I found some more Inspirational Quotes you may enjoy....








 




The weather constantly flips back and forth from fall weather to a taste of late summer..meaning there are days when the temps are in the low 80s and the next day is cold and foggy. I noticed there are some people with the sniffles recently and today I woke up with a slight feeling of the onset of a cold. As you know, I am not a fan of  traditional over-the-counter meds but a friend gave me this when I was fighting cancer and I still take it when I feel a slight scratchiness in my throat.

It works for me and doesn't have the lousey side effects of other name brands.


And of course, eat lots of in season fruits and veggies to keep your immune system up to par.

There is a new International food market close to my home that I shop at at least once a week. Even though they have foods from many different countries, they still have foods containing GMOs that are from USA. One must look at labels carefully. Since I am vegan, I am always looking for delicious non-animal protien and I like hummus. Most of them contain canola or soy which probably is GMO,even in this market.

But after alot of looking, I found one that is in a can that is not GMO! Yay! Their ingredients is simple: eggplant, sesame paste, citric acid and salt. I add it to my stir fried veggies and dip pita bread in it.

I have been so busy these past few weeks that I have neglected my blogs, but I am back! As you know we lost Prop 37...the right to know what is in our food BUT we may have lost this battle but we will win the war! And I say war because it is. Monsanto fought a dirty campaign and we will not take it it lying down. So I will post those companies who were on the Monsanto wagon and refuse to be transparent about whats in their food products. I will also include alternatice companies who do care about they put in their food and have integrity.

So here goes the first group that sell food products for Thanksgiving.






Arrowhead Mills is GMO free and organic. You will find them in healthfood grocery store.


Here is a link written by Marlene's Market and Deli that expresses my beliefs about serving anything GMO to my friends and family:

I will continue to post companies that probably use GMOs in their foods in the future. I have called many of these companies and they are willing to tell me over the phone their stance on GMOs but will not send me anything in writing. Hmmmm.
