Okra I'm  loving Okra this week. I remember a neighbor, from an apartment I rented a long time ago in Brooklyn , who put okra in her rice whenever she cooked it, just regular white rice. It was the first time I ate okra and enjoyed it. She was an African woman who could probably cook anything and it would taste incredible. Anyway, with her i

Molasses: Good Iron and Calcium It was great to receive the information. I take a good multi-vitamin  with extra Iron, plus my doctor recommend I take an iron supplement as well. A side effect of the iron supplement is constipation. So thinks Joan’s doctor, I’m glad to know I can take two teaspoons of molasses instead. It’s pretty strong to just take on its own.  I tried it in coffee - not bad.  And I tried the recipe below using rice milk with a tablespoon of dark cocoa powder, a banana and 1 cup of frozen mixed berries in the blender. Very nice! A smooth way to get needed iron and calcium. Not too bad just mixed with warm water either - its was suprisingly rich, and I think a good rival to my morning coffee.

Newsletter Sent 12/9/2010 Holiday Bake Sale Made Fresh to Order - Local Delivery! www.AppleButterNews.com/BakedGoods In Flux – And A Bit Self Indulgent I would like to wish a happy marry Holiday to all my friends in Utica, Syracuse and NYC.  Many of you have not heard from me in a while, I regret that. I seem to have a problem deciding and sticking with an idea of where I want to go with this newsletter. I have many friends who are spiritual but non-political, and others who are political but non-spiritual. So, over the past year I have made this newsletter almost exclusively about growing, finding and preparing healthy foods – which I do and always will care a great deal about and will continue to write about and advocate for. However, in hindsight I believe that was a mistake, and in part a betrayal of who I am, and I would like to take this time to apologize to my God and to my subscribers for not being my most authentic self. That said, going forward the A

Article courtesy: Lifescript.com : Healthy Living for Women Newsletter sent: 9/15/2010 Called the “ Mother grain” by the Incas, quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wa) is a whole grain that originated in the Andes Mountains in South America. It was a staple of the Incan civilization, and now, centuries later, it is appearing in both health food stores and major grocery chains. This Andes Mountains marvel packs six grams of protein and three grams of fiber for only 150 calories in a typical half-cup cooked serving. The same amount of brown rice yields only two grams of protein and less than two grams of fiber. This chewy grain is a special favorite of vegetarians because unlike any other carbohydrate, it is a balanced amino-acid source of high quality protein. Those with sensitivities to wheat and gluten are also embracing it. Just like rice, quinoa is sold dried and raw and is typically cooked on the stove in boiling water (just make sure to rinse it first). You can also substit

But do you really know what whole grains are – or why they're so beneficial? A grain is considered whole when all three parts – bran, germ and endosperm – are present.
