With the growing availability of affordable organic food — there is no excuse to not make the full switch to 100% organic. Throw out all those processed, additive laden, pesticide filled products and fill up your pantry with wholesome, life-giving food. You’ll be glad you did.
You CAN afford to eat organic, but you CAN’T afford not to.
The chocolate buttercream frosting recipe could be made with coconut oil (and coconut milk) if you wanted a vegan variety, but it gets too hard in the refrigerator and too soft at room temperature. A compromise would be to store the cake in the fridge, but let it sit on the counter an hour or so before serving. But, I prefer butter in this recipe.
But…we are human. And from time to time we crave foods which are not necessarily health-giving, like potato chips, for example. We know that eating chips on a daily basis does nothing to bring vitality to our flesh. Therefore, we only eat them on occasion. This usually happens while we are out shopping and want a snack. Organic potato chips are not always available, so sometimes in a pinch — we cheat. Just a little. But we still have our standards — even when cheating.
When you desire a simple, delightful dessert that is life-giving and healthy — this is it. Be careful if you are watching your calories: this recipe is on the higher side. And because it is so tasty — it is easy to keep gobbling it up.
Curry is full of antioxidants and has lots of other life giving properties. Turmeric, a primary ingredient in curry, is known for many medicinal properties:
Anti-inflammatory,
Increases brain function,
Antioxidant,
Heart health,
Cancer prevention (and treatment),
Mental well-being
It has taken me awhile to get on the Kale Train — but now I am a regular rider. This is due in part to our local Earthfare market offering their organic kale for $0.99 per bunch. This is an important tip if you are committed to eating organic: buy whatever vegetables are on sale. Remember: you CAN afford to eat organic, but you CAN’T afford not to.
There are rumors floating around the Internet that kale should not be eaten raw due to high levels of oxalic acid. After a little research, I found that kale is much lower oxalic acid than spinach — in fact it is considerably lower. 100 grams of kale contains 20 milligrams of oxalates, whereas the same amount of spinach contains 970 milligrams.

I love cooking, and I love being creative. But I realize I am not trying to create or share glamorous dishes. My time and budget is limited, and eating only organic food is expensive. But it is necessary. My meals have to be healthy, tasty, simple, and cost effective.
So I had this mango that just would not get ripe and decided to throw it into my cabbage salad.
Because I live on a tight budget, the inspiration for many of my recipes comes from the ingredients I have on hand. Sometimes I would never make a dish again. Other times, I crave a recent creation. This is one of those recipes. I wish I had some in my refrigerator right now. I’d eat them cold — straight out of the container.
Broccoli is loaded with vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin K, and helps the body absorb vitamin D. To stay healthy, we have to eat organic salads daily. To save time and money, the recipes have to be simple. To eat them with every meal, the food must be tasty. This broccoli salad is another favorite that meets all the requirements.
