Stanley Fishman @ Tender Grassfed Meat February 5, 2012 at 11:28 pm

Thanks for hosting! My post this week shows what a fat cap is. Today, because of the demonization of saturated fat, many people have never even seen a fat cap. Grassfed fat is great, nutrient-dense, with omega-3 and CLA.

Hi Sarah,

I’m so glad I’m back in my kitchen cooking again, being able to enjoy healthy food, and participating in this great link-up … thanks so much for hosting! This week I posted a great option for a weeknight meal, tons of flavor, great nutrition and quick to prepare: Turkey Picadillo Sandwich / Wrap. This is a savory & sweet entree so it should appeal to both little ones and grown ups.

Hi Sarah,

This week I am sharing all about a nutritional protocol that my daughter and I have been following called Nutritional Balancing, or hair tissue mineral analysis. It takes the guess work out of trying to figure out what nutrients you need and how to heal your body if you have any type of ailment. I hope your readers find it interesting, and it may be a useful tool for some.

Who here hasn’t been aching for a good cold cereal? That familiar crunch and cool, creamy liquid filled bowl of breakfasty goodness? I have a wonderful recipe that can be either a cookie or a dry, cold cereal you can serve with milk or any milk substitute you desire. They taste heavenly and are so satisfying, I think the Cereal is top notch in Almond Milk but would go great in any milk. You can find the recipe and instructions for my Something Cookies and Cereal here: http://thenutritiontradition.blogspot.com/2012/02/something-cookies-and-cereal.html – It also explains why and how they got their name.
