Tea leaves are essentially herbs and they can be used as such. You can add the leaves directly to dishes while they are cooking or you can brew the leaves and then chop them up and add them to dishes. Green tea is especially good for adding to vegetable dishes since it tastes similar to dark, leafy greens like spinach and kale. Use them however you would dried herbs such as oregano or thyme. Try adding some green tea leaves to your next tofu scramble, omelet or stir-fry. Mix them into bread crumbs or seasoned flour for dredging and frying foods. Add chopped tea leaves or brewed tea directly into sauces and glazes. Mix it with chopped nuts. Don’t forget to also use it as a garnish.

I had been wanting to make a cheese bread with onion and the day was cool for having an oven on so I did it. Came out the best ever. Ingredients: Philippe's Bread water yeast sucanat olive oil cheddar cheese onion First, I added 1 Tbsp yeast to 1/2 cup warm water and a 1/2 tsp sweetener. Let sit 5 minutes. I then made a sponge via Tassajara bread book To make a sponge – you add more water (1 Cup) add flour (1-1 1/2 cups) and stir 50-100X. Let rise 1 hour. Next you add salt and oil. I added 1 tsp salt and 1 – 2 Tbsp oil. You then blend gently – not by cutting across the dough but by spooning around bowl until mixed. I then added 1-cup cheese and approx. ½ caramelized onion. Added more flour now- maybe 2-3 cups to make a nice dough to knead and then let that rise 45 minutes. After this time, I punched the dough down and added a little more flour so that it was not sticky. I set my oven at 325 because I have an electric oven, otherwise set to 350. I formed the dough into a round and covered with an egg wash. Baked it for 40 minutes and voila! Amazing!! Had some this morning the day after – still very moist. Enjoy... Green Smoothie Popsicles

I just made this and it was so good and nutritious.
Steamed kale by itself - no need for butter or tamari - really tasty! Kale can provide you with some special cholesterol-lowering benefits if you will cook it by steaming. The fiber-related components in kale do a better job of binding together with bile acids in your digestive tract when they've been steamed. See more Kale The toast is homemade whole wheat baguette slices with tahini (raw sesame butter) and then avocado with some salt. Sesame seeds - they are a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and selenium and dietary fiber. In addition,sesame seeds contain two unique substances:sesamin and sesamolin. Both of these substances belong to a group of special beneficial fibers called lignans, and have been shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect in humans, and to prevent high blood pressure and increase vitamin E supplies in animals. Sesamin has also been found to protect the liver from oxidative damage. Avocado - Delicious and Nutritious and so much to say so go see this article Why eat Raw Sesame Butter? Eating raw food is supportive for your body in the digestion process: Enzymes convert the food we eat into chemical structures that can pass though the membranes of the cells lining the digestive tract and into the blood stream. Their job doesn’t end there. Enzymes are the living proteins that direct the life force into our biochemical and metabolic processes. They help transform and store energy, make active hormones, dissolve fiber and prevent clotting. They have anti-inflammatory effects. Enzymes help balance and restore the immune system, and heal many diseases. Enzymes even help repair our DNA and our RNA. I am now living in Texas where everyday the temps are in the high 90's. Don't really want to cook and for sure do not want to turn on the oven.
