General tips

Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.


Try Eating Raw Food : Raw food can help you detoxify, cleanse and revitalize your mind, body and spirit. Raw and Living Foods contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.


Microwave Tip : Microwave ovens use around 50 percent less energy than conventional ovens; they're most efficient for small portions or defrosting. For large meals, stovetop cooking is usually more efficient

3ouncespackage lime jello
1cupwater, hot
1cupcoconut, shredded, sweetened
1/2poundbutter, softened
2/3cupbrown sugar, firmly packed
1/4cupsugar
2eacheggs
2tablespoonsmilk
2teaspoonsvanilla
1 3/4cupflour
1teaspoonbaking soda
1/2teaspoonsalt
2 1/2cupold fashioned oats
1cupwalnuts, chopped
1cupcurrants

Directions:

Tools required: two small bowls, large mixing bowl, slotted spoon, paper towels, large spoon, cookie sheet, spatula, wire cooling rack

With an adult's help, preheat oven to 375F.

Mix jello and hot water in a small bowl. Stir until jello is dissolved. Add the shredded coconut, stir and set the bowl aside.

Beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla and beat again. Set aside.

Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Add this to the big bowl and stir well. Stir in oats, nuts and currants and mix.

With a slotted spoon, separate the shredded coconut from the gelatin and set the coconut on a few paper towels to drain. Place another 2 paper towels on top of the coconut and press, squeezing out any liquid. The leftover jello is not needed.

Mix remaining ingredients.

Spoon out tablespoon sized lumps of dough and place them 1-2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 9-10 minutes until golden brown. Allow lumps (which should now be shaped like steaming patties) to cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Then, put on wire rack to cool.
