I've gotten several emails regarding the oatmeal soap recipe I made earlier

today (it's firming up so nicely, and looks sooooo good!) I've gone nuts

trying to find the original poster, but this is all I saved... ,

you're famous now! At least in my house, anyway ;> If you recognize this

posting as yours.. please, come forth, and claim the recognition you deserve!

Original Posting:

Oatmeal Soap:

6 lbs. Veg. shortening (soybean and cottonseed oils)

5 cups of water with 6 teaspoons sugar added (Lye Calc. 36 oz. water)

13 oz. lye (Lye Calc. 12.09 - 12.48 ozs.)

combine at 120 degrees, and at light trace:

add 4 cups quick cook oatmeal

add eo's of you choice if desired...

I don't pre-grind the oatmeal. It doesn't seem to be needed. The

soap turns out nice and white and spotty with the oatmeal. I aged

this about 4 weeks and it was great, after almost two months, though,

it is much better, and the oatmeal seems better " bonded " with

the soap. It lathers like mad. Natural and rustic looking which I

like. You could pulverize the oatmeal in a food processor and

combine it with the soap as a powder. I'm sure it would be just as

creamy in texture but not as mottled looking... personal preference I

think. It is a wonderful face soap. When used with a loofah or

sponge it practically foams! Even my husband likes it!

Thanks, Michele

Hi Everyone:

Does anyone have a recipe to relieve arthritis?

If you make a lotion, add EMU oil to it. EMU oil is a natural

Well , I use the traditional method of rolling

nori, I have a little bamboo roller device. I got it for

$1.99 at one of my local Asian grocers. You can probably

find them at health food stores too, for about a

gazillion dollars. It's difficult to explain how to

make, I place the nori roll on the bamboo mat, apply the

filling as a layer on top of the nori paper, then, using

the bamboo mat I roll it up, stopping and gently

squeezing at several stops to ensure a firm roll. Then,

at the end of the rolling process, I dab the last half

inch or so of the nori paper with water. Moistening the

nori at the end is akin to when you lick an envelope and

then seal. The nori roll becomes naturally adhesive when

moistened. One good concluding squeeze to seal shut,

then I feel immense relief that I will not be without my

homemade good food in the outside world (which is

unfriendly to us!!! a source of poisons!)

Glad you liked the recipe, it even works with the strong

flavor of ground lamb heart mixed in with your average

healthy ground red meat. Extra nutritious! Bahh h h h h!

You could go to the store and get olive oil too. That with the oils you

have would make a good soap. You can make your own recipe at the lye

Hi,

Don't know what kind of recipes yall are looking for, but here are two I

posted a few weeks ago. They are based on 500g. batches.

Angie

The Herbarie...Visit us at:  http://www.theherbarie.com for Body Care

Products and Bulk Ingredients...Botanical Extracts and Proteins, Ultra-Mild

Surfactant Blends, Conditioning Emulsifiers.

Shea Butter Scrub

Oils 25% = 125 grams

Shea Butter 25% = 125 grams

Salt 50% = 250 grams

FO/EO as desired

Heat shea butter and oils (your choice, I used olive and jojoba), begin

mixing and then add salt. Place in ice water bath and continue to mix until

crumbly.

This scrub will have a crumbly, buttery texture that is easy to apply to

skin, but melts when washed off with warm water. This scrub does leave oil on

the skin, but absorbs for me and feels great after a few minutes---if you

want you can add around 20-30% glycerin to the mix--maybe 100grams--to make a

creamier, less oily scrub. To make a scrub that leaves even less of an oily

feel to the skin, try adding 5-10% surfactant (I used polyglucose/lactylate

blend) to the scrub--maybe 40 grams. It would be a good idea to add an

antioxidant (like tocopherol or vitamin E) to the scrub.

Satin Scrub

Conditioning Emulsifier 10% = 50grams

Oils 30% = 150grams

Glycerin 10% = 50grams

Salt 50% = 250grams

Heat Conditioning Emulsifier, Oils, Glycerin until melted. Remove from heat

and begin mixing. Add salt, place in ice water bath and continue to mix until

cool. Add tocopherol and eo/fo as desired. This has a crumbly texture that

melts away nicely in the shower to leave a satiny, nongreasy

Found this Origins copy cat posted on That Home Site Soapers page posted by

zippimom. I have used it minus the pennyroyal as it's listed on the

International Aromatherapy Federation's list of no-no's.

Barb D.

Copy Cat of Origins salt rub

Posted by zippimom (zippimom@...) on Sun, Mar 25, 01 at 9:43

This is $28.50 a jar at the store. I just love it!!!!

1/2 cup sea salt

1/2 cup sweet almond oil (you can also use extra virgin olive oil but almond oil

is nicer & rinses off more easily)

4 natural vitamin E capsules - Censored with a sterilized pin and squeeze

contents into mixture

6 - 10 drops each of the following essential oils - peppermint, pennyroyal,

orange, spearmint and rosemary (this combination is important if you really want

to recreate the wonderful aromatherapy of Origins Salt Rub)

Mix all ingredients well and allow to sit for at least one hour before first

use. Massage lightly into the skin with a light touch until you are used to it.

