Here is a scrumptious and healthy alkaline rich beet and orange salad with refreshing lemon zest and your choice of protein and toppings.

Try silky light tofu, or organic cottage cheese, crumbled feta, or plain. To top it off try fresh thyme or rosemary. I happen to have a blood orange I threw into the mix, so get creative and treat yourself to this healthy root vegetable and citrus salad.

Peanut Butter Worth Praising: MaraNatha

With all the bad news lately about salmonella-tainted peanut butter in processed food products, isn’t it high time we had a peanut butter story we could feel good about?

MaraNatha Nut Butters offers a wide variety of natural and organic nut butters which are super-yummy. And they are not involved in the current PCA recall.

Every day, the news is just getting worse and worse. More and more products, including natural and organic ones, are being recalled in the US and Canada. Our faith in our entire food supply system is being tested.

But there is some good news. Not all food manufacturers use peanut products from the Peanut Corporation of America. And while we certainly should not become complacent, there is also no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater… or, in this case, with the peanut butter.

BIG SHAMPOO!

Weeks back we discussed the delightful scents and overall loveliness of Lush’s deos. And how could I possibly have forgotten to post on one of my favorite shampoos! I am singing in the shower these lyrics: I o-la-la-la-la-la love luscious Lush:

“lemon-lime margarita shampoo adds shine and body to fine hair… It’s this saucy, sassy, salty shampoo! BIG combines shine-enhancing citrus juices with the beautifying, hair-buffing impact of sea salt and genuine sea water for a body-building regimen your fine hair won’t sweat over…”

Now I have friends overseas calling me for this stuff. As if they don’t already deliver everywhere on earth! I must say this is the most amazing shampoo anyone has ever tipped me on, and now, my dears, I must pass this tip along to you as it is almost too good to be true.
