Divas Working It Out

Divas Working It Out Welcome to Diva's Working It Out ® a non-profit Health, Fitness & Wellness Support Group !! Follow us:

We created our nonprofit to promote wellness and fitness to Divas in New England and all around the world., with the idea that the Divas will share their new health and wellness knowledge to their children and families. The idea started when founder Cashawna was diagnosed with pre-diabetes in addition to having family members who suffered from many health conditions. It transitioned to having friends meet on the weekends in the Boston area to take walks as a group and manifested to a movement of changing the way we think about wellness on a wider scale. Growing up as a child, we ate good food, but it wasn't healthy. We are hopeful that our Divas share their new found health knowledge with their children. Join our organization and we will help find a diva fitness buddy near you. Use this page to share your health and wellness stories with the world. Join us in promoting wellness for all Divas and their children & families! Whether it is the mental stress that life can sometimes bring, or your physical health. Please note that this page does not support direct marketing/sales or health drinks or any kind. Any posts referencing direct sales will be deleted.

Veggie Stuffed Mini Bells & Mushrooms

Cups:
1lb Mini-Sweet Bell Peppers
5 Medium Sized Mushrooms

Filling:
2 Zucchini
5 Carrots (peeled)
1 Stalk of Celery (or you can use homemade celery salt)
1/2 Cup Mushroom (see note in cups)
A little over 1/3 Cup Macadamia Nuts
2 Large Garlic Cloves
3 Dates
1/2 Cup Packed Parsley
1 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon of roughly chopped Sage
2 Teaspoons Fennel
1 1/2 Teaspoons Onion Powder
1 1/2 Teaspoons Paprika
1/2 Teaspoon Oregano
1/2 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper

Method:
In a food processor using the shredding blade, shred the zucchini, celery and carrots and place into a bowl.Now use the S-blade and place HALF of the mixture into the food processor along with the 1/2 cup of chopped mushrooms that you scooped out. Pulse several times until a ground like mixture is acquired. Place back into the bowl and do the same for the other half of filling.

Using the S-blade, add the macadamia nuts into a food processor and pulse about 10 times break up into small pieces. Place into the bowl with the rest of the filling.Add the two garlic cloves, parsley and sage into the food processor and pulse until chopped up.Add the 3 dates and blend into a paste. Place into the bowl with the other ingredients.

In the bowl, add in the spices of fennel, onion powder, paprika, oregano and crushed red pepper. With clean hands, mix everything together super well. Next start stuffing the peppers and mushrooms. Press someone firm into the cups and round off the stuffing.
Place into the dehydrator on 115 Degrees for 8-10. If you don’t care if they are raw or not, you an always bake these in the oven. I would say on 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

The Healthiest Pizza you could ever have!

Ingredients
1/2 cup organic/activated almonds (I used 2Die4 live foods brand)

1/4 cup of beets for color & added flavor.

Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius. Place all ingredients except olive oil and coconut flour in food processor and blend until you reach a dough like consistency.Sift flour across a chopping board and onto hands so it doesn’t stick and start shaping dough into 3 pizza bases. Seal pizzas entirely by brushing olive oil over each one and place on a line baking tray to place in oven.Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on edges.Top with your favourite toppings, I used ripe avocado, truss tomatoes, kalamata olives, basil and fresh chilli!

Eggplant Bacon

Ingredients:
2 medium eggplant
1-2 chipotles (dried or in a can with adobo sauce)
2 TBSP maple syrup
1/2 cup water
2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
2 TBSP date paste
1 TBSP oil
pinch salt

Instructions:
Using a mandoline or V-slicer, create thin slices of eggplant. If using dried chipotles, soak in 1/2 cup of warm water until soft. Use this water in the recipe in place of the 1/2 cup of water called for. In a blender combine all of the ingredients except the eggplant and blend until well combined. In a large bowl, pour the sauce over the eggplant slices. Toss to coat each slice in the spicy mixture. On a Teflex-lined dehydrator tray, spread out the slices in a single layer (I used 3 trays for this recipe). Dehydrate at 115F for 12 hours. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature.
