I Want to THRIVE
January/February
In 2009 we had the idea of creating six downloadable magazines just for SCDers that would cover the whole year! Each one would include lots of seasonal taste-tested recipes, articles about living and cooking, menus with recipes and shopping lists, and other interesting stuff that someone on the SCD would like! They were and continue to be a big hit! Please enjoy!
Some of these recipes can now also be found in our "Food With Friends" and "International Feast: You Can Eat This!"

Along with all the other stresses of moving, I was faced with the task of locating a doctor who would be supportive of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. The last thing I wanted when going to the doctor was someone who would question my health or make discouraging remarks about the SCD. In conducting a search for the right doctor, these are the steps I took:..." Read more on page 30... Cooking School: Learning About Eggs "Although we probably eat them every day in one form or another, we hardly ever really think about eggs.

Read more on page 21... Thick and Creamy Yogurt Cheese "In Middle Eastern markets, you often find a cool, tangy, fresh white cheese that spreads like soft cream cheese. It is made by draining the liquid whey from plain yogurt so it becomes thick. In many of our recipes..." Read more on page 25... You're The Cook... "About Making Bone Broth Flavoring Cubes. Bone broth is a gift in both flavor and nutrition.

Throw a Winter Appetizer Party! "Winter is the perfect time to shake things up a little by throwing an appetizer party. It's a great way to entertain a group, especially if you are short of seating space, time or resources. Families are getting together for New Year's Day parades and game watching. Friends gather for the Super Bowl, or you might just want to chase away some winter blahs by getting people together by the fireplace! An appetizer party is fun and relatively easy on the cook, so plan one soon. We give you six recipes to get you started! ..." Read more on page 22... |

Out and About at Mimi's Cafe "If you're in the mood for a warm, homey restaurant with a touch of European charm, then Mimi's Cafe is just the one. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner it is a great choice for any meal of the day. My husband and I have some good memories at Mimi's as we dined there often when we were dating. It's a great restaurant because it is comfortable, yet classy, with a variety of delicious food choices for both the SCD diner and... Read more on page 8... How We Met "As Valentine's Day rolls around, I am reminded of the blessing I have in my husband Jim. It's amazing to realize how much time has passed since we met; it will be five years in April!

Dating and the SCD "The thought of dating while on the SCD can be a little daunting. However, with some creativity and planning ahead you can have fun and memorable dates! I dated my husband Jim while on the SCD so I got a lot of practice considering all the angles! We enjoyed a variety of dates..." Read more on page 11... Budget Tips "Many people think that buying the fresh food required on the SCD means they will have a higher grocery bill each month. However, with a little planning ahead and shopping for bargains, you can keep your grocery bill to just about the same as it would be on a "normal" diet. And think of all the money you'll be saving by not going out to eat so much and not eating all that junk food! Tips to help you stay on budget... Read more on page 18... Amazing Honey "Aren't you glad that you can enjoy honey on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet? It makes life sweet, in more ways than one! On your next vacation it would be sweetly rewarding to collect various honeys from the places you visit and you'll soon see that they can be quite varied, depending on the local vegetation. Each region of the world has plants, flowers and trees which produce subtly different flavors of honey..." Read more on page 17... |
