Let's Spread The Wellness in 2014!

We are excited to spread Wellness to all in the new year and beyond. Chef Kevin is constantly adding new ingredients to his repertoire, In addition to over twenty new recipes.

Introducing New Ingredients to your Healthy Pantry, for example;

• Farro - An ancient grain with a nutty flavor. Minimally processed and dense nutrition. With seven grams of protein it is even higher than quinoa. Also it's low in gluten and has a very short cook time of 6-8 minutes.

• Coconut Sugar - This sugar has a low glycemic index and is also a nutrient powerhouse. Filled with amino acids, vitamin C and B.

• Asian Black Rice - Another high protein, ( 6 grams) but low gluten grain. Excellent texture and an alluring color.

• Coconut Oil - An aromatic fat with a high smoke point that makes it great for sautéing just about anything. It leaves very little trace of coconut flavor in food. Although high in saturated fats it is excellent for heart health and treating high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Also it is excellent for strengthening the immune system!

Look for these and many more in our New Recipe Additions. Just to name a few;

• Toasted Quinoa Oatmeal with ginger and coconut
• Mediterranean Farro Salad
• Thai Red Curry Chicken
• Sesame Chicken with Asian Pesto
• Even new desserts like Chocolate Meringues with Wild Berry Compote.

We look forward to reaching out to you and your team in this new and exciting season.

Ok, it's the Holiday Season, have we had our fill of sugary sweets yet? Of course not. Let's talk about sugar and keep it easy to understand. Most people consume way more than the recommended daily allowance and probably don't realize it. I said probably. Our recommended daily allowance is 9 teaspoons of added sugar for a man and 7 for a woman. That's roughly one soda a day. I have always said, Healthy comes from the common sense we are born with. It's not the sweetener as much as it is the mass consumption of it. Read Labels, Focus on Fresh and Avoid Processed when ever possible. Your body will let you know just how much of a good thing this can be.

The best surprise while shopping at Giant Foods! Bell & Evans All Natural, Vegetarian Fed, No Antibiotics or Hormones Turkey. This is such an excellent sign! It means that they are testing the market to see what choices we will make. Any one knows money talks, so make a good choice this Holiday and maybe we can all impact a change.
I have sold thousands of pounds of this product and I stand by it.

Thanksgiving is next week. There are so many better options to our Thanksgiving Turkey than the ones in conventional grocery stores. Yes they may be a bit more expensive, but for even the most expensive one, The organic, gmo free, antibiotic free, hormone free bird you end up spending only $6.00 a person. That is 1 1/2 lbs of bird per person. Plenty for left overs. You can't compare that price to a hormone-antibiotic bird. They keep those cheap and the reasons are obvious. Healthy Eating is all about choice, the more we make them, the more choices there will be.

Here is the Health Tip of the Day from Chef Kevin. Avoid all processed sweeteners except for stevia. Although there are better choices. Stevia has nothing to offer except for the simulated and temporary sweetness on the palate. Alternatives like Local Raw Honey and Agave Syrup are packed with Anti Oxidants and are not refined cane syrup but naturally harvested. Build your pantry to include healthful ingredients and enjoy the rewards.
