SMOOTHIES!!


By Ed and Linda
We start out with a fruit/veggie smoothie EVERY morning! It is the best way to start your day. I use my Vita-mix for all my mixing needs. It is one of the best investment I have ever made. Remember you are investing in your health today so hopefully your golden years will be golden and not spent in the hospital.
I always try to buy organic, but eating fruits and veggies that are not organic are still better than not eating them at all. I usually always put in an orange, watermelon, pineapple, and then I pick a berry...strawberries, blueberries, raspberries...etc.  Grapes are extremely nutritious and filled with anti-oxidents. I trade may veggies...spinach, kale, chard, wheatgrass, cabbage...a cup or 2. Put in a cup or so of ice and blend. In the beginning if it is not sweet enough for you, add a couple of dates or a banana.
You will not believe how your body will start to feel. Your aches and pains will start going away because you are feeding your body anti-oxidents, and nutrients that help with inflammation in your body. We don't wake up in the morning achey anymore and our joints don't hurt. Your skin will feel softer. Much more energy. These are some of the advantages we have seen.

Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil


By Ed and Linda
I have a lesson for my readers today...five words: Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.

We use coconut oil to cook EVERYTHING! We use it for cooking, frying, sauteing, for our skin, for our hair, taking off make-up, baking...etc.

Independent laboratory analysis show Tropical Traditions to be one of the highest quality coconut oils on the market, having the highest levels of antioxidants, twice as high as any sold on the market today. All coconut oils contain large amounts of lauric acid, usually around 50%. While Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil has test as high as 62%. Lauric acid is found in breast milk. Coconut oil is one of the best oils to use in cooking, because it does not break down easily, and it's organic too!

As a "functional food," coconut oil is now being recognized by the medical community as a powerful tool against immune diseases. For more info on coconut oil go to: http://www.naturodoc.com/library/nutrition/coconut_oil_healthy.htm

Organic Salsa


By Ed and Linda
In my Vita-mix
4 Roma Tomatoes
1/2 onion
4 cloves garlic (or to taste)
sm. bunch of cilantro
1 tsp. cumin
pepper/sea salt to taste
jalapeno/serrano chili or your favorite


This recipe is a base. You can add or subtract
the amounts to your own liking. You can also
broil your chili and peel skin for a more
flavorful salsa, and I usually put 2 chili peppers.
I love garlic so I will put up to 6 cloves. I
also love cilantro so I will put a good amount.
My salsa taste different everytime, but always delicious!
