Cooking tips

Good food alone cannot make you healthy and happy. You also need sunshine (for vitamin D and strong biorhythms), moderate exercise, relaxation, and love. A daily walk outdoors will give you the first three. Use a water-filter and nontoxic household products (available from us & elsewhere). Get mercury fillings out of your teeth. Avoid drugs and manmade chemicals whenever possible. If your health remains poor, find a doctor who will search for the root causes, not suppress the symptoms with drugs and surgery.


Buy Local Food : With local food you'll get exceptional taste and freshness, strengthen your local economy, support endangered family farms, safeguard your family's health, and protect the environment.


Buy Local Food : Cultivate an awareness of how far your food travels. When Rich Pirog, Food Systems Program Leader for the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, tracked the miles traveled for 16 types of produce, he found that locally sourced fruits and vegetables such as apples, lettuce and tomatoes traveled an average of 56 miles, compared to 1,494 miles — nearly 27 times farther — for the same fruits and vegetables delivered through conventional retail channels. Things get stickier with combination foods, strawberry yogurt for example. Pirog came up with 2,216 miles by adding up the distance traveled for the yogurt’s milk, sugar and strawberries. That figure could be slashed by 90 percent if you buy plain yogurt and stir in some locally grown honey and fruit.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 1/2 cups boiling water

1 package (8-serving size) or 2 packages (4-serving

size) orange flavor gelatin dessert 1 1/2 cups cold water

Gummy worms

Stir boiling water into gelatin in large bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water.

Pour into 9-inch pie plate that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Refrigerate about 1 1/2 hours or until thickened (when a spoon drawn through leaves a definite impression). Push gummy worms into gelatin. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm. Unmold by dipping pie plate in warm water about 15 seconds. Gently pull gelatin from around edge with moist fingers. Place moistened serving plate on top of pie plate. Invert pie plate and serving plate; holding plates together, shake slightly to loosen. Gently remove pie plate and center gelatin on serving plate. Garnish with additional gummy worms, if desired. Makes 8 servings.

This recipe is from the folks at Crayola Kids magazine and Jell-O brand gelatin.
