Olive Oil Oatmeal


Olive Oil for Breakfast... I have started eating my morning oatmeal with extra virgin olive oil drizzled on top with a touch of sea salt. It is very satisfying and you avoid a sugary start to your day. Make your oatmeal by cooking it in water, when it is done drizzle olive oil and salt on top. YUM!

What you say is true. As you suggest I mix extra virgin olive oil with oatmeal and add more afterwards. I use it rather like I would milk. I have noticed an immediate improvement in a very short time with breathing and blood circulation. I wish I had started this years ago.

Promoting a Movement Based Life

Promoting a Movement Based Life You have heard it before; sitting is not good for you! We all know sitting is not good for us but most of us spend our days sitting for most of our day. As clients of Functionetiks you all have a designated time each day that you work on your function. Your individualized menu. This is amazing and makes everything you do for the rest of the day a bit more functional. How functional can you be if you spend the majority of the day sitting? It wasn't long ago in our history of humans that our survival was determined by our ability to move. As humans we are designed to move; we can walk, run, jump, climb, carry heavy objects etc... In the past we did not have to think about it movement was built into our day. Today our modern life dictates that we sit. So I challenge you to change that, think of ways to increase movement throughout the day.  Stand up when you are working on your computer (stand on both feet with weight equal) Sit down on t...

Vegan Lasagna

Vegan Lasagna This is my go to recipe for Lasagna, it is gluten free, dairy free, and meat free. Since it is summertime I made a fresh low cook tomato sauce, in colder months I would extend the cooking time of this sauce to yield a depth of flavor. For a warm summer night this was delicious.  First I sautéed the mushrooms onions and garlic - then I add tomato paste and canned tomatoes. I love these tomatoes I find them at Whole Foods. While the sauce cooks a bit I sauté grated zucchini and frozen chopped spinach until there is no moisture left. To make the creamy filling we crumble organic firm tofu, vegan cheese,onion powder, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, chopped fresh italian parsley,salt and pepper and flax meal eggs. Assembly is next with sauce on bottom of pan, followed with uncooked noodles, cheese mixture, veggies, sauce and repeat. I didn't precook the noodles and it turned out just fine. We did not get a picture of the final product, th...
