If you’re a writer who cooks or a cook who writes, the chances are pretty good that you’ve thought about writing a cookbook. I’ll let you in on a little secret…

According to Doris McFerran Townsend, author of over 30 cookbooks, "…cookbooks sell very well. Until recently they outsold all categories of books other than the Bible. But a couple of years ago, romance novels nudged cookbooks out of second place."

And a recent Associated Press Article pointed out that our weak economy is motivating more people to prepare meals at home instead of eating out. The recession is giving an extra sizzle (no pun intended) to cooking at home. And, people who grew accustomed to dining out several nights a week still want to eat in style. Combine that with the popularity of cooking programs like Top Chef and The Food Network and the explosion of celebrity chefs, and you have a recipe for a successful cookbook.

The Richardson Cancer Prevention Diet is an excellent resource to inform you of the natural foods and supplements that can assist your body in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and in reducing the stress, fear, and anxiety of cancer.

Often times today, the foods that we eat are filled with toxic elements that can create "negative" health symptoms and cancer. When you become aware of the benefits of natural foods, you can change your diet to experience wellness.

The Richardson Cancer Prevention Diet is a safe aid to any cancer treatment you are currently receiving. If you don’t have cancer, or if you have had cancer in the past, the Richardson Cancer Prevention Diet is a perfect resource to help maintain a natural, healthy lifestyle while supporting your body’s immune system.

The Richardson Cancer Prevention Diet uses specific vitamins and minerals from natural foods, plus digestive enzymes, to aide in the prevention of cancer and in cancer recovery – vitamins such as B15 and B17.

Dr. Richardson never stopped believing that it is not the cancer that kills, but the breakdown of the body’s own defense mechanism. If the body’s pancreatic enzymes and vitamin and mineral levels are adequate, according to Dr. Richardson, the immune system can actually help keep cancerous cells in check.

Anyone with or without cancer should learn about The Richardson Cancer Prevention Diet. This eating program offers sound nutritional advice for everyone of all ages. It is even safe for your pets.

Vitamin B17 is a natural cyanide-containing compound that gives up its cyanide content only in the presence of a particular enzyme group called beta glucosidase. Miraculously, this enzyme group is found almost exclusively in cancer tissue, which results in the cancer’s failure to survive the cyanide. There are no known harmful side effects of B17, and the cyanide in B17 does not affect non-cancerous… Read more…

I was showing him all the in’s and out’s already of what I can/will do with meals by feeding my 1 1/2 yr old son, 21 yr old brother and the 2 of us, healthy… Read more…

As caregivers of elderly we aim to have the healthiest parents that we can have. But in this fast food state of mind, which our society has put upon us, the quality of the foods we feed our elderly is suffering from the availability of the fast food restaurants and the amount of time that it takes to prepare a good healthy meal. It seems that more and more people are dependent on eating out, whether it be driving through a fast food restaurant, ordering pizza, Chinese delivery, or going out to a sit down restaurant. When it comes to feeding our elderly parents we can fall into this same downward spiral of not having the time to cook a healthy nutritious meal and just feeding them what is easy. As a caregiver you are pulled in so many directions that you don’t have the time every day to think of what you can cook for your elder.

The biggest motivator for me was one day I came home and saw that my staff fed Mom and Dad the entire family sized lasagna for one meal!!! It was meant to be at least 2 or 3 meals for each of them. Both of my parents would eat all of the food that you put on the plate, they grew up in the Great Depression and they didn’t waste food. The amount of sodium they got that one meal, 2035mg, was enough for them for a week!

I really felt bad that I was the one who was having the staff feed them the frozen food and just because I wanted it to be easy for me and not take too much of my time. I knew I had to come up with a way to feed them a nutritious healthy meal that fit within the dietary restraints and that was easy for our staff to prepare… Read more…

If you’d like to stop feeling overwhelmed, learn easy to follow step-by-step instructions and avoid making wine that tastes like vinegar, then this might be the most important letter you’ll ever read.

I’ve been helping people from around the world with their homemade wine making for the last year and a half, and would like to do the same for you!

Now, I know you’re probably sceptical. That’s normal and healthy. Let me give you three good reasons we can back up what we claim.

Reason #1: My wife Michelle and I have been making wine for the last 7+ years – we even made the wine for our own wedding!

Reason #2: I receive emails on a daily basis from my amateur wine making community of over 800 people who seek my help with their winemaking.

Reason #3: I’ve been told on a number of occasions that my interest and passion for winemaking can be easily seen on my winemaking blog.

- So that you avoid spoiling your batch of wine due to bacteria and other air born “pests” that can take control of your wine

- Be able to diagnose what your wine is up to so that you can bring it “back from the dead”

- So that even your wine connoisseur friends can’t tell the difference between professionally made wines and the one you made a year ago

- Learn what you can expect from filtering or not filtering your wine so you can decide what is right for you

- And what you can do to ensure that the wine remains at the optimum temperature so that the yeast “can do it’s thing”

People are constantly telling me how grateful to me they are for creating such a comprehensive yet easy to follow guide as it totally cleared up dozens of frustrating points of confusion for them while making great tasting wine fun, surprisingly easy, and affordable! I’ve made… Read more…

Kelp noodles are…noodles made from kelp. Okay, that was an easy one. But that’s really about all of the description that’s needed. They contain only three ingredients: water, kelp, and sodium alginate. Before you freak, sodium alginate is a salt derived from brown seaweed that, they claim, helps chelate heavy metals from the body.

They have a neutral taste and are pretty light with a slight crunch. Some people think they’re a bit rubbery, which I can see, but they might have an “off” package. Mine are typically slightly crunchy, kind of like properly cooked spaghetti squash, whether I eat them raw or cooked.

You can use them either straight from the package as long noodles or chop them up into more edible sizes. I almost always chop mine up into about 1″ long pieces just by slicing across the mass that comes out of the package. They also work both raw and cooked.

Hello! I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday (for those of you that celebrate Thanksgiving). My girlfriend and I spent another Thanksgiving away from home in Kentucky. Last year, I was living in San Diego and she came out for us and some friends to have a big meal and a lot of wine. This year, we’re helping on a farm down in Macon, GA. I smoked a turkey, made a great CranApple-Sage Stuffing, and played with the horses.

Here are some great posts and news articles from around the web to check out while you’re recovering from yesterday.

For instance, traces of GM pollen have been found in honey. …. Dishonest honey distributors buy the cheap stuff from China where it may be contaminated with antibiotics and heavy metals or it may not even be honey at all — it may be high fructose corn syrup or other artificial sweeteners.
