Cassie’s Cookbook Food by God, made by kids Dr. T.J. Osborne Dr. Patti Gonzalez 1305-C North Bascom Ave. San Jose, CA 95112 408-985-1111 [email protected] www.maximizedlivingsanjose.com Preface Dear Maximized Living Community, It is with great joy that I get to share with you a special book put together by a special girl and her special family. Cassie Cole loves to cook and wants to share this gift with our Maximized Living community. Note on the recipes: As you enjoy this Food by God made by Kids book, let me make some suggestions. When it calls for flour, try and make the best choice you can. In our home we like to grind our own flour and have it fresh. Flour can go bad so try to get organic and the fresher the better. When it calls for meats like chicken, we try to use free-range chickens. These are chickens that have been allowed to run around naturally and eat a natural diet. When it calls for beef try to get grass fed beef or game meat. When it calls for cheese and milk products we use raw cheese and raw milk. I don’t suggest you use Soy products for they have a negative effect on our hormones. Unsweetened almond milk is a great non-dairy choice or canned full fat coconut milk. When we have a craving for chocolate, we use chocolate that is 60% coco or higher. When sugar is called for, raw sugar is the best choice. When salt is called for use pink looking sea salt (Himalayan Sea Salt). The main idea is to use ingredients and eat food as God made it. The more man has touched or processed the food the less it is really food. Food made by God is perfect for our God made bodies. Note on reading ingredients: There are some ingredients that never belong in our body. The following ingredients you need to start moving away from and learn how to eat and cook without them. Keep an eye out for: HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYURP, WHITE SUGAR, RED DIE 40, MSG, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED OILS, SPLENDA, NUTRISWEET, ASPARTAME, CANOLA OIL AND ANYTHING YOU CANNOT PRONOUNCE. Simple weight loss plan: There are 5 food groups that I tell people to cut out if they want to lose weight and improve their health and energy. For the next 60 days cut out ALL BREADS, PASTAS, GRAINS LIKE RICE, ALL KINDS OF SODA POP, SUGAR DESERTS AND DRINKS. And for an added bonus eat your last meal 2 hours before bed, 3 hours if you want to drop the weight off faster. I hope you enjoy this special book made by a special girl. We pray it blesses you and gets you or keeps you on the road to better health and living. Maximum Blessings! Dr. T.J. Osborne Breakfast 1.

Bunny Salad 8 large pieces of lettuce (romaine looks the best) 4 large slices of carrots (cut diagonally to look like ears) 2 ripe fresh pears 12 whole cloves ¼ cup organic cottage cheese 12 whole strawberries Rinse the lettuce and press it dry between some paper towels. Then put it on a plate. This will be the grass the bunny sits on. Cut the carrot pieces in half the long way and lay them in pairs to use as bunny ears. Peel the pear then cut the pear in half the long way. Remove the seeds and place on a plate with the cut side down on top of the lettuce. In the small end of the pear, push in 2 cloves about ¾ inch from the end for the eyes, for the nose push 1 clove at the very end of the pear. Cut a slit about ½ inch behind the eyes. Push two carrot half in for ears. Place 1 tbsp of cottage cheese next to the round end of the pear. That is for the tail. Put a few strawberries around the bunny to make it look like the bunny hopped into a strawberry patch. 2. Pesto 2 ounces of parmesan cheese cut into chunks 2 cups washed, dried and firmly packed basil leaves ½ cup extra virgin olive oil ¼ cup pine nuts 6 cloves of garlic, peeled Put the parmesan cheese into a food processor and process until it looks like rice. Add basil and process again until basil is finely chopped. Scrape down the edges of the food processor. With the processor running, pour in the olive oil through the tube on top. Mix until everything is combined. Scrape down the sides again. Add the pine nuts and process only as long as it takes to count to 3 slowly. Add garlic and process again until the mixture is creamy. Use this instead of mayonnaise or over pasta or meat. 3. Creamy Tomato Soup (cold or hot) 3 Ripe Tomatoes, seeded and Chopped (about 1/2 cup) 1/4 Cup Water 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Garlic (1 clove) 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt 1/2 Ripe Avacado, Chopped 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 Teaspoons Minced Fresh Dill Weed or Basil Place the tomatoes, water, garlic, onion powder, and sea salt in a blender and process until smooth. Add Avocado and Olive Oil and blend again until smooth. Add the dill weed and blend briefly just to mix. Serve immediately or chill in refrigerator if serving cold. Or put into saucepan and warm up to a simmer and serve. 4. Turkey Sandwich Use leftover roasted turkey. Layer with lettuce and mustard on organic bread. Easy to pack up and take to school. 5. Chicken Nuggets 3 tbsp butter (Raw Butter if possible), melted 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (no MSG brands (organic)) 2 whole large boneless, skinless free range chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes Almond Meal (for coating the chicken) 1/3 cup grated Raw parmesan cheese In a bowl stir together butter and Worcestershire sauce. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. In a plastic bag mix almond meal and parmesan cheese. Add chicken cubes to the bag a few at a time. Shake to coat. Put chicken in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Bake at 450 for about 7-9 minutes. These are way better than McDonalds! 6. Macaroni and Cheese One pound of veggie pasta (usually tri-colored) 3 oz of mozzarella cheese grated or cubed 3 oz of cheddar cheese grated or cubed (Tillamook or Raw Cheese) ½ cup of organic whole milk or Raw Milk 2 tbsp butter Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain water. Add butter milk and both cheeses. Stir till cheese is all melted. Salt and pepper to taste. 