Hey guys! New Recipe. This one is really simple.

Country Breakfast Scramble

You'll need:

Tofurkey Italian Sausage- can be found at Whole Foods or Trader Joes (morning star sausage patties are a great option as well)
Flax, Wheat or Multi-grain waffles
Butter substitute-We like Earth Balance
Agave Nectar (Trader Joes, Whole foods or health food store)
Firm Tofu (you can also use tofu that is already seasoned, we like garlic pepper which nowadays can be found at your local Wal-mart as well as health food stores)
Mixed salad greens
Onions
Tomatoes
Granulated Turmeric (found in the seasoning section-this is what gives the tofu it's egg like color)
Cheese (optional)
Mushrooms (optional)
Red, yellow, green peppers (optional)
Olive oil
Sea Salt
Pepper


Tofu Scramble:

Add olive oil to skillet-on medium heat. Crumble tofu into heated oil (remember:if you freeze the tofu the night before and let it thaw you'll have a more egg like consistency.)
Let the tofu brown.
While Tofu is browning, chop onions and peppers
Add salt to your tofu- taste. Add pepper to taste. Add a pinch or butter substitute. Add your granulated turmeric until you get the color your want (see pic above)
Add onions and peppers, let cook until your veggies soften or you can leave them crisp if you like.
Add your mixed greens last covering the top of the entire scramble, turn your oven eye to low, cover and let the moisture wilt the salad greens.

After about five-ten minutes-remove the top, stir everything together and serve.

Italian Sausage:

I freeze these too, but you don't need to.Slice your sausage into two or three slices with a nicely sharpened knife.put a bit of olive oil in the pan or butter substitute.
Toss in your sausage and let them brown on both sides.

Waffles:
Uh-I'm sure you guys know how to make frozen waffles:) slap on butter substitute and agave syrup.

Grits as a side dish never hurts:)-we recommend Polenta, but the grits you grew up on are fine.

Finally, Serve up your Country Breakfast Scramble and enjoy!

Recipe of The Month

Vegan Safari Chili

You will need:

1 package of beef vegan/veggie crumbles (we like Yves)
Half a package of black beans or 1 cup
wild rice (any type will do, but we like black rice, it keeps the chili "feel") half cup
1/2 red, yellow, green, orange pepper
1/2 yellow or red onion
5 organic tomatoes or 2 cans of organic diced tomatoes
garlic powder (to taste)
Taco Powder ( use less than half or a regular packet size)
Chili paste or powder (to taste-we like a lot)
Sea Salt (to taste)
Earth balance non-dairy butter
Mixed green salad
black olives (optional)
Soy cheese (optional)
Soy sour cream (optional)

I like to freeze my package of Yves "Meat" the night before , thaw and then use it-makes the consistency even more like beef. I also cook my beans and rice the night before or if I'm in a hurry, I sub canned beans (chili, red, white-whatever you chose) and cook rice along with chili and add it last.

First chop onions and peppers. Saute cooked beans, cooked rice, onions and peppers with "butter" adding taco mix together. Set Aside.

Cube your tomatoes and add them to a nice sized pot. Add Yves "meat", Chili Powder (to taste), Garlic (to taste)-let simmer for about five minutes.

Add your bean, rice, onion and pepper mix to tomatoes and "meat".

Now that everything is in the pot, Season to taste (you shouldn't need too much salt:) and let simmer.

Scoop into a bowl and top with "cheese", "sour cream" and black olives and mixed greens. Create a Frito Chili Pie or enjoy with crackers. Remember, be creative and add your own flair!

Have Fun and Enjoy!

Marketing to the unconscious mind

Weather we know it or not, it’s our unconscious mind that corporations, companies and marketing firms are targeting, not our conscious mind. Researchers, scientists and analyst understand the power and influence of the unconscious mind on the unsuspecting and passive consumer. If our spirit is not at the forefront, we are susceptible to the wiles of our unconscious beliefs and behaviors. I ran across the article below, during my research:

Marketing to the unconscious mind
by Aninda Roy at 01:43AM (CST) on February 27, 2005 Permanent Link
USNews.com: Your unconscious is making your everyday decisions (2/28/05)According to cognitive neuroscientists, w e are conscious of only about 5 percent of our cognitive activity, so most of our decisions, actions, emotions, and behavior depends on the 95 percent of brain activity that goes beyond our conscious awareness.
U.S. Patent No. 5,436,830, also known as the Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique is "a technique for eliciting interconnected constructs that influence thought and behavior." From Hallmark cards to Broadway plays, from Nestle's Crunch bars to the design for the new Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, ZMET has been used to figure out how to craft a message so that consumers will respond with the important 95 percent of their brains that motivates many of their choices. How? Through accessing the deep metaphors that people, even without knowing it, associate with a particular product or feeling or place.
Language is limited, Zaltman says, "and it can't be confused with the thought itself." Images, however, move a bit closer to capturing fragments of the rich and contradictory areas of unconscious feelings. Participants in his studies cut out pictures that represent their thoughts and feelings about a particular subject, even if they can't explain why.
He discovered that when people do this, they often discover "a core, a deep metaphor simultaneously embedded in a unique setting." They are drawn to seasonal or heroic myths, for example, or images like blood and fire and mother. They are also drawn into deep concepts like journey and transformation. His work around the world has convinced him that the menu of these unconscious metaphors is limited and universal, in the manner of human emotions like hope and grief (http://www.improvize.com/blog/_archives/2005/2/27/381911.html).


As tempting as it might be to blame, condemn and characterize the companies and corporations as the “villain”, we as Christians and everyday citizens are held accountable once the eyes of our understanding are opened. The bible says “My people parish for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Now through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and tools like the internet, we are made of aware and are not to remain ignorant of the enemies devices (2 Corinthians 2:11).
Using the Word of God, Renew your Mind Daily CD’s will assist people around the world in pulling down the strong holds that have been holding them back and keeping them in bondage for years.

"The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down arguments, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."2 Corinthians 10:4- 5

Conscious Mind vs. Unconcious Mind

Conscious Mind vs. Unconscious Mind

“However, there is not in everyone that knowledge (of Christ); for some, the consciousness of the idol (the world); and their conscious being weak is defiled” (1 Corinthians 8:7).
1. The conscious mind includes everything that we are aware of. This is the aspect of our mental processing that we can think and talk about rationally. A part of this includes our memory, which is not always part of consciousness but can be retrieved easily at any time and brought into our awareness. Freud called this ordinary memory the preconscious.
2. The unconscious mind is a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that outside of our conscious awareness. Most of the contents of the unconscious are unacceptable or unpleasant, such as feelings of pain, anxiety, or conflict. According to Freud, the unconscious continues to influence our behavior and experience, even though we are unaware of these underlying influences.

In today’s society with the stress and strain of our busy lives, we are often consciously and unconsciously bombarded with media, messages and images that may not be productive to our spiritual growth. Running here, going there, hoping for this and striving for that, can make it hard for us to police our thoughts as the bible calls for us to do. As Christians, We often underestimate the power of subtle suggestion, but the bible tells us in Genesis 3:1 that the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field. It is with this knowledge at the forefront of the mission of MIHI International that we have been inspired to create Renew Your Mind Daily scripture and affirmations.

Renew Your Mind Daily scripture and affirmations speak directly to the conscious and unconscious mind to bring them in line with the spirit and mind of Christ. Using Scripture and coinciding affirmations, the listener both reconfirms and internalizes scripture like never before.
