Tantalizing Teff
On our trip to the Malibu Farmer’s Market this past Sunday I discovered something new to me, and it seems, new to America! Teff! Teff is a gluten-free whole grain that is the seed of an Ethiopian grass. It has been a staple of the country of Ethiopia for thousands of years and is now quickly climbing up the American food chart to super-grain status! This grain is packed with power giving us high concentrations of a few vitamins,...
4 Reasons to Eat Seasonal, Fresh and Local and How
Eating fresh, seasonal and local seems to be the trend right now. Everyone is telling everyone to do it! It is funny that prior to the early 1900’s, it was common to base your meal plans around what foods were available within a short distance. I think it is fantastic that we are getting back to that. There are so many benefits from eating fresh fruit and veg when and where they are grown naturally. Nature provides for us better than...
What is in Your Water?
So strange to think that in this century, the 21st century, our water can be so contaminated. With everything we know. But it is. With things we don’t know about. Why is it important to drink water? 60% of our body is made up of water. Our body needs water to function, it is the miracle elixir that can sustain us. We can go for weeks without food, but only mere days without water. Through urination, sweating and breathing, each day we...
Best Bread Recipe Ever
Last year Santa bought me a bread machine. I had never considered making my own bread, I mean it is bread right? How could the stuff in the store be bad? So I thought I would stash it in a cabinet and take it out for special occasions. Until I took the time to read the ingredients for the store bought bread I was feeding my family with…. First, the list of ingredients is really long. Second, I could not even pronounce half of the...

So it was great news for us when I discovered just how beneficial watermelons are to our bodies. Nutritional facts of watermelons. Watermelons have been found to contain significant amounts of vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, fiber, protein, and a very large amount of...
Manuka Honey for Healing
My bestie shared a little healing secret with me: Manuka Honey! I had always known that honey had great healing properties to it, but I did not know that there were tons of different types of honey. What is Manuka Honey? Manuka honey is a monofloral (made by bees that interact with just one species of flower) honey produced in a northern region of New Zealand from the nectar of the Manuka tree (tea tree). It has demonstrated...
Probiotics Anyone?
What are probiotics? Probiotics are live microorganisms which maintain the balance of bad and good bacteria in your digestive tract. Everyone has them! In fact, our digestive tracts (which makes up more than 70 percent of our immune system) are flooded with trillions of bacteria – all alive. There are over 100 strains of probiotics, with more being discovered almost daily. The root of the word probiotic comes from the Greek word pro,...
Omg… Is that GMO?
In it’s truest form ‘GMO (genetically modified organism) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques’ (1). Genetic modification involves the transfer of genes from one species of plant or animal to another, using techniques that can cause mutations in the genome that may have unintended consequences for the crop’s safety. FYI – this does not happen in nature. Then we eat it. 90% of corn...
