Feed Your Good Dog this weekend with this warm nutritious soup from Fit for Life personal training Marietta, Georgia. Thanks Ty!

Delicious Kale and Pinto Bean Soup

Kale and Pinto Bean Soup

There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of soup on a chilly fall day. This soup contains kale, a superfood that is packed with vitamins, minerals and cancer-fighting enzymes. It contains loads of vitamin A, vitamin C, B6, manganese, calcium, copper and potassium.
Servings: 10

Here’s what you need…

1 cup dried pinto beans
1 large yellow onion
1 Tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups filtered water
2 bouillon cubes
dash of freshly ground sea salt
dash of freshly ground pepper
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed between your fingers
5 large carrots, diced
2 bunches kale, chopped

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the beans and cook for 60-90 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In your soup pot heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the cooked beans, water, bouillon, salt, pepper, bay leaves, rosemary, and carrots. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Add the kale and cook another 15 minutes or until kale is tender. Add more water if needed.

Remove the bay leaves, add more salt and pepper if needed.

Nutritional Analysis: One serving equals: 112 calories, 2g fat, 20g carbohydrate, 7.3g fiber, and 6g protein.

ARTISTS AT TANNERY ROW ARTIST COLONY ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER TO IMPROVE ON THEIR TALENTS AND PUT OUT SOME PRETTY FASCINATING PIECES OF ART IN THE PROCESS!
Tannery Row Website Header

Judy Isaak, Artist/Potter

Tannery Row Artist Colony is a visual arts center housing over 18 artists with galleries and studios. The historic Tannery building was renovated in 2003 and is located on West Main Street in Buford, Georgia.

Judy Isaak… Artist, Potter, Maker…joined the ranks of artists at Tannery Row Artist Colony in 2004 and made art her full time job. She is largely self-taught. She will tell you that although it takes a long time to learn that way, it means that she is always learning. She is surrounded by other artists and as a result she continues to learn more about herself, other art forms, and how they relate to her own work.

Judy is pictured here holding one of her Horsehair Pottery vases. Horsehair Pottery is absolutely beautiful non-functional pottery made from white clay that has been bisque fired. Find some time this weekend to treat yourself to the creative atmosphere that is Tannery Row Artist Colony, and ask Judy about the rest of the work that goes into making Horsehair Pottery…you will be inspired.

burrito on plate

Here’s a recipe from Ty Jones at Fit For Life in Marietta, Georgia, for a healthy burrito to sink your teeth into. Whole grains, lean protein and crunchy veggies make this a recipe that you’ll come back to time and again. Serve with a side of your favorite salsa.

Servings: 1

Here’s what you need…
• 1 sprouted grain, flourless tortilla
• 1 Tablespoon hummus
• 1/3 cup cooked brown rice
• 1/4 cup cooked black beans
• 1/2 cup cooked chicken, chopped (or baked tofu)
• 2 Tablespoons fresh corn kernels
• 2 Tablespoons chopped cucumber
• 1/4 cup shredded arugula
• 3 cherry tomatoes, chopped

1. Warm the tortilla in a dry skillet. Spread the hummus evenly over the tortilla.
2. Top the tortilla with rice, beans, chicken and veggies.
3. Fold the two sides of the tortilla in over the filling, then flip up the bottom edge and roll tightly.

Petitions by Change.org|Start a Petition »

Water is everywhere, right? Actually, for such a plentiful resource, clean water is surprisingly scarce. Less than 1% of all fresh water is readily accessible for direct human use, representing only 0.007% of all water on earth. Bet you didn’t know that. Check out five more clean water facts that you might not know:

1. Unsafe drinking water and lack of sanitation kills more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
2. More people have access to a cell phone than to a toilet. Today, 2.5 billion people lack access to toilets.
3. Every day, women and children in Africa walk a combined total of 109 million hours to get water.
4. It takes 6.3 gallons of water to produce just one hamburger. That 6.3 gallons covers everything from watering the wheat for the bun and providing water for the cow to cooking the patty and baking the bun.
5. The average American uses 159 gallons of water every day – more than 15 times the average person in the developing world.

Read this article in its entirety here.

While these facts may be grim, there is hope for real solutions as more and more people around the world are waking up to the clean water crisis. Earlier this year, the UN declared access to clean water a human right and groups like Water.org and charity: water continue to work tirelessly to bring water access to the developing world.

In Memory of Sylvia Caplan (1935 – 2010), who watched over, loved and protected her family and friends during her lifetime and continues to do so as the following poem suggests:

I give you this one thought to keep –
I am with you still – I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning’s hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone –
I am with you still – in each new dawn.

Resource: A Native American Prayer adapted from original poem by Mary Frye.
