published late last week and I wanted to share with you.

Green has been my favorite color since childhood.
My entire bedroom was green, my clothes & tennies were green, my swimsuit, cap, googles & towel: GREEN! My best stroke on swim team was breast stroke and my legs were long and lanky and my hair turned green from the chlorine. I guess it was inevitable my friends gave me the nickname: FROGGY
Years later, not SO many years, as a soon to be Certified Health Coach, Mo, the Morselist, a.k.a.Froggy, has concocted her
List of favorite greens, which are loaded with micro nutrients, Chlorophyll, fiber, vitamins, low calorie, nutrient dense foods.
How many of these are in your fridge, freezer, pantry, belly?

YIPPEE, Susannah! Will you be adding morsels to your cart? 🙂

I’ll be sure to take your GREEN LIST
with me!! Thanks
Broccoli baby, what about broccoli?!
YES, BABY BROCCOLI!! or broccolini! 🙂
thanks for the reminder, Nani!
Well, this looks just like what my 92 year old mother-in-law brought for dinner yesterday. Only hers were spinach burgers made with good bread crumbs, pinoli nuts, and parsley. She also roasted some red peppers, dressed with organic olive oil and parsley and she made stuffed artichokes. We did our part to complete a nice vegetarian meal. Plants and herbs are filled with all that we need to keep healthy and vibrant. Well, Sleep is a key component too.
Sleep Well, Live Longer!
Mmmm…your grandma’s recipes sound incredible! So, does she!
