Happy Plant Based Thanksgiving.   This is the time of year to give and be greatful.  What a better way than introducing friends and family to wonderful, delicious vegetable and fruit dishes.   How about a vegan no oil cookie exchange or even yet a vegetable dish card exchange.   By bringing and making dishes for others they learn and you get to eat healthy food.  Remember it is a journey for everyone but all of us face challenges early on so support each other.   I will be starting my sixth class and will actually be having two time slots this session.   We also have set the date, January 23, 2016 for the first Charlotte County Plant Based Nutrition Conference with food, speakers, and cooking demonstrations that last the whole day.  I will be making the official announcement in the next few week as well as letting you know who the featured fantastic world renouned speaker will be.   I am just a little bit excited.  Email me at [email protected] with questions or check out my website at doctordulaney.comPlease log onto itunes and give me a 4 start review so the plant based word can be spread.   Remember to pay it forward and share a little plant based love this season.  Peace to all.

This episode is dedicated to the French people as they stand strong the day after the horrific terrorist attack in Paris.   My heart goes out to all affected by this tragety.  Something positive happens everyday.  You are not your disease.  Your are a person with a challenge.  These are some of the messages Dr. Goldner lives by.  She is a true healer and the definition of what a medical doctor should be.   She healed herself through plant based nutrition and is now dedicated to helping others.   She is a light house of positivity and encouragement.   Check out her book: Goodbye Lupus.  How a Medical Doctor Healed Herself Naturally.  Her website is veganmedicaldoctor.com.  You will not be sorry.   If you have questions please contact me at [email protected].   Our next nutrition class starts December 9, 2015 for 6 sessions.  We are planning a day long semiar January 23, 2016.   It is a great time to visit Florida.  Peace to all.

Halloween starts with the candy.  Did you buy the kind you like so that you can have what is left?  Did you think what might be a little healthier or perhaps vegan?  Still a lot of sugar in the stores as you wall in.  Now we are approaching Thanksgiving which has grown to become centered around the poor turkey somehow.   Have you considered pardoning your own turkey this year?  George H. Bush was the first to do so in 1989.  How about pumpkin pie?  Sarah Josepha Hale made the first set of Thanksgiving recipes in 1863.   We will enjoy a tofu/pumpkin pie in a date/nut crust.   If you are plant based you can be thankful for taking back control of your own health.   Still struggling?   Is it like walking across the hot embers in a fire walk?  Looking to the end result of good health and great taste can lead you across.   Take a covered dish to you family's house if they are not plant based   Quietly lead by example this year and perhaps next year they will join you.   Send me your favorite Thanksgiving recipe made plant based.   I will share it with everyone and perhaps make it myself.   Be thankful and compassionate this eating season and you will find much joy and happiness.   Email me at [email protected] and check out my website at doctordulaney.com
