Greetings!
September is that time of year when many of us shift gears, say
goodbye to summer and hello to school. This year is bittersweet for
me as my oldest is off to her first year of college. The house a bit
neater and quieter with only 2 kids at home. It's a reminder that
change is the only constant in our lives, nothing really stays the
same.
I'm here to inspire you and support you in making healthy changes
in your food and your life. This fall I'm available for one on one
consultations, supermarket tours and public speaking. If you'd like
to set up a group class in your home, email or call me to arrange
one.
Flexibility is the key to making and adjusting to changes in our
lives. I hope you are remaining flexible in the face of whatever
changes are showing up in your life this fall season.
Enjoy
September!
Susan :)

| September Recipe: Miso Soup |
|
|
I spent a week this summer at the Kushi
Institute Summer Conference where I was once again
reminded of the healing powers of food. It inspired me to
re-incorporate some Macrobiotic
Principles of eating and living back into my life.
I ate some form of Miso Soup every day of the conference
and have now added it to my daily routine. It makes for a
simple and delicious addition to breakfast or lunch. Miso soup
is endlessly versitile. Here is one way to make it:
2 cups filtered water
1 carrot thinly sliced
1 pinch
of dried wakame ( a sea veggie)
1 tablespoon miso
paste
1 cup cooked leftover grain ( rice, quinoa,
barley)
scallions, finely sliced ( optional)
Bring water to a boil, add carrots and wakame, simmer 3-5
minutes. Add a couple of spoonfuls of warm water to the miso
to thin it out. Lower the heat on the soup and add the thinned
miso paste along with the grain. Continue on a very low simmer
for 1 more minute. Garnish with scallions and serve. YUM!!

How to Eat Whole Foods Without Spending Your Whole
Paycheck! |
|
|
|
The price
of food is continuing to rise along with the price of gas.
Whole Foods is reporting a decline in profits. You know things
have gotten out of hand when the Wall Street Journal reports
that corn has gotten so expensive that feedlot cattle ranchers
are feeding their cows leftover
potato chips and M&Ms
The good
news is that there are many foods that are delicious and
really good for your health that are good for your bank
account and better for the planet than M&M hamburgers!
Here are some tips to help you save some money and support
your health:
Buy in
bulk This simple green practice is an easy place to start.
The cost per unit is often cheaper than buying normal or
single serving items. Buy a quart of yogurt instead of 8 oz.
containers. Steel cut oats from the bulk aisle will save you
loads over the pre-packaged variety.
Eat
more plant based meals. I'm not saying you have to become
a vegetarian or vegan if that's not your thing. But it's
really easy to make one night of the week veg. options only.
Check out Meatless
Monday for more ideas on how to devote one day a week to
plant based foods to save your wallet, waistline and the
planet.
Grow
your own! There is still time to plant a fall
garden. An added bonus: Get your kids involved with this
outdoor activity and your picky eater problems will diminish
significantly. |
