Healthy New Year


My wish for families this comming year is peace and health! I am encouraging everyone to visit Chef Alex @ www.healthychefalex.com. In the spirit of giving, all of my links offer freebees. This site has recipes and health tips from Alex Jamieson, A.K.A. Healthy Chef Alex. She is the wonderful chef that helped Morgan Spurlock detox after he binged on McDonalds in the film "Supersize Me."
I have tried her recipes, they're wonderful. Some are exotic, most are very easy to make and all are delicious. The best part is there's a large library of archived recipies. To paraphrase Chef Alex, one of the reasons people are becoming obese is the ritual of cooking our own food has been lost. Creating nutritious and good tasting meals can be done inexpensively and fairly quickly. Communities usually have a local farmers market where fresh, in season fruits, vegetables and herbs are available. Usually these foods are cheaper than in the grocery stores and much fresher because the farmers themselves are bringing the items directly from their farms.
In Sacramento there is a wonderful open air market open on Sundays located on "X" Street between 7th and 9th Streets (under the freeway). I am welcoming anyone to add to this with info about other markets in a 20 mile radius.
Every week I will be featuring a free link for building stronger families. I hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays!!
