Recipes and Diets

The new year is also a great time to reevaluate our diets in general. The majority of our diet should be from plant products, that's the way God designed us in the first place. How about just grabbing some fresh fruits and veges, steaming those veges, and adding a loaf of bread (Publix has a great 5-grain bread, both in sour dough and Italian)? If you really want to add some meat, get some chicken breasts, steam them using chicken broth instead of water. Just pour some lemon juice on them and add some Mrs. Dash before you cook them. Make sure you steam them until there is no pink (it goes faster if you cut them into smaller pieces).

If you want some great recipes and a wealth of good dietary info, I have found a great book - Disease Proof Your Children by Dr. Joel Furhman. (also, for adults, Eat Right). You can get it at the library or www.drfurhman.com .

Let's have a healthier (and quicker and easier) meal plan together.
