The body that heals itself…

Just a little food for thought on a Monday morning… Isn’t it an amazing thing that the human body has the innate, natural ability to heal itself?  This means that the secrets to health and wellness lie not in bandaids and gimmicks or chemicals and elixirs, but within the natural function of the human body. …

Hail to the Kale…

Kale is like that ever-smiling, friendly neighbor you see out walking his dog in the mornings. He’s lean, full of cheer, and just wants to give you a pat on the back. Kale is that in veggie form; it just wants to make you feel great! Kale is a SuperFood by even the superest of…

Sell the goat…

Gather ‘round it’s story time… A villager lived in a tiny house with his wife, 6 children, mother-in-law, a cow, and some chickens. It was making him crazy. So he went to the village rabbi and asked for help. The rabbi said he could solve the problem: he told the man to buy a goat….

Just add eggs…

I usually make a variation of this when I have limited time to whip up a meal or when I just can’t think of anything else to make and it works great for…well…breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner.  It’s pretty simple really.  Just take whatever vegetables, green leafies, leftover meat, and/or beans that you have, saute them up, and then just…

Be flexible…

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. On the surface that seems like just a humorous quip; maybe it gives you a little chuckle.   But wait…give it a minute…swish it around a bit…and think about it again.  It is actually very true on several levels. From a physical standpoint…

Go green…and leafy…

Is it just me or are food product advertisements taking over the world!? Well those and pharmaceutical ads…but that is a story for another day. Everywhere I look I see an ad for some colorfully packaged provision boasting an above average nutrition content, claiming weight loss benefits, or making promises about various other health topics. …

Nuts for health…!

Jonesin’ for a snack? Instead of reaching for the box of processed crackers, the bag of greasy potato chips, or the stash of sweets try munching on some mixed nuts.  Make your own trail mix in the bulk section of the grocery store and just keep a jar of it on hand.  This just happens…

Snackin’…

I have to give credit to my dear cousin Brita for this one; a lady who knows her way around the kitchen.  I really love chickpeas–they have such a great buttery flavor and they are a wonderful source of fiber, zinc, folate, and protein. Did you know that chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans? So…
