Happy Earth Day 2019. Whether you are getting out and working with the plants, creating a world free to toxic waste or just getting out and taking a walk, I would love to share with you my love for our planet. Our earth has been destroyed by so many and we need to work on stopping not only pollution but especially on cleaning up our food source and getting the pesticides outlawed. The toxins that are being sprayed on our food are creating chronic inflammation in our bodies which is creating a world where so many are sick.

Why Fermented Foods? (amazing lacto fermented Kimchi recipe below)
Posted by Bonnie Rogers on 7/2/2015 to
Healthy Recipes
My “gut” tells me that most people have no idea that there is a difference between the pickles or sauerkraut that you can get in the supermarket vs the lacto fermented vegetables you can purchase (in a few places) or make in the privacy of your own kitchen.
So what really is the difference?
Lacto fermented vegetables are filled with probiotics that help our gut digest and assimilate our food
Lacto fermented foods are raw and without any chemicals added

As we travel our path we need to make decisions on what food to eat. Do we choose to eat a "healthy diet" or not and what really is a "healthy diet"? Everywhere you look someone else has a new plan that is the best food plan. So how do you decide what is best for you? Or, do you stick to the standard all American diet loaded with sugar, white flour and crappy fats?
Do you eliminate all grains, fats, sugar or do you moderate your diet. For many people removing grains is probably the best course of action but its also not a simple one

One of my go to recipes all year, but especially as it gets cooler here in the east. It's a great soup to help balance your hormones, give you easy to digest protein and tons of vegetables.

All pickles are not created equal
Posted by Bonnie Rogers on 9/5/2014 to
Healthy Recipes
Did you know that all pickles are not created alike? Most times when you purchase pickles, sauerkraut or other pickled vegetables you are getting pickles that are made with vinegar and are pasteurized. (even many farmers market pickles). They are pasteurized to kill any stray bacteria and make them shelf stable.
Lacto-fermented pickles (aka raw lactic acid fermentation or naturally fermented) are not pasteurized. They are made by allowing the bacteria, particularly lactobacillus which is on most living things to ferment.
Bonnie's Easy Homemade Granola

Have you ever gone to the store to get granola for your family and looked at the labels? You might as well be buying candy for them unless that is what you mean to do. Most of the granola out there is loaded with sugar. When I look at some of these labels I laugh and think, these people might as well be giving their children sugar cereal instead of what they think is a healthier choice.
After trying many recipes, I've found that my favorite is the following. It's very low in sugar and quite yummy.
Almond Snack Balls - Healthy Snack

"I love it when my clients say to me that they need to have a sweet snack every day" It's interesting to me that when they say sweet snack they are generally referring to cake, candy, soda or something that isn't going to nourish their body, rather it will be harmful to it, lowering their immune system and potentially adding unnecessary weight to their body frame.
What is unknown for many is that in only a few minutes you can make a snack that will not only give you the sweetness you crave but will also be nourishing to your body. One snack is the recipe below

To Eat or Not to Eat..... That is always the question.
I wanted to share with you what's been going on in my life for the past 6 months. As many of you know I had a huge scare last October. I had been off my blood pressure meds for a short time and it led to a cerebral hemorrhage. Now that's not supposed to happen to anyone, but in my head, how can a health coach and herbalist have this happen is what kept coming up.
I had to make a big decision.
