It's April Recommended Reading time.
With most people staying at home now, there is plenty of time to spend time with family. to be creative, catch up on reading and exercise. Hopefully you will be able to continue working while at home. Please make time for yourself and take care to keep up with your mental, physical and spiritual habits. Also, don't get caught up eating a crapload of processed junk food. Eating a healthy, whole foods plant-based diet will keep your immune system strong, which is even more critical now. One thing I have noticed, is with this crisis, people have been connecting to their creativity and kindness for one another. Let's not forget that when we get back to the "new"normal.
Let's get started:
WELLNESS
I know the media is bombarding us with Coronavirus information, but this from Food Revolution is useful info on overall wellness, Staying Healthy

FOOD/RECIPES
Here in Florida we are blessed with a year-long growing season. With everyone needing to practice social distancing the local farmers are having their own drive up farmers markets and some plant-based restaurants are having "virtual" farmers markets where you can order many different types of produce, local coffees, honey and even prepared foods weekly and then a curbside pick up!
To keep a healthy immune system you need a healthy gut biome. Fermented foods are one of the best ways to do this. Here is a very easy recipe for Beetroot Sauerkraut
Roasted radishes will become your new favorite veggie with this flavorful recipe.
Roasted Veggies:
We take a variety of cubed root veggies like potatoes, onions, heirloom carrots, zucchini and squash. Mix with a few tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Roast in oven at 450' until potatoes are tender(40-45 min)
Serve on a bed of prepared whole grain or rice spaghetti noodles which has been "fried" in an oiled skillet until it is a little crispy.
For the sweet tooth in us, try these Jammin' Almond Thumbprint Cookies
ENVIRONMENT
Wild For Life is an awesome learning site about our oceans health. Children(and adults) will like Reef Rider Journey, by learning how coral reefs work.
This company in Switzerland is sucking carbon out of the air and making soda.
