After many tries and errors came up with this green drink recipe that turns out great every time, the proof of it been good is that the family will drink it in a heartbeat. Hope you like it too, enjoy!

Today we got to participate with Salem Harvest and picked almost 15,000 apples. Just had a yummy apple crisp for dessert. Thank you Beilke Farms for donating to Marion Polk Food Share. This was our last "gleaning pick" for the season.

(I'm hoping it is okay to post a query on this website. If not, feel free to delete it.)

I want to teach some friends how to make naturally-leavened bread, but the time between steps is leaving me baffled as to how to fit it all in. I've given most of them the link to your video, which is what got me past my mental block, but some of them seem to need a hands-on approach. Does anyone have helpful hints on making it all work during one two or three hour class?

My name is Kevin Pomeroy and I am very passionate of health and nutrition. I have not yet the book, Original Fast Foods but I hope to be able to get it in the near future. I am a strict vegetarian, nearly vegan. A raw diet really interests me but I am not at that point yet. I am the primary adminsteator for Mormon Vegetarians, a Facebook group. The link to our group is http://www.facebook.com/groups/2247600845/, for anyone interested…

I heard today that only whey protien has the essential amino acids to build muscle that is torn down during weight lifting.  Is this true?  If not, what other source of protien is good to build muscle?  Thanks for the help.

I'm really interested in the Back to Eden Gardening.  If there is more information on this please post it.  Thanks so much!

While eating more vegetables and increasing our salad intake is critical, having a proper salad dressing is vital, too. It doesn't make sense to arrange a plate of God's greatest foods, then glop spoonfuls of MSG, altered oils, and preservatives on top! I'm sharing some of my favorite fresh dressing recipes with you! They can be found at:…

Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or the smell of fresh cut mint, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. Essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic…

Food and family gatherings go together like peas in a pod. Yesterday our extended family got together to celebrate the return of one of my nieces, who had spent 18 months in Greece. We had a wonderful time together visiting and enjoying various Mediterranean and Greek food dishes. What fun times! Colleen and I…

I love this cartoon that was sent to Colleen and I by a friend. If you have ever noticed how intelligent animals are, you may enjoy a good laugh reading this cartoon. And, I hope you will take the time to appreciate how animals live in families and communities as we do; they teach their young, they have great…

   Any fly fisherman knows that when driven by hunger, a trout will gulp flies made of synthetic thread and metal hooks – if they’re appealing enough. Hypothetically, if a trout were to ingest a whole tackle box of flies, its stomach would be filled, but it would probably be sick …and it would still be voraciously hungry.

   The lesson of this tale is that the fish’s appetite is REAL; it is only the lures that are bogus. A live insect would not only complete the trout’s requirement,…

Okay! For the past two weeks Colleen and I have been playing in the kitchen trying to create some new recipes that further enable a healthful diet. We have experienced quite a few hits and misses, more misses than usual. In fact, before this week's Chia Ranch Dressing came into being, we also learned…
