Frozen Meat discount COUPON

Summer is grilling season. 4th of July festivities are just ahead. It's a wonderful time of family reunions, picnics, and cook-outs.

The delicious aroma of food cooking on an outdoor grill is one of my favorite things in life. But why throw any slab of meat on the grill, when there is much that is dubious about meat from mainline grocery stores?

Now you can serve your friends and family meat that is better for them because it isn't loaded with chemicals and antibiotics. Free range, grain fed, organic meats and vegetables taste better and are more healthy.

Fresh Deli Guacamole Dip REVIEW

You. Have. Not. Lived. Until you try some fresh guacamole dip from the deli at Naturally Yours Grocery.

There is some seriously delicious eating in that container you see pictured above. Have you ever bought some pre-packaged guacamole dip at a mainstream grocery store? Chances are, you took a few bites, spit it out, and tossed the horrid mess into the garbage can. Awful!

But this! This is really good stuff. You know avocados are rich in nutrients and this dip is loaded with other great vegetables that will tempt you to eat the whole container in one sitting. At least that's what I did.

According to LiveStrong guacamole is very energizing and healthy, especially for your heart.

[QUOTE]

The unsaturated fats, vitamins and minerals in guacamole make this zesty Mexican relish a concentrated source of nutrients and energy. Finely chopped or mashed avocados, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and lime juice come together in guacamole to provide monounsaturated fats, fiber, vitamins C and E and potassium.

The monounsaturated fats in guacamole may help you manage your cholesterol and your risk of heart disease when you consume them in conjunction with a low-cholesterol diet, according to MedlinePlus.

[END QUOTE]

This is definitely a home made type taste treat that you have to try to believe. I was lucky. When I was in the store, there was only one container left of the guacamole dip. I am so happy I was able to snag it.

Just thinking about this deli item is making my tastebuds go nuts.

Naturally Yours Grocery -- where good food and great taste combine for super nutrition.

Organic Watermelon REVIEW

Watermelon. The very word triggers fond memories of childhood, family picnics, and swimming. Two of my favorite summer items are lemonade and watermelons. I decided to try one of the small, personal organic watermelons at Naturally Yours Grocery. I have never had one of these before.

As soon as you slice into it, the pleasant aroma of watermelon fills the kitchen. This mouth-watering delicacy is a delightful treat in hot weather. Very cooling and thirst-quenching.

This organic watermelon was very sweet, perfectly ripe, and completely free of pesticides and other dangerous chemicals that find their way into mainstream grocery store produce. You can eat organic food, and serve it to your family, with confidence.


The smaller size of these personal watermelons make them easier to store in your refrigerator. Be sure to get some the next time you're in the Naturally Yours Grocery store in Peoria or Bloomington-Normal, IL. You will be glad you did.

How to Make a Ground Salad

Join me for a lovely Ground Salad why don't you?

What is a Ground Salad?

A Ground Salad is a mixture of herbs, flowers, and/or other edible plants that are harvested and eaten simultaneously, with little or no time between plucking and eating.  Your salad is coming straight from the ground, not the grocery store or the home or office refrigerator.

Fresh as can be, the organic vegetable material is a terrific way to start your day, harvesting in the morning dew, when the therapeutic volatile oils are at their peak for the day.

You take what you want directly from the garden and immediately consume it, or prepare it with other fixings. From hand to mouth, this hand-picked herbal bouquet makes a delightful lunch, with or without salad dressing.

First, let's charge up with a can of Steaz Iced Tea Peach flavored lightly sweetened green tea beverage. I have greatly reduced my organic coffee intake. I have almost completely replaced soda pop with herbal tea concoctions, water, and fruit juices. Steaz has a variety of nice flavors, sweetened and unsweetened.

While I usually eat my Ground Salad without plates, forks, or dressing, I show a bottle of Annie's Cowgirl Ranch as a recommended accessory. That's sage in the foreground.


Today is cloudy, balmy, storm portending, so the pictures of my Ground Salad assembly process are a bit less bright than usual.

I like to eat and drink out of glass, don't you?

Well here we are, ready for brunch, which today will be a Ground Salad.

You may not make a full salad right now, but I'll explain how to do it. Perhaps you'll just nibble on some Ground Salad ingredients, if you don't feel all that hungry right now. Either way, as morsels or feasts, the Ground Salad is a wonderful boost to your system.

I'm going to start, like I always do, with the French Tarragon. It has a slightly licorice flavor and it stings a little like novacaine. You feel a funny little tingle on the lips and the tip of your tongue. Fun for kids and grown-ups alike.

Feel the slight sting of the French Tarragon. A good breath freshener, as with the different mints we grow.

The novice herb eater may be surprised at how potent the volatile oils are in an organic herb garden in rich Illinois soil.

I don't live that far from the USDA research lab. My wife grew up on a farm. I studied a little Soil Science and Agriculture Mechanics in college, as electives in pursuing a Communications degree. I lived on a communal ranch in California when I was a teen. We're earth people for sure around here.

I can assemble a Ground Salad to your exact specifications.

