Are you “dog ear-ing” your copy of Total Memory Makeover so that you can easily find those tips and exercises that help you improve your memory and make your life more manageable? 

If so you’ll be happy to know that in 2013 you can have some of this information at hand in the form of daily reminders.  Summer isn’t usually the time that we start to think about purchasing a new calendar.  For most people that time is mid January when it’s almost impossible to find the one you want and we find ourselves settling for anything that’s going to give us the day and date…even if it features cartoons or hobbies in which we have absolutely NO interest. 

But since it’s almost June we’re already HALFWAY TO 2013 !!!   It’s not too soon to pre-order your Total Memory Makeover Calendar.  During the end of year rush you’ll be ahead of the game AND you’ll have something that’s not only going to organize your days but help you organize your life as well.  It’s like spending a year with Marilu as your personal life coach, giving you tips and hints each and every day!

Here’s another great article about Marilu and Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory.  This appeared earlier this week in HispanicBusiness.com

Of course each of these articles that we’re posting gives an overview of the subject and some great quotes by Marilu, but they are only the tip of the iceberg.  If you don’t have a copy of this New York Times Bestseller you can purchase yours right here on our homepage.  Enjoy going through the exercises and reading about how this information can apply to you. 

Next month you’ll have an opportunity to go through the exercises with MARILU HERSELF when she leads us through a 5 day class right here at Marilu.com.

Here’s an easy lunch or light dinner that’s pretty easy to put together (and very flexible).

The cookbook – The 30 Minute Vegan by Mark Reinfeld & Jennifer Murray – is one of Viva La Vegan coach Kyra’s favorites.

Mediterranean Hummus Wrap
from The 30 Minute Vegan by Mark Reinfeld & Jennifer Murray
Green * Serves 4

4 whole-grain flour tortillas
1 recipe Traditional Hummus (recipe follows)
8 leaves romaine lettuce, chopped
1 tomato, sliced
1/2 cucumber, cut into half moons
1/2 cup kalamata olives, chopped
1/2 cup grated carrot (optional)

Prepare the hummus according to the directions in the following recipe.

Lay out the tortillas, spread with your desired quantity of hummus, and top with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olives and carrot. Fold in the sides toward the center, roll it up, and enjoy!

Traditional Hummus
from The 30 Minute Vegan by Mark Reinfeld & Jennifer Murray
Blue * Makes 1-1/2 cups

1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans*
2 Tablespoons tahini (sesame butter)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tablespoon water*
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons soy sauce (to make it gluten free, use wheat-free tamari)

Process all the ingredients in a food processor (or Vitamix!) until well combined.

*We like to drain the beans, but reserve the liquid and add it back into the hummus as it’s blending. Sometimes we use all the liquid, sometimes we don’t. And sometimes we add extra water.

You may wish to add more water, for a thinner consistency. Start with 1 Tablespoon at a time.

It is possible to mash up the garbanzo beans with a fork if you do not have a food processor, then add all the other ingredients for a much chunkier hummus.

Something fun for breakfast!

This recipe is from The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook: 125 Easy and Delicious Recipes to Jump-Start Weight Loss and Help You Feel Great, by Dr. Neal Barnard and Robyn Webb.

Banana Ginger Pancakes
Green * Serves 4

1-1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons agave nectar
1-1/4 cups vanilla soy milk
3 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
vegetable oil cooking spray (or vegetable oil on a paper towel to wipe the pan)

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt. In another bowl, combine the agave nectar, soy milk, applesauce, and vanilla. Add the liquid to the flour mixture. Mix until just combined (the batter will be lumpy). Add the bananas.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. The pancake is ready to flip when tiny bubbles appear on the top and burst, and the pancake is lightly browned on the edges. Flip the pancake and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the underside is lightly browned. Adjust your heat so that the pancakes cook for about 1-2 minutes per side.
