Engineered milk? What...should they do that? Absolutely not! Imagine, a cow-genetically modified- for the purpose of producing 'allergen free' milk...for babies. This is ludicrous!

According to the "Natural Society," website,
Reading the labels:
Conventional Fruit Labels: Begin with the number 4, and never begin with the number 9.
Genetically Modified Fruit Labels: Begin with the number 8. Note that it begins with 8, not just contains the number 8. This is often a 5 digit number.

I pulled out all of my little goodies and began the process of rehydration.
1. I opened the package and poured the kefir grains into a glass jar.
2. I poured 1 cup of organic non-fat milk into the jar.
3. I covered the jar with a coffee filter and rubber-band.
4. I let it sit in a lukewarm place for 24 hours.

I love Curry and Tumeric (Curcuma longa). These are some wonderful spices to incorporate into your meals. Because of the beneficial phytochemicals in these spices, Curcumin in particular, not only will your taste buds be happy, your body will be healthier. Tumeric fights those awful free radicals that ravage our bodies.

I love something warm and fluffy in the morning, topped with butter and agave. I was perusing my favorite cookbook and found something that called out to be "tweeked."
