I got such a kick out of this produce stand in Santa Cruz that I had to share it! I 'so' love to play in the dirt and grow my own flowers, fresh herbs and tomatoes, etc.! I would LOVE to invite you to get down and dirty with the best quality people and food on the planet. We'll make a deliciously fabulous meal and then enjoy it together. We'll have a blast and your body will thank you for it for a long, long time.<br />

<span style="color: #666666;">I discovered these peachy beauties begging to be brought home from the</span><span style="text-align: center;"> East Nashville Tomato Fest on The Peach Truck. Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhh. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I could already taste the freshly made peach pie or the crumble topping that my mother used to let me mix up with my little hands when I was a small girl.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"> Just the thought gives me comfort and a longing for a bowl of warm peaches and blueberries with a soft crumbly nutty topping and melting vanilla ice cream to bring it over the top. I've upgraded this special recipe with </span><span style="text-align: center;">healthier coconut sugar, organic butter or coconut oil, non GMO organic old fashioned oats and some finely chopped almonds and pecans. I also use So Delicious Almond Vanilla Ice Cream these days.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Peaches are high in Vitamin A and C, minerals and fiber. Bring home enough organic peaches to eat fresh, </span><span style="text-align: center;">to freeze and to make fabulous salads and desserts. While you're at it, pick up some of the other fresh fruit </span><span style="text-align: center;">of summer. You can pick and freeze what you don't munch on! The berries are also at their peak. They are the</span><span style="text-align: center;"> superstars of antioxidants</span></div>

<div align="LEFT" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 0.18in;">
1/2 Cup almond meal (or finely chop your own)</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 0.18in;">
<span style="color: #666666;">½ Cup of chopped pecans.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 0.18in;">
<span style="color: #666666;">¼ cup of coconut sugar or 6 Medjool dates</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 0.18in;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: arial;">1/4c coconut oil or organic butter</span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 0.18in;">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl toss together peaches, blueberries, coconut palm sugar,<br />
cinnamon, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Set aside while making the crumble topping.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 0.18in;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In a medium bowl combine oats, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt.</span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 0.18in;">
<span style="color: #666666;">In a food processor pulse together almonds, pecans and dates (or coconut sugar) until a coarse crumble. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">If you would like more texture you can rough chop the dates and nuts by hand. Toss the nuts and dates </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">in with the oat mixture.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 0.18in;">
Coconut oil tends to turn to liquid in the summer warmth so you can easily pour coconut oil over the oat<br />
mixture, <span style="text-align: center;">stirring until well combine. If your coconut oil is solid, cut it into the oat mixture until you have a</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">crumbled consistency. I enjoy using my hands to mix it together...liike my Grandma Laura and my Mommy did! </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">There is just something so earthy and organic about loving hands mixing up dough, patties, cookies or crumbles.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b>
<b>Time to thicken things up!</b></div>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 0.18in;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Sprinkle corn starch or tapioca starch over your filling and gently stir into the berries and peaches. Your crumble will be too runny </span></span><span style="text-align: center;">from all the juices released while baking if you do not thicken it with cornstarch or other thickening of your choice.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">( I'd love for you to leave a comment about how you thicken your pies in the comment section below. Or just let me know if you think you're going to try your own crumble.) </span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 0.18in;">
Pour filling into a 10″ pie plate, tart dish, or 8×8 baking dish or glass casserole.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><span style="text-align: center;">Now you're ready to sprinkle your very tasty crumble mixture over top of the filling.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"> Bake for 30-40 minutes depending on the deepness of your dish.</span><br />
I highly recommend putting a baking sheet under the dish to catch any drips.<br />
Keep an eye on how brown your crumble is getting. You can always place some loose foil over the top<br />
if the filling isn't hot enough.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><span style="text-align: center;">Be patient with that first bite! Allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes . It will firm up as it cools a bit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Dish it up warm and serve with your favorite organic ice-cream, yogurt or cream. I personally love to use the </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">non-dairy versions like So Delicious Coconut or Almond Milk Ice Cream.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 0.18in;">
Let your crumble cool, cover and stash away for a special breakfast treat the next morning!<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">You can REV UP your nutrition for the day by including your favorite power juice or smoothie.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>

