Celebrate a Different Culture!

By


eSutras Organics is all about diversity. We celebrate all things different and out of the box. We also pride ourselves on being unique and open to all walks of life. That’s today’s Monday Recipe will be celebrating a different culture. Most people know, but for those of you who don’t the religion of Judaism celebrated Passover in April. Passover is one of the most widely celebrated Jewish religions in the world. It’s a week-long festival celebrating the story of Exodus told in the bible. One food commonly used during this holiday is matzo, unleavened bread made solely from flour and water. It is continually worked from mixing through baking, so that it is not allowed to rise. The Torah says that it is because the Hebrews left Egypt with such haste that there was no time to allow baked bread to rise; thus flat, unleavened bread, matzo, is a reminder of the rapid departure of the Exodus. Today’s recipe is for Matzo Brownies. They are a modern take on the old tradition of eating matzo for Passover.

Ingredients:
·         4 eggs
·         2 cups eSutras Organics Raw Cane Juice sugar
·         1 cup butter, melted

·         4 ounces eSutras Organic Vegan Dark Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, melted

  3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.

Mother Earth, Mother Nature, We the Children & Easter

By
Did you know the first Greek God was actually a Goddess?. he is Gaia, or Mother Earth, who created herself out of primordial chaos. From her fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must return after their allotted span of life is over.  Gaia, as Mother Nature, personifies the entire ecosystem of Planet Earth.  Mother Nature is always working to achieve and maintain harmony, wholeness and balance within the environment. Mother Nature heals, nurtures and supports all life on this planet, and ultimately all life and health depend on Her. In time, Nature heals all ills. The way of Mother Gaia is the passive, feminine, Yin way of healing. All we need to do to regain our health is to return to the bosom of Mother Nature and live in accordance with Her laws. The Gaia archetype underlies all notions of the Nature Cure. Mother Nature is a healing goddess for the ancients whose glory was celebrated each spring, long before organized religion came into...
