sorry if i am late with my reply…..i’m a newbie to this lovely portal of positive communication…… A writer my self, i hope none are offended by my method… 🙂
Food is one of the “basic necessities” for the physical earthlingly vessel. The physical vessel is the means by which we are able to manifest – densely- our soul’s energy and thus affect the harmonics of our ALL at one of the densest, most “primal” energy vibrations. That being said, as food is essential to the longevity of such “fabulous soul play”, it is by our very nature used in ritual and spiritual practises, it is vital in fact to the very practise of our beingness and thus our univeral family personal legend, or raison d’etre. Globally what we need recognize is simply – the aforementioned. With the awareness of TRUTH, more respect for our vessels and that which we put into these vessels follows naturally. As of course does taking better care of our vessels of soul, our physical manifestation of our divinity, that which provides for our TRUTH of BEingness, a portal to affect change in the most fundamental of levels, at least to our current knowledge of our existence, anyway…..
As for my personal eating habits, i am vegetarian, not vegan mind you, i eat cheese, although not eggs, unless they are cooked into something i am ordering….. i was a fish eater up until approx. 6 months ago….. i gave up all other meats 15 years ago and it took me that long to give up all meats completely……..re: fish.
my favourite foods……… i used to love love love sushi……..now………not so much…….never was a lover of the veggie sushi…. when i was really young my favourite of all was MEAT Lasagna with IBS, Lactose intolerance, and a variety of other digestive sensitivies, i rarely eat pasta and most carbs i do eat are veggies, fruits {although not too often}, cereals and rice. i love chocolate and sweets, so i indulge in low fat and fat free frozen yogurts and chocolate raisons……items to satiate my sweet tooth but not my fat cells, n’est pas? i eat to satisfy not satiate to complete fullness, the feeling is simply too heavy and uncomfortable to my being….. we are LIGHT BEings and thus we should FEEL Light………….. i eat a lot of “natural state” foods, such as nuts & legumes, as well as treating myself to various styles, such as indian, thai, and the like, filled with healthy, fibrous, natural foods that are good for your internal system, from nutrients to detoxifying…. thus as i am assured you have surmized, the biggest things i look for when choosing that which i shall ingest into my vessel, are those things that are the healthiest for my over all being, from protein/fat/carb basis to calories, ingredients, nutrition and fibrous contents….. these are all important to take into consideration when choosing what you shall be using to provide your vessel the energy it requires to brilliantly illuminate our soul’s within…………….
okay, so i am not exactly mama chef, to the chagrin of my son, however i can provide a great combo of ready made products………… okay first you take a package of veggie meat balls, a box of teryiaki veggies, shove them all into a big cook pan, and add whatever herbs, and extra veggies you would like, as well as sauces of course, and heat and eat……. add rice to complete a FULL meal – carb/fat/protein…… very yummy!!! otherwise, i have found ordering is always a sure fire way to get a great recipe!!! ha ha 🙂
oh and one of my son’s favourite meals, veggies cut up, raw, and various dips, humous, babganoush, tzaziki, and the like…… it’s quick and easy and fulfills all your nutritious requirements…….
blessed may you all be angels divine within the embracing light of peaceful loving serenity,
