“Virtually no one in the field of health and nutrition speaks about the concept of food having energy, but if you stop and think about it, it intuitively makes sense. Vegetables have a lighter energy than proteins. Animal meat from tortured animals has a different energy than meat from animals that lived a peaceful existence.” ~Joshua Rosenthal, founder/director of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition

“The spirit cannot endure the body when overfed, but, if underfed, the body cannot endure the spirit.” ~St Frances de Sales

Well they are over, and hopefully you are back to your regular routine. So what is the plan for 2012? I know I want to eat better, try to eat more in season. I learned a lot this year from just talking to some of the farmers. Asking the questions really helped getting the right product for myself and the soups we made this year. Ask your questions farmers luv to talk. I really do not have to talk much about healthy eating you guys get it, that’s why you come to Farmers Markets. I just got back from a trip back East and was shocked at how hard it was to find places with fresh, local or organic choices. We really do have it good here. Thanks again for your support. Have a great year.

Top Ten Reasons to See a Naturopath

1. It’s part of your healthy life-style.
2. You are taking a lot of supplements, but aren’t sure if they are right for you.
3. You want advice from a specialist that is well trained in natural therapies.
4. You want to make an informed decision about your health.
5. You want a natural health program designed for you.
6. You are confused by contradictory health claims.
7. You have vague complaints but aren’t sick enough to see a medical doctor or use drugs.
8. You are concerned about the long-term side effects of drugs.
9. You have an uncommon health problem which has many specialists baffled.
10. The drugs you are taking cause side effects which are worse than the original problem.

Well Folks Christmas is right around the corner. Hope you all are having fun. For some markets this is the last week this year. Our holidays are on Sunday so this is the last market for Broadway, West Seattle and Ballard. University Market will be open on December 24 and the 31. See you there. So most of our soups this week have that holiday flavor and may be something you want to add to your holiday menu. Crab Bisque will go well with anything. Orange and Cumin Sweet Potato would work with Ham or Turkey, it is also Vegan.  Wild Mushroom cries for beef or lamb and would also be a nice vegan/vegetarian starter. Our last soup we only make for Christmas, Roasted Chestnut with Fennel and Pear. I also think this will work well with most meats or again vegan/vegetarian.

A daydream is a meal at which images are eaten. Some of us are gourmets, some gourmands, and a good many take their images precooked out of a can and swallow them down whole, absent-mindedly and with little relish.” ~W. H. Auden

Food should be fun. ~Thomas Keller

Did you know that during Thanksgiving the average person consumes 5000 calories of food. I can’t wait to try that, but then again I think I have been successful in the years past. I am going to go with the vegetable soups this week, soups that are lighter and healthier. After all that eating these healthy choices will help us get right back on track. After all Christmas is right around the corner.  Don’t forget to stock up now. Imagine coming home after a hard day of shopping and being able to pull a great healthy choice(soup)from your freezer. Have a great holiday.
