I have been using avocado like it's going out of style.  When I make a salad dressing, the oil in the recipe gets replaced by half of a ripe avocado.  Smoothies take on an extra special smoothie-ness with an avocado.  Baked goods like corn bread, muffins, rolls and cookies (sweetened naturally with honey, of course) are super moist and bind well when I add an avocado and ground flax seed to replace the oil and egg in the recipe.  Avocado can get a bad wrap at times because of its fat content; however, when used as a whole food, avocado has many fantastic health benefits.   This  Mercola.com  article lists many beneficial nutrients such as potassium, fiber, vitamins B and E, folic acid and many more.  While being rich in nutrients, it also has been shown to have protective and restorative properties for the liver as well as cancer fighting properties.  Don't use processed avocado oil, unless you put it on your skin!  There are many great ...

Life has been quite busy for me, but our life style has remained unchanged.  We are living in an area where it is necessary to filter our water.  We are using shower filters purchased through  mercola.com , which removes the risk of absorbing ground water contaminants as well as chlorine.  We also installed a reverse osmosis water system (gifted to us by a generous family member) under the kitchen sink so that we can have pure drinking water.  I use the water from the RO system  for drinking, washing vegetables, cooking and making almond milk.  I try to draw off a gallon at a time and add some unrefined sea salt to it in order to restore some trace minerals back into the water. Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to interact with people on a social level and still maintain the healthy changes we have incorporated in our lives.  Ethnic restaurants have been the best places to find healthy side dishes to order - baked white or sweet potato, ...

Don't I look excited?!  It actually tastes pretty good with the fresh garden kale and carrots. Some really great things have happened since my husband and I started drinking raw green juices.  We use a Hurom slow juicer which works very well to effectively extract the healing plant nutrients from raw green "super foods."  Also, we alternate between juiced greens and smoothies (with a Vitamix).  Whether we have a green juice or smoothie, we always add beneficial herbs to boost the immune system and fight off cancer.  Here is a list of what we put in this juice today: 2 cups chopped kale - organic 2 cups green cabbage 2 organic green apples  10-12 organic carrots (medium sized) 4-5 stalks organic celery 1/3 organic golden beet 6" piece of cucumber 1 organic lemon, peeled 2 T freshly ground organic flax seed ( why  and  how ?) 2 tsp ground coriander (the seed from cilantro) ( why? )  1 inch piece of ginger root ( why? ) 1 T organic ground turmer...

Before changing to a plant based diet, we used to eat a big pan of mac and cheese every week.  It was comfort food for me.  I felt determined to find a healthy alternative to this family favorite and came up with this recipe that doesn't call for nutritional yeast, soy or other seasoning additives which are high in glutamic acids - which result in a bad case of hiccups or heartburn and indigestion.  See what you think!  I wonder how long before I see a version of this recipe on some other plant based site!  :P Mac & Cheese plant-based style 24 oz GF brown rice macaroni 3 cups cauliflower, chopped 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1 onion, chopped 2 cups raw cashews, toasted (toasting is very important for the flavor) 2 T vinegar 1/2 tsp turmeric 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1-2 tsp salt - add  to desired taste  after blending "cheese"  Boil macaroni according to directions on package, drain and set aside.  While maca...

 Sprouts! Sprouts! Sprouts! Grow indoors all year I have a new garden.  It is indoors and requires no soil, no organic pest control and no direct sun light.  I'm running my very own sprouting garden and I highly recommend that you give it a try if you don't already sprout!  It is always sprouting season - sprout year 'round. Super economical If you would like to try it without investing in sprouting equipment, rest assured that anyone can sprout just about anything anywhere at any time.  I recommend starting with beans.  They are large and fun to watch as they sprout very quickly. Lentils are my favorite bean to sprout because they are the smallest type of bean. The  above  picture is of very poor quality, but you can see my lentil sprouts in the jar on the right in both pictures and spread out on the cutting board in the pile of sprouts on the right side.  These tasty little treats have a mild flavor with a tender crunch.  They are deli...
