Mean Green "Musgo" unPasta (& video)

Wow... that's quite the title... but it must be...

So back in December, I wrote about making "Musgo Stew" HERE. Dave and I were getting ready to go on vacation and had lots of extra food in the fridge that we didn't want to go bad... it was food that "MUST GO".. hence the name. So we put it all together and hoped for the best. We tend to do this every once in a while and most of the time, we get great results!

The other day, our random veggies were really adding up in the fridge, so I made us some "Musgo unPasta". I am calling this "unPasta" because it's not made with noodles! It's gluten-free and the "noodles" are made from raw zucchini! The sauce is SO SIMILAR to Alfredo sauce, but without all the cholesterol and fat! It's REALLY amazing!

This has probably been my BEST Musgo creation to date AND I managed to get some great pics too! :) Enjoy the process and the beautiful colors down below.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 Cup of Parsley (tightly packed)
  • 2 Avocados*
  • 1 Cup of Spinach (tightly packed)
  • 1 bunch of fresh Basil
  • 1/2 Cup of Sundried tomatoes
  • 1/4- 1/2 Cup of Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 Tablespoon of Lime Juice
  • 1 Teaspoon of Dried Dill
  • 1 Teaspoon of Powered Mustard

-------------------------------------------------
  • 4 Steamed Carrots
  • 1 Steamed head of Broccoli
  • 1/2 Medium Onion 
  • 1 Teaspoon of garlic
  • 2 Large Zucchini

TO MAKE THE SAUCE

  •  Lightly steam carrots and broccoli. It takes about 2 minutes. Then reserve the water in the bottom of the pot.
  • Put ingredients 1-9 (above) in a blender. Blend until combined. You may need to add water to get the blender going, so slowly add the reserved veggie water from the steamer.
  • Cook chopped onion and garlic until onions are soft. No need for cooking oil while sautéing. Just put a little water in the skillet until the onions start releasing their own water. :) Cutting down on unnecessary fat is easy!
  • Combine all above ingredients in the skillet you cooked the onions in. Mix and heat if you wish. This would an almost raw vegan dish if you don't heat the sauce.

TO MAKE THE NOODLES 
- Peel 2 zucchini. Slide them along this vegetable slicer, trying to keep them as long as possible. When finished, throw some lemon juice in the bowl and let them sit, marinating in the juice for 10 minutes or so.




SERVE & EAT (chopsticks optional)
Thanks to Dave for being a beautiful hand model

*A WORD ON AVOCADOS
Maybe some of you are not familiar with avocados. I know where I lived growing up, they were not that common. I just put together a video about how to cut them, and I also give tips on how to select ripe ones and some interesting facts on the FRUIT. Check out the video here:





THE BEAUTY OF MUSGO
You don't need to add the exact ingredients that I have in this recipe. Just use anything in your fridge that "MUST GO".  I would suggest, however, to keep the taste of the recipe similar, keep the avocado and nutritional yeast at least. :)

Make the term "Musgo" a staple in your family's vocabulary! I think it would be super fun to do a "Musgo Monday"! Your kids will love coming up with ideas of what to make with leftover veggies! Get them excited about the creative process that makes cooking so enjoyable!

To all of you in Korea, enjoy the long 3 day weekend for Buddha's Birthday!!! Dave and I plan on exploring a few other mountains in Busan and getting some much needed study/writing/portfolio time in!

Don't throw away- find a way
To put those old veggies to good use.
Get creative!
Get inspired!
Live empowered!

Don't Throw Out Your Greens... just yet!

Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to make a quick post about renewing greens leafy veggies and herbs that perhaps have overstayed their welcome in your refrigerator.

Did you know that you can "bring back" wilted lettuces, greens, and herbs, simply by placing them in a glass of water for about 30 minutes? It works like a charm! You won't even believe it!!!
Here are some herbs and greens that I rejuvenated before dinner tonight.


Parsley and Spinach

Basil




*If the greens are slimy and extremely limp, you won't be able to resuscitate them. :( If it's questionable, just give it a try!

The more you know, the more you grow and the less you THROW
away :)

Empower Your Life!

