I follow many blogs and one of my favorites is Food Matters. They have several interesting movies out too. If you ever want to know the truth about our foods, watch their movies. However, today they posted one of my favorite articles, "8 Additives From The US That Are Banned In Other Countries". I've stayed away from many of these since I joined the Feingold group in 2007 but I'm so glad they're bringing more awareness to it. It's a quick read with pictures, so easy to scan.

Crockpot - Grass Fed Beef Roast, Potatoes and Mushrooms
Hi Everyone!
I hope you all are enjoying your Summer! We are staying busy and need fast, healthy dinners.
Yesterday we had one of those very busy days. I decided to put a Roast in the crockpot for dinner, Yes Red Meat but Grass Fed Beef with lots of health benefits! (I've listed the benefits and an article at the end of this blog.) Anyway, we LOVED it; I hope you give it a try on one of your busy Summer days.
1 Grass Fed Beef Roast (2 pounds)
2 cups Organic Low Sodium Beef Broth
1 cup of Water
3 Cloves of Garlic minced
2 T. Coconut Liquid Aminos
Sprinkle of Old Bay Seasoning - gives it a little kick!
2 t. salt
Lots of fresh ground pepper
2 t. garlic powder
Cook in a large crockpot on HIGH for 4 hours
After the roast has cooked for 4 hours, add several peeled potatoes cut into big chunks. I sprinkled these with Salt and pepper and made sure they were down in the juice. Leave crockpot on HIGH
After the potatoes had cooked for an hour, I added a full bag of organic pre-cleaned mushrooms I purchased at Spouts. I left the crockpot on HIGH and let everything cook for another 1 1/2 hours. The mushrooms seemed to disappear into the juice, YUM!
We usually have leftovers but not this time, every bit of the roast, potatoes and mushrooms were gone!
I served fresh fruit along side the yummy dish. ENJOY!!
Grass Fed Beef Benefits:
1. Because grassfed meat is so lean, it is also lower in calories.
2. A 6-ounce steak from a grass-finished steer has almost 100 fewer calories than a 6-ounce steak from a grainfed steer.
3. Extra Omega-3s
The CLA Bonus: The meat and milk from grassfed ruminants are the richest known source of another type of good fat called "conjugated linoleic acid" or CLA. When ruminants are raised on fresh pasture alone, their milk and meat contain as much as five times more CLA than products from animals fed conventional diets.
CLA may be one of our most potent defenses against cancer.

The Best Green Breakfast Smoothie!!!
Well now that school's out, I can refocus my attention on foods and healthy eating again, Yippee for Summer!
So I was in Whole Foods about a year ago and I ordered their Green Smoothie thinking, "how can this taste good, but I've got to try it?" I have to say it was delicious!!! I now make my own version of it. My husband and I love it but I have to sneak the green leaves into my son's. ;)
Coconut water helps cut the acidity of the orange juice and it's low in calories, naturally fat- and cholesterol free, more potassium than four bananas, and super hydrating, so give it a try.
Mix all in blender:
1 c. Pure Natural Coconut Water
Splash of orange juice
1 banana
1 t. chia seeds
1 t. hemp protein
1/4 c. frozen blueberries
3 - 5 pieces of frozen pineapple
Handful of spinach leaves
Handful of Kale leaves
Blend well and enjoy! YUM!
