If you read my first blog on Dr. Fuhrman's Eat for Health you will know that Haze and I don't like veggie juice very much. But the Wake up and Smell the Kale was a nice surprise! Chef AJ adds a tropical twist to this juice and it really hides the kale taste nicely. I was not feeling well yesterday and this was sort of like an elixir that brightened me right up! I gave it an A- Haze gave it a B

For lunch (along with a big salad and some leftover soup) I had the It's Easy Being Green Smoothie. It is definitely a new favorite! Rather than a berry base that I am used to in smoothies, this one had again--sort of a tropical spin that made it very tasty. I felt like Superwoman after eating this!! This is a great way to get your kale!! I gave it an A.

The Hearty Lentil Loaf is just completely yummy and filling! It is totally different than the Thanksgiving Non-Meatloaf--a nice new addition to our recipe cache. We both gave it an A. There are tons of variations that you could do with this recipe--like top with BBQ sauce, ketchup, cranberry relish, gravy, slice it and make a sandwich. But we had some leftover guacamole and decided to top it that way. (Actually, Haze wants credit for the guacamole topper!) I couldn't find low-sodium ketchup, so I bought canned, no-salt, fire-roasted tomatoes. We spooned it over our slice of Lentil Loaf and then topped with guacamole. Wow! It was fabulous!!

For dessert I made a variation on the Fundue that Chef AJ calls Nutty Buddies. We absolutely LOVED these! It tasted like an ice cream bar!! We both gave it an A+. YUM!!

Jana, I found your site today. I
have read most posts today. I am excited to have found your blog, and look forward to all updates!
I have great compassion for Haze's colon issues. I have trouble with all gluten filled grains, and eggs. Yet, even cutting those out, I have issues. I have been eating Dr. Furhman style for 8 days. I am better. I was wondering if Haze's symptoms are completely gone?
Hi Naina,
Haze started out with acid reflux, (GERD), and collagenous colitis. All of the symptoms of GERD/ acid reflux went away almost immediately. But he still has the symptoms of colitis--which really is kind of horrible for him! But he is sticking with the diet and according to Dr. Fuhrman, it may take a bit of time until it goes away. He also told Haze to take a Probiotic called VSL#3, Fish Oil, and extra Vitamin D every day. So Haze started that a few weeks ago. But we will continue with this high nutrient diet and I know it will get better!! We are going to do the recipes from Dr. Fuhrman's book Disease Proof Your Kids next--which has some great sounding recipes for everyone--not just kids!!
Take care,
Jana
Ok, I think I am going to need this DVD. The food looks delish!
I hope written recipes come with the DVD - do you know if they do?
Yes, written recipes come with the DVD! Plus some variations on the recipes. Everything has been super easy to make!
I found another fav dessert! The choc dipped banannas look GREAT. Can't wait for the Disease proof your kids too!
Oh, wow, those nutty buddies look really good!
I did go and watch the loaf demo and it looks good, too. Thanks for introducing me to Chef AJ. :)