Meg

Be on the lookout for an AMAZING new Spring recipe coming out in a few days ALONG with a new video. I've been a busy bee....


PS- Yes, I did take these pics! It's amazing what the right light does to add quality to your photos!

VIDEO: How To Cut a Mango

It's been quite a long time since I've done a YouTube video. I haven't really been inspired to get in front of the camera all winter. But since Spring decided to show up, I have been finding myself rather inspired for multiple projects. I find inspiration everywhere it seems... So why not make a video.

Last weekend I was shopping at our local grocery store, and I found some mangoes on clearance! Yes! In Korea, we have clearance sections in the produce section!!! It's pretty great, I must say.


Needless to say, that shopping trip inspired me to do a "how to" video on cutting mangoes.


I remember being a picky eater once and how I gave every excuse as to why I couldn't try something new. I have also talked to several people who have told me that they could never eat "x" vegetable or "y" fruit because they didn't know how to cut or cook it!!! That was all that was keeping them from enjoying some pretty great health benefits AND great tastes and textures!

If you often find yourself giving this excuse, I hope you find some inspiration in this video to try something new.

Enjoy:




Let me know if there is a topic you would like me to do a video on and I will be glad to do it! I'd love to hear what you're thinking!!


Go Eat Your Mangoes, NOW!!!

Meg :)

Excuses... EXCUSES!

Sometimes I make excuses...

Today I just realized that I get most of my internet WORK done while I'm at school (working).
I do it on breaks, or at lunch. Today during lunch, I updated my Linked In and Instagram pages.
Why don't I think to do these things AT HOME?

After racking my brain, I came to 2 conclusions:

ONE: I HATE my desk chair in my home office. Terrible excuse, right? Well- it's tiny and NOT COMFORTABLE and I can't sit "Indian Style" in it. I seem to always be sitting "Indian Style" in chairs lately- it makes me feel more comfortable.

What was I thinking buying that puny chair on the left!? The new one is on the right is PERFECT for me!

TWO: My desk ALWAYS has a "to do" pile on it, and although it appears "neat", I have random stuff thrown in boxes under my desk. Since I know the stuff is there- it haunts me and makes me unable to concentrate on my tasks at hand.

For these 2 reasons, I avoid my office. Avoiding my office= avoiding work. Work= studying, blogging, writing, painting, etc.

So what happens? I end up writing or attempting to do "work" on the couch or in my bed. I usually end up falling asleep before my work is done or getting distracted by something else.

It's Spring and I'm tired of making these lame excuses! So when I left school today, I bought a new chair and a 3 drawer organizer. Things like this are expensive in Korea (we don't have WalMart or Target), but the investment is worth it! YES, I said investment! Anything that makes you feel better, healthier, more productive or more successful is an investment in yourself and IS worth it!

I spent about an hour cleaning the "Winter" out of my office and it feels great! I feel totally prepared to take on all the amazing things I have coming up!

My clutter free desk!

I got so carried away with cleaning- I even mopped the office. Of all the chores in the house, mopping is my least favorite... by far. But I am always so happy when it's finished and the house has that smell.

I haven't used chemicals to clean my house for years, and people usually comment on how great it smells. Here is my recipe for a mopping solution.

Tea Tree Essential Oil and Lavender Dr Bronner's Soap. 
Both are super concentrated, so you only need a little bit and your house will smell amazing! Believe it or not, Tea Tree and Lavender make a stellar combination! You can buy the tea tree oil and Dr Bronner's soap at my favorite shop, HERE. It will arrive straight to your door in less than a week no matter where you are in the world!

Why is my Office So Special?
This is my living room. It seems to represent ME on the outside. It's pretty simple- and that's the way I like it.

My 16th floor Apartment . Busan, South Korea.

 But my office is a total reflection of myself on the inside.  I need this space in my home. It's where I draw my inspiration from. I need to make sure I maintain this office. I find that if it's messy, I am feeling a bit frazzled on the inside as well. If it's clean and organized, so am I! I think it's important to keep your home clean and de-cluttered. To me, it just makes all the difference in the world.

Here are a few snippets of my rarely seen (even to my friends) office.

