Zone Balanced Burritos: One Zone Diet Block equals 3 grams fat, 7 grams of protein and 9 grams of carbohydrates. Dr. Barry Sears developed a way of eating that balances out the amounts of carbohydrates, unsaturated fats and proteins to keep the blood glucose balanced and stable. This way of eating is excellent for people with diabetes, heart disease and many other health problems. You can read more about the Zone diet at:
I’m always looking for ways to make turkey taste better, hence this Taco Soup Recipe. This is a low-fat recipe if you use string cheese and quark instead of cheddar and sour cream and it’s delicious.
Tabbouleh is a great salad for people who need to eat more raw foods. I’ve added extra parsley because parsley is so loaded with trace minerals and it’s also a natural diuretic. I use parsley in lots of recipes (as you can see!) Wonderful herb. I actually wrote it up as a Product of the Month for the newsletter.
Sprouting Seeds: What seeds can you sprout? Just about anything including, lentils, garbanzos, wheat, oats, quinoa, mung beans, aduki beans, Anastazi beans, lima beans, cabbage, radish, alfalfa, corn, rye, onions and almonds. The sprout doesn’t have to have a large tail to consider it at that edible stage. For almonds, just soak them a couple of days.
Spicy Tomato Soup is a soup I came up with on day 23 of a 40-day juice fast. Technically speaking, not juice—but it was fantastic! But maybe we were just really really hungry!
I’m always looking for complete protein, low-fat, tasty salads that are not boring. This Rice-Bean-Corn Salad is a recipe we like. Our former neighbors liked it too, so it must be a keeper. We took a bowl over to our neighbor, Tim, and he ate both servings before his wife made it home for a taste. When Barb finally made it home, she was asked to trek on over to get the recipe. She made another whole batch the next day.
