Ministry update
Dear
Friends,
It is winter in Maine and life is
challenging but sweet!
We are happy to have escaped the recent 'nor' easter'
without undue hardship. As the first (and hopefully
last)
blizzard of the season descended upon us, thankfully
we did not lose our power and no damage was done
to our properties. If anything, the wind was a
blessing
in that snow did not accumulate on our roofs nor
drift
appreciably in our driveway. An added blessing was
the gift of plowing from a benevolent neighbor! Now,
several days later, temperatures are into the forties
and the snow is melting enough that we can see the
ground. Spring must be coming soon!
Inside,
we Living Way-ers are bustling with activity.
Our winter confinement finds us tackling long-awaited
projects, many of which are kitchen-related.
Dehydrators
are still humming and thanks to the warmth of our
wood
stove, my winter sport of sprouting has never been so
good! Daily we are enjoying red clover, daikon
radish,
broccoli, sunflower shoots, and more. The sprouts are
a happy addition to our meals, raising them up a
notch
in terms of nutrition. The process is fun and easy
for
this backyard-turned-indoor farmer. Our Fresh Life
Sprouter is running daily. It's like having a giant
terrarium with a fountain inside! What fun! We are
pulling out our winter storage vegetables and freezer
goodies. As we eat our Hallelujah meals, we search
out new recipes and review new DVDs for upcoming
health meetings. All in all, we enjoy LIVING!
Going
beyond the borders of our LIVING Kitchen, we
have scheduled an educational, inspirational meeting
for you this month. Our HANDS-ON HEALTH
meeting
this Thursday will explore 'FERMENTED FOODS.'
Simon Frost of Thirty Acre Farm in Whitefield will
demonstrate how to make cultured vegetables. Simon
is an experienced 'fermented foodist' and will share
his knowledge about these healthy foods. Join us for
this presentation that promises to pique your
culinary
skills!
Our annual LIVE FOOD DINNER is February 18,
so please mark this date on your calendar
and plan
to attend. This dinner is historically a welcomed,
mid-winter event that whets the appetite and sparks
healthy fellowship. Plan to be a part of the action.
We have a special program lined up which will top
off the evening. Details will be announced next
month.
In light of the season, this month's feature
article
is entitled, 'Winter Wellness Strategies.'
Though
the colder months can present challenges for
engaging the 'Hallelujah' lifestyle, there are ways
to turn the season into a successful, healthy
adventure.
This article presents information, ideas, and tips
that
will help you weather winter better. Some of what
you learn can be applied to other seasons as well,
so read up!
Topping
the news stories within the last month is
the recent passage of the 'Food Safety and
Modernization Act.' Though the battle was
fierce,
politicians once again over ruled consumer
opposition, proving their loyalty to corporate
interests
rather than public welfare. Thus while the nation was
wrapped up in seasonal feasting and festivities, the
bill was passed with little if any media attention.
If
the bill is signed into law, it will usher in a new
age
of agriculture and food control that promises to be
a nightmare. The dreaded Codex Alimentarius is here.
Investigate the politics of food for yourself to see
how these new measures will affect you and your
family. News links are provided further along in this
newsletter. Additional information is available at
Health Freedom
USA.
In
closing, we encourage you to make the winter
season a time of personal renewal: a time of
introspection, inspiration, contemplation, and
application. Determine to make 2011 the best
year ever for yourself by choosing to be healthy.
Be brave and break away from the Standard American
Diet to experience ultimate health. Prove to yourself
and those around you that 'you don't have to be
sick!'

Article: 'Winter
Wellness Strategies'
When sharing the health message and talking about
the merits of living foods, many people ask, 'What
do you do in the winter? How do you make the
Hallelujah Diet work? Such inquiries that were once
surprising but now common for this Health Minister,
leads me to share information that will help take the
'mystery' out of eating healthy in the winter,
proving
that the Hallelujah Diet knows no season!

to garden this year? If so, now is
the time to think of ordering seeds. Seed companies
are sending out their catalogs, so make sure that you
are on the receiving end. Here in central Maine, we
are blessed to be in close proximity to two
of the best
organic seed companies in the world:
1. Feedco Seed Company- a no-muss,
no-fuss
cooperative whose catalog is informative,
entertaining,
and punctuated with folksy artwork. Fedco carries OG,
non-GMOs, heirloom seeds, fertilizers, tools, etc.
Their
no frills approach makes their prices budget
friendly.

5) Buying tips
and order info
FreshLife Sprouter
An easy way to sprout is with the Freshlife sprouter!
This simple growing system can produce a variety of
sprouts in ample quantity, utilizing a
'double-barrel'
design. Fun to watch as a mini-countertop garden,
the Freshlife sprouter is a healthy addition to a
natural kitchen. Electricity is required. Available
through our website at
http://www.livway.org/kitchen.htm or through
Hallelujah Acres directly. Use PIN#407
Vitamin D3
Winter is here and with sunlight being less
available
as the natural source for Vitamin D, consider
supplementing. Low levels of Vitamin D can cause
numerous health conditions such as heart, brain,
blood pressure, joint, skin problems, weak bones,
fatigue, low blood sugar levels, mood swings
(including depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder)
and a weakened immune system. Because Vitamin
D helps regulate cell growth, it has proven affective
in preventing and reversing many types of cancer.
Vitamin D also aids in the body's ability to absorb
calcium, boost brain function, and more. Consider
supplementing your diet with Vitamin D. Available
from Hallelujah Acres. Use PIN#407 when
ordering.
Equipment purchases
If you want to purchase additional
equipment, including
other juicers, a dehydrator, VitaMix, etc.,
consider
placing your order through us. Your order can be
drop-shipped in a matter of days. Call us for more
information.

Recipe: Super Simple Salad
As our garden was
winding down and the
last of our arugula came inside, I celebrated
the harvest by creating a salad that has since
become a personal favorite. It makes a
perfect dinner salad for me, being a light way
to end another ultimately healthy day! See
how you like it.
Few handfuls arugula
or assorted baby greens
Generous handful sunflower sprouts
Slices of fresh leeks and/or red onion
Few small cauliflower florettes
Favorite salad dressing
2 T hemp seeds
2 T dulse
Wash, rinse, and towel
dry greens. Place in a
preferably shallow salad bowl. Add sprouts,
leeks, onion, hemp seed, cauliflower and dulse.
Drizzle with a healthy salad dressing or fresh
lemon juice. For variety, add slices of bell pepper,
grated carrot or chopped celery. Substitute
ingredients according to availability and personal
taste. Customize to suit your tastebuds!
Note: According to raw
foodist David Wolfe.
"...arugula is a cruciferous, green leafy
vegetable that has a spicey flavor...It is
highly alkaline and neutralizes acidic waste
products throughout the blood and lymphatic
system. It is high in sulfur and vitamin A.
Because of its high sulfur content, arugula
is an excellent skin cleanser and liver
purifier."