An amazing mobile that my wonderful friends made for me on my birthday. It's complete with paper cranes holding birthday wishes, paper flowers made from the pages of a Paulo Coelho book, and some wooden angels from Ubud, Bali.
A Balinese sea angel



A Balinese air angel.
An owl pillow made for me by my lovely sister-in-law,  a blanket bought for me by my great friend Meghan at Mayan ruins in Mexico, a medicinal herb pillow, a leaf pillow, a purple and red sarong that I bought in Koh Samui, Thailand. The ingredients for a perfect Saturday afternoon nap!
Some postcards that sing to my heart, a self-portrait magnet I made in "Art Class" at school,
 and a lovely note from my husband.
My collection of rocks and seashells that I picked up from all over the world and the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy.
 I'm so happy I have a tiny space in the world where I can be ME. If you don't have an extra room, you could always carve out a small corner somewhere. If you need it, you can make it happen.

Sometimes we let small things interfere with our joy or with our path in life. When we STOP giving excuses, we START living. Living can be scary and that is why so many people will give you excuse after excuse as to why they cannot do something. Most of these excuses seem "lame" for lack of a better word. But they are very real to the person giving them.

When will you stop letting small excuses keep you from the life you want?

INVEST in YOU. You will reap multiple returns on investment- whatever that may mean to you.

Come on in- the water's fine~

Spring Cleaning


Growing up, "Spring Cleaning" was always a HUGE ordeal. It usually involved brooms, vacuums,  garbage bags and tears. But I must say, after all was said and done, I was secretly (deep deep down inside) glad that I was made to do it. There is just something to a totally clean living space. Not just "clean" but totally uncluttered- no excess junk in drawers, under beds or hidden in closets. I'm sure you all can totally relate to the feeling. It just feels like you can "breathe" again!

But why do we "spring clean"? I'm sure you all clean your homes year round, right? So then,


A local bee "Spring Cleaning" the neighborhood flowers.


Why is Spring so special?
Sometimes we forget that we are part of nature. We drive cars, eat fast "food", have electricity, and live up in tall apartment buildings.

Looking at the "ground" from my 16th floor apartment.
Count up 14 window air conditioners and you will see our apartment.

We try to ignore our animalistic nature in most every way. But when it comes down to it, we are still very much spiritually and emotionally tied to the Earth. Let's look for the answer there-

What happens to the Earth in Spring?
After the long slumber of winter, the Earth begins to "wake up".
During winter the Earth is slow. Animals slumber or hibernate, daylight hours grow shorter, the ground becomes mostly barren, there is stillness. With all the stillness there is peace. This "wintering" is very needed in the plant and animal kingdom. Many important processes happen during this time. But, after a while, too much stillness leads to stagnation.

When the face of the Earth starts to feel the warm sun on its face, it starts to regenerate. Animals wake from their slumber, as do plants. The Earth starts making way for the "new". Winter is a long period of inward "work" that the planet and OURSELVES must go through in order to grow anew in the Spring season.

Beautiful blooms in my apartment complex.

A gorgeous pic taken by my good friend Meghan at a Cherry Blossom Festival.

Now, what happens to US in the Spring?
It's pretty common for people to "get sick" during the changing of the seasons. Our bodies need to clean out from the past season and prepare for the challenges that it will incur in the next few months. The body knows exactly what needs "cleaned" each season. Spring is no different.

Most people notice excess mucus in the transition from Winter to Spring. If you are going through this, do not complain- CELEBRATE! Your body is cleaning! Be gentle on your body and don't rush to the doctor or the pharmacy. Let your body WORK. Mucus encapsulates toxins, bacteria and other microorganisms so they may be expelled from your body! Mucus has also been building up due to the heavier /richer foods typically eaten during winter. Red meat, eggs, dairy, refined sugar, wheat, grains- all of these foods are very dense in calories and/or fat and they generate lots of heat when they are digested. Shedding the mucus created from these things will allow our bodies room to eat from Spring's gorgeous green bounty.

