Food and 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 : If you were to turn back the clock 100 years, what would gardeners in your area be growing? Try regional heirloom varieties of garden standbys such as beans, squash, tomatoes and melons, which were selected for their flavors and reliability in the days when personal survival often depended upon a garden’s success. Appalachian “greasy” beans or creamy New England-bred butternut squash can help open the door to great flavors from the past.


Losing weight

The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables weight loss whilst encouraging you to eat many of the foods you love, like pork and egg and cheese.
With this diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, diet.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The logic of the atkins diet is that if we take in fewer carbohydrates, our bodies will utilise the fat we have stored and we will become thinner

Ingredients And Procedures

6 lb Large nectarines (unpeeled

And sliced) - 8 cups 3 c Sugar

2 tb Fresh lemon juice

2 c Raspberries (1 pint)

Combine the nectarines with the sugar and lemon juice and let stand, covered, overnight in the refrigerator. Place a colander in a large shallow preserving pan and pour in the nectarine mixture. Let the juices drip into the pan for at least 30 minutes. Remove the colander with the fruit to a bowl and bring the juices in the pan to a boil over high heat. Boil rapidly for 20 to 30 minutes, or until reduced by half. Add the nectarines and any additional juices to the syrup in the pan and continue to cook voer high heat for 10 minutes. Carefully stir in the raspberries and cook for 5 minutes more. The nectarines will look lightly glazed and the syrup will be only slightly thickened. Ladle the preserves into hot sterilized jars, wipe the rims clean with a damp towel, and seal with new lids and metal rings. Process in hot-water bath for 5 minutes. Remove, cool, check seals, label, and store. Makes 8 half-pint jars.
