Video: Mango, Peach and Chia Seed Pudding

Dear brothers and sisters,

We prepare a mango, peach chia seed pudding by way of welcoming the first peaches of the season. We begin by making our own almond milk and add chopped peaches and mangos. We then add chia seeds for body and texture and vanilla, maple syrup and Hawaiian honey for delight.

We then present an inspiring video about a woman who dug up her front lawn and made it into a garden for her neighborhood. It seems that even in this nation of strangers, there is still hope.

We follow with a strawberry cream pie recipe, gluten and dairy free, of course.

Our May victory garden sale includes black sesame oil, sliced almonds and blanched almonds.

Then Ben, with GrowVeg, gives some fascinating tips on increasing the productivity of your garden. 

We conclude with Dale Bredesen, MD who shares some fascinating thoughts on “disrupting dementia” with a diet based on living food and with vigorous exercise.