Foods to Eat in Spring
Spring= green! There are so many wonderful fresh greens in the Spring! They will help your body detox all the mucus that has been building over winter and get you hydrated and remineralized for the hot Summer months ahead. The liver has been working hard all winter to metabolize the fatty foods that most people eat in large quantity during cold weather. Help your liver detox by giving it GREENS.
  • Dandelion leaves
  • Kale, chard and other dark leafy greens
  • Broccoli and cauliflower, 
  • Cabbage, asparagus and artichoke
  • Lemons or lemon juice
  • Garlic and onions
All of these foods are slightly bitter in taste. Most bitter foods help detox the liver. "Bitter" is sadly a taste we don't appreciate much in the American diet, but it is desperately needed to help our over burdened livers. 
Mushrooms mixed with awesome greens called "돗나물" in Korean. The English translation is "Ashdod Herbs".
A lot of old Koreans believe these have magical healing powers, as there are some myths about wild animals being on the brink of death before eating. Then after, they magically are healed! If you live in Korea, be on the look out for these in the Spring only! They taste INCREDIBLE! So fresh!
Lightly steamed broccoli. The original FAST FOOD. It takes 2 minutes, costs around $1 a head, and is delicious!!!!!

In addition to greens, add as much fresh fruit and veggies as you can and drink plenty of water to help the detox process. Fiber and water bring MOVEMENT inside to push everything out!

Need a good starting place to eat with the Spring season?
Here is a super helpful SPRING shopping list from Sara Avant Stover's book, The Way of the Happy Woman:



Spring Activities
Most of us don't feel much like moving during winter. But with the Spring comes more found energy! Be gentle on yourself and start bringing "life" back to your body. Here are a few things to try:
  • Stretch and Move. Bring blood and oxygen back into stagnant areas. Focus on the hips and bottom. Join a yoga class or watch some videos on Youtube!
  • Walk. Go out and take in all the senses around you. Smell the air, feel the sun on your face, take off your shoes and walk through the dewy grass. Enjoy your newly born surroundings.
  • Touch & Explore. If you have your own land, dig in the dirt. Feel the life! Plant seeds and watch them grow. Gardening gets you in contact with the Earth, time in the sun, and fluidity in your body. Find time to re-connect with nature during this special time. 
  • Create. Just as nature is "creating", Spring is the perfect time to begin creative projects around the house or just for fun. Creativity will flow easily to you during this time of year. Paint, write, draw, collage!
  • Execute. You've had a winter of inward reflection. You've been planning. Now it's time to set your ideas into motion. Let them bloom and become fruitful!
All of these activities will sync you up to the natural rhythms of the Earth. Living in harmony with the natural rhythms of our Earth is a lost art. 

How do you sync up with nature? Do you have any special rituals that you do in the Spring? I'd love to hear about them. I'm always looking for new soulful traditions to incorporate into my routine!

This weekend is supposed to be gorgeous! Go outside- LIVE Spring and EAT Spring! It's all around you!


With a Spring in my Step,
Meg

3.19

March 19th is a very special day for me. It's the day that a very special person was given to this world. This person.


 Little did anyone know that this little person would drastically change the life of a person not so far away. This is not just a person. This is the person that loves me. By choice.


 This little person is my friend. My number one ally. This person would do anything for me without the thought of getting anything in return.


Who knew that this chocolate covered little boy would grow into such a wonderful man. So kind. So giving. Such a spirit full of light and love.



My skater boy. I met this person not too long after this pic was taken. We were 17. Although Avril Lavigne, tried to convince me with her song- I could never quite say "See you later boy" to this person. 


Even during the college years of popped colors and hair wax- he had my heart. 



It's been almost 6 years since we were married. I can't believe I love this person 100 times more now than I did on our wedding day. How is it possible?


I'm beyond lucky to have a "live-in" support and encouragement- it really is my secret weapon. The man in these pictures lifts me up. I am constantly inspired by his passion and his kind soul. 



I was never loved the way you love me, it feels like a warm blanket. I never knew how to love another until I loved you. As our love grows, it helps me grow. You came to Earth to love and teach me.
Thank you. 


An ultrasound picture of Dave. This is very rare for people our age. I'm so happy to have it.

