A couple of easy steps that will have you creating your own fermented foods, whenever your heart so desires. Place your cabbage in a processor or chop it roughly by hand, you will need a quarter of a cabbage of any colour and type. Once chopped, you can either whizz the cabbage up again so it looks like the above picture or you can leave it in larger chopped pieces- the choice is yours! Boil 2 cups of water and wash out the jar you plan to use with some of the boiling water. Cool the rest of the water- once cooled, cover your cabbage with the remaining water. Next, seal the jar with a lid and place it near the window on your kitchen bench. give it a shake or stir everyday. Your Sauerkraut should be ready in about 3 to 4 days. It should smell sour and taste sour too. If any mould grows on it throw it out . After 3 or 4 days strain the remaining fluid off the cabbage and keep your finished Sauerkraut and the fluid you removed in the fridge. You can drink the fluid and eat the sauerkraut daily for the same effect as a probiotic- helping your body to build up good gut bacteria, helping you to naturally breakdown food efficiently. If you have not had Sauerkraut before start off with a small amount until your system gets used to it.

Addicted to Peanut Butter……Guilty.
My new treat is homemade peanut butter on oat bread. You’ll need organic roasted peanuts – Flannery’s Natural Organic Food Store sell these in bulk! Peanuts are actually a legume and are full of protein. They are high in Folate for strong bones, help prevent cancer and heart disease and have loads of Vitamin E- and next to grapes, peanuts are the highest in resveratrol. Roasting the peanuts increases the antioxidant content and we can also rave about the high phytosterol level which promotes healthy cholesterol. I make my peanut butter in my Omniblend and add extra virgin olive oil and Himalayan salt until the consistency is like the picture above. I say Peanut Butter is now a guilt free treat, so enjoy!
Food you SHOULD be eating.
This week we are talking about Fermented foods and the positive influence they have on our guts.

WATCH THIS SPACE for my homemade recipe coming to you this week.

Seek the Silver Lining
Prepare for an Amazing Journey
![](https://yogaatalex.me/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/DSC01163-1024x743.jpg)
In the rush of life I want Yoga at Alex to help prepare you for your journey, create that force field of intelligence so body and mind support each other.
“Like the tree’s root system that grounds and holds the tree strong through damaging winds or unpredictable storms”
During your yoga practise, as we take in the beauty of the Sunshine Coast, you will encounter some blockages or challenges with your body. Using the breath, the mind enters into the body’s energy system to offer you support rather than criticism or repetitive negativity. Learning this technique will allow you to use the mind as a positive support through your everyday encounters.
Whenever family, friends, work colleagues, customers cross our path with negativity we will remain supportive to ourselves keeping a clear mind and a steady breath. Each moment will flow in and out of our lives, helping us to remain happy and centred for our next adventure.
Yoga At Alex Keeps Up-‘Beet’
Getting To Know Yourself.
![](https://yogaatalex.me/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_1377-1024x591.jpg)
Getting to know yourself can be confronting and maybe even uncomfortable. But if we keep busy and always have lots of noise around us, we probably can side step the issue of what we are made of. Our fears, our frustrations, what we dislike about ourselves and why we are the way we are. Yoga is this very issue, it is confronting. It draws us to the point of connection, dissolves the layers , removes the control and teaches us to let go and trust. This can be a great relief for most people and a great sense of freedom is felt both mentally and physically .
You may ask why is this necessary, to have times in our lives where we are doing nothing just focusing on breathing! Well if you want to feel like your life is complete, that you no longer need to search for happiness and who you are is really who you want to be.
Then, yes it is necessary to stop the busyness, stop running in the same direction as the herd, stop getting caught up in all the negative media. Most of all stop letting the self proclaimers take over your brain and make you feel inadequate.
If you do your yoga often and silence the world with your mediation, then it will be easy to hear the issues of the world but not let your soul be filled with the negative pressure that can consume you, to the point of destruction by disease or illness.
We will then be free to be who we really are and our unique qualities will appear and before we know it, there will be a person we really like and are glad to be. I often stand in my studio, looking out over the Sunshine Coast- I open the palms of my hands look to the setting sun and breathe in the goodness of the universe, repeating with each breath …..I am this……
