Monday Meal Planning
TweetMy husband has been complaining that suddenly he’s seeing an increase in the waistline. I think it’s a combination of two things… his renewed love of cashews, his renewed fitness plan (the first four weeks you most likely are just seeing increases due to water retention in the muscles) and his love of all things …
Organic Brew
TweetSo what sort of miracle does my husband want for Easter? It’s an Organic Kolsch. Wikipedia defineds Kölsch, also written Koelsch, as a local beer speciality brewed in Cologne, Germany. It is a clear beer with a bright straw-yellow hue, and it has a prominent, but not extreme, hoppiness. It is less bitter than the standard German pale lager. Furthermore, …
Smashed Carrots
TweetI get tired of having the two favorite options for sides – mashed potatoes or smashed cauliflower. I had to find something else. Then I stumbled on a Smashed Carrots recipe in and old issue of Cookie Magazine and revamped it for my family. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons chopped shallots 1/4 teaspoon …
Sprouted Hummus, too.
TweetI guess I should have called this ‘Sprouted Hummus 2′ … but you know how I am. Anyway some of you weren’t so keen on my last sprouted hummus recipe. I found this great recipe in the Navitas Naturals videos and one of my favorite foodies, Superfoods With Jules! I wanted to share it since …
Organic Power Slices
TweetI purchased some Yucan Root slices this week at the store to give a try. I wanted to try out the powder as a sweetener, but they didn’t have any- and I saw these. On the Navitas Naturals website that say that “Yacon has an outstanding reputation for being one of the healthiest alternative sweeteners …
Warm Tomato Salad
TweetAnd easy side – and Dr. Oz recommended, is this warm tomato salad. And this is great not just for me, it’s a healthy meal for my husband. Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen say there are 11 things a man should eat every day –or nearly every day –to keep things running smoothly. As well …
Yacon Root
Tweet The YACON is a perennial plant grown in the Andes for its crisp, sweet-tasting tuberous root. The texture and flavor have been described as a cross between a fresh apple and watermelon which is why it is sometimes referred to as the apple of the earth. The root is composed mostly of water and …
Healing with Probiotics
TweetI’ve been thinking about probiotics a lot over the last few weeks – especially because I’ve eliminated most of the dairy in my diet (except for the whey protein which is the purest source of dairy you could get with little or no fat, and no lactose at all). I bought my daughter some Good …
Sweet Potato and Chipolte Field Roast Sausage Casserole
TweetCows that produce breast milk, radiated tuna and genetically modified wheat in Canada – makes you want to put you head in the sand. But since it’s snowing like crazy here in Utah in mid-April, I guess I can’t do that. So what am I going to do instead? I guess since it’s National Beer Day …
Nutrition and Knee Pain
TweetI recently had a visit to my fitness blog from a 56 year old Grandma with a bad knee who was looking for a natural alternative to try to help her knee without surgery, since she really wasn’t completely to the point of needed in. I wanted to share my response to her with all …
