Step 1: Prepare to wash and cut your vegetables - Purple Cauliflower, Broccoli Florets, and Green Beans. Cut into your desired size, I cut separately and put in their own containers for custom seasoning.

Step 2: Wash, peel and prepare to cut your white and red pearl onions into your desired size. I season with Raw Pink Himalayan Salt and set aside cut onions in container.

Step 3: Season to taste liking whatever flavor combinations you desire in your separate containers of Purple Cauliflower, Green Beans, and Broccoli Floret and toss gently or stir to evenly coat vegetables with seasoning mix. I seasoned my Purple Cauliflower with Organic Red Raspberry Powder, Organic Garlic Powder – Green Beans with Organic Bladderwrack Powder and Organic Black Pepper Powder – Broccoli Florets with Organic Lemon Powder, Organic Black Pepper Powder, and Organic Garlic Powder.

*Using my baking method – then continue to bake method Step 6

Step 4: Lightly coat pan or pans with Organic Avocado or Grapeseed Oil evenly, add vegetables to their respective pans, toss and bake at 300° for 12-15 minutes or to desired crispiness for the vegetables.

*Using my softly sautéed method –

Step 4: Gather your desired cooking pans, you can cook all three at the same time or one at a time, whatever is most comfortable for you in your kitchen. Prepare your pans with the Organic Avocado or Grapeseed Oil by feeding the pan a circle motion of oil and tossing your pan to evenly coat the oil in the pan. Toss in a handful of your cut onions to each pan, evenly distribute, and let simmer on med heat for 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 5: Toss in your seasoned Purple Cauliflower, seasoned Green Beans, and seasoned Broccoli Floret into their respective heated pans and stir gently and evenly spread to cook in the pan, stir occasionally for 3-5 minutes depending on desired vegetable crispy.

*If using my baking method

Step 6: Take your pans out of the oven and place your finished baked vegetables into their previous respective containers, lightly sprinkle with Raw Pink Himalayan Salt, and set aside.

*If using my softly sautéed method

Step 6: Place your finished softly sautéed Purple Cauliflower, Green Beans, and Broccoli Florets into their previous respective container, lightly sprinkle with Raw Pink Himalayan Salt, and set aside.

Step 7: In a small bowl pour 1/3 cup of Organic Avocado Oil or Grapeseed Oil, 1 tsp of Organic Basil Leaves, and 2 tsp of Organic Garlic Powder. Mix and set to the side. Preheat your oven and set to 420 degrees.

Step 8: Grab your Circle Bread and slice inward about ½ inch a circle all the way around the top of the Circle bread. You will have made a full 360 turn of the bread while slicing. Pull the sliced bread part from the top and remove the remainder of the bread on the inside of the Circle Bread. This will create the bread bowl once all the insides have been removed.

Step 9: Grab your oil mixture that you made in Step 7 and begin to oil your Circle Bread bowl. Evenly oil and coat the outside, evenly oil and coat the inside. Put oiled Circle Bread inside the oven directly on the rack or in a pan open circle side down and bake for 8-10 minutes or until desired crispiness.

Step 10: Take Toasted Circle Bread bowl out of the oven and place on a plate to cool for 1 minute.

Step 11: Place your sautéed or baked Purple Cauliflower, Green Beans, and Broccoli Florets into the warm toasted Circle Bread bowl. Garnish with Organic Raw Hemp Hearts and your remainder chopped pearl onions.

Stronger Survivor Saturday 1.7.2017 0

Stronger Survivor Saturday 1.7.2017

Situations can shape the speak it abilities we exercise over our lives to survive so stand strong and shine.

Survivors learn to savor their life moments and can find the shine in every square foot of life. Anybody can take on the survivor mindset and attitude towards life and the wellness benefit is phenomenal. Look at the door that was just opened for you and the possibilities for growth in that. Look at the door that was closed for you that you may have had trouble trying to close yourself. When mind muscles begin to grow stronger, when you begin to take on the survivor mentality many things that may have once made you overthink you won’t even think twice about it. Your wellness journey will not always be a smooth sail, but embrace that you are uniquely built for whatever your life journey will bring you.

“Shine like only you can, savor your surroundings and your square feet of life, speak life while seeing your future victories!” – Giovanni Gilmore

In my area, the people woke up to the first snow of the 2017 winter. This isn’t the first time my area has experienced snow, but some people can still be swayed that they can’t handle the year’s first snowfall. When you’ve survived many things, you begin to collect the tools that will keep the random life situations from potentially blocking your wellness goals in, while distracting you from expanding in every season to your proper ascension territories. When you are operating in a survivor mindset you are not easily shaken by things around you because you are using your tools you have keeping you strong in encouragement.

The surviving success of your journey steps and the walking shoes that only you can put on and tie up will shape the course of your life destiny so smile as you step. Don’t ever let the negative that happens to you or happens around you run your life and shape your daily actions and its success. You’re a stronger survivor due to learning from unhealthy things not benefiting your growth and learning to let go of the unhealthy to keep your life grind constantly climbing. You survived what tried to take you out, you survived what tried to count you out, you survived what tried to speak negatively over your life, you survived what tried to use and abuse you, you survived losing a loved one, you survived all distractions trying to take you off course from your birthrights.

Speak life over every situation you will experience with words that will push you to keep going. Some of my favorites I say to myself are, “Focus, I got this!”, “Thankful, I’m still here!”, “Ay, Keep pushing, I know I’m built for this!” Always acknowledge both sides and don’t compromise yourself and your light by being swayed because how it currently looks. You are a strong surviving soul who has the power to speak life and set your atmosphere!

Tag yourself and Gigi Amanata Wellness for a feature on our Instagram page or Twitter page using the hashtag #StrongerByMySurvivorStory and let me know how this week you’re a strong survivor speaking life to shape your steps on your wellness journey in 2017!

Strong survivors of all ages can naturally stay supported in their wellness climb to take total control in 2017 in the Gigi Amanata Wellness Shop to help you speak life over whatever situation you are currently surviving! One of my favorite go-to support powders in the winter months is Organic Raw Cacao Powder due to the nutrient packed wellness support it provides my body. I use Organic Raw Cacao Powder during my week to make warm natural homemade chocolate nut milk that gives give me that natural body protecting boost I need for the daily surviving I experience! Whether it is surviving your day, surviving strenuous winter weather, surviving scheming attitudes around you, surviving a crave for processed chocolate, or even surviving a do-it-yourself project for the first time in 2017. You can do it and you keep shining! You won’t be stopped, you’re a fighter, who will see the victory!

You Are Blessed,

People that have success in wellness planted a seed of starting and wanting a new outcome. A start to water the seed of consciousness for their body and atmospheres, a start to water the seed of renewal for their wellness path because they know this isn’t it, or a start to water the want for life ascension period. The knowing the need for positive life seeds in the ground will make the soil fertile with nourishment for your hardest life seasons in not just wellness, but everything you do!
