Raw Food Chick's Holiday
Newsletter December 2008
|
|
Greetings!
The Holidays are rapidly approaching
with warp speed, can you believe it?
This has always been my favorite time of
year for so many reasons, the songs,
the lights, the hustle and bustle, the
way that everyone is just a little bit
nicer, and of course, the FOOD!
But I also love this time of year
because it reminds me to take pause and
be filled with gratitude for all the
gifts in each of our lives.
The gift of love. Where would we be
without our children, Mothers,
grandmothers, fathers, grandfathers.
Spouses, sisters, brothers. nieces,
nephews. Families, friends, teammates,
colleagues, and acquaintances....and our
furry and feathered friends.
The gift of life.
The gift of health.
The gift of freedom.
The gift of laughter.
The gift of bountiful food.
The gift of comfort.
The gift of making a difference.
The gift of smiling - try it - you
will get a smile back For FREE!!!
The gift of time - sometimes the
hardest thing to do but it is always
the most rewarding. Economic
challenges this year will not stop
us from giving the best gift of all,
spending time with our loved ones.
You can also help a friend or
neighbor in need, offer babysitting
or pet sitting. How about stopping
by and chatting for a few minutes
with someone who might not have
family in town or has lost a loved
one.
Each of you come with your
own humor, uniqueness, joy and
love. You are the perfect Priceless
gift, but don't be surprised how
wonderful you feel by sharing your
time with others.
Last but not least, on my list of
gifts is each of YOU!!! I am truly
blessed and grateful our lives have
touched. Have joyful holiday season
and savor every magical moment along
the way.
Be Well,
Nancy - The Raw Food Chick

The
Pomegranate
If any fruit
was made for the holiday season, it is the
pomegranate. That deep red color just makes
you think of warmth and joy and celebration.
Decorations don't have to be complicated.
Displaying pomegranates in a glass bowl
makes a striking seasonal statement. Rubbing
the fruit with a little oil will give them a
beautiful shine.
Pomegranates are easily dried.
Select the freshest available
fruit and space wide apart on a
wire rack so that they get
plenty of air circulation. Leave
for several weeks. Dried whole
pomegranates last for months,
making beautiful year-round
decorations.
How can you resist: red looks fabulous with
deep green foliage, pears, nuts and just
about everything else you might use for
holiday decorations. Go ahead: unleash your
inner creativity and have fun with some new
decorating ideas.
Not just another
pretty face
The
pomegranate is not only beautiful to
look at but it is delicious to eat
and loaded with health benefits.
Pomegranates are an excellent source of
Vitamin C.
In addition, the pomegranate is rich in
polyphenols, some of the most powerful
of the antioxidants. And there's more:
each seed provides a satisfying crunch
and a bit of fiber in every bite.
Besides its beauty, scientists say the
leathery-skinned fruit with the
sweet-tart juice may help with heart
disease, cancer and problems associated
with aging. Add them to your salads for
an extra zip or juice them for a
refreshing drink. You can get
approximately 3 cups of juice per 6
pomegranates.
When selecting pomegranates, look
for color, size and general
appearance. Pick up the fruit, the
heavier the better, this means they
are nice and juicy. Fresh
pomegranates are available in stores
from October through December. Pick
some up today!!!
