THE POWER OF EINKORNIt’s no secret that more and more children and adults in America are developing a great sensitivity to modern wheat. Since wheat is found in so many products, it is imperative for people to have an alternative. Einkorn is one of the solutions for anyone who desires to enjoy hearty baked goods without the side effects.
I’d like to take you on a historical journey, and one that a good teacher of mine, D. Gary Young, has written about in his book “Ancient Einkorn: Today’s Staff of Life”.
Gary Young grew up on a farm in Idaho. His father was a man of nature who understood the soil, how to grow plants and observe the mountains. Gary’s father once said, “Nature will always tell you what’s real — she’ll always tell you the truth.” Gary learned a lot in his formative years by living off the land, farming, and hunting wild game when the family needed meat for sustenance. It wasn’t an easy life, but it caused Gary to ask many questions. Gary set out to learn about the history of wheat and alterations through modern hybridization. Gary realized that the wheat he and his sister helped bundle as children stood over 4 feet tall and had been harvested using 3 horses pulling an old binding machine. Versus the hybridized wheat that was widely harvested in America grew to only 14 inches tall and was processed with electric machinery. The differences in wheat varieties between the 1940’s and 1970’s is drastic.
In 1970, Dr Norman Borlaug won a Nobel Peace Prize for his discovery in hybridized wheat. Since then, wheat has become a staple in the American diet because of how easy and seemingly inexpensive it is to purchase. Bread, pasta, pizza, cookies, cake and pie crust are all made with white flour or whole wheat flour. The long term effects of eating today’s modern wheat has not yet been fully realized.
Over the years, wellness clients have come to me complaining of indigestion. One of the first things I ask them is how many wheat products they consume in a day or week. Sometimes abnormal levels of inflammation and even brain fog can be caused by the things we consume that are not compatible to our body. It grieves my spirit knowing that simple changes to a person’s diet, if they are informed and choose to make the change, can result in much greater overall quality of life.
If you’re ready to get the full benefits from the baked goods you love, then I encourage you to try Einkorn — today’s staff of life!
“Einkorn, with its 1 genome, 14 chromosomes, low glycemic index, and very low gluten levels, is definitely our best choice! It is an ancient mineral-and-vitamin-dense grain that is very different from the 42-chromosome, man-made, genetically manipulated modern wheat that threatens the health of the people of the world today.”(p. 72 of “Ancient Einkorn: Today’s Staff of Life” by D. Gary Young)

EINKORN IN BAKING
I have personally used Einkorn as a staple in many of my baking recipes. Homemade cinnamon rolls are amongst our family’s favorite treats! My sons, Joseph and Daniel, love kitchen time with mom during holidays. Inevitably our time baking in the kitchen turns into great conversations and the boys now teach their friends about Einkorn. My daughter Elizabeth has gotten creative with Einkorn and recently tried making homemade tortillas.
I hope you enjoy the recipes including Einkorn in my “Eating For Life” cookbook. Together, let's raise awareness about the blessing that Einkorn can be as for healthy cooking and baking.

Whole Body Nutrition With NingXia Red®
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all had time to make 3 healthy meals a day -- including the grocery shopping and meal prepping and clean-up? For most individuals and families, that's just really challenging to do seven days a week.In addition, it is practically impossible to get all the nutrients our body needs from just the foods we eat. This is why Ningxia Red, by Young Living, is such a blessing to my family and many of my wellness clients each year. It is a solution that gives our body the live nutritious fuel that our cells are craving.
Ningxia Red is a delicious way to power your day!
Packed with powerful antioxidants and superfoods, Ningxia Red features Wolfberry, Plum, Aronia, Cherry, Blueberry, and Pomegranate juices and extracts to start your day off right. It also contains a blend of premium essential oils, including Orange, Lemon, Tangerine and Yuzu. These ingredients combine to help prevent oxidative stress, support normal cellular function, and promote healthy energy levels.*
The Benefits of NingXia Red
Ningxia Red is so full of life that the very cells of your body seem to come alive with each daily dose. This juice is clinically proven to support our physical energy levels, improve our sleep patterns and reduce our daily stress, to improve mental well-being. In addition, Ningxia Red supports our healthy vision! So, if you are a family looking for ways to bridge the nutritional gap in your diet, Ningxia Red is the way to go.
3 Ways To Enjoy Ningxia RedONE: Each of our family members has their own “signature” Ningxia Red morning smoothie! Some of us drink a 2-ounce shot straight, some of us put it in a blender with frozen fruit, and those of us on the go, pour it in a shaker bottle and combine it with other nutrients on our way out the door.
TWO: For younger children, there is nothing like a Ningxia Red frozen popsicle!
THREE: We love it in deserts! During “Eating for Life” you will learn how to make a Ningxia Red Parfait, (shown in this photo) curated by a beautiful restaurateur and good friend from Vashon Island, Melinda Powers!
Note: a daily dose of NingXia Red is 2-4 ounces a day. A NingXia Red 2-pack is enough for one person to enjoy 2-ounces per day for 1 month.
TESTIMONIALS
Elizabeth Rose ~ Texas: "One of the first things on my travel packing list is NingXia Red. It has been my constant "adventure buddy" for over 10 years. Backpacking, camping, kayaking, biking, horse back riding -- you name it -- I take the single serving NingXia Red packets with me as a support to my daily health regimen. For me, it works better than coffee to help me wake up in the morning. I add 2 ounces to my first glass of water or protein shake, and often times I take another 2 ounces in the afternoon to give my body the fuel for sustained energy throughout a full day."
Daniel Williams ~ Arizona: "One of my very first activities each day is taking a shot of NingXia Red! It helps with my clarity as I start my day. On workout days I put it in my protein shake to give me that extra boost of energy I need to get me started."
Lisa Trenary ~ Texas: "As a photographer, I love to carry NingXia Red packets for that extra boost of clarity and clean energy it gives me when shooting for multiple days! I simply can't be without it!"
Susan McGinnis ~ Texas: "One of the most amazing things I notice when I consistently take Ningxia red in the morning is that I do not have sugar cravings in the afternoon like I used to get! It’s a win win for me! All the healthy benefits and not craving the unhealthy things!"