If you can't get rid of that tummy fat, I can't say enough how quickly Javita Weight loss coffee burns up the<br />
fat stored in those cells and uses it for energy! <span style="text-align: center;">At the same time it helps you burn your carbs from foods </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">into energy. </span><span style="color: #666666; text-align: center;">AND it helps me feel HAPPY as it supports serotonin</span><span style="text-align: center;"> formation in the brain. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Who do you know who could lose more tummy fat AND experience</span><span style="text-align: center;"> more 'HAPPY'? </span><br />

Monday's Love Tip:<br />
<br />
Be kind to your body. It gets you through a lot. Pay attention to what it is telling you. Is it thirsty?<br />
<br />
Is it asking you to cut back on something? Does it need some fresh, clean, nutrient dense food? <3<br />
<br />
Below are 12 reasons why I always include organic cucumbers on my grocery list. *If you celebrated too much this weekend, check out #6!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">2. For a pick me up in the afternoon... Put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours. Slice some and put in your water bottle.</span><br />

Move over Whopper...there's a whole lot of healthy burgers on the fast food circuit!</h2>
<div class="slide-caption-content" style="font-family: Ashbury, 'Times New Roman', Times, Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; line-height: 1.5;">
<div style="line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
I'm going to quote from the Lyfe Kitchen article because it's <b>way too good</b> to miss any of the juicy details!</div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
"While giants like McDonald's are adding relatively healthier options to their menus, such as apple slices and wraps, some restaurants are out to change the way we view fast food entirely.</div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<a href="http://www.lyfekitchen.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #018b73; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Lyfe Kitchen</a>, a soon-to-be chain of healthy restaurants, is one such example. The brand, which stands for "Love Your Food Everyday," doesn't use butter, white sugar, additives, or trans fats. The irony? Its founder, Mike Roberts, was the former president of McDonald's. But he's changed his tune, and opened the first Lyfe Kitchen in Palo Alto, California, last year with <a class="tplinkpos" href="http://www.wired.com/business/2012/07/ff_lyfekitchens/all/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #018b73; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">plans to open hundreds</a> more."</div>
</div>
<div>
http://www.takepart.com/photos/healthy-fast-food/lyfe-kitchen?cmpid=foodinc-fb<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">And here's the rest of the story by Frederick Kaufman that's way too good to miss! " Lyfe sees Whole Foods as a model for how responsible food consumption can shift the marketplace. “We’re really, really early,” Roberts says. “There are 80 million people who have become much more aware of the food they eat. And that’s going to continue as far out as we can see.” Exciting, Right?!!!!</span><br />

But this artfully arranged plate—the chicken breaded and “unfried,” the veggies tossed with parsley and chives in a Dijon vinaigrette, all sprinkled with dried cranberries—was something else. It was the future.<br />

None of this would seem surprising if we were talking about one or 10 or even 20 outposts nationwide.

Yes, for the moment the only Lyfe Kitchen is here on Hamilton Avenue in Palo Alto. It opened less than a year ago as a sort of prototype. But imagine tens of millions of local, sustainable gourmet meals, served with the efficiency and economy that one expects from a national fast-food chain. Such a feat of feeding has never before been attempted, and if Lyfe Kitchen succeeds, the results will reverberate far beyond our stomachs.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
There is one overriding reason to believe that this venture will work. The cofounder and chief executive of Lyfe is Mike Roberts, former president and chief operating officer of McDonald’s. He and some of his erstwhile McDonald’s colleagues have bet a few million bucks that an eco-embracing, mega-natural startup will blaze the trail to their rightful share of the billions and billions served by Burger King, KFC, Subway, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Domino’s, and Wendy’s.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
Lyfe’s aim is not just to build a radically sustainable, healthy brand of fast food. The former Golden Archers hope to transform the way the world produces organic ingredients, doing for responsibly grown meat and veggies what McDonald’s did for factory-farmed beef. These days, the utopian vision of responsible agriculture is premised on a return to small and slow. If Roberts is right, though, we’ll have to swallow a paradox as preposterous as a vegan Whopper: The nirvana of eco-gastronomy may at long last be attained, but only thanks to the efficiencies of supply-chain management.</div>