7. Other lunch things I like: raw broccoli and cauliflower and carrots with a tiny bit of Hummus (good Organic kind). Apple slices or even whole granny smith apples. These things pack into a lunch box really easily and they help me get through the day at school. Dinner 1. Broiled Halibut Use about 2 pounds of halibut steaks. Put it on the broiler pan and sprinkle just a bit of sea salt (pink in color) on it. Broil till juices run clean and take out of the oven. Drizzle a bit of melted Raw butter and a hint of honey over the steak (if you want a sweet touch). Easy and really good. 2. Chipotle Salmon Thawed salmon fillet with the skin still on one side of the fillet. Put the fish on a piece of foil with the skin next to the foil. Sprinkle on chipotle seasonings and lemon pepper seasoning to taste. Cover the top of the fillet with seasonings. Put it on the grill with the foil still under it. Cover the grill and cook till it easily flakes apart. 3. Roast Turkey Get a big Free-Range Organic Turkey and thaw it out. Take out the neck and the bag of giblets. Rinse the turkey and pat it dry. Sea Salt (pink in color) and pepper the inside of the turkey. Rub olive oil all over the outside of the turkey. Put a whole apple and a whole onion inside the turkey. Cook the turkey inside a roasting bag (you don’t have to baste it that way). Follow the size chart on the box with the turkey bag for how long to cook your turkey. When it is done, you will see the apple has popped out of its skin and the onion looks much softer. This adds a little bit of flavor to the turkey and helps it stay moist without being a hard flavor. Peel off the skin, carve and serve. You can even eat the apple and onion if you want. 4. Meatballs Use one pound of grass fed hamburger. Add in about ¾ a cup of Ezekiel 4:9 ® (sprouted grain) bread crumbs, one egg, and about 1 teaspoon of Greek seasoning. Add a splash of either ketchup or A1 sauce, but not much. Mix it all together and form into meatballs. Place in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 10-13 minutes or until browned all over. Cut one open to make sure it is cooked through. I love these with steamed broccoli! 5. Vegetable Soup 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced into coins 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed 2 stalks of celery, chopped 1 tomato, cut into chunks 1 qt organic vegetable broth 1 qt organic free range chicken broth ½ cup of water 2 teaspoons of organic flour or fresh ground flour Put all veggies in a stock pot. Add in both broths. Mix the flour in the ½ cup of water till it looks like milk. You might need slightly more or less flour to get the milky look you want. Add the flour water to the soup. Add more water as needed. Simmer on stove top till all veggies are soft. This is especially good when you get to help pick the veggies yourself! 6. Fajita Salad ½ cup organic sour cream (Full Fat) 2 ½ tbsp lime juice 1 tsp raw sugar or xylitol ¼ tsp each chili powder and ground cumin 4 boneless, skinless free range chicken breast halves, cut into thin strips 1 cup each sliced green and red bell peppers 1 small red onion, thinly sliced into rings ½ cup salsa (fresher the better) 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro 8 cups shredded romaine lettuce ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (2 oz) (Tillamook or Raw Cheese) In a small bowl, combine sour cream 1 ½ tbsp lime juice, sugar or xylitol, chili powder and cumin. Refrigerate dressing till ready to use. In a large skillet or wok, stir chicken over medium heat until no longer pink. Continue to cook chicken until it is lightly browned. Add peppers and onions. Cook for 3 minutes. Add salsa and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tbsp of lime juice and cilantro. Mix well. Remove from heat. Divide lettuce between 4 plates. Top with warm chicken mixture. Spoon over a small amount of dressing. Sprinkle with cheese and serve. If you don’t like onions, you can use 3 colors of bell peppers instead of just 2 colors. It is still very tasty that way. 7. Lasagna Use 6 Ezekiel lasagna noodles or zucchini slices. Boil according to package directions In a large bowl combine one pound of grated mozzarella cheese and 16 oz of small curd organic cottage cheese. Brown one pound of ground organic turkey meat. Mix with a jar of organic spaghetti sauce. In a 9x13 pan put a spoonful of the meat sauce on the bottom and spread it around. Layer noodles (3 across), cheese mixture and meat mixture. Repeat layers one more time. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Let it set for 5 minutes before serving. I love to have fresh cut green beans with the lasagna too. Snacks 5.

Jack-O-Lantern Muffins We make these muffins at Halloween time. You get to do TWO fun things with your family. First you get to carve a pumpkin and then you get to make muffins! Save the eyes and nose and mouth from when you carve your pumpkin. After you have the pumpkin carved, wash the pieces you have saved. Put them on a cookie sheet and bake them for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees or until the pieces are soft. Take them out and peel the skin off the pumpkin. Put the good part in a bowl so it can cool. Then mash it all up. Leave that in one bowl and get another bowl to start making muffins. Mix ¾ cup of organic flour or fresh ground flour (we mix organic whole wheat with organic white flour) ¼ cup raw honey ¼ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum free) ¼ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon nutmeg Add one egg 2 Tablespoons milk (or coconut milk) ¼ cup of pumpkin (that is the eyes and nose and mouth you mashed earlier) 1/8 cup Raw butter Stir all of that together until it is well mixed. Spoon it into muffin pans (use those paper liners to make it easier later) Bake at 400 for 20 minutes. These are great snacks or even in your school lunch! They taste super!!! If you really like this you can double the recipe and make a whole loaf of pumpkin bread. Put it in a loaf pan and bake it for 50 minutes. You can even add in ¼ cup of your favorite nuts if you want to. About the cook She is a age 9 little girl that loves to make food that is by God.
