I have such a special treat for you today. Since I am in the final stretch of writing my manuscript (!!!), I’ve asked Julie from the Alkaline Sisters to take over this week. She’s created a gorgeous spring recipe for all of you who really need a bite of brightness (I figure that is anyone who has survived the polar vortex, am I right?). I’ve been a fan of Julie’s site for a long time now, but we met in person for the first time last summer and the serendipitous sparks flew! We’ve been online pals ever since. She is an expert on achieving alkalinity, and I’ve asked her to give us the low-down on this very topic. After curing her own health issues with an alkaline diet, she is sharing her inspiring journey and culinary creations on her beautiful blog. She also has a book in the works and I know it is going to be absolutely amazing! Can’t wait.
I will be back very soon, but in the meantime let’s all sit back and learn something from this very wise woman. Thank you Julie, for sharing your knowledge with us! What a blessing.

I’m so pleased that I could support Sarah by sharing a recipe with you today as she nears completion of her book. I can only imagine the juggling that is happening as she cares for her wee babe in between wielding her heavy camera and cooking up some tasty business to style and photograph, not to mention the writing required to explain the recipe. Lord knows I understand the process since I just recently handed my cook book manuscript in to my publisher, phew!
When we had lunch last summer we realized that we were both working with the same publisher, what are the chances of that? We’ve both been feverishly working away on our cook books but I certainly didn’t give birth to a newborn baby as I worked thru the chapters of my book! I swear Sarah has somehow acquired super powers as she’s hardly missed a beat here on the blog! She’s managed to continually inspire you and I with a fabulous new recipe pretty much every week since she started the book, save for popping out a beautiful baby boy! That’s more than I can attribute to since I took a bit of a hiatus from my blog to work on my book while caring for my family of 4, trying to stay sane and enjoy the journey.
So here I am, happily giving her a bit of relief so she can wrap up the final details of her book. Now she can focus, take good care of her precious family, knowing that you are inspired for yet another week. So
With Springtime making it’s way here I cannot delay to begin flavored the periodic flavors that I have skipped since last year. Lovely organic beans always make me think of lighter sunnier days and the exploding veggies of aspiring plants.

I’m unfaithful with freezing beans so please absolve me for my passion with the cause up to my preferred year. Because my astrology is Aries, I come by it honestly:)