When he ran McDonald’s, the company spent years preparing for the release of what seemed like an extraordinarily simple dish: sliced apples served with a caramel dip. Before that first<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioQgA_Ej3pE" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #00aeef; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Apple Dipper</a> could pass the lips of the first Apple Dipper consumer, Roberts supervised months of quality assurance and menu development, months of meetings with chefs and operations people, months of investigation into all possible Apple Dipper sources. Everyone had to agree on specifications (Fuji? Red Delicious? Granny Smith? Honeycrisp? Or one of the other 7,500-plus varieties of apples grown worldwide?). Then everyone had to understand the vast quantities that would be required. Then everyone had to agree on price. Not long after Apple Dippers appeared on the menu, McDonald’s became the nation’s largest seller of apples.</div>

“Roberts is intense,” says Mike Donahue, the former McDonald’s chief communications officer who now fills the same role at Lyfe Kitchen.<br />
<br />
“He’s a maniac.”</div>

As in?</div>

“He was going …” Donahue begins. His voice trails off.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
Where was Roberts going?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
“He was going—” Donahue says in a low voice. “He was going to be a priest.” Instead, the young Roberts launched himself into a 29-year career at McDonald’s, culminating in three years as president of American operations and then two more as president of the whole corporation. During his years as a top executive, Roberts often tried to push the chain toward healthier fare, such as mango strips, slinky-shaped carrots, and yogurt. At one point he even explored the possibility of a vegan McNugget. (“People would look at him like he was a Cyclops,” Donahue says.) In 2006 he resigned; soon after his noncompete agreement expired, he pulled together two of Oprah’s celebrity chefs, Art Smith and Tal Ronnen, and had them create a sample menu for what was to become Lyfe Kitchen.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
A few weeks after my first brush with Lyfe’s food, I meet Roberts at the company’s corporate offices in Chicago, on the 16th floor of a high-rise that’s right on the Magnificent Mile. Roberts, who’s wearing a dark suit neatly tailored to his wiry frame, ushers me back to a conference room that offers an astonishing view of Lake Michigan. He approaches the window, glances outside, and draws the blinds. “We’re in the middle of the first stage of the food revolution,” he says. “I’m dreaming of a place where science, medicine, producers, farmers, and restaurateurs meet to say we are on a journey together.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
On the journey that Roberts wants to take, organic food producers and Lyfe Kitchen will travel toward a realm of financial and foodie triumph. Success will be based on the strict market discipline that made fast food possible in the first place, a drill that can now extend beyond commodity beef, commodity wheat, commodity soybean oil, commodity sugar, and commodity potatoes. Market research Roberts did at McDonald’s convinced him that mothers, the dominant decision makers about mealtimes, are more focused than ever on healthy food. So this time around, brussels sprouts and quinoa will enter the picture. This time around, the end result—the food—will look and smell and taste more like an entrée from some bistro in Brooklyn than a 30-second stop along Fast-Food Alley. But the process will be roughly the same, in that the problems of enormous scale can be solved through similar uses of technology, efficiency, and experience. “I would say that the pattern of this mosaic is very familiar,” Roberts says. “The strategy of the rollout, the people and their skill sets, the systems of training and hiring and finance and accounting and supply chain, the development of the property and real estate system—they are all very similar.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
In other words, Roberts will take all the tricks he learned from old-style fast food and apply them to the next phase of American eating. Which brings us back to that free-range chicken. The new poultry supply chain is not just about procuring as much chicken meat as quickly and cheaply as possible. It’s about delivering wholesome chicken from birds that are fed hormone-free food and raised on farms that don’t produce the environmental degradation of a Tyson or Perdue. For example, as a general rule the poultry industry cools its slaughtered chickens in chlorine water baths—which not only affects the flavor but delivers more absorbed water to the consumer. Lyfe’s poultry supplier, Mary’s Chickens, has figured out a superior way to cool its birds—surround the whole production line with chilled air as they pass through. “It’s better for food safety,” says Jim Campbell of Synergy Restaurant Consultants, the company Roberts has hired to source most of Lyfe’s ingredients. “You’re not mixing all these chickens in a bath of water, where contamination can occur. And you’re saving 30,000 gallons of water a day.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
In his attempts to source the cheese for Lyfe’s cheeseburgers, Campbell is considering a Modesto dairy farm called Fiscalini. “These guys are cool,” he says. “They seem to be self-sufficient and entirely sustainable.” Fiscalini has built methane digesters to process its daily harvest of cow manure and whey byproducts into biogas, which in turn powers a Spanish-built, 1,057-horsepower, V-12 engine, which in turn is attached to a 710-kW electrical generator. The result is that Fiscalini’s cows produce all of the operation’s electricity—and there’s enough left over to power more than 100 homes in the nearby community. “They put power back into the grid,” Campbell says.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
Yesterday’s supply-chain infrastructure, the one that Roberts and his colleagues helped to perfect, was based on boxed patties and buns that had been treated with preservatives and designer enzymes. But new flash-freezing and high-pressure-pasteurization methods have enabled retailers like Lyfe to deliver dishes free of magnesium lactate, triammonium citrate, and other preservatives. Even the packaging has undergone a revolution, as dead trees have been replaced by bio-compostable sugarcane and corn stalks. In a post-petroleum world, clear “plastic” bowls, cups, and cutlery will be extruded from resins like polylactic acid, a polymer that comes from fermented dextrose—which comes from corn. All these advances are far from “natural,” but the net result (Roberts and his team hope) will be to let the organic ingredients last long enough to arrive at the table—or be carried home—in a fresh enough state that they can compete with less healthy and less responsible alternatives.</div>

