Spring Juicing Garden
by AndrewIt’s that time of year to start prepping those seed trays for the Spring garden. We here at The Mama Edna Project like to eat, juice and blend the Rainbow. A variety of color in the different types of produce brings with it different vitamins, minerals, micro and phytonutrients. Soooooo, plant lots of different colors when you can or partner with a neighbor or two if space is limited. Trade off what you plant and then trade for varieties you need. Get creative!! Plant something to help feed the world and yourself. More to come as we unleash the soil in our #squarefootgarden!! #juicingforcancer

Turmeric Tuesday 01.08.19
by AndrewHello fellow “juicers” and “blenders”! Let’s kick off our first official #TurmericTuesday of 2019 with a healthy dinner recipe that includes turmeric. And see many other recipes on our Pinterest board. https://www.pinterest.com/mamaednaproject/
Turmeric Chicken Curry
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 1 pound cauliflower rice, fresh
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, fresh
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Ginger, grated
- 1/2 Lime, juice and zest of
- 1 medium white onion
- 1 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp organic turmeric, powder
- 4 tbsp virgin coconut oil
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- Favorite hot sauce or pepper flakes, optional
In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil over medium heat for the cauliflower rice. In a second saute pan, heat the other 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium-high heat to cook the chicken. This dish is a quick one, so cook both at the same time. Add the rice to the first pan and spread thinly across hot pan, stirring occasionally until cooked through but still firm to the teeth. Salt and pepper to taste. While the rice cooks, saute the brown the chicken, turning occasionally. At the halfway mark of being done, add the onions and saute with the chicken for about two minutes. Then add the turmeric and stir to brown the spice. Then add the ginger and garlic. Cook one minute. Stir in the coconut milk. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat. Then add the coconut aminos, lime juice and lime zest and cilantro and serve over the cauliflower rice. Add hot sauce or pepper flakes to desired “heat” level. Enjoy!!

Giving Tuesday Is November 29th, 2016
by Andrew#juicingforcancer
Tuesday, November 29th, 2016 is #GivingTuesday! Help The Mama Edna Project raise enough money to provide 5 “tool kits” to 5 folks with cancer! We will need approximately $2500 to fulfill that goal! Please donate. Go to our about page on Facebook or our website ABOUT page for the address to where you can send donations of checks, cash, new or gently used juicers, cook books or other parts of the tool kit.The “tool kit” can be found under the categories on the right side of our page.
The Tool Kit, updated for 2016
by AndrewAnytime someone with cancer reaches out to us here at The Mama Edna Project, or when someone is referred to us who is in need of help, we put together a “tool kit” of items we have found to be very useful during the cancer treatment process. This tool kit has evolved since the first time we put it together for Mama Edna herself in January 2013 and it continues to evolve as we learn more about the process from the sources from which we draw information. This tool kit is both helpful in the realm of nutrition during the cancer treatment as well as educational and even morale boosting in many cases. In 2013, The Mama Edna Project assembled and donated 10 such tool kits for 10 different clients and helped other folks who actually could afford their own but needed direction about what was needed. Since then, we have assembled over 40 such kits. And in 2017, we are aiming high. These tool kits are quite pricey, so ongoing donations are truly needed to continue our work successfully. Listed below are the items we currently include in the cancer-fighting tool kit:
-One slow-juicer (average cost $400), usually Hurom or Breville
-A cookbook called The Juicing Bible by Pat Crocker ($27) or Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy Juice ($22.50)
-A cookbook called The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen by Rebecca Katz ($35)
-A book called Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips by Kris Carr (for women, we are searching for an equivalent for men) ($12)
-Wheatgrass growing kit or wheatgrass delivered weekly ($10/week)
-Several bags of candied ginger (helps with nausea, replaces candy, rich in antioxidants) ($20)
-A jar of coconut oil (for cooking) ($12)
-A bottle of almond oil (used for cooking to raise pH as well as an ointment for radiation burns) ($15)
-Initial load of produce for in-home juicing demonstration and first week of juicing ($100)
-8 quarts of Magic Mineral Broth (MMB) that we make and freeze for clients (used to replace water when making soups, stews or anytime a clear liquid is used in cooking, MMB is supercharged with nutrients, also, clients who are having issues with eating enough, can use MMB as a hot drink to add vitamins to the diet) (ingredients approximately $40, production costs are just a labor of love from myself as part of the cause)
-Information packets that we collect from various cancer organizations and oncology/radiology offices ($2/copy)
-Organic, dark chocolate (70% or higher) to replace sugary desserts and adds beneficial vitamins and micronutrients ($5)
-High quality honey to replace processed sugar ($20)
-Almond flour for baking ($12)
-Small, inexpensive, random items that may make individuals more comfortable during cancer treatment (various) like lip balms, olive oil, skin care items, etc. ($30 or more)
As you can see, this list is both quite expansive AND expensive, totaling over $750 for just the initial visit, all at ZERO cost to the client who has both financial and medical need of this tool kit. Our goal in 2017 is to assist 15 to 20 new clients. We are also looking to expand our volunteer team and fundraising efforts to grow our reach. One new goal for 2017 is to begin a program that offers rides to cancer treatments. Many cancer victims either don’t drive or cannot drive in due to current medical issues. We will be looking for volunteers soon to help folks get to and from their appointments, help grocery shop, and run other errands for those who do not have help.
Please continue to like AND SHARE our Facebook page so we may reach our goal. Together, we can help folks have a better chance of recovery and a better quality of life while going through cancer treatments. We always encourage our clients to share as much of their healing stories as they feel comfortable in doing. We like to post these stories, along with pictures, to our website and social media platforms for everyone to read.
Together, we can kick cancer to the curb, one juice drink at a time.
