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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Milk And Crackers – Making the Most Of Almond Milk Pulp

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

I had a former father-in-law who loved milk and crackers. He would crush saltine crackers into a bowl and then pour milk over them. I can’t imagine a dish that is more void of nutrition or more lackluster in presentation… Enough nostalgia, here’s a new twist on milk and crackers. Plan to make your almond [...]

Healthy Thanksgiving Feast

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

What a great time Alan and I had yesterday, feasting on all the lucsious living and nutritonally dense food we had prepared for Thanksgiving. We were reveling in the fact that we could have such a rich Thanksgiving Feast and know that every spoonful we consumed was actually good for us. What a novel concept! We remembered [...]

Healthy Camping Food

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Last week we were on a much needed vacation. Because funds were tight, we decided to get away by going tent camping and are we ever glad we did. There is nothing like going camping to get back to nature, simplify life, and gain a renewed perspective about priorities. Of course tent camping in October [...]
