Wowzers! I got busy sorry for the delayed update, however, I have lots to share!
Research Project Update
Other important discoveries: Carbohydrates and protein, equally vital on the nutrition list! I’m doing a faux cleanse right now and have cut out almost all refined carbs. (left sprouted products in) .
Great alternative carbs are :
· Starchy/rich veggies (ex:artichoke, sweet potato, yam, cauliflower- also has omegas, beans- lentil are my fav due to nutrition content AND it counts as both starch & protein),
So this experiment was fun, but a lot of work. I learned a lot though so totally worth it in the end. There is more than just Omega 3, 6, and 9 but the research I found was pretty limited and it seems (in my brief and amateur study) that the other omegas are needed in what appeared to be trace amounts available in a variety of foods (- consult with your doctor though if you have questions. This was just a personal project that I experimented with, not advice on how to alter your diet, aka informational only!)
Speaking of informational there is a lot of talk about seafood and what’s safe and not safe to be eating. There are several factors that determine what is considered “safe” to eat regularly so I found some resources for you. Wait, I found some resources for me and am happy to share!;o) They’re very interesting if anything and made me wonder, hmmm where did my dinner come from...?
Excellent Seafood guide resources:
Exciting news!
NEXT and probably the most exciting is that I have the amazing opportunity to participate in an incubator program for La Cocina. They basically help “hatch” my business from beginning to end and seasoned experts in the industry will guide me basically every step of the way. Right now I’m in the application process which is pretty intense and feels like a part time (some days full time) job.
I feel so humbled and moved by this non-profit organization’s dedication to helping people who produce quality homemade food products that I decided that once I go into production and start selling products I’m going to donate 20% of the profits. I looked at institutions that really need and deserve help and 1st I want to donate 15% to Title One (low income) Schools. This is where the majority of my teaching and really, life experience lies and boy could they use some “extra” income now! I’d also like to donate 5% of income to the La Cocina Program as I love and support their cause.

I may not be blogging as much. I have a business plan, application and a lot of research to work on but will do my best to share any new food projects I have, if possible. Thanks for reading and please send lots of love and best wishes my way, this opportunity was made for me, I know it!
