Mother Earth Needs Your Help

I think I have always been an environmentalist at heart. I have always cared about animals, picking up litter and keeping our Earth clean. I cringe when I see unnecessary destruction of our land and water. I just don’t understand how people can be so thoughtless and cruel. Call me a bleeding heart, but that is truly who I am at my core. So, today just after the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, I am writing to plead to you to help take care of Mother Earth’s health. Without her being healthy, NO ONE on Earth can be truly healthy. As I have holed up trying to ride out this current “storm”, I have been looking for things to read and listen to. I ended up downloading an app on my phone for podcasts called Stitcher. As I looked through all of their offerings, I came across one done my Micheal Moore — the director…

Penne Pasta with Spinach and Chick Peas

During these last few weeks, health has been our major concern. Well, it’s been my major concern ever since I went plant-based — not just for the past few weeks. Food should always be your number one defense when it comes to your health. In today’s climate we need healthy food more than ever. You simply cannot be healthy if you don’t eat the right foods or get the nutrition you need. This is a very simple 5 ingredient meal I made in about 15 minutes.

Quinoa Breakfast Cookies

At this point, I’m sure many of you are as stressed out as I have been about this pandemic we are currently facing. Stress causes people to eat things they really shouldn’t and I am no exception. In an effort to cut down on my sugar intake, but still be able to have something sweet, I decided to try this recipe. It does have some sugar (organic) but there’s not too much. A lot of the sweetness comes from the oranges and the cranberries (which I substituted for the stone fruit). I was also intrigued by the fact that quinoa is a key ingredient. I am still amazed that I was in my 50s before I ever knew what quinoa was. Once I tried it, I loved pretty much everything I made with it. There are so many benefits from eating quinoa. It is one of the most complete plant-based proteins. It’s also gluten free…
