes
4 sliced cloves of garlic

In a 2 quart pot:

1 1/2 cups Cider Vinegar
1 1/2 cups Water
1/4 cup Pickling or Kosher Salt

Bring to a Boil.

Pour over vegetables and spice to cover.

Let cool to room temperature. Put in refrigerator. DO NOT PUT THE LID ON UNTIL COLD.
They will taste pickley in 2 days. They will be great in a week. Awesome in 2 weeks. They will keep for a long time. Enjoy the Sour Pickles Recipe

Today I made an incredible green smoothie recipe with my new BlendTec HP3A Home Blender. This is a great smoothie for use with a holistic healing program because you get a high amount of nutrients in an easy to digest form.

I used a teaspoon of David Wolfe’s raw cacao powder to give it a chocolate taste. The base of the recipe is two ripe bananas. The ripe bananas have brown spots on them, do not use green bananas!

The next ingredient is inspired by Ann Wigmore’s energy soup. She recommends using alot of sea vegetables such as dulse, kelp, arame, and wakame. These sea veggies contain the most minerals out of any other food. I purchase them from an Asian grocery store market because they are much cheaper than the health food store. I use a heaping handful of sea veggies in the smoothie.

Next up is a little fat to make the smoothie creamy. I use either a half avocado, or a half cup of fatty nuts such as macadamia nuts, cashews, soaked almonds, or pine nuts.

Next up is the protein. The best source of protein are seeds, or algae. I use a blend of hemp seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds. I also use a tablespoon of E3 Live Klamath Lake Blue Green Algae.

The next ingredient is key to making a green smoothie. You need something frozen or cold. For this I use either a cup of ice, or a cup of frozen mixed Trader Joe’s berries.

The last ingredient is the leafy greens. I love kale, spinach, and romaine lettuce. I also like to use sunflower green sprouts, broccoli sprouts, and any other sprout you can find.

The last step is to blend up all ingredients in a 3 Horsepower blender, my favorite being the BlendTec HP3A.

If you need a little extra liquid, I recommend using young coconut water, or herbal tea. Enjoy your smoothie and have a wonderful day!

Hi

I have something I think you’ll be really excited about, I know I am…

Over the last month, Kevin Gianni, co-creator of the Raw Summit has been busy putting together something that’s never been done before.

For those who aren’t familiar with the Raw Summit, it was an online teleseminar event that brought thousands of people together to learn more about raw and living foods.

What Kevin is up to now is even bigger and better…

He’s spent the last month putting together an event called “The Rawkathon.”

This is a collection of candid, one-on-one interviews with 15 of the top raw and living food experts on the planet and it will be broadcast for you to watch or listen to in a few short weeks.

The interviews, from what he’s said, are like no stage presentation or “how-to” DVD you’ve seen before.

Not only do these interviews cover how to stay raw, how to stay motivated, and the best ways to do so, Kevin has also said that they capture the true essence of each expert. Almost like you were there in the room with them as the interview was being conducted.

So when you’re a part of the event, you get to hear 15 amazing interviews that really have never been created before or likely never again.

As with all of Kevin’s events, to get involved, it’s 100% free. It costs nothing for you to watch or listen to these interviews.

All you have to do is register now and you’ll be sent information on how you can be a part of raw food history…

==> http://www.TheRawDiet.com/rawkathon.html

Right now the project is set to release on October 19th and only is broadcast for one week, so I wanted to let you know early.

There is an opportunity to get all the interviews in a digital or hardcopy package at a special price with special bonuses, that won’t be up after the event starts.

So please go ahead and register now…

==> http://www.TheRawDiet.com/rawkathon.html

The natural health experts and raw food doctors featured in this exclusive and exciting event include:

Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Nomi Shannon, Matt Monarch, Brian Clement, Doug Graham, David Wolfe, Jameth Sheridan Dina, Cheri Soria, Victoria Boutenko of the Raw Family, Mike Adams the NaturalNews.com Health Ranger, Viktorus Kulvinskas, Happy Oasis from Raw Spirit, Juice Feasting Co-Founder David Rainochek, Frederic Patenaude, Dr. Rick Dina, Raw food coach Karen Knowler, and more!

Thanks!

Mike Snyder

P.S. In just a few short weeks, this event will be over, so don’t miss the opportunity now!

Hello raw foods enthusiast,

Mike Snyder here, author of TheRawDiet.com Getting Started With Raw Foods newsletter.

You are invited to join me tonight as I grill John Kohler for his secrets to success with the raw and living foods lifestyle!

This is a preview call for the Portland Oregon raw foods festival and retreat. It is called the Raw and Living Spirit Retreat and will be held outside Portland in late August 2008. The website is
www.RawAndLivingSpirit.org

I am very excited to have John Kohler participating in tonights call. He has a very important
story to share with you.

You may have heard of John…

He is the owner of the websites RawFoods.com Living-Foods.com and the legendary message board RawFoodSupport.com

His articles have been published in many natural health magazines. He has been thriving on raw foods since 1995, when he first used nutrition to assist in healing from a life threatening illness.

He will be a featured speaker at a few of the big raw events this summer, including the Oregon raw foods retreat in August, and the California Raw Foods Festival Vibrant Living Expo.

John has been eating raw for over 12 years and is experiencing excellent health. One of John’s goals is to share his story and educate the world about the power of living and raw foods.

Some of the topics that John will be speaking about include:

* Just because its raw doesn’t mean its healthy, a talk that teaches people to judge for themselves if foods are healthy or not.

* Eating the Highest Vibrancy Raw Foods (and being able to afford it)

* Staying raw while traveling (He has traveled the world and stayed 99.9% raw)

* Young Coconut talk - how to open them, what to do, recipes, and a short demo.

* Juicers, Blenders and other Kitchen equipment to make food prep a breeze

I would love if you could join us on the call tonight, Tuesday July 15.

The start time is 9:00pm Eastern, which is equal to 8pm Central, 7pm Mountain, and 6 pm Pacific.

It should last about an hour, and there will be a question and answer session near the end.
