Greetings!
Happy spring and allergy season...although we never really had a winter, allergies are upon us nonetheless. Go here for some strategies on preventing and treating allergies.
Right now is a prime time to check out Sunol Wilderness and its beautiful waterfalls, lush hills and wildlife galor.
Below is a picture I took on my birthday this March 23rd, 70 degrees! Happy B-day to me from mother nature, thank you =)
Plenty of easy hikes for all levels - take the fam, a loved one, or just go get some alone time and plug into nature with the ancient practice of earthing.

Latest & Greatest on Cholesterol
Did you know that cholesterol may be helping you fight off an infectious disease?
So WHAT CAUSES HIGH CHOLESTEROL? Or another way to put it -WHAT DOES HIGH CHOLESTEROL POINT TO? Here are Chris Kresser's top 6 influences (from his 2012 Paleo Summit talk with Sean Croxton). 1) Leptin resistance (LDL can't get into the cell and therefore increases in blood) 2) Hypothyroidism (LDL receptor inhibition causes same problem as #1) 3) Infections (LDL protect against infection) 4) Inflammation (cholesterol is anti-inflammatory) 5) Micronutrient deficiency (iron, copper, zinc, iodine) 6) Genetic (familial hypercholesterolemia) Click Here for the rest of the story.

RECIPE OF THE MONTH
Heavenly Hash Browns
The trick I discovered when making hash browns is how the potato is prepared prior to grating. Before I knew this, my many attempts to make the perfect hash browns, would end in failure; the only reward would be a sickly pile of purplish gray potatoes that really didn't taste even vaguely close to what a hash brown should taste like. So the trick I learned is simply to bake the potato first and then grate!
Ingredients
- 6 potatoes
- butter
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- bake the potatoes at 350 degrees for 25 minutes (potato should be slightly tender but not cooked all the way through otherwise you'll end up with mashed potatoes!)
- allow the potatoes to cool to the touch a bit and then grate (take off the skins or leave 'em on - you choose)
- in a skillet on medium heat, warm up some butter - about 3-4 tablespoons (may add more for extra flavor and crispiness)
- spread the hash browns in the skillet and sprinkle salt and pepper
- when the hash browns turn golden brown in color, shake them around in the skillet or flip them but be careful that they don't get mushed together