He sees brussels sprouts as a viable alternative to french fries, and he has built an ingenious process to realize that vision. “I believe it to my core,” Roberts says. “People say, ‘I have not had a brussels sprout in 10 years, but I will have these four times a week.’” Lyfe Kitchen’s one restaurant is on track to serve more than 10,000 pounds of the little cabbages in its first year—by means of the brutal efficiencies McDonald’s once put into the lowly potato.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
The story of Lyfe’s local brussels sprouts begins at one of the two farms that Synergy’s Campbell has enlisted in San Mateo and Monterey counties. After spending the first 50 to 60 days of their lives in nurseries, the sprouts head to the fields. The tightly wrapped leaf balls grow from axils that form a helical pattern around the stalks and can be harvested for the first time after roughly 110 days. Later the plants can be harvested again, up to five times over a period of seven weeks, delivering as many as 100 sprouts from every stalk.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
After they’re cut from the stalks, the sprouts are washed, cooled, sanitized, packed, and stored in a cold room. At this point, the clock begins to tick: Their shelf life is just 20 days. And so the brussels sprouts are carried by refrigerated trucks to Lyfe’s Bay Area distributors, where they are usually turned around within 24 hours. Stored at 34 degrees Fahrenheit, they await their second truck ride, which will deliver them to Lyfe. There they are immediately stowed in the walk-in cooler at the back of the restaurant.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
When the brussels sprouts hit the restaurant, their fate is overseen by a man named Larry Taylor, a 34-year McDonald’s veteran. Taylor is a space-time guy, an efficiency expert who once ran 150 McDonald’s restaurants in the Midwest, then headed up an operations group for a region that included 650 franchises before spending nearly two years in worldwide operations. Looking at the initial plans for the Palo Alto pilot restaurant, Taylor realized that whenever Lyfe’s line cooks required more sprouts, they would have to careen to the walk-in at the back of the kitchen—a waste of 30 seconds. So he had reach-in coolers installed next to the cook line, only steps away from the sprout station. The extra fridge in just the right spot would save 10 seconds, maybe 15. “It’s a long math equation,” he says. “For every 15 seconds of time we save, we build 1 percent of sales capacity. So we like to lock down our key performers at their stations during the peak periods. The less frantic your work is, the better rhythm you have.”</div>

