Beth and Josh InterviewTo kick off our New Year's Family Health Makeover we did an hour long interview where we explained our 7 Simple Steps to a Natural Healthy Family in detail.
The interview was a lot of fun and filled with great information. If you would like to listen to it, you can download it here:

Tomorrow we have a Live Teleseminar with Relationship Coach, Rebecca Overson that you definitely won't want to miss.

Quote of the Week
"What garlic is to food, insanity is to art."Augustus Saint-Gaudens
Lessons Learned
One of the things that we think it's important to ask at this time of year is, "what lessons did I learn last year?".
So we thought we would take a minute to share some of the lessons that we learned. Lessons that had a big impact on us.
Lessons that Kendall Learned
We asked Kendall, our 4-year-old, what lessons she learned last year. Here were her responses.
"I learned that I like being a big sister. I love my new school! I learned that it's important to have fun."
Lessons that Beth Learned
"I learned that I should always trust the Universe and my body, because they always know way more than I do. We really weren't happy where we were last year (in Salt Lake). And suddenly the Universe presented us with an opportunity to sell our house and move. Now we are living somewhere that we love, and doing what we love to do.
"We were also bouncing around the idea of having a baby, but we just weren't sure if it was the right thing to do or not. Now we have a beautiful baby girl, and we're so glad that that particular decision was made for us."
Lessons that Josh Learned
"I learned to trust that things will always work out exactly how they are supposed to. I had some real concerns about the direction that things were headed last year, but I just trusted that things would work out and they did.
"I also learned that I would MUCH rather do what I love to do and live with some financial uncertainty, than to have a steady paycheck doing something that is uninspiring and lame..."
Those are some of the lessons that we learned over the last year.
We would love to hear from you about the lessons that you learned. If you want to share, just reply to this message, or better yet, go to our blog and leave a comment.
Herb of the Week:
Garlic
 |
As a healing herb Garlic is right at the top of our list.
As an ingredient for cooking, it's indispensable. Just remember that as a healing herb, raw garlic works much better than cooked garlic. (Don't let that stop you from using this Roasted Garlic recipe. It's wonderful.)
For more information on Garlic and other healing herbs, please visit the Garlic Page on our website.
This Week's Recipe:
Roasted Garlic
This is a very simple, but very versatile recipe.
It can be used as a spread for crusty bread or baguettes, or mixed with your favorite pasta sauce for extra garlic flavor.
One of our favorite uses is to mix it in with mashed potatoes for a wonderful roasted garlic flavor.
- Several whole bulbs of garlic
- Organic French Onion Soup
Chop the very tops off of each bulb of garlic. Peel off as much of the loose papery skin from the bulb as you can while still keeping the cloves bound together.
Take a square of aluminum foil and lay it flat.
Set a whole prepared garlic bulb in the center of the foil. Fold the foil up and gather it at the top, leaving enough of an opening to pour the soup into.
Pour the soup into the top, making sure that the entire bulb is covered with soup. Pinch the top closed at the top, keeping the soup and garlic inside. Repeat with the other bulbs of garlic.
Put the individual garlic/soup/foil packages on top of a cookie sheet. (Sometimes they overflow and make a mess in the oven.) Bake at 400 degrees for 45-60 minutes, until very tender.
When they have cooled a little, you can peel off a clove and squeeze it right out of it's skin. It will be soft enough to spread with a butter knife.

Next Week's Herb: ChamomileWe've been using so much Chamomile lately that we thought we would give you some more information on it.
