Liver Flush: A cleanse for weight loss


Liver Flush:
Great for Weight Loss
  • 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
  • 3 sprigs of parsley
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 2 small oranges peeled
  • 1/2 grapefruit peeled
  • 1/2 lemon peeled
  • 1 to 2 inches of fresh ginger root peeled
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
Instructions: Put 2 oz. water in blender. Start blending the ingredients listed above one at a time in order except olive oil. When all ingredients are completely blended, approximately 1-2 minutes, coarse stain into bowl while stirring with wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. (The clove stem will not breakdown completely, this is fine). Coarse strain means the mesh of the strainer is coarse, about the size of holes in a window screen or slightly larger. Spring water can also be added if it is too thick. Then put back strained liquid in blender, add olive oil and re-blend. Yields about 10-12 ounces.

Drink on an empty stomach first thing in the morning on the days of the liver cleansing. Do not eat anything for at least 30 minutes.

Recipe for Delicious Lumpia


Delicious Lumpia


This is a traditional Filipino dish. It is the Filipino version of the egg rolls. It can be served as a side dish or as an appetizer."

Original recipe yield: 30 lumpia.Prep Time:45 MinutesCook Time:25 MinutesReady In:1 Hour 10 MinutesServings:15

INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground pork
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup minced carrots
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup thinly sliced green cabbage
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon soy sauce
30 lumpia wrappers
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

DIRECTIONS:
Place a wok or large skillet over high heat, and pour in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Cook pork, stirring frequently, until no pink is showing. Remove pork from pan and set aside. Drain grease from pan, leaving a thin coating. Cook garlic and onion in the same pan for 2 minutes. Stir in the cooked pork, carrots, green onions, and cabbage. Season with pepper, salt, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Remove from heat, and set aside until cool enough to handle.

Place three heaping tablespoons of the filling diagonally near one corner of each wrapper, leaving a 1 1/2 inch space at both ends. Fold the side along the length of the filling over the filling, tuck in both ends, and roll neatly. Keep the roll tight as you assemble. Moisten the other side of the wrapper with water to seal the edge. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap to retain moisture.

Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat, add oil to 1/2 inch depth, and heat for 5 minutes. Slide 3 or 4 lumpia into the oil. Fry the rolls for 1 to 2 minutes, until all sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