Once that order is sent electronically to the kitchen, a cashier hands the customer a coaster. RFID strips beneath every table pick up the signal from the coaster and send it back to the kitchen. That’s how the runner—someone other than the person who took your order—knows where you are sitting, what you have ordered, and your name.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
Now that the order has gone into the kitchen, the software-based cooking system kicks in. It’s smart enough to separate the elements of your order and send each of them to the monitor that hangs above the relevant food-prep station. The flatbread maker sees flatbread orders; the pantry chef, who makes all the salads and desserts, sees the salad order; the rôtisseur at the broiler station—you get the picture. So everything everyone needs to cook shows up in a queue, and the chefs each hit a plastic button beneath the screen to signal that they have begun. When they’re done, they press a button that “bumps” the food order to the “quarterback,” who gathers the finished product and puts it on a plate with all the other stuff you want to eat.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
Take that free-range chicken dish. Just as in a high-end kitchen in Chicago or San Francisco, the rôisseur here cooks the chicken breast at a different spot from the one the legumier uses to sauté the brussels sprouts, squash, and cranberries. Of course, the two elements—the chicken and the vegetables—have different cooking times. Lyfe’s software is ready for such complication, though, and sequences the timing. In the case of salmon and potatoes, say, the fish takes five minutes while the tubers take two. So the r\0xF4tisseur receives the salmon order three minutes before the potatoes order appears on the legumier’s screen. Same for the chicken and brussels sprouts. It’s all finished at the same time and plated together by the quarterback. Then the runner picks it up, heads to your table, and says, “Hi, Fred.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
The same system that choreographs this rapid dance also lets managers keep score, updating sales and tracking orders in real time. Taylor stresses how the gamelike properties of this arrangement can help motivate the crew, with the cooks and runners all able to see how they are performing compared with everyone else. “When you give them real-time data,” Taylor says, “it can radically change their behavior.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
But the heart of any restaurant is the kitchen, and at the heart of Lyfe’s kitchen are four energy-saving cooking technologies. The TurboChef impingement oven microwaves while also blasting hot air over the food at 60 miles per hour. “Combi” ovens combine steam and convection cooking so the food crisps and moistens simultaneously. And instead of a stainless steel or cast iron griddle, Lyfe uses one made of 1-inch-thick chrome, which reduces the amount of heat lost. Even the cheese melters save energy: When microswitches sense the weight of a plate, they immediately kick the burner into high gear. As soon as the plate leaves the melter, the machine turns itself back to low.</div>

Lyfe’s innovations extend even to the dishwashing station, which features a system that captures steam, condenses it, and recycles the heat for the next wash. And while a typical dishwasher may use 1.5 gallons per wash, Lyfe’s units use three-quarters of a gallon and sanitize without chlorine—a boon for local sewage systems.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The one nagging question</span> is scale. Lyfe has figured out how to get 10,000 pounds of brussels sprouts to tables in Palo Alto with minimal spoilage, but what about getting 100,000 pounds to nine more cities? A million pounds to 100 cities? Roberts hopes to see his chain expand to 500, even 1,000 restaurants within several years. Can America’s farmers possibly grow, process, and deliver enough fresh, local, organic, hormone-free, non-antibiotic-addled, health-saving, world-redeeming ingredients?</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
It’s clear that as of now, the answer is most definitely no. The morning after my lunch in Palo Alto, a Lyfe delegation treks to San Juan Bautista, California, to visit Earthbound Farm, the nation’s largest grower of organic produce. Earthbound supplies Costco, Safeway, and Walmart with prewashed and packaged tenderleaf (more commonly known as salad greens) and now controls 49 percent of the organic lettuces market—which means it keeps a lot of people in arugula, frisée, and romaine.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
When Lyfe’s consultant, Campbell, mentions the target scale, Earthbound’s senior manager for national food service, Jon Kiley, screws up his face in a frown. Lyfe’s menu features a fair share of beets, cabbage, chayote, and potatoes, not to mention boatloads of those brussels sprouts. As Kiley points out, organic root vegetables are a lot tougher to supply than organic frisée, kale, and arugula. Since they take a long time to grow, they’re more susceptible to insects and consequently more difficult to deliver as organic (no chemical pesticides allowed)—which may create a problem when it comes to Lyfe’s future demand for organic potatoes and sweet potato fries. Also, expanding production is hard under the current rules for organic produce: It takes three years just to certify a field as organic, and five to seven years before the soil becomes truly productive. “It may be viable,” Kiley says, “if you have 50 stores.” But 20 times that? The question hangs in the air unanswered.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
Also left unmentioned is the problem of seasonality. As of now, no one at Lyfe claims that 100 percent of ingredients can be obtained from organic sources year-round. “The answer has always been no, it cannot be done,” Campbell says. No matter how energy-efficient the kitchen, no matter how technically astute the procurement practices—weather happens. Too much rain rots tomatoes. Oranges freeze. Texas onions shrivel in a drought.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
None of this troubles Mike Roberts, though. Lyfe sees Whole Foods as a model for how responsible food consumption can shift the marketplace. “We’re really, really early,” Roberts says. “There are 80 million people who have become much more aware of the food they eat. And that’s going to continue as far out as we can see.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line; word-wrap: break-word;">
Perhaps he’s right to be sanguine. After all, even as McDonald’s metastasized across America during the 1960s, US farmers weren’t prepared to supply it and its competitors at the staggering scale that they reached during the 1970s. The rise of fast food transformed the entire world agricultural system, in many ways for the worse. If a sustainable-food chain could achieve even a fraction of McDonald’s growth today, then the whole system might shift again, this time for the better. Such, at least, is Roberts’ vision. “I believe, without being religious, that this is a cause,” he says. “‘Take this bread, take this wine,’” he goes on, his dark eyes aglow with the fervor of the priest he never became. “It’s the quintessential element of faith.”</div>

