Fondues, Fondue Books, Fondue Recipes, Fondue Pots





Fondues are definitely a labor of love as they require a significant amount of time and attention. In my experience, timing is everything when preparing cheese fondue. But it is a fun and interesting meal which everyone always compliments and enjoys.

Save $10 on Health Adventure Coach @ Vitacost!

I've shopped online for over 6 years for 90% of my Nutrition Supplements purchases. Until recently I was totally devoted to one particular company until I found VITACOST and find even better savings and discounts.


Vitacost has over 30,000 health and wellness products, including vitamins, supplements, herbs, personal care products, organic foods and more.

I now purchase brand name quality products that I would otherwise have to purchase from a local health food store but without the travel and I usually save up to 30%-40% off regular retail prices.

What else I like about Vitacost is that they have daily and monthly sales/deals if you sign up via email.

Another great deal: I NEVER pay for shipping b/c I order the minimum amount needed to receive FREE shipping.

Check them out for yourself and save $10 on your first order.

If you have any questions or need a Natural Products Consultation, contact me at lori@health-adventure-coach.com.

Consultation: $15/session (max 45 minutes)

Some think it is the luck of the draw and unpreventable. Do you think this?
Some believe it is contingent upon the state of our health - what we eat, how fit we are etc.
Is it caused by environmental factors?

Treating Cancer With Herbs
Treating Cancer With Herbs
- $ 27.95
In this book, Dr. Tierra provides a complete, systematic approach to treating cancer from a holistic perspective, while detailing the entire range of herbs and herbal medicines available to the practitioner and the patient alike.



Foundation for Cancer Research and Wellness is committed to providing and advancing research, education, advocacy and support of and for least-toxic and minimally-invasive cancer prevention and treatment practices.

According to Executive Director Michael Gingerich, husband of a breast cancer survivor:


  • Through its New ERA Cancer Research Fund, FCRW intends to lead the quest to provide research funding into least-toxic and minimally-invasive cancer prevention and treatment options. FCRW has a specific emphasis in understanding the links between nutrition, the environment and cancer. Research to demonstrate these links and the required cultural and lifestyle changes ranks as a top priority.

  • Another primary goal of FCRW is to teach “integrative cancer care” - to provide accurate, up-to-date information on mobilizing the “whole person” in cancer prevention and recovery.   FCRW’s goal is nothing less than to transform cancer prevention and care.

  • FCRW seeks to establish a new paradigm in healthcare - to move the U.S. healthcare system from a “sick-care” system to a “well-care” system. This is a massive cultural shift and requires training broad segments of society to see themselves as the primary source of health and healing.
     
  • FCRW provides direct help now.  Through its ground-breaking international "Tele-Support Network" and counseling, persons living with cancer receive personal consultation and support on the many aspects of integrative cancer care.

Homeopathic Sleep Tonic Safe During Pregnancy & Nursing


It is always exciting for me to have to go digging and researching for a product that is suitable and effective for different health concerns. A few days ago a friend in Oregon shared a need and at the time I wasn't able to find a product that would work in her situation.
My friend has been experiencing insomnia and lack of sleep for several months beginning early in her pregnancy and is still an issue now that the baby has been born and she is nursing.

Being someone who also experiences bouts of insomnia or not being able to fall back asleep once I am awakened, I thought to recommend to the natural remedies I use, however after researching them I discovered that they were not recommended for nursing mothers.

Back to the drawing board. I scrolled through the companies whose products I promote at Health Adventure Coach LLC and actually use for myself and my dog [yes I treat my beagle holistically] and found a product that would be appropriate for my friend.

So yes, I am very excited and shared it with her immediately and I certainly am sharing it with you my readers.


  • Relaxes mild tension and increases drowsiness
  • Reduces sleeplessness associated with insomnia
  • Balances the hormones involved in sleep patterns
  • Restores rejuvenation through restful sleep
  • Maintains routine balance of cell salts in the body

Savor The Flavor of Fresh-Grown Herbs



I first began growing my own herbs in 2009. Being a lover of and daily consumer of fresh green salads, it had been my longed-for desire to have fresh herbs to compliment them.  The Supermarket cost of 1 package of fresh herbs cost about the same or more than a new plant.






My wish came true:  it was in Idaho where I finally had my own  home so my husband and I designed and built a small raised garden in our backyard.




Besides planting veggies and  herbs in the garden directly, I also placed them in pots and crates on our patio pad.
   

I really enjoy the flavor of a variety of herbs but I think my most-favored one is BASIL!
I've grown Sweet Basil, Thai Basil, Boxwood Basil, Cinnamon Basil, Lemon Basil and Chocolate Basil and YES - they truly do taste just like those flavors.





My list of reasons why I love living in Florida seems to grow each day and one of them certainly is the fact that I can grow herbs outdoors most of the year (haven't tried it in Dec/Jan yet).
















Today I was craving the taste of my lovely Basil so I picked Sweet Basil, Cinnamon Basil and Boxwood Basil  









I mixed them all together and added them to my salad 


Salad Ingredients:

  • Spinach
  • Green Peppers
  • Carrots
  • Cucumber
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Cabbage
  • Portabello Mushroom
  • Frozen Blueberries
  • Frozen Raspberries
  • Frozen Blackberries
I topped it off with my Hazelnut Vinagrette:
  • Hazelnut Oil
  • Olive Oil
  • Minced Garlic
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • Braggs Liquid Aminos
  • Red Wine
  • Maple Syrup
  • Minced Onion
