2 good ideas!

[jonsi]

Again, some of us that have lived through the "M" nightmare have changed what we eat day to day. I believe that what we eat is a KEY to "morgellons". Anything we put in to our body that is not natural is food for the "M". I eat very little carbs... pasta & bread are NOT good. But I like fruits & vegies.

GMO's, pharmaceuticals, included... I never ever took any prescription to get better.

I know that when I eat junk food, at fast food chains, any restaurant that goes coast to coast (Chile's & Red Lobster for example), processed foods, deli meat, etc, I don't feel as good.

Please check out these recipes & the other recipes on this site.

It takes a lot of hard work to pay attention to our diet. We have to do some of the work for ourselves. It is worth the time & effort.

In the white light,

ps. get 20 minutes of sunshine today if you can, turn off the tv and listen to some good music!

Here's a good dressing which originates from Bon Appetit magazine and is similar to one I make. You can easily change out the type of vinegars, oils and spices used to suit what you like best or to go with your different ingredients. I like lots of garlic so I nearly always add more garlic to most salad dressing recipes. Chopped shallots can be used to or a small amount of powered mustard added for extra zest.

Basic Italian Dressing from Sue Ann Scarcia-Barry: Lititz, Pennsylvania
Bon Appetit December 1992

yield: Makes about 1/2 cup
This dressing is great for turning mixed greens, steamed broccoli or asparagus spears into a delicious salad.


Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
• 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
• Pinch of dried oregano

Combine all ingredients in small bowl and whisk to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

The recipe sounds really good for Italian dressing so I'll try it, but I'd make one change... I always use apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vinegar. Apple cider vinegar with the "mother" (unfiltered) available at health food stores (Bragg's) is the most healthful because it helps recolonize the gut with beneficial bacteria. The other vinegars do not do this.
