Cleanse with Your Friends – Day 12

April 21, 2010 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

Onion Spread

I’m meeting with the group of women shortly for our 3rd night of Cleanse with Your Friends. We’ve been cleansing around 12 days so far. I hope everyone is still doing well!

Here is a recipe for a dip I’ve made to bring to class tonight. It’s from a book that is no longer in print called “CCNM’s Simply Healthy Cookbook.” This book was put together by students and staff from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2002. It’s a great resource at home for me and I’m sorry that it’s no longer in print. I will share some recipes from time to time to share the wisdom of my peers.

Cold Onion Spread

  • 4 large onions, diced
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • water
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp dill weed
  • salt
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, cook and stir for 1 minute.
  • Add enough water to cover the onions
  • Add the bay leaf, dill weed and salt according to taste
  • Cover the pan and cook at medium-low for 35 minutes, or until onions are cooked.
  • When onion is tender, uncover and increase temperature to medium-high. Allow onions to cook until they turn a golden-brown (mine didn’t turn colour but I cooked it until a lot of the water evaporated
  • Remove bay leaf
  • At this point I decided to blend it with my hand blender.

Eat hot as a side dist or cold as a spread on rice crackers or cucumbers and carrots.

Strength People used to tell me I was so strong. Strength 

People used to tell me I was so strong. 

But to me it was just getting up and putting one foot in front of another. 

I did it for my kids. And I also did it for that tiny flicker of hope that was inside. That hope that things would one day be different and I would feel better. 

Lately I’ve been needing that strength again. 

These uncertain times. The unpredictable nature of our everyday lives has been taking a toll on my mental health again. 

Again I need to turn to that tiny flicker of hope. That one day things will be different. 

You are stronger than you think. You are.
Picky Eater Tip Choose a fun way or container to Picky Eater Tip

Choose a fun way or container to serve the food. 

Here we did a tea party for lunch on my grandmothers china. 

When they were younger I would use ice cube trays and put little nibbles of food in each hole. 

What about a picnic on the floor? 

How about eating breakfast for dinner? 

What about a bowl sandwich? All the good stuff without the bread?

Sometimes switching up the environment or what they are eating on can help. 

Save this for later to remind yourself to switch things up. 😊
This is what everyone tells us. In the middle of t This is what everyone tells us. In the middle of the night... those days feel REAL long.
I’m feeling such gratitude right now. I’m so l I’m feeling such gratitude right now. I’m so lucky I love what I do. I’m so fortunate to have amazing women trust me with their fertility, their health, and then their baby’s health. 

During this past year of fear and uncertainty, many people have turned to gratitude practices to cope. 

🙏🏻

Research shows that when we express gratitude, our brains release dopamine and serotonin - happy hormones.

🙏🏻

Other studies have shown that people who have regular gratitude practices are healthier, happier, and have better relationships. 

🙏🏻

Why not add this to your morning or evening routine? Write down 3 different things you are grateful for. And if you want more support for your mental health, I’m here for you. I’ve got many natural tools in my toolbox to help. 

I’m here for you.

I polled my mom tribe (link in bio if you want to I polled my mom tribe (link in bio if you want to join us on Facebook), and asked them what they want more of in 2021.⁠
⁠
These moms want more health, laughter, love, and money. But most of all, they want more joy. ⁠
⁠
This past year saw a rise in more mental health issues. 50% of Canadians reported their mental health worsened. 1 in 10 said it had worsened "a lot" because of Covid-19.⁠
⁠
So, of course you want more joy. ⁠
⁠
How are we going to get it?⁠
⁠
I'd like you to find 10 minutes in your day. 10 little minutes to plug into your joy. Your first day you can write down the things that used to bring you joy or that currently do. The next day you can try one of those things. ⁠
⁠
What little thing can you do tomorrow that will bring you a little joy?⁠
