Good Morning Cake With A Bite. Great for your heart and keeping everything flowing
Background: This has to have a background. Who in their right mind would put all of these ingredients together. No comment.

I normally eat a handful of walnuts a day to be sure that I have enough Omega-3 (alpha-linolenic polyunsaturated fatty acid) thought to be important in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, depression, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis, reduction of inflammation, and excessive blood clotting among others http://whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=84 Since other well known sources are either off my list since I am a vegetarian, or take more preparation, I have settled on walnuts. Other sources are flaxseeds, salmon, soybeans, halibut, hemp seeds, some leafy greens and the rest which are under 15% of the daily recommended amount. And I was out of walnuts – or so I thought. Had been out for 3 days. In my research, ran across mention of a number of spices which inhibited production of clotting factors in a dose-dependent manner  http://www.naturalnews.com/026454_blood_spices_garlic.html And the list included cloves (29-fold more potent than aspirin in inhibiting ararachidonic acid induced human platelet aggregation), hot or cayenne peppers, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, garlic, apple in decreasing order of effectiveness in this area (the active ingredient for each of the spices above in order are: – eugenol, capsaicin, curcumin, innamaldehyde, piperine, allyl sulphide, and quercetin. I quote: Quercetin is found in many common foods including apple, tea, onion, nuts, berries, cauliflower and cabbage.  http://www.phytochemicals.info/phytochemicals/quercetin.php caper, lovage, apples, tea, onions especially red and many other foods http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercetin.

Ingredients
ground clove 1/4 tsp
cinnamon 2 tsp
sweet basil 1 tsp
ginger 1/2 tsp
curcumin 2 tsp
black pepper 1/2 tsp
cayenne pepper mix (with coriander and garlic) 1 tbsp
garlic 2 cloves
6 walnuts (suddenly ran across them in the freezer)
6 almonds
1 egg
1 tbsp honey
blueberry jam on top with butter

Processing: Add a small amount of water to the above and a small amount of flour. Keep adding water and flour until you get the right consistency (pours but not too fast). Of course, the less liquid, the faster the cake “bakes”. In that regard, we will not talk about the other side of the cake pictured here. The final decision on the cake? Actually quite good. Now, I just have to be sure that I don’t cut myself. I am not a person with a medical degree of any sort but I am sure that there is not enough anti-clotting factors in this cake to overwhelm the natural control mechanisms of the body. On the other hand, think I’ll stay in today.

Apple Blueberry Salad.
The blueberries I strained out of blueberry jam with the strainer. Sometimes you just have to work with what you have. Apple washed well but with skin left on for the vitamins, minerals which are only or mainly in the skin. Dressing was poured on one by one – coriander, sweet basil, za’atar (thyme, sumac, sesame seeds), honey, and olive oil. By the way, this salad sort of provides some balance to my breakfast cake by providing vitamin K in the lettuce and olive oil which has a blood clotting effect on the system. http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=george&dbid=234#answer

Beet Soup and Cayenne On Whole Wheat.

I am an intuitive eater. If I am thinking beets and cayenne, I eat them. I do not often let my normal eating habits overrule. Actually, as you can guess, I do not have normal eating habits. If I don’t know how to fix something, I find out or use my intuition. You may think that this is irresponsible, disorganized, and a long list of other negatives, but I trust that my body knows what it needs. It plans to live to 100 if I don’t get in the way. The ingredients: 1 Beet, 1 onion, 3 garlic cloves cooked until beets done. There are a number of spices which go well in a beet soup. My preference is to let everyone take a cup of soup and add their own. I added cinnamon and honey. One think I would have done differently is to dice the beets. Had one heck of a time getting them out of the cup. The cayenne pepper mix (Middle Eastern style with garlic and coriander) is covered liberally with grated or crumbled (this was scraped with a sharp knife from a block of frozen sheep cheese) cow, goat, sheep cheese – your choice, and za’atar with its thyme and sesame seeds. Besides helping to lower LDL cholesterol which causes plaque to build up in my arteries, I have just helped my liver produce antioxidants, reduced possible inflammation in my joints,  reduced the possibility of cancer in my lower intestinal tract, and if I was pregnant (I’m not, but if I was, that would be a first), its folate would help in the development of the spinal cord of the embryo. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=49

And the cayenne pepper? Great for the heart and circulatory system, reduction of pain, and helps in the digestive system. In fact, if you are having or are in danger of heart problems, cayenne can be a life saver. http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/cayenne.htm If you are interested in your health, read this.
