Tajadas

September 4th, 2010

Liz writes, “Here is one of my recent attempts at making a local specialty: tajadas, one of the many ways in which plantains are served in Nicaragua. In my vegetarian version, crispy plantain strips are topped with refried beans, soy ‘hamburger’, shredded cabbage, and my homemade hot sauce. Plantains are a staple of the Nicaraguan diet, served at pretty much every meal. As tajadas, they are a lot like nachos and can be heaped with any yummy topping.

“I wrote about tajada night and my homemade hot sauce at Las Frutas de Paraiso.”

Veggie Pesto Sandwich

August 27th, 2010


Liz writes, “This isn’t the most beautiful sandwich, but it was so tasty! My first attempt at baking homemade bread somehow yielded a crusty flat loaf, which ended up being perfect for a serious sandwich. Pesto from my own basil, plus shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, homegrown arugula and a slice of mozzarella: a deliciously simple sandwich!”

To make it vegan, substitute some vegan mozzarella or some avocado!

SLIMALUMA™ is a potent appetite suppressant

August 17th, 2010

SLIMALUMA™ is a potent appetite suppressant. Controlled clinical trials on SLIMALUMA™ have clearly demonstrated that it suppresses appetite.

Have you ever heard of Caralluma Fimbriata? How about Slimaluma? No, well you are probably not alone. If you have you are probably pretty familiar with what is being called the latest fat buster.
Caralluma Fimbriata is essentially a vegetable of daily use in tribal India. Indian tribals chew chunks of Caralluma Fimbriata to suppress hunger when on a day’s hunt. This succulent is used amongst the labor classes in South India to suppress appetite and enhance endurance.

When we eat, the nerves from the stomach send a signal to the hypothalamus in the brain. This is the part of the brain that controls appetite. When the stomach is full, the hypothalamus signals the brain to stop eating. When a person is hungry, the hypothalamus sends a signal to the brain that food is needed.
SLIMALUMA™ inhibits this hunger sensory mechanism of the hypothalamus. The Pregnane Glycosides contained in SLIMALUMA™ by interfering with the signaling mechanism and creating of a signal on its own, seem to fool the brain into thinking that the stomach is full, even when the person has not eaten.
SLIMALUMA™ has also been shown to promote fat loss and weight loss.
This is because SLIMALUMA™ inhibits fat synthesis by blocking the formation of Acetyl Co-Enzyme A and Malonyl Co-Enzyme A, which are the building blocks of fat synthesis.
SLIMALUMA™ also increases burning of fat by the body. This makes more energy available to the body and makes the person more active and lively. It’s a well known fact the muscle cells burn more calories than fat cells. So when more energy is available to the body, muscle cells burn energy faster. Muscle Cells are heavier than fat cells but they are also denser than fat cells. So they occupy lesser space and consequently the person appears more compact and trimmer, compared to before.
Slimaluma is pretty expensive, but you know what? You get what you pay for. With Slimaluma you are getting something that has worked for centuries. I highly recommend supplements with Slimaluma!