Who is the person that inspires you? Who is your teacher (not in the traditional sense)?, Who do you love? Do you grow from loving another?

Love abounds, just look around.

Meg


PS- Here is a poem I wrote for you. I have NEVER shared my poems or private writing with anyone. This is a special celebration, so I am putting myself out there. It's a little terrifying. But it is for my love. This is a poem written about our life together.


A POEM: "3.19"
3.19, A special day.
You joined us here on Earth.
You.
You came.
You knew I was waiting.
You grew.
I grew.
We met.
We had fun. We had love.
We had something indescribable.
An instant connection.
Us.
University.
We fought.
We laughed.
Marriage.
Pennsylvania to Asia.
You grew.
I grew.
We grow.
Life grows.... sweeter.
My friend.
My husband.
My support.
You.
Me.
We.


PSS- I owe your parents a debt of gratitude. They created you and they were responsible for the man you became. Thank you so much B & E! I am so lucky.

Catching Up

I've been a bit lagging lately on blog posts because I have just had so much going on- work, studying, yoga, "The Veg Initiative", work, friends, husband... Some days it feels like I don't have time to take a breath.   But great things are happening- I'm so happy to be busy and productive!


For starters.. remember that post when I talked about having a morning ritual and how I am really terrible at waking up early. Well... since then, my husband and I have been taking turns cooking a real hot breakfast (opposed to making a smoothie to go) and sitting down together to eat it! It feels so nice to be able to connect with him before we both go out into the world.

A thing of beauty. Steel cut oats, almond milk and berries! YUM!


I also gave a talk at Kaizen Wellness Workroom here in Busan as part of their monthly clean cooking class. I talked about Carbohydrates and why they are IMPORTANT and NECESSARY for a healthy life! Check out a previous one HERE. It seems so surreal to actually be SPEAKING on what I love, instead of just writing or studying. I'm not perfect at it, but I really relish and enjoy these first steps in my career. I'm already busy preparing for the next talk coming up this Saturday, May 16th.

I bet you can't guess what I'm talking about in my lovely diagram above.
If you have a guess, let me know in a comment below.
Hint: That thing in the upper left hand corner is a donut.

We celebrated Valentine's Day at my pre-school. Korea does not celebrate the same way we do in the US, so I had to teach them how to make mailboxes at home and they had to make cards for everyone in their class. No going to RITE AID and buying the pre-made ones. They don't exist in Korea.

Pretty good for first-timers. Mine is the sky blue princess monster right in the middle!
Cards go in the mouth, thank you very much!

I also made them vegan chocolate molasses cupcakes.... I tried making powdered sugar from Xylitol. *Shew* I'll share the recipe if when it's perfected. Molasses cupcakes for kids.... what was I thinking? :)
To make matters worse, my measuring cup and measuring spoons were left at school... all the ingredients that I measured for this recipe were measured by eye. Some batches turned out great.... others.... not so much.

They look really good! Some of the batches were. Some kids even liked them! ;)


Thank you William and Shirley and all the others that liked or pretended they liked them!! :)



The Korean school year ends in February. So, I had to say "goodbye" to that group of students. I miss them so much already! They were so smart and funny and cool. They made my life at work SUCH fun, and so rewarding! I now have a new group of 4 year old kids that I have to start all over again with. These first few months will be hard... they speak no English and have very limited experience in a classroom setting... Good thing I have 2 really good Korean co-teachers to help me!
Here are a few of the new stars...

Aurora! Yes- named after Sleeping Beauty.
Edward! Named after the best father-in-law ever... not really. But I like to pretend that's why.


Every Sunday since the beginning of January, I've been meeting up with a group of gorgeous and inspiring ladies! We are going through the book "The Artist's Way". It's about taking a spiritual path to regain your creativity- but there are also so many other beautiful lessons to be learned as well. I am constantly being challenged and enlightened by their presence in my life. I don't know what I will do when the book ends at the end of this month!



The names of the women in our group: Meg, Meghan, Meagan (pronounced Mee-gan), Mel..... and Corrine. How awesome is that! We can never seem to get a group picture!

