			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lundberg wild rice blend is sold at the Roanoke Natural Foods Co-op and though more expensive than regular brown rice is much more flavorful.  Another secret here is carmelizing the onions.  Enjoy!</p>
<p>1 cup wild rice blend</p>
<p>1-2 Tbsp. butter&#8211;can substitute with olive oil</p>
<p>2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil</p>
<p>1/2 cup chopped onion</p>
<p>2 Tbsp. fresh chopped oregano</p>
<p>1/4 cup chopped green olives</p>
<p>salt, pepper, and tamari to taste</p>
<p>Place rice in a sauce pan and rinse well in plenty of water.  Drain all the water off with a stainer.  Pour 1 and 1/2 cups of boiling water into the saucepan.  Place lid on the pan and simmer on low heat until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. </p>
<p>While the rice is cooking, carmelize the onions.  Melt the butter in a skillet and add the olive oil.  As soon as the oil is hot (but not burning!) add the chopped onions.  Stir well to coat the onions with oil.  Add a 1/2 tsp. of sea salt.  Continue to stir over med. heat until onions are soft and browned and excess moisture has evaporated&#8211;this may take 10 minutes or more.  Add the oregano, olives, and stir a few minutes more.  Add cooked rice and fluff up with a fork to mix well.  Season with tamari, salt and black pepper.  Serves 3-4.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>2 cups washed lambs quarter weed, collards or kale</em></p>
<p><em>extra-virgin olive oil                            </em></p>
<p><em>sea salt to taste</em></p>
<p>Great tasting greens that kids will eat!  Be sure to get help identifying lambsquarter if you don’t know what it is.  It is highly nutritious and mild tasting and grows all spring and summer long.  Pat the greens dry with a towel.  Rip bigger leaves into 2-inch pieces discarding thick ribs/stalks.  Spread on a baking sheet and drizzle a teaspoon or so of olive oil over the leaves. Work with hands to distribute the olive oil.   Spread out well for good drying.  Sprinkle with salt.  Bake at 300, 15 minutes or until thoroughly dry.</p>

<p>1/2 red onion, chopped</p>
<p>1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil</p>
<p>1 small zucchini, chopped</p>
<p>4 eggs, beaten</p>
<p>1 cup leftover wild rice</p>
<p>2 tsp. dried basil or 2 Tbsp. fresh chopped very fine</p>
<p>1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (can be goat or sheep milk feta)</p>
<p>1/2 tsp. salt and black pepper to taste </p>
<p>hot pepper sauce to garnish, optional</p>
<p>In a 10-inch skillet saute the onions in olive oil over medium heat about 5 minutes.  Add the zucchini and cook another 5 minutes.  Stir as needed to prevent sticking.  Add the cooked rice, basil, salt and pepper, and stir.  After a few minutes pour the beaten eggs slowly into the skillet.  Sprinkle the feta cheese evenly over the omelet.  Cover with a lid and cook over low to med. low heat until just set.  Do not overcook&#8211;eggs are easier to digest when lightly cooked.  Serve warm.  Serves 2.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://roanokechiropractor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/cranberrydrink.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-536" title="cranberrydrink" src="http://roanokechiropractor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/cranberrydrink.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="140" /></a>This festive <strong>CRANBERRY DRINK</strong> has many merits! It is unusual in that the cranberries and oranges are not cooked or heated in any way; the nutrient levels are maintained better when a food is not heated. It has peppermint tea which aids digestion. It is not high in sugar since stevia is used to sweeten and the natural fruit sugar in the orange juice is diluted by the tea and cranberry juice. Many people do not realize that cranberries are very sour alone so that products made with them (besides being heated) are very high in added sugar. This drink is a refreshingly low-sugar way to enjoy the health benefits of cranberries. One other benefit—being a fluid it contributes to your 8 or so cups of recommended fluids a day.</p>
<p>RAW CRANBERRY ORANGE DRINK</p>
<p>1 12 oz. Bag fresh cranberries, organic is best</p>
<p>8 organic juicing oranges</p>
<p>3 peppermint tea bags</p>
<p>2-3 cups water</p>
<p>stevia extract to taste</p>
<p>This beverage can be made with a blender or a vegetable juicer. It is also helpful to have a citrus juicer.</p>
<p>Boil the water and pour into a glass quart jar or a teapot and add 3 peppermint tea bags or 3 Tbsp. of the dried herb. Let steep until cooled to room temperature.</p>
<p>Wash cranberries and drain. If you are using a vegetable juicer, put them through a vegetable juicer and set aside the juice. If using a blender place the cranberries into a blender. Add the tea to the blender and blend very well. Strain mixture through a strainer into a glass bowl and press pulp with a spoon until most of juice is removed. Discard pulp or put it into homemade  cranberry sauce.</p>
<p>Juice oranges. Mix orange juice, cranberry juice, and tea if you used a vegetable juicer to extract the cranberry juice, in a pitcher. Add stevia to sweeten to taste. Enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Webster In-utero Constraint Technique is a specific chiropractic  analysis and adjustment used to correct subluxations in the pregnant mother&#8217;s sacrum and pelvis.  These adjustments relax the mother&#8217;s muscles and ligaments, providing the physiological environment necessary for normal baby positioning.  (Remember, chiropractors work to correct subluxations or misalignments of spinal bones and other joints.  When subluxated, spinal bones put pressure on the spinal cord and the spinal nerves causing malfunction of any part of the body.)</p>
<p>Dr. Larry Webster, Founder of the Internationsl Chiropractic Pediatric Association, developed this technique as a safe means to restore proper pelvic structure and function for pregnant mothers.  In expectant mothers presenting breech, there has been a 75%-95% success rate of the baby turning to the normal vertex position. </p>
<p>Most commonly known for its success in allowing breech babies to turn, the Webster technique also assists other non-vertex positioning which may indicate the presence  of subluxation and in-utero constraint.   Chiropractors trained in this technique  strongly recommend its use throughout pregnancy to detect subluxations and prevent in-utero constraint.  For more information visit <a href="http://icpa4kids.org/Chiropractic-Research/Webster-Technique/" target="_blank">icpa4kids.com</a>.</p>