Rinse skin thoroughly. No need to apply lotion after using this!

Store in a well sealed jar. Origins uses a heavy glass jar with a hinged and

rubber gasket sealed lid that works well and can be found in most craft stores.

Obviously, always use caution with glass in the bath area.

I imagine you can use any recipe that you like ( if you have one already) and

make it in the 116 oz total oils range(7.25 pounds) to my best calculations.

I am sure there is a tried and true formula for this, by figuring the area of

your molds X some amount of oil, but I usually have to back into these

things my own way. My recipes that call for 8 pounds of oils (128) ounces

total make about 40-4 ounce bars. I would add the Kaolin at about a tsp per

pound or about a 1/2 c. for your batch. Maybe someone can give you a more

scientific answer. If that doesn't help you, I'll send a basic recipe. But

you may have one you like and you can multiply it out if it is a small batch.

recipe

I made this last night and it was quite good.

1 grated sweet potato

1 grated sweet onion

1 grated carrot

salt

Mix above with 1 beaten egg and 2 tbs spelt flour (or quinoa)

Form into patties (mine didn't stay together very well) and fry in olive oil

until brown and flip over to cook other side. I ended up just mixing it all

together like hash browns.

Fool Yourself Cookies:

1/2 banana, mashed

1 TBSP Peanut Butter

1/3 cup Oatmeal

1 pkg. Swiss Miss No Sugar Added Hot Cocoa

1/4 tsp. Baking Powder (NOT soda)

1/2 scoop protein powder

Mix all ingredients thoroughly and drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheet. Bake

at 300 degrees for 10 minutes.

Makes 6 cookies, which equals one MEAL (one serving carb/one serving protein).

Raylene's Jello:

http://www.taskoski.com/raylene/home.shtm

(on the right of the main page)

Protein Pancakes:

1/2 cup dry oatmeal

1/2 cup cottage cheese

4 egg whites

1/2 cap of vanilla extract

Put it all in the blender until smooth then pour it onto a hot griddle. Remember

to use lower heat for a longer time so they cook in the middle. Top with Log

Cabin sugar free syrup.

Recipe

I am looking for a couple of recipes that I used a few years ago when

I was following the Body for Life program. Have recently moved and

everything is in storage. One was with jello/cottage cheese and

fruit. The other one is oatmeal/chocolate protein powder and natural

peanut butter. There was also a pancake recipe with oatmeal and egg

whites. Thanks for any help with these, I remember they were life

savers along with the chocolate/oatmeal cookies.

,

You might try grinding a little flax seed and mixing it in. Heidi suggested

let it sit just covered in enough water to just cover it as a substitute for

Xantium Gum or Guar Gum. I tried it with salmon patties and rice cracker

crumbs and my patties fried good in olive oil. They would probably do even

better on the Foreman grill. I just wanted a change. thank you for

the veggie suggestion. It sounds like it would taste good.

thanks for the tip. I didn't even think of using soaked flax seeds.

[Guest guest]

I tried making the sweet potato pancakes listed in CR4YT a few weeks

ago. The main differences in the recipes are cilantro instead of the

carrots you used and proportionally less onion.

I thought they were great but I need to come up with a better way to

grate the sweet potatoes. I didn't have a grate so I used a mini

food processor. Besides making a big mess the processor was too much

for the sweet potatoes. I ended up with quite a bit of juiced or

mashed sweet potatoes instead of just grated.

Did you use a simple hand grate? Was it effective and easy to do?

I used a simple hand grater and it worked fine. Did get some on the floor but I

don't have a very big work area. Next time I will add some parsley too. The

carrots add a sweetness to them.

I use double the water of the oatmeal. example 1/2 c oatmeal you would use 1 c

water. I sometimes even add a bit more because you are adding other stuff

(powder/oatmeal)

I mix the oatmeal (quick cooking) and water, stir, microwave 1 minute. Then I

stir again, add the PB and protein powder, and microwave 1 more minute. Then

stir and eat.

I hate oatmeal and I like this pretty well (did NOT like the applesauce

thing..gross! LOL)

I do not add splenda but it might help as well.

I can only tolerate it if I add the protein powder and goodies after

I cook it. Use enough protein powder for about 18-20 grams of

protein. Your label should tell you how many scoops it is. The vary

from brand to brand.

It is easy. Wash the 6 to 8 green mangoes thoroughly. Slice off a cheek (one

side) and then slice them horizontally four or five times depending on how thin

or thick you want it. Do not peel. Put them in a sterilized jar and add about

a quarter of a cup sea salt and boiled water, just enough to cover the mangoes,

that has been cooled at room temperature. Cover. Leave for two to three weeks

until it has fermented. Some people like adding sweetener with the salt.

Plant-based digestive enzymes - Cin

From: " sampey99 " <sampey99@...>

Thanks Carol, I am already taking a digestive enzyme, but am not sure

if

it

is plant-based or not. Does it matter?

Cin

------------------------------------

Cin, You need plant-based enzymes to replace the enzymes that are

cooked

out

of food that you eat. Your body cannot make plant-based enzymes.

When

you

cook something to a temp of 115 or more, you kill all the enzymes in

that

food - so you need to replace them.