I had to say "goodbye" to some pretty awesome people. Living as an ex-pat, you always have friends coming and going. It's sad- but it's just the way of life. The good thing is, you always meet so many awesome people and make connections all over the world.

I first said "see you soon" to my incredible friend and Reiki teacher, Katrina. She left Korea to travel in Thailand, and live in a palace in India... you know... no big deal.


Then I said "farewell" to these two gorgeous people. J & A left Korea to travel South East Asia and do a major road trip across the US until they reach their new home on the East Coast. Jill is an inspiring DIY lady. You can check out her blog here. Aaron is quite the talented photographer. You can check out his  photography blog here. They came to Korea at the same time as we did, so it's really surreal to see them leaving. We really got to know them better last summer when they took our 5 year anniversary pics. They are certainly talented! Wish we had more time with you guys!!




We had our second Veggie Night as part of "The Veg Initiative"! It was quite the success! Look at all these vegans/vegetarians/veg-curious/people that like healthy food that came out to support the initiative! We more than doubled the number of plates sold at the first one! Now we're busy planning the next one for April! Great things are happening with The Veg Initiative, but more on that later! I can't wait to share it with you!

Not bad for a bar on a Sunday at 4pm!
The event menu. Pretty good for bar food, huh?

I did my very first interview assignment for a Korean magazine Haps! I was lucky enough to get the assignment on something that I'm very passionate about... Can you guess what it is?

 

The article will be coming out soon. Be sure to check Haps website and Facebook page for the update!


Early one Saturday morning, I successfully completed 108 Sun Salutations in a row. This was a special way to celebrate a special lady/outstanding yoga teacher's BIG birthday. It took 3 hours, but we did it! If you are unfamiliar with the significance of number 108 in the East, you can read more here. Mindy- you are awesome, I can't think of a better way to celebrate YOU!

It appears we may be praying for strength.

And last but not least I've been spending time with great friends. Doesn't it feel so great to have REAL girlfriends? It's taken me about 28 years, but I can now honestly say that I have women in my life that love, support and encourage me. I never have to doubt their intentions or always be watching my back. That is something priceless, I will miss them so much when we leave Korea!!

Awesome rustic vegan dinner made by a great friend that is NOT a vegan, but is just supportive and cool like that!
Great friends making Vegan Smores on chopsticks at Meghan's Surprise Party!
As I mentioned above, we planned a surprise birthday party for our good friend Meghan. Or "The Professor" as she will now be referred to. She just got her first job teaching at a university! This is such an exciting time for her! She is on her life's "path"! We rented a pension in the country and gave her a good shock.. she thought she was headed for a romantic weekend with her husband.... then SURPRISE!!!! We were all there!!! WE GOT YOU, PROFESSOR D!!!

Opening the door and seeing all of our lovely faces in the loft.
AND.... I got this... "Teacher of the Year" award at my school. I debated on sharing this or not, but I am very proud of it since I take teaching very seriously. I whole-heartedly love my students, and I am so appreciative of the job that I have. I am extremely lucky in that sense. I love my job 99.5% of the time. Working with children is truly a gift! I can't wait to work with kids that speak my own language. I miss so much of what they say even though I can understand Korean pretty well.

Pretty nice sized gift card accompanied the award too ;)

Sometimes I feel like life passes too quickly. But I can honestly say that I am never bored- and I like that.  It seems when I am busiest is when I am happiest. But being more naturally introverted, I seem to lose myself when I have too many outward things going on. I need time to "exhale" to feel complete. But do I ever so love the "inhale" that comes with being full of life.

That being said, I feel like it is very hard to balance a full life. I feel a little guilty that I have let some areas of my life "slide". Mostly my housework and friendships. I haven't been very present in conversations as of late. I apologize for this to those that have been affected, I need to learn how to stay present and connected when I have 293472983469 other things going on in my head.

How do you manage all the things you have to do? I see so many women out there in "Blog Land" and in "real" life that seem to do it all. How do you manage to do it all AND find the invaluable time for yourself? I'd really like to know. Share your wisdom in the comment section below... I need it.


Breathing in and out one day at a time-

Meg

I needed to hear this... FACEBOOK IS NOT A PRIORITY!
