There has been a lot in the news lately about the amazing healing proerties of turmeric, a free-radical fighting antioxidant rich curry spice that has been hailed as a defense against both cancer and Alzheimer's. Ginger and turmeric combine with citrus and maple syrup to make the perfect blend of healing nutrients.
Looking for some fun, new, holiday recipes! I've got you covered! Try out this simple Cranberry Apple Salad! Its best if it sits in the fridge for about an hour before you serve it, so you can prepare it before your company arrives!

I grew up eating very healthy with my family- typically a meat, veggies and potatoes on the dinner table each evening. Not many sweets except for home baked desserts.
But then, I grew up, started to work long hours, travel, be a student, get a new job, and healthy eating was never a priority and if it was, I was too busy, didn't have access to the healthy foods I should be eating or didn't have time (or was too lazy) to prepare healthy meals every day.
My health suffered, and my tummy suffered. I had terrible stomach pain, and had to take a long time to heal, recharge my batteries and my health.
Today- I am feeling great! And much of that improvement is from Juicing. Juicing is a fantastic way of getting tons of fruits and veggies into your diet. You can toss in such a variety of foods, drink it up and be good to go for the rest of the day. My husband and I included this habit in our day quite a few years ago now- and it has made such a difference to my tummy troubles.
