California Balsamics Vinegars

If you have not yet discovered California Balsamic Vinegars, you are in for a treat. We use them for quick meals by heating up veggies/grains/beans and sprinkling our vinegar choice. The sweet ones we use for salad dressings. We take these vinegars with us when we travel or to restaurants! We have had a few Vinegar Tasting Parties and have made several group orders over the years. They are having a sale right now which makes sense to order up to 6 large bottles, $26 each, because with each large bottle you get to pick a free 3 oz bottle valued at $10! Our favorites are Blazin Habanero, Sweet Heat, Hickory Smoke, Garlic Gilroy, Teriyaki, Curry, Fig and Huckleberry just to name a few ! Use this link to order: www.californiabalsamic.com/pbdallas

What an Evening!

We had our best turn out ever last night for our BookClub and Potluck. We read Unprocessed by Chef AJ, and learned so much about her own journey and tried many of her delicious recipes for the Potluck. We were blessed to hear one of our own member’s incredible journey to health and what made her so successful at eliminating so many of the health issues she had been living with for over 25-30 years! And then she did a demo on how she prepares her daily smoothie protocol that was (and continues to be) a big part of her healing process. Thank you Meera for sharing what we know was a difficult and emotional time in your life! We are so happy that you are part of our group! And to all our participants last night: thank you for preparing delicious dishes and making the drive to our neighborhood again!

October Breast Cancer Awareness

Every October I like to remind everyone about how powerful eating plants can be. I switched to a Whole Food Plant Based Way of eating after my cancer diagnosis, and have gone over 13 years without any cancer recurrence. Think about it, if you only remove the cancer from your body, but do nothing different to change the environment of your cells, then it is highly likely that the cancer will return in some shape or form. Your body knows how to grow cancer.

How do you know if you have any remaining cancer cells floating around in your body after your surgeries and treatments? You don’t.

But if you eat the foods that fight cancer, GBOMBS (greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, seeds/nuts) , then your chances of recurrence go way down! In addition to 1. eating whole plants, 2. exercise regularly, 3. limit/omit all alcohol (yes you are worth it and drinking alcohol raises breast cancer risk), and 4. maintain a healthy weight (not hard when eating plants only).

These are REAL ways to reduce chances of recurrence and help you fight any cancer you have now. Always feel free to reach out to us.

Friday Tip- Jam Bar Cake

You need to follow @brocolli_mum on IG and make her Jam Bar cake now! For the 2 cups of fruit, I use anything I have, fresh, frozen or combination. I usually make more fruit compote than I need, and the extras become jam for the next week! Today I used frozen grapes, apricots and cranberries! I topped the cake with chopped walnuts, sliced almonds and coconut shreds. No guilt at all eating cake with beans, dates and oats!!