Culinary and medicinal herbal varieties include Sage, French Tarragon, Greek Oregano, English Thyme, Lime Thyme, Tomato, Banana Pepper, Jalapeno Pepper,  Aloe, Lavender, Chocolate Mint, Spearmint, Licorice Mint, Peppermint, and Rosemary.

Rosemary leaves are really good in chicken noodle soup.

A super abundant, deeply healthy organic sage crop, as usual.

Large lilies (tiger lily, creek lily, or day lily) act as pillars around the garden, plus some interesting ferns that I can't remember the name of right now. Sheep Fern or something? Something British I think.

Here we see the Lime Thyme crop.

Staring down into some pepper plants. Nothing to eat here yet. It'll be more like August and September that we get nice fat peppers in abundance.

A couple of shots of our Lavender crop. Always healthy, radiant, fragrant. Good for coffee flavoring, shampoos, soaps, cachets, perfume oils, potpourri, and all-herbal sedative pillows.

My, just look at that Rosemary.

We do container gardening with our Rosemary plants, which are placed all around the house as air fresheners and chicken dish spice. The outside pots, like this one shown on our deck, are brought indoors when cold winter weather starts to approach.

Here is our Chocolate Mint Garden. Throw a few sprigs of this into your coffee filter or Ground Salad. In percolated coffee, a Fanny Mae Candy aroma fills the kitchen.

The only survivor of last year's small Licorice Mint crop. Hoping this will propagate itself wildly like its cousin Chocolate Mint.

And here we have the regular Peppermint crop, again small but anticipating an abundant propagation, or spreading of new plants, in this front porch garden.

Then we conclude this tour of some of our herb gardens with a glimpse inside a cupboard. You see the L Lysine, MSM, Mullein, Garlic and Parsley, Andrographis, Grapenol, Olive Leaf, Ginger Root, Papaya Extract Tablets (on top of the Quaker Oats box), and Hawthorne supplements. Also shown are Alvita herbal teas and various hot sauces and organic grape seed oil and balsalmic vinegar.

I get the Naturally Yours Grocery bulk bin dried herbs and organic gelatin capsules to make my own Cayenne Powder supplements.

Here are my homemade Organic Curry Powder supplements in gelatin capsules. Curry is reported to be good for mental focus, memory, and other cognitive functioning, a possible preventive for Alzheimer's and senility.

Lastly, above the herbs and hot sauces, is a shelf loaded with different types of organic rice and organic or local natural honey.

Invest in your health and longevity.

Massive Solar Flare Erupted June 7, 2011

A massive solar flare erupted on June 7, 2011. This billion ton ejection plume is quite a sight to see. It's almost troubling to watch the sun belch out all that material and gas in a giant solar explosion.

The sun has been acting quite strangely lately, as if it were preparing for a significant something. Who can say if it's good or bad, or, with any real precision and certainty, what it means? Is the sun sad? Angry at our human imperfections and downright badness? Or is the sun simply yawning at how boring we are? Perhaps it was forced to watch an episode of Entourage or Two and a Half Men.

Well, anyway, our pal the sun seems to be excited or alarmed about something. Perhaps we should monitor the energies we're projecting to self and others, cleanse our metaphysical field, and keep our bearings as we sojourn here on this planet, be sure to remain in love and light at all times. If we must go, let's go in a blaze of positive glory.

Scientists assure us that the explosion was not directed at us, and will not fry our electronics. Whisper a little prayer or send out some mind signals for peace and goodness, if you feel like doing something constructive about the poor sun. Troubled or ailing, how can we know for sure?

Sun, we love you. We hope you feel better soon. Or was that a shout of joy that escaped from your corona? Peace. Be well. And thanks for everything you've done for us and for all future benefits.

Here's what NASA said about the colossal sun outburst, in "Having a Solar Blast".


[QUOTE]

The Sun unleashed an M-2 (medium-sized) solar flare, an S1-class (minor) radiation storm and a spectacular coronal mass ejection (CME) on June 7, 2011 from sunspot complex 1226-1227. The large cloud of particles mushroomed up and fell back down looking as if it covered an area of almost half the solar surface.

he Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) observed the flare's peak at 1:41a.m. ET (0641 UT). SDO recorded these images (above) in extreme ultraviolet light that show a very large eruption of cool gas. It is somewhat unique because at many places in the eruption there seems to be even cooler material -- at temperatures less than 80,000 K.

STEREO B's coronograph captured this event video. Credit: NASA/STEREO All of the solar Heliophysics System Observatory missions captured the event.

When viewed in Solar and Heliospheric Observatory's (SOHO) coronagraphs (top right), the event shows bright plasma and high-energy particles roaring from the Sun.

Also to the right are links to the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) Ahead and Behind coronograph videos showing the CME expansion as viewed from each side of the sun. The STEREO Ahead satellite precedes the Earth as it circles the Sun. The STEREO Behind satellite follows behind the Earth in it's orbit of the Sun. (NOTE: Both STEREO videos will be replaced by better quality version when they become available in 48 hours.)

This not-squarely Earth-directed CME is moving at 1400 km/s according to NASA models. The CME should deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field during the late hours of June 8th or June 9th. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras when the CME arrives.
