Atchara – Organic Fermented Raw Green Papaya – review and giveaway!
I have had my eye on atchara for a while now, and since I have been wanting to consume more fermented foods, I thought I’d give it a try. I’m glad I did!
As sauerkraut is to Germans and kimchi to Koreans, atchara is a traditional Philippine fermented dish made from unripe green papaya, fresh raw ginger root, and other raw ingredients in a vinegar base.
Fermented foods are full of enzymes and are a wonderful addition to any cooked foods as enzymes are destroyed by the heat used to cook foods.
Papaya is a great source of nutrition, and the natural fermentation process multiplies the nutrition. Using raw coconut water vinegar instead of white vinegar further adds to the nutritional properties of atchara. Read the full post here →

Good and Easy Eats – review and giveaway!
Have you heard the news? Kim Wilson’s new book, Good and Easy Eats, is launching on Saturday, December 10th.
This is a great collection of simple recipes that are easy to put together, yet are packed with flavor and easy on the budget.
I feel so blessed to be able to add another great cookbook to my collection. I don’t have any excuses to not have healthy meals and snacks available to my family every day.
I love Kim’s simple approach. In looking through Good and Easy Eats, I feel so confident that I can handle it. I don’t feel overwhelmed. Do you know the feeling? Sometimes as I glance over recipes, I get tired just reading all the steps, so I file it away, hoping some special occasion will give me the oomph I need to create it.
Kim’s top two goals of flavor and nutritional value is plain to see as you browse Good and Easy Eats. A self-described simple (“bordering on lazy”) cook, you don’t have to worry about spending lots of time in the kitchen. Read the full post here →

Who owns the organic food companies? You may be surprised…
Organic is organic, or is it? It would seem that it is all a matter of perspective when one takes a stroll through the mountains of documents on the FDA and USDA websites. Read the full post here →
Top Five Ways to Avoid GMOs in Your Food
1.) Buy Locally Produced Food
For now, GMOs are only used by large multinational corporations who buy direct from large farms. Produce from local mom and pop farmers have yet to become genetically modified. Purchasing locally grown food supports your local farmers and your health. Not to worry about GMO tomatoes and potatoes as they have all been pulled from the market. Read the full post here →

Organic produce superior to conventional on every level, study finds
(NaturalNews) Mainstream nutritionists often claim that conventional produce is no different than organic produce. But a new study recently published in the online, peer-reviewed journal Public Library of Science (PLoS) One proves otherwise, revealing that organic fruits and vegetables pack a greater nutritional punch and produce better, healthier soil than their conventional counterparts.
John Reganold, professor of soil science at Washington State University Regents and author of the new study, and his colleagues conducted the most comprehensive analysis of its kind on commercial produce soil and the strawberries that grow in it. (Conventional strawberries, as many now know, are one of the most pesticide-laden fruits available for sale.)
Reganold and his team analyzed 31 different chemical and biological soil properties–including soil DNA–and performed tests on the quality, nutritional value and taste of 26 different strawberries from both conventional and organic fields. And what they found is truly astounding. Read the full post here →
