How many Cruciferous Vegetables can you name?

Yes, it has been a long….time….since I posted anything.  I have been in a crazy work vortex, but I am out again now.  Besides work, I also had my in-laws visiting from England.  My beautiful cat was hit by a car and we lost her :(   And we got 2 new pets to bring life and happiness back into our household! So, it’s been some good and some sad and some stressful.  I’m not feeling as healthy as normal (I honestly think it’s the stress and lack of exercise), but I am on my way to recovering.

I just saw this article about cruciferous vegetables and how they are superb vegetables to choose in your daily diet.  I had NO idea that there were so many cruciferous vegetables, so I thought I’d share the list and information with you.

I love a lot of the articles from Alicia Silverstone’s site, The Kind Life, and here is the article I’m referring to:  http://www.thekindlife.com/post/incredible-cruciferous-veggies
I am sure you can learn something from it.  Enjoy and stay healthy.

The Soy Story

The debate about soy is never-ending.  Soy has become so popular in recent years, that I’m sure there are people out there that have way too much of it.  There is soy milk, soy cheese, soy meat alteratives, and soy is in lots of packaged foods.

So, is soy good for you or not?   It really depends on the source.

I just read this article from Alicia Silverstone’s website, that offers a straight forward answer to the question about soy:

I think a great point to take away from this is “think natural”.  As I always say, if you stick with mostly natural foods, you usually can’t go wrong.

Alicia Silverstone Interview with a Vegan

I just watched this video on Alicia Silverstone’s website http://www.thekindlife.com/.

It is a little choppy (and I think the guy is definitely enamored with Alicia!!), but it’s a nice, down-to-earth interview with a “normal” person who decided on his own to be vegan.  He talks about the benefits he’s seen, and also the things he misses.

Check it out!
