The Healthy Happy Hour

I’m Dr. Terri Truesdale and Welcome to The Healthy Happy Hour, a podcast for Christian women, where you become empowered to take back your health authority! Who knew a happy hour could equip you with the wisdom to walk in health and wellness as God intended. As we know, in warfare, battles are fought for various reasons, on different fronts or locations, and with varying levels of intensity. The same is true in spiritual warfare. On a daily basis as Christians, we are in a spiritual battle of some kind. Even though we cannot physically see the attacker, our spiritual warfare and battles are real.  2 Corinthians 10:3-5: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not [a]carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. To understand what we are up against or deal with on a daily basis, we can learn on how the battles are fought, how they impact our lives on a daily basis, and how to engage in the spiritual battles and experience victory.  We tend to see our problems and struggles in physical terms as non-spiritual. And because of that, we tend to seek non-spiritual solutions…we deal with things in the natural on our own.

Who has tried a "London Fog"?  From the Healthy Maven website: For those of you who don’t know, a London Fog is an earl grey tea latte with foamy milk and vanilla. The most important factors are these: The right kind of tea- good quality Earl Grey Tea is essential. It adds that bergamot flavor that is quintessential for a London Fog. You could also reach for lavender earl grey which is a nice variation. Hot, foamy milk – you can use whatever kind of milk you like but I prefer almond or oat milk in my lattes Vanilla – Starbucks uses their pumps of vanilla syrup but vanilla extract will work just fine. Sweetener – you can opt out of sweetener but I do find a little bit of raw honey builds out the flavor of this London Fog  How to Make a London Fog Make the Tea – Boil water in a kettle. Steep your tea bag in 1/2 cup of hot water for 3-5 mins (depending on strength preference) Froth Your Milk – Mix together almond milk and vanilla extract and steam or froth depending on what tools you have.* Sweeten – Stir sweetener in with steeped hot tea and top with frothed milk. *If you don’t have a milk frother, heat up milk on stove top. It won’t get foamy but it does the trick! Link to her site: https://www.thehealthymaven.com/how-to-make-a-london-fog/

I’m Dr. Terri Truesdale and Welcome to The Healthy Happy Hour, a podcast for Christian women, where you become empowered to take back your health authority! Who knew a happy hour could equip you with the wisdom to walk in health and wellness as God intended.   Today we are going over The Laws of the Harvest. These spiritual laws are as definite as the laws God made for us here on earth– like the law of gravity. You can count on that law when you are facing a cliff edge, or your footing slips while on a roof. You KNOW what to expect! The same expectation applies to our choices. We usually think of this in the negative sense. We think of paying the consequences for sinful actions or foolish choices, but the laws of the harvest are not just negative. These laws are also positive, very positive, and stand as a promise of blessing for sowing what is good as well as a warning against sowing what is bad. My hope in this episode is that you will walk away feeling empowered to make the healthier choices for yourself, and living in confidence that God will honor His laws and you will reap the benefits in abundance!

Recipe For This Episode:  Pineapple Tepache I first learned of this refreshing drink when I was in Cabo, thanks to my friend Elise who took us to a local farmers market (not the touristy ones). I love fermented anything (except kimchi). I cannot wait to get this brewing this summer, and what a fabulous way to make use of the pineapple parts we normally toss out!  Full Recipe Click Here! Ingredients - be sure to use all organic! 4 1/2 cups water 1/2 cup piloncillo, or brown sugar 1 ripe fresh pineapple 1 cinnamon stick Directions: Gather the ingredients. Combine the water and brown sugar in a pot or 2-quart mason jar. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Cut off the crown from the pineapple and discard. Wash the outside of the pineapple with filtered water. Peel your pineapple on a cutting board. Cut a slice off the top of the fruit, another slice off the bottom, and then slice the peel off in strips—or use your favorite method, as long as you end up with a peeled pineapple.  Place the pieces of peel into the pot. Add the stick of cinnamon. Cut the fruit of the pineapple into slices or chunks, reserving the fibrous core. Store the fruit for another use. Add the core, whole or in chunks, to the pot and stir. Cover the pot with a dish towel and set it on the kitchen counter at room temperature—it should be easily accessible but also out of the way. The towel will keep out any foreign matter while allowing air to reach the mixture, to ensure a successful fermentation. After 24 to 36 hours, check your tepache. If you see a bit of frothy white foam on the surface of the water, it’s fermenting. You can drink it as is, or let it continue to brew another day or so. If you do not see any white froth, cover the pot again and check it after another 24 hours; the time necessary for fermentation will vary according to the room temperature, ripeness of the pineapple, and other factors. Once your tepache has reached the desired level of fermentation, strain out, and discard all the solids. Transfer the liquid to a pitcher and refrigerate. Before serving, take a test drink. Add more water or sugar to taste; it's not uncommon to dilute with more water. Serve over ice, if desired. Enjoy.
