Eliminate the White this Christmas

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

There are so many events this time of year where we will be assaulted with the white stuff - I’m talking white sugar and flour specifically. For those of you who have courageously eliminated this poison from your diet, you may be tempted to indulge (I know I am). So what can a mostly raw [...]

Deep Breathing for Good Health

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Yesterday a client came in to my office exclaiming how wonderful he felt since he had been making it a point to go outside daily for a breath of fresh air. Getting oxygenated is necessary for great health.
Think about how important oxygen is - without it we die. Oxygen is carried in the blood to [...]

A Picture Of Our Home Garden

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

With the high cost of produce and because we want to use our land wisely we decided to start a small garden several weeks ago. Mind you, when I say small I mean small (3′ x 15′), but it is actually an experiment for a much larger garden possibly in the spring or later.
Jean mentioned [...]

Think Globally, Act Locally

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

One of the passions of our heart is to share with as many people as possible the good news about living food. Some of the effective ways to date that we have shared our passion is through developing a web site, starting a blog, recording podcasts and even developing a vegan meal planner to help [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

Walking through the grocery store one day I saw a food magazine in the check out line. The picture on the cover was of a chocolate peanut butter pie - formerly Alan’s favorite. Food magazines are great inspiration for new living and whole food recipes. My brain immediately went to work…how can this old favorite pie [...]

Bizarro’s - A Poor Choice for Lunch

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

In general people seem to have this idea that eating healthy means eating bland, unsatisfying fare. Nothing could be further from the truth. Transitioning to a mostly living, whole food vegan lifestyle has never been so satisfying, energizing and healing.
This point really hit home yesterday when Alan and I got a screw in our tire [...]

Three Giant Steps to Health

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

It’s 8:45 AM. Already today, I’ve spent time praying and meditating, doing chores, exercising in the beautiful Florida morning, tending the vegetable garden and now I’ve just sat down to enjoy some liquid sunshine (aka living OJ) I just squeezed for us. Life is grand!
It was not that long ago that I felt life was a [...]

Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

It’s orange season in Florida again and Alan bought our first bag of oranges at Harvey’s Groves last week. Fall is probably my favorite time of year in Florida because the weather is so beautiful, the tourists have not arrived yet and we have many varieties of citrus to delight our palate.
At Harvey’s, they offer [...]

On Becoming a Morning Person

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

My mother had a saying if I was grumpy in the morning, “Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?” Since I am not a morning person and never have been (though I think that’s changing, so read on) I heard that a lot growing up.
They say wisdom comes with [...]
