Presents our next project. A DVD entitled:
Recession-Proof Nutrition for Families
With the help of her local office, Marty designed a proto-type family . She took that allotment plus less than $10 per week and demonstrates shopping techinques and cooking videos for a week's worth of food. There are recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a video on how to make almost all of them. [She figured PBJ's only needed a downloadable recipe.]
There are lots of cooking tips, a shopping list and the equipment is little more than a knife, cutting board and pots. And, of course, lots of fun. Yes, even recessions, food shopping and making dinner can be a vaudeville routine.
Our launch date is July 8th. We will keep you posted!

Marty was written up in the Informed Traveler, the Luxury Hotel and Upscale Travel blog from Five Star Alliance, luxury hotel experts. Click here to read the article. Here's a quote about Marty, "a dynamic and enthusiastic presenter, brings her extensive knowledge of health and nutrition to the demonstrations that address the dietary challenges of today." This quote was specific to the cooking demonstration Marty presents every 3PM at The Lodge at Woodloch in Hawley, PA . The Lodge at Woodloch has been list as one of the 10 Best Spas in the World and one of the 10 most luxurious spas in the USA. It was rated #1 in cooking demonstrations which are presented by the staff chefs as well as Marty.
Her nutritional consultations, available here and at The Lodge, are tailored to the guest. These are the most popular:
I don't have time and I don't cook - Most of us want to eat healthier but feel at the mercy of take-out menus and eating on the run. After spending 18 years on the go in Manhattan, Marty learned to make healthful choices for a busy, hectic lifestyle. She will base an assessment on your personal preferences and needs, for long-term success.

This month's recipe came from the Garden and SH-H-H-H our nearby meadow. Here are the wild onions I dug from garden and where I walk Buster. That's why it is called, Stolen Spring Onion Soup.
I added some mustard greens from our unmowed back yard.
The reason I made this very simple soup was to get you out of the house and looking at what is around for free. The calcium in the mustard greens is right up there with kale, but it is free. The taste is a little bitter, but adding a touch to a salad or steamed greens brings out flavor without adding too much pucker power.
I have people ask me more about what should they grown instead of where should they grow. Read the rest in The Garden
Scientific American - How Meat Contributes to Global Warming.
Key Concepts
- Pound for pound, beef production generates greenhouse gases that contribute more than 13 times as much to global warming as do the gases emitted from producing chicken. For potatoes, the multiplier is 57.
- Beef consumption is rising rapidly, both as population increases and as people eat more meat.
- Producing the annual beef diet of the average American emits as much greenhouse gas as a car driven more than 1,800 miles.
Nothing here that isn't backed by solid research. Also, whatever weird findings we get on our own we put here.
This month: Why Carb Counting Doesn't Add Up. Also, study about bone health and my take on it. Coming June 10th.

Olive oil is getting pressed for results
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyne was a cardiac surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Esselstyn has been expalining to audiences for years that any oil in the diet leads to coronary issues. ANY ADDED OIL, PERIOD. I have an abstract to one of the articles he uses to support his work, Olive, soybean and palm oil intake have a similar acute detrimental effect over the endothelial function in healthy yeang subjects. I also explain what this means.
Are Nuts, Nuts?
In the NO OIL motif, I have some information sparked by a chart by Jeff Novick, MS, RD, LDN, and more alphabet soup. This concerns nuts. We have all been innundated by the nut and seed people, especially at the Dietetics Convention. Here's some information that you should know about nuts and heart health that will crack open your shell about Omega 3's. [Jeff has the most interesting information and I urge you to check him out.]
There's research on Type 2 Diabetes and Fat, NOT CARBS is the issue. Fat worked like gum in a lock. It wouldn't allow the insulin to open the door and let in the glucose. The fat was cut out of the diet and the glucose began to stablize. Watch the video or read the abstract or go to PCRM and get more info or watch webcasts.
Milk allergies and gluten allergies are extremely debilitating. Check out what I found while researching a diet to assist with these issues.
