If you love salad and looking for some new ideas and dressings then this is the class for you. This course will include a 45 page book by Chef Alicia Ojeda. The book features 20 of the most delicious and simple-to-make raw salad dressing recipes you will ever taste, numerous salad ideas to turn your basic bed of greens into a gourmet meal, and all the best tips only a true classically trained chef can offer you.

She credits this to the salad dressing and the little nuances you can add to take your basic bed of greens to a whole new level of flavor sensations. Class will be taught by Tonya Dahl. The book and recipes are amazing and I personally met Alicia and tried her recipes while I was in Texas. I am so excited to be sharing these recipes and book with you.

Northern Water Cleaners
Demonstration
Thursday, July 14, 2011
The city of Calgary still has many old waterlines coming into your homes. Cast Iron, some lead, and some copper also galvanized steel. Many of these pipes are corroding and releasing all kinds of chemicals into the water. According to research approximately 150,000 homes are supplied with water having contact with lead water pipes. As you well know, imported children's toys from China were recalled because they were using chemicals, lead being one of them that kids could stick in their mouths. Ironically, everyday those same children must take baths and drink the water that flows into their homes through the waterlines that are composed from these toxic materials. Never mind the Chlorine that has devastating effects on all of our health. David Wolfe recently said in his workshop in Calgary: "A whole house filter is not just recommended but essential. Taking a shower with chlorinated water is like taking a shower in a gas chamber" Our newsletter has talked about the hidden dangers in your shower and we provided information about all the toxic by-products of Chlorine. Such as, Chlorine, Animal Waste, Sewage, Trihalomethanes, Pharmaceuticals, Herbicides, Pesticides to name a few of the waterborne, health hazards; some of which are Carcinogens. The workshop on the 14th will be held at Journey of Health. 518-22 Midlake Blvd. SE. 403-254-5991. |

Greetings!
Fresh air, sunshine, hiking, climbing, swimming and long car rides. Aren't we blessed to be in great health to be enjoying the summer weather? Cody, Abigail and I went out to Elbow Falls which was just a quick 30 minute drive SW of Calgary. Abigail had so much fun exploring and climbing. It is so good for our skin and lungs to get some fresh air and exercise. Maintaining good health is not just about the food we put in our mouth. Having a good happy environment, living stress free, natural exercise, eating high quality food and loving yourself and others are key components to maintaining longevity. I am back in the swing of things and had a great turn out for my first Lunch n' Learn course last week. This weeks menu: Italian. Come join me every Thursday for a delicious raw organic feast, recipes, demonstration and a full lunch will be served. I have lots of classes scheduled for the summer and will be working at the store every Wednesday from 10-4.

Where to Find the Freshest Produce
Local and Canadian Grown  Many people are always asking me where I buy my produce so I thought I would share my produce finds- and it's never in one place. Kingsland Market: Various Vendors:
Cucumber Man- Has great baby cucumbers, green beans, butter lettuce, basil and red peppers.
The King's Orchard has really tasty celery from California, green cabbage and cherries and the most delicious Hotchkiss romaine lettuce. It was superb!!! Prairie Farm is carrying BC romaine lettuce, tomatoes and herbs. Broxburn Vegetables carry amazing squashes grown in Lethbridge, green beans, tomatoes and cucumbers. Greens, Eggs and Ham has nice micro greens, chives and potatoes. Lund's Organics - Everything Gert grows is exceptional. No produce yet, but it's coming. He has the best carrots ever, kale, spinach, potatoes, beets, cilantro, the best romaine lettuce too, onions- I buy everything he grows- Exceptional! Cilantro and greens coming in this week!!! For those on a budget, Safeway carries hothouse red, yellow and orange Canadian grown peppers and Red Hat brand hot house tomatoes grown in Medicine Hat. I collect Airmiles points so I shop there for my organic bagged yellow and red onions, kale, parsley, large tubs of organic spinach and spring mix, California Avocados, pineapples, broccoli and cauliflower. Safeway is also carrying California Mangoes, which I prefer over the ones from South America. Throughout the summer they will carry most organic berries and will feature the BC coronation grapes late summer to fall. They have a great price on frozen raspberries (which I recommend for smoothies. They also carry a large organic frozen food section. Canadian Superstore carries organic lemons by the bag at a reasonable price. You can also buy organic berries, grapes and young thai coconuts. The T&T Market carries delicious basil, young thai coconuts and they are carrying more organics. You can find jicima, red bananas some delicious Asian greens. You have to really dig and search for the organics, but they are there. If you are in a hurry and price is not a concern, I recommend Planet Organic. It is my favorite place to shop. They also have good decent organic produce, very consistent. They carry the Hotchkiss produce- I love their mix greens, spinach and wheatgrass. Blush Lane is my all time favorite place, but I live so far away, but occasionally make it up there. They have an amazing farm and everything that comes from their orchards is superb. Be sure to visit their website for harvest dates. I spend most of my summer and early fall at various farmer markets. I love shopping at Blue Mountain BioDynamic Farm at the Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers Market, you can also get their produce at Sunnside Market. Everything they grow is exceptional. I absolutely love Kris' produce. He grows the most amazing greens, broccoli, cabbages- it's all good! I drive all the way across town to buy his produce and it is worth the trip! Sylvan Farms Cheese has free range eggs for $4, the most amazing raw organic Gouda-oh so good. You have to really search for raw and organic and I complain to them all the time, so maybe they are listening to me. * My super find of the week: Angela's Olives at the Kingsland Farmers Market. She has the tastiest little black olives with garlic and oregano, I forget the name but they have pits and my all time favorite the Cerignola green olive with pit. They go perfect with a large organic Alberta grown salad mix. |

The Big Fat Fiasco
'Fat Head' producer Tom Naughton on how the misguided fear of saturated fat created a nation of obese diabetics.  | | Big Fat Fiasco pt. 1 |
This is the best documentary I have seen that explains in layman terms why we are fat and obese and getting diabetes in record numbers. Be sure to watch all the clips. About 1 hour in length, but well worth it!
Be sure to also see Tom's movie Fat Head.
Have you seen the news stories about the obesity epidemic? Did you see Super Size Me? Then guess what? ... You've been fed a load of bologna.
Comedian (and former health writer) Tom Naughton replies to the blame-McDonald's crowd by losing weight on a fat-laden fast-food diet while demonstrating that nearly everything we've been told about obesity and healthy eating is wrong. Along with some delicious parody of Super Size Me, Naughton serves up plenty of no-bologna facts that will stun most viewers, such as: The obesity "epidemic" has been wildly exaggerated by the CDC. People the government classifies as "overweight" have longer lifespans than people classified as "normal weight." Having low cholesterol is unhealthy. Lowfat diets can lead to depression and type II diabetes. Saturated fat doesn't cause heart disease - but sugars, starches and processed vegetable oils do.
