In the Kitchen
Welcome to another issue of the Investment Cooking Newsletter. Have you been implementing investment cooking into your meal planning? Have you found a way that works for you? Are you cooking once a month or doubling your dinner meals feeding one of them to the freezer? I hope that you are finding information here that helps you provide nutritious meals for your family.
Last month I told you I was looking into CSA’s (Community Supported Agriculture). Well, while I’m waiting for my selected farm’s season to begin in October I have been looking into other ways to find organic produce. I found www.boxedgreens.com. This company is based in Tempe, AZ and delivers fresh organic produce to your door in the Phoenix area or nationwide via UPS. They have a great selection that you can choose from for a custom order or they have seasonal boxes in various sizes to meet your family’s needs. If you decide to try them out please tell I sent you.
This month I am continuing my series on using foods to invest in your health. We will be discussing the benefits of adding apple cider vinegar to your diet. Next month look for my article and recipes for whole grain breads.
Investing in Your Health: Apple Cider Vinegar
In our society we are frequently lacking many minerals and vitamins that our bodies need to be able to function properly. We can help our bodies by making small changes in our diet. Eating whole foods is an investment in our health. Everything we eat should be filled will vitamins, minerals and as many live enzymes as possible. If we are filling our bodies with processed foods, refined sugars and flours we are eating empty calories that can not help our bodies do much more than survive.
It is very important to make small changes that can stick instead of trying to radically alter everything we eat at one time. One such change we can make is adding Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar to our diets. Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (that still has the mother in it) is high in potassium, acetic acid and live enzymes. ACV aids digestion and supports a healthy immune system and has been credited with alleviating arthritis, poor circulation, and weight loss.
Adding ACV to your diet is very easy to do. When eating a salad instead of reaching for a bottle of dressing from the store why not make the recipe below? Do you have problems with heartburn? Instead of reaching for your bottle of antacids drink a cup of ACV Tonic. Whenever you are making something that calls for vinegar use ACV instead of distilled white vinegar. Use it in your favorite marinade recipeLook for ways to add this wonderful food to your diet.

1-2 teaspoons Bragg’s Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
1 teaspoon Raw Honey
