Healthful Real Food Tastes Good - No Commercial Health Food Needed

Jolie Bookspan, M.Ed, PhD, FAWM

Ivy of New Zealand sends me frequent updates of her continuing improvements. She is a great-grandmother and still getting stronger, healthier, more mobile, and having more fun while she does all this. Ivy writes,

"Around 7.30 yesterday morning, my daughter's partner arrived - he was in the area so thought he would surprise me with a visit. I was about to make breakfast. He laughed and asked if I was about to cook some steak.

"I dished up buck wheat, molasses (he commented that it was horse food) banana, feijoas followed by ground flaxseed, sunflower and sesame seeds. I ground the seeds so he would not comment that I was feeding him bird seed. Smile, smile.

"Surprise, surprise, he could not get over as to how delicious it was. I pointed out that it was "whole food" and it would stick to his ribs, therefore no junk food required mid morning."

Hugs
Ivy
