Delicious Turkey Patties -Recipe-

These tasty little turkey patties are one of my go-to foods lately. The majority of my protein comes from fish lately, and while I love fish and feel great when it eat it, it is nice to have variety. I've been avoiding red meat for the most part, and chicken too, because it takes a long time to digest and when you're working on healing your gut and killing off bacterial overgrowth, the last thing you want is food that sits is your tummy too long, or even moves too slowly through it, because that feeds the bacteria and makes your symptoms worse.
I've found ground turkey to be pretty easy for my stomach to handle; I think it could be partly due to the fact that its ground, which breaks down the meat somewhat...its also lean, which, while I am eating lots of healthy fats, I have a hard time digesting really fatty, heavy meat, so ground turkey for the win.
I just wanted to share how I make these patties. It's really super easy, so I feel bad calling it a recipe but whatever.🙂
You'll need just 3 ingredients:

1lb ground Turkey🦃
(I prefer organic because I find it to be more flavorful)
Dried Basil🌿
Pink Salt, or another good salt with minerals
(Again, more flavor, as well as more health benefits)

 Preheat a cast iron skillet ideally, or a fry pan to medium or medium high, depending on your pan. You can add in some avocado oil or ghee or butter but it's not absolutely necessary.
Open the package of raw, ground turkey. You could plop the meat into a bowl, but I don't even bother. Sprinkle the meat with the dried basil enough to cover it with a thin, even layer of basil. Sprinkle on a good pinch of salt.
Pinch off a palmful of turkey , about 3 TBSP I would guess, and rolled into a ball and then flatten. (You can make them smaller for snacking or bigger for turkey burgers.)
Place the patties in the skillet. Let them cook for a few mintues on one side, til golden brown, and then flip them. Don't mess with them alot, just out them in and let them sizzle and when they start looking white around the edges,  peek under one, and of it has a nice crispy brown color and releases easily from the pan, then it's ready to flip. Then cook for another couple minutes on the second side. I often lower the heat for the second side, since my cast iron skillet retains heat for a long time. I usually make about 8-10 patties from 1 lb. of meat.
These patties are so good. For only having three ingredients, they are very flavorful and juicy. Simple, easy whole foods are the best kind of things to eat; your body can recognize everything in it and knows what to do with it instead having to sort through a bunch of junk chemicals and figure out how to dispose of them.
I love to make a batch of these patties and have them sitting in the fridge ready to add to a meal or have something to take on the go. Good for snacking too. They are really yummy with a smear of good brown mustard.
Enjoy❤❤❤

My Fish Cakes Recipe -(Paleo)-

I am trying to incorporate more fish into my diet, and these delicious fish cakes are a new family favorite! They can be made with tuna or salmon, salmon having slightly more to offer nutritionally; high Omega 3 fats, vitamin D, and selenium. (and more!) Fish is so good for your brain and heart, and can improve your mood, weight, and overall health. Interestingly, the selenium in fish helps keep our bodies from absorbing the mercury found in fish! God's good design :) This article  explains that in more detail, if you're a "nerd" like me and love learning about food. Anyway, on to the recipe! Ingredients- 3 cans salmon, tuna or sardines 3 TBS mayonnaise 3 TBS coconut flour 3 eggs 3 tsp mustard 1/4 tsp salt pepper 1/4 cup chopped green onions (1) Open canned fish and empty into med/large bowl. The fish I use has no added water, so I pour all the juices in too, no draining! Try to keep the fish somewhat off to side. Add the coconut flour to the j...

Oatmeal cake, a classic recipe my mom would make when I was growing up. I have adapted it to suit my family's diet; it is gluten free, lower sugar, and I use pecans on top instead of cornflakes. It is so comforting and cozy to eat; the spices are warming and fragrant, and the texture is soft and moist. It is one of my favorite treats, and I'm so thankful to be able to enjoy it again with my family! A nice bowl of oatmeal, with molasses, chia seeds, cinnamon, cashew butter, butter, coconut oil, hemp hearts and soaked/sprouted pecans. I wasn't able to eat oatmeal for years, due to the pain and bloating it caused. But I'm thrilled to say that I have eaten it many times now with zero digestive issues. It's crazy and wonderful and my brain is still getting used to the idea of it being safe and normal, but every time I eat it, my brain gets a little more comfortable with it. I'm not scared, but I can hear my brain saying, "wait...I thought this w...

Energy Work//Christian Perspective

Psalm 66:16-20: "Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul. I cried to Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear. But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me!" I've had several conversations lately about some of the treatments I've received, mostly regarding the NAET treatments, so this has been on my mind... I just have a few things I want to clarify.  First and foremost, I want to make it very clear that I believe ALL healing is by God and for His glory. He alone gives life and breath and power. The Bible tells us this and I believe it is a foundational truth. Another foundational truth is that there is only one way for us to be right with God and that is through His Son, Jesus Christ; through His sacrifice and death on the cross and His Resurrectio...
