I found this recipe in The Meatless Gourmet and have made it twice now with excellent results. I like serving it on crackers with cream cheese (makes the fat-free cheese tolerable) or cook it with acorn squash. 2 tablespoons = approx. 72 calories
Fresh Ingredients
2 cups boiling water
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp grated ginger
PantryFare
1 cup dried apricots, cut into quarters
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
Spices and Oils
1/8 tsp salt
1/16 tsp cayenne pepper
Add apricots to medium sauce pan and pour the boiling water over. Let steep for 30 minutes. Add the remainder of ingredients and simmer for 1-1/4 hours, stirring occassionally. Cool then refrigerate. Serve cold.
Be healthy!

This is my favorite non-alcoholic drink for parties now. It’s easy as long as you are organized enough to prepare it a day before. I served it at brunch and it was perfect for that.
Fresh Ingredients
1 thumb ginger, sliced
1 cup fresh lemon juice
9 cups water
sprigs of mint for garnish
Pantry Fare
1 cup sugar
Boil 2 cups of water. Add ginger and chill.
Boil 1 cup of water. Add sugar and disolve.
Add 6 cups of water to the sugar water. Add lemon juice and chill.
Just before serving, combine the ginger water, strained, with the sugar and lemon water.
Garnish with mint.
Enjoy and be healthy!

Oh, how I wish I had this available to me. Fresh, organic vegetables delivered to your door. Here is the link to purchase them in Colorado- DoorToDoorOrganics. Just look at the snow peas – can you hear them crunch? The sprouts are pea sprouts – I’ve never even seen those before in all my 40 years of grocery shopping. I think I’m jealous. Must move to Denver where this photo was taken!

I’m not sure what to think about these ideas but to lose so much weight in such a short time is nothing but amazing to me. One thing to consider before trying this is whether your body can handle the stress. Please check with your doctor before purchasing any acai berry juice or colon cleanser. Listen also to the clip about Ph balance in your body. These people recommend having a diet high in the leafy greens.
Be healthy!

I don’t know if it’s the weather or something else, but I haven’t felt like cooking for over a week. That’s how I used to feel quite often and as a result, the meals I threw together were too fatty and not very healthy. This time, I’m still not resorting to meat but I found myself using too much cheese and dairy products than I should.
I went to the grocery today and still couldn’t get inspired. I failed to do any meal planning before I went but I managed to get some green peppers to stuff and an acorn squash that I can make a meal out of. Then there are always green salads with ripe tomatoes and crisp cucumbers that I can throw together.
Guess it’s time to sit down and re-read Fuhrman’s book, Eat to Live.

I recently heard a story that you were defending yourself and your weight. But the story seemed to be slanted on the fact that you are fat and you like to be fat. By researching, I learned what you said was different. “When people talk about my weight, I’m like, ‘You seem to have a problem with it; I don’t. I’m fine!’ I’m never trying to lose weight – or gain it. I’m just being!”
I don’t think you reallly want any unhealthy fat hanging on your body, you just don’t want to obsess over it. Right? So the best solution for you is simply to eat tasty, filling healthy food. Stay away from the sweets and get over the bad habits you’ve probably developed. Being on the road is tough for eating the right food but it is do-able if you want to. Focus on oatmeal for breakfast, salads for lunch, and keep your dinners reasonable with portion control. Don’t go feeling deprived – that’s no solution. But try to be healthy because that’s so important for a good life.
I can’t help but think that your situation is very different from Lizzi Miller’s. Did you see her photo in Glamour? Visit the pic here. Lizzi’s lifestyle is healthy – she works out and hopefully eats well. You can see that she doesn’t really have a weight problem, just a bit of belly.
So please think about it. Your health is the most important thing you have. Take care of it – you are what you eat.

Found a great organic vegetable stand at the market and bought a few things to test out in new recipes.
Loved seeing the white eggplant, the minature bok choy, the fresh ginger, and the orange tomato.
