Real Simple has a lot of fun stuff on their site. Gardening, organizing your life, relieving stress, finding fun clothes and cute jewelry. They even feature lots of food, recipes, and have a health section. Wether or not their recipes are healthy is debatable I'm sure, but I enjoy skimming through their site. My friend Ashley forwards me tons of their veggie-focused recipes and we like to gab about it we think it's tasty and if we'll get together to cook it.

No, I'm not going to tell you about how the T.V. rays will burn holes in your retinas, corneas, or your iris'.  I cut open a cow eyeball open when I took Anatomy and Physiology in college and I haven't been interested in eye balls since. And yeah yeah, I care about healthy sight and all things healthy... but I'm still not going there. This isn't a post about your eye balls.  The reason you'll want to read about these 3 Ways T.V. sucked the Health out of Me is because it's likely that you've either done the same things or that you're currently doing them.  But you tell me which one it is, if any, in the comment section below. Deal? Deal. 

Vega training: part two of four from Brendan Brazier on Vimeo.

Brendan Brazier is a professional Triathalete and founder of Vega products. Did you already watch the first of Brendan's videos I showed you? If not, go ahead and check it out here. Be on the look out for a mighty long intro. If you're prone to motion sickness, you may want to fast forward. Do people still say 'fast forward' or should I only say 'skip' from now on?

The intro is somewhat long, but this video is well worth the wait. It's the first one in a four part series, all of which I'll bring here to show you on HeVe.

Last weekend I went to a workshop at Whole Foods Market. It was lead but Laura Button, owner of Journey to Bliss, a raw vegan prepared foods business. D and I ened up listening to her workshop for about 2 hours and then stayed and talked with her on our own for about half hour or so. She is an amazing person and I feel blessed to have absorbed some of her healthful energy. Laura talked about a variety of issues and theories in her workshop, and many things stuck out to me. One in particular is this. She said we are living in ancient bodies but with a modern mind.

I haven't been this excited about a post in a while. If you're turned off by the big photo of another diet book, don't be fooled and read my lips. Continue reading, you want to check this out.

Many people have this stereotype in their mind. They think manly men are rough, tough, guzzling beer, eating rare steaks for breakfast and fearless.

You know you've used it as an excuse. We all have at one time or another. You can't always afford to eat healthy.  Produce is expensive, the Dollar Menu is cheaper. Chips are cheaper, soda is cheaper, candy is cheaper. Yes, it's true. The government pays to keep unhealthy food cheap, they encourage us to be unhealthy. But if you take a moment to really think about what it takes to buy and prepare healthy, plant-based meals, you may be surprised by how affordable they truly are. 

Bryant Terry's recipe for Rosemary Tofu looks tasty and interesting. I'll admit, it took me about 11 months of being a vegetarian to start to enjoy tofu. But now I'm hooked. Plain, whipped, baked, roasted, fried... I like me some tofu. So, what's your favorite way to cook tofu?

Reading this article recently in the New York Times really makes me want to give a big 'Slow-Clap' for the Dairy Industry. If you aren't familiar with the Slow-Clap it's a loud, slow, mocking clap that shouts "BRA-vO".  So there are some new rules coming for Organic Dairy, according to this article. For example, they want the term 'organic' to mean that their cows have to spend a higher amount of time grazing in pastures. But isn't this what cows should be doing ALL of the time? After all, a pasture is where the grass is and organic grass is what cows should be eating. 

Dear Meghan,

 I guess I've never told you, but I think you and I would be true pals if we knew each other in person. Sure, I leave a comment here or there. Yeah, I'm a fan of Facebook. But you see, that's really not the full extent of things. I think I'm responsible for 1/2 of your hits on any given day. I love your blog! I love your energy and your spunk. Heck, I love your new kitchen. Anyone out there who is looking for a fun, interesting, and interactive blog to follow, I say you should check out Making Love in The Kitchen.