Homer has got that down! In this scene he is downing a donut loaded with high fructose corn syrup aka HFCS. That's right. HFCS, is that sweetener commonly used in packaged and baked goods turns immediately to fat! It's been sweetly, but not innocently, finding it's way into all your baked goods, spaghetti sauces, crackers, breads, yogurt, school lunches, sweetened drinks, soft drinks, bottled teas, coffee and even cough syrup.<br /> <br /><br />You might want to check labels before buying or eating high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup also contains mercury and cobalt, dangerous heavy metals. If you're using any of the popular synthetic 0 calorie sugar, you're also storing fat more rapidly.<br />

Just because the products you have known and loved over the years are full of chemicals, sugars that make you fat, oils that clog your arteries and plug up your intestines and kill your brain cells, doesn't mean you can't enjoy food!<br />

OMGoodness! There are millions of recipes that will please your pickiest guests using pure, clean, REAL ingredients and healthy, naturally occurring sugars from unprocessed sources found in nature that actually keep you slim, happy AND healthy! A few of my favorite sweeteners will satisfy your sweet tooth and even make it healthier!<br /><br />Let's just start with one. Replacing HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) with coconut sugar. That's right, coconut sugar! It's like a gourmet brown sugar and can replace any sugar with ease and great taste! It's my favorite. Loaded with amino acids which help build muscle and has all the naturally occurring minerals in it that will help you metabolize it without storing fat. WOW.<br /><br />There is also a syrup made from the coconut palm that I found in a brand called, Coconut Secret. It can be used in recipes that you would usually calls for corn syrup. It will be burned as energy so your body will not store it as fat. Move over corn syrup. We don't need you any more.<br /><br />Some of my other favorite healthy sugars:<br />
<br />Grade B Maple Syrup<br />Raw Honey<br />Stevia<br />Treholose: Click the link below to learn about this amazing 'Smart Sugar'!<br /><a href="http://www.kickstartcart.com/app/?af=1280173">http://www.kickstartcart.com/app/?af=1280173</a><br />Date Sugar<br />
Homer Simpson just might lose that belly if he knew he could have his sweets without the HFCS!<br />

<br />
Are YOU pouring on the pounds? Not any more! Don't allow any foods with HFCS in your shopping cart or pantry. No need to deprive yourself, though...simply replace your sweeteners with the raw, unprocessed sugars. Sweeten your tea or coffee with them, bake with them, cook with them or buy products without them. Your fat cells will shrink and your body will love you for being so sweet!<br />
<br />
If you want really fast and safe fat loss, you might also love drinking the highest quality green tea or coffee that has garcinia cambogia and other special natural herbs in it and will help that fat melt of quickly! I'm impressed with what I've been learning about this 'holy grail' of fat loss in a coffee or tea cup! WOW. You'll hear more about that, too, on The Magnetic Heart Radio Show. You're gonna LOVE this!!!<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.142857551574707px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><br />

Many of society’s most devastating diseases -- cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s, to name a few -- share a common denominator: faulty angiogenesis, the body’s growth of new capillary blood vessels. Given excessive or insufficient blood vessel growth, serious health issues arise. While researching under Harvard surgeon Judah Folkman, who pioneered the study of angiogenesis, Li learned how angiogenesis-based medicine helps patients overcome numerous diseases by restoring the balance of blood-vessel growth.</div>

