Have been wondering about heavy metals and bc. my problem is finding the fresh herbs, forget supermarkets. will have to start growing them, i guess. did u see on the dr oz thread the wooden plant grower. it,s pretty neat, but it,s for outside, one needs a backyard.

I am checking in to get some new ideas.  However, I do admit, that my wonderful dh does ALL the cooking here.  We eat a ton of steamed and raw veggies, salmon and soups.  I am so spoiled!

I'm spoiled too pip.  DH doesn't really like to cook, but, he goes to a lot of trouble to keep good organic fresh fruit and veggies of all kinds in the house for me. I had someone ask at Christmas time if he got me diamonds, I said no, but he always makes sure I have fresh asparagus, and berries in the house. They didn't get it.  To me, him caring enough to keep all that good food in the house is worth more than diamonds.  All he asks is that I don't expect he eats asparagus or brussel sprouts

My dh used to hate any veggies other than corn.  It has taken over 30 years but he now eats brussel sprouts and broccoli 5x a week!  We have become healthier eaters together which is great.  

It all started when he wanted to give up the corporate life and work from home.  When he said that he would do all the cooking...well, I was sold! Gone were the prepared foods that I would throw in the oven when I got home from work. Back then we thought a salad with dinner was healthy eating.  Gradually, our diet changed as dh took over the kitchen.   He is an amazing cook and really enjoys it. Luck me!!!

Merilee, your recipes sound delicious, what a neat way to ingest carrots, one needs the heavy duty food processor though which I haven't got yet....wonder if the Bullet would do it or if you need to cook the carrots.  Pip, you're our expert on the Bullet !

msippiqueen, thanks for the tip, you guys in the US have all these amazing brands which we can hardly find here in Cnda 

Luan, I made the most delicious lunch from one of the links you gave us.  Addictive bean curry.  The title is correct.  Thanks for passing on those links. yum

It was very easy to do too.  Ingrediants were easy because they are things I always keep in the cupboard anyway.  I can tell it is going to be a favorite:
