Healthy Fudge

Healthy Fudge Recipe with photographs

I finally managed to get this up. I wrote a post on the Facebook page with this recipe without the photographs and people seemed to like it. So I decided to post it here with some rather terrible photographs to demonstrate as a slightly more permanent reference.

Ingredients:
200g 70%+ chocolate
300g Coconut oil
35g ground turmeric powder
20g ground cinnamon
5g ground pepper

Directions:
Melt the chocolate and the coconut over a low heat
 Add the powders to the mixture
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Continue to stir over the low heat until the mixture is smooth. This makes about 1pt.
Then Either
Spoon into chocolate moulds or into an ice cube tray
 
 
Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to set
Eat at leisure
Or
Pour onto a flat tray and place into the freezer for an hour
Take out of the freezer and cut it up into even pieces
Put the pieces in a container and store in the fridge

The chocolate you use doesn't have to be a plain chocolate, there are some flavoured chocolates at the higher percentages, it is all down to taste.

An Herbal Perspective on Menopause

  Menopause defined: Menopause literally means ‘stopping menstruation’. The word is made up of Greek meno (monthly) and pausis (to stop). Women won’t know menopause has occurred until a year has passed since the date of the last period—the actual date can only be decided retrospectively. Menopause, then, occurs on one distinct date and is not what most people mean when they describe themselves, or the women who consult them, as ‘menopausal’. The more correct term, the ‘climacteric’, is rarely used; perimenopausal is now the favoured lay and medical term. The peri-menopause is analogous to puberty and the years when the menstrual cycle starts to become established; both are characterised by hormonal and sometimes emotional fluctuations, and menstrual irregularity. Menopause isn’t a disease, it’s a transition, one of the most impactful of a woman’s life. It isn’t something you get cured of and, having other health conditions won’t stop the menopause; if you are diabetic and you bec

Bokashi Bins

My Bokashi bins arrived yesterday (30/10/13) and I'm so excited. I've decided to write a blog about the whole thing because I'm a complete novice at this so documenting the whole experience will hopefully be an interesting read. I personally really, really resent having to throw food away and I'm not overly fond of the idea of it going into landfill. I have a friend who is much more environmentally aware than I am and she's had a set for a few months now and she hasn't thrown any food away since. Needless to say I liked this idea so I bought some. Leeds City Council currently have offers on various composting bin/systems and I bought it via this link: http://www.leeds.getcomposting.com/ What you get: As you can tell by the photo's; there are two bins so that while the first is fermenting the second can be filled up. The bits that come with are: A grille on which the food sits on to allow the liquid feed to collect underneath. A tap to drain the liq

How to Help Yourself after a Cancer Diagnosis; An Herbalist Perspective

Disclaimer: I am an Herbalist not a GP, if you think there is a possibility that you might have cancer then you need to go to your doctor to get checked. I am also not claiming to treat cancer. Cancer can be very scary, the sheer thought of it can bring anxiety attacks on in some people. But every person is different, as is every cancer and cancer has a much higher survival rate than it used to, even 5 years ago. The treatment however can have some truly awful side effects which can make the treatment a miserable experience. There are things that you can do for yourself that will help during the process. The first thing I am going to say is once you have received your diagnosis then go and see an herbalist as we are fantastic at helping with the side effects of mainstream cancer treatment. But then I would say that, I am an Herbalist after all!  Green Smoothie Fasting : This is specific to the day before and the day of the chemo treatment. (And the day after if you ca