The fresh snow here in Loveland, CO couldn't keep the ladies away from a no cost shopping splurge at Candy Rushold's Clothing Swap!</div>
<br />
I picked up some new friends, a designer jacket, a wine colored sweater, two (2!!!) adorable aprons for my cooking class parties and served up a big pot of steaming Quinoa Lime Chili for everyone to sit around and devour! <br />
We had so much fun we forgot to take pictures! OOPS. Thanks for the great party, Candy! I promised I'd share the Quinoa Chili Recipe and the love with everyone.<br />

This chili was born in Denver when my son Jon and his sweetheart, Kristine and I were collaborating on ideas for a fresh vegetarian version using quinoa. We made a soupier version (photo) and then thickened it by adding more beans. It's so satisfying either way! I adapted it to serve 20 a few days later for Candy's Clothing Swap!</div>

<span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-family: Times-Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Heat
coconut oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, *add
garlic and cook for a minute or until fragrant and slightly golden.
Add onion and red pepper and cook for 3-5 minutes or until onion is
translucent. Add in tomatoes, cumin, chili and salt and pepper; bring
to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 6-8 minutes or until
tomatoes begin to break down.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times-Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> To capture the allicin from the garlic which is a major cancer
fighter, cut, dice or chop first and let set for 10 minutes for
maximum nutrient value. Onions also! Do this whenever you are adding
garlic to recipes. Just think, 'garlic and onions first' and then
start prepping your other ingredients.</span></span></span></div>

broth, quinoa, and lentils; bring back to a boil. Cover, reduce heat,

<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times-Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Stir
in black beans, kidney beans, and cilantro. You can add a bit more
broth if you feel you do not have enough, either way chili will
continue to thicken. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Simmer a

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Most people I talk to KNOW it would be in their best interest to choose better quality foods but knowing and doing can be a problem. Time and cost is often a factor - unless you know WHY and especially HOW you can make it work for you. Knowing your WHY and then HOW to follow through is where I can help! I thought it might be helpful to start with WHY. See if you can guess the #1 BEST REASON at the bottom of this post without peeking!

That's right. When I add up the true cost of being sick, it is frightening. Consider the days of not feeling 'on your game'

Your productivity is likely to be a lot less. You lose focus easily and have fuzzy brain.</span></li>

sick, period. Days missed from work. Trip to the vitamin aisle to
quickly try and compensate for all those days you missed taking
extra care of yourself. Paying for a trip to the ER or to the
doctor. The cost of your prescriptions. The extra probiotics it
takes to get your healthy intestinal flora back.
</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Missed time getting out with your
friends, dancing with your wife or playing with your kids. Even your
dog misses out on your attention.

salt and carbs and end up with a bloated belly and extra padding
that makes you miserable in your clothes.</span></div>

<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whatever 'ails' me aches more
because of the added inflammation in my tissues.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My immune system is on overload
trying to keep up with the extra toxins and chemicals, trans fats,
sugar and highly refined flours and can't adequately protect me.
Think cellular breakdown.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My hormones are 'disrupted' and
thrown out of balance and 'when those hormones aren't happy, ain't
nobody happy!”</span></div>

<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I had to give my concert
tickets to someone else so I could stay at home and recuperate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My get up and go, got up and
went!</span></div>

<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have trouble sleeping and
when I do sleep, I wake up wishing I could sleep more.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My moods have a roller coaster
of their own. OR, they are stuck in low gear or so ADD I can't
focus.</span></div>
</li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">My stress levels have me in a
chronic state of anxiety and fatigue.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: large;">And now the DRUM ROLL....</span></div>

<b>The BEST REASON OF ALL</b> for eating the most clean, nourishing vibrant, alive food that makes my cells dance and my heart sing<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">13. Because I love myself enough!</span></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The more
nourished I am with pure, quality food, the more alive I feel. My brain is firing on all cylinders, my hormones are happier and I'm feeling energized and in charge of my life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The
more I feel this vibrant energy flowing through me the more I have
to give. <b>The more I give, the more magnetically flows back to me. It is an endless circle of love!</b> So choose LOVE and you'll be
choosing a vibrantly healthy, abundant life!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With Abundant Love ~</span><br />
