How cool is Casa de Fruta?

A few weeks back we stopped by this farmer's market Mecca. Its really a treasure Trove for any health nut. So many fabulous things. I could have stayed their all day. Isn't this truck awesome.

Why so fruity all of a sudden???

I am on a nutrition rampage and going more granola by the second...

But seriously--I am seeing own well-being and energy increase, sleeping like the dead at night, and not struggling with anxiety constantly. All this from eating great food, and discovering a great new way to live life less stressfully. I have called a bunch of my friends who have expressed interest in what I am up to, so rather than continuing to send mass emails...just come here and this is where all the info starts...

I want to create a place for everyone to be able to share their own health ideas, tips, and wellness information. I am focusing on all things green and healthy. From food to skin care, from the environment to make-up. All ideas welcome! I am going to start with compiling a nice little link list.

My way certainly isn't the only way, so send me what has worked for you so we can share the info here. If you have ideas then please send me your favorite recipes, websites, etc and I will create an entry on my blog for you!

"Eat this--not that"

I find that just by subbing these ingredients, I can make a much more health conscious meal, tips I gleaned from the "Body Ecology Diet" book.

Starting with your basic shopping list:

Instead of:
Vegetable Oil
Peanut Oil
Canola Oil
Butter

Use:
Ghee
Unrefined Coconut Oil (looks hard but softens when cooked)
Unrefined Olive Oil
Grapeseed Oil
Flaxseed Oil (only in Salad dressings and smoothies)

Instead of:
Sugar
Brown Sugar
Honey
Nutrasweet
Splenda

Use:
Stevia (powder and drops)
Xylitol
Lakanto
Agave Nectar

Instead of:
Wheat Flour
White Flour
"Whole Grain" Flour
Rice
Wheat Pasta
Oats
Breakfast cereals

Use:
Buckwheat
Quinoa
Quinoa Flakes
Millet
Amaranth
Buckwheat pasta
Puffed Millet
Quinoa Flour
Millet Flour

(all these have no gluten and metabolize much better)

Instead of:
Soy Sauce

Use:
Nama Shoyu Unpasturized soy sauce

Instead of:
White Vinegar
Balsamic Vinegar
Red Wine Vinegar

Use:
Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
