These candies from Specialty Foods Holding in Washington were made with natural coloring! Kathy Coy said it took them forever to get this bright red with fruit juices, but they managed to be the first to get this much color without any dye.
As delicious as it is healthy - low in fat and calories, high in fiber and iron, and great cold, warm or at room temperature.
There is no hiding the garlic flavour in this lusciously smooth soup - fresh zucchini from the garden (or your neighbour’s!) is a wonderfully seasonal base for a creamless, creamy pot of goodness that is packed with nutrients and taste, not fat! Adapted from The Kitchn
There were lots of kid drinks on the floor this year, targeted at giving children less sugar and more options. This Fruit 66 product was a big hit with adults, too (as well as Laurie S.'s kids!) It was fruity, fizzy, and refreshing without tasting too sweet.
spicy peach and radish salad, invented the other night to include a bushel of local, organic mint we were gifted and whatever we had in the fridge. The spice is from the jalapeno and some black pepper
One of my favourite herbs! Stevia is about 30 times sweeter than sugar, with no calories or fat! Japan has been using it to as a non-calorie sweetener in its treats for decades. It's safe for anyone, and highly researched. Used over the long term, it seems to help with weight loss, hypoglycemia and diabetes; perhaps due to the chromium, or other assistance in the regulation of the pancreas.
It cannot nurture yeast or fill bulk in the batter for cakes and cookies since it has no bulk or caloric food value. So it can't be used as a direct sugar substitute. However, in the leaf form, it is extremely inexpensive and can impart its sweet flavour to water, oil, and alcohol. Put it in your tea instead of sugar or honey. Make your own infusion of sweetness and add directly to your recipes. Add to oil for sweet lip balms and cosmetics. Add to alcohol to create your own tinctures and concentrates. Feel free to experiment with this wonderful herb, and send in your recipes and projects!
Don't buy prepacked tea bags, where you can't even determine the quality. Go for the real thing! If you are making healing teas, baths, soaps, or other projects, always get the finest quality, and protect the Earth, our Mother, by using organically grown and environmentally friendly where possible.
If you would like to experiment with these magical and healing plants but don't want to order giant quantities or want to waste your time shopping around for the best quality, let me do it for you! I make all of my products with the freshest, most organic, best preserved and most potent herbs I can find, and I am always willing to help promote herb use by sharing my stash or my experience.
Price is for 50 grams, or just under two ounces, packaged in a resealable envelope. $2 off shipping with the purchase of two items. Three or more and shipping is free!
There were many snack products being shown this year, but Popchips may have won our hearts the most. The potato slices are actually popped (heat applied until they pop), eliminating fats or oils. Yet they retain an incredible crunch and taste. They come in all flavors and can be found now at Target and other stores.

This guy was a big hit at the expo, walking around to promote a water ionizer that sanitizes with tap water. (Laurie S. did a blog post about this.) His costume was hilarious, though -- he kept hitting people in the head with his "nozzle head"!

When you think "eating disorder' you most likely picture a skeletal woman whose ribs stand out and whose cheeks are sunken in. As well as I'm thinking that when you see an overweight teen young boy, the last point you're thinking is 'I wonder if he has an anorexia?' Just what many individuals...

My cooking isn't necessarily very photogenic, ha, but it is tasty! I generally make really simple (and cheap) dishes but I still think they are delicious. I never really properly learned how to cook, I just kind of freehand it, no measuring. Simple and goof-proof and VERY FAST because I am quite impatient!
So simple, yet so FREAKING delicious. Who knew the simple pear could turn into something as rich, caramelly, and smooth as this butter-like spread? Sugar free, fat free, allergen-free and vegan FTW! Adapted from The Old Farmer's Almanac Garden-Fresh Cookbook.
