  • Many people do not like vegetables because all they have ever had is boiled to mush versions. You might try other ways of preparing veggies. One thought is to go to a farmer's market and just pick them up and smell them. Does it smell good? Feel the texture in your hand, is it firm? Do you think it would be crunchy when…

  • If you have a good blender, you can make fruit smoothies. Just toss the whole fruit into the blender with a bit of water or ice. All the benefits of whole fruit, but you drink it :) I make mine with a handful of spinach for added nutrients without really changing the flavor of the fruit. Breakfast today was 1 whole mango,…

  • When my daughter was 6 years old I started teaching her to cook. At 7 years she could make omelets, brown meat and make most simple 5-7 ingredient recipes. If a 7 year old can do it, anyone can! Grab a beginners cookbook, watch some YouTube videos. You have to eat for your whole life, you might as well learn to make the…

  • I buy organic loose leaf green tea and brew my own. 2 TBSP in a gallon jar filled with filtered water and set in the sun for 3-4 hours (until it looks like tea). Pour it through a sieve to remove the tea leaves. I find that dried mint leaves mixed in with the green tea really helps with those unhappy tummy days. Or 3 bags…

  • Summer fruit smoothies are some of my favorites! I like green smoothies because of the high nutrition content, but you could leave that part out. I shop at farmer's markets for fresh, organic, in season fruits. Frozen could be used instead. Toss this stuff in a good blender! Mango Peach Smoothie 1 mango (pealed and seeded)…
