Learning to cook well, ‘n stay away when something’s baked!

Warren’s guidelines for healthy snacks when we’re Macro!

A snack gets us through hunger ‘tween lunch & dinner ~

So our day’s productive & we’re a lot funner!

Snacks easy for travelin’ or carting ’round town.

Macrobiotic Cooking Class, Atlanta: Breakfast of Champions & Company too

Marsha — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 19:22:48 +0000

Breakfast of Champions! Gets You Up and Keeps You Going!

So, why attend a class about breakfast! What’s so special about this one meal to warrant a Macrobiotic Cooking Class called Breakfast of Champions. Numerous reasons! One of the first questions asked about Macrobiotic Diet is: what do you eat for breakfast?? do you really have miso soup in the morning? What’s wrong with dry cereal and skim milk for breakfast?

Want the skinny on breakfast? Ever notice Dunkin’ Donuts logo: we get you up and keep you going! Sure do! All that sugar and caffeine, and guess what happens to our blood stream at 11:00 AM & 3:00 PM? Hypoglycemic dip ~ we are falling on our face, and needing what??? Another coffee break: latte, donuts, breakfast bars to get us going ‘til lunch.

And now, folks, here’s the Macro take on breakfast: providing sustainability. How would soaring energy til 12:30 or 1:00 fit your bill! Perform all morning, and be the wiz at work, home, home-schooling, driving without dozing, exercise/yoga/walk strongly. In other words, enjoy peak performance throughout your day.

Easily achieved with a macro breakfast: composed of a grain and a vegetable. Our rice and other whole grain, warm nourishing dish would keep the 3 bears and Goldilocks happy forever! And you too. Delish and sweet without sugar, it’s so easily digested we can concentrate on tasks at-hand, rather than sluggishly, barely being able to navigate through the morning. Looking for the donut cart to peel around the corner. Vegetables for breakfast??? you ask. I know it seemed so different to me too, but just think about it. Veggies get the digestive tract moving, so what better time than first thing in the morning? And speaking about time, wanta know the best time for eating breakfast? Best before 8 AM. Between 5-7 AM, and we’ll explain more about this in the class. Really Creamy Porridge that’s Not Oatmeal – oatmeal is sooooo mucous forming we just save it for when we’re traveling and can’t get our other grains!

Here’s more about the selections & health benefits you will learn in this Macrobiotic Cooking Class: Breakfast of Champions

Join us!! February 26, 2011 1:00 – 4:00 PM $45 per person

Benefits: Relaxes, satisfying drink, can also serve as a dessert

Macrobiotics Home Remedies Cooking Class, Atlanta, Feb 8

Marsha — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 05:23:33 +0000

This Home Remedies Class is just as about as important as learning miso soup, brown rice, beans and & greens!

LIke the Crown Jewel of Macrobioitics! Why?

Remedies are amazing combinations of macro food already on the shelves of our kitchen.

Only, we might never think of preparing them to help us overcome fever, pain, hasten cuts healing, menstrual cramping,

severe bruises from a fall, severe headaches ~ even migraines, jet lag, medicating for a dental appointment, & much more, til you learn it in a class! Then you know! Your confidence level just measured, yep, I can do this! Easily!

Warren explains taking conventional medicines band-aid a situation, rather than heal it from within,

actually driving the condition deeper into our body. But macrobiotic home remedies hasten healing, and change the direction of our health.

This class is really special, and important for those new to macrobiotics. You’ll have these great tools and know how to

use them right from the start of your practicing macro. Which is why we planned it at the beginning of the series!

It’s so much better knowing how to make these remedies well, before you, or someone you love, need them.

Then, you’ll be the expert. And sure, you’ll follow directions, but you won’t be learning it from scratch at an emergency!

Much easier to observe an experiment in a cooking class mode, than on yourself or family member when they are in pain, don’cha think?

And you’ll become the expert offering your 2 cents on The Kind Life Website of Alicia Silverstone, and suddenly everyone knows your preferred home remedy! Alicia refers to Carrot-Daikon Tea, which you’ll be sampling, too!

So, please join this class, part of our Tuesday with Marsha Series, next Tuesday Morning, February 8th 10 AM – 1 PM $45 per person

RSVP: marshaarueff@mac.com – 678 . 643 . 5662 - 770 . 396 . 9413

And quite easy to follow, just do what we do,

Fred & I are really grateful for this chance to share with you!

After Fred’s heart surgery, starting with Dean Ornish before we knew macro,

Macrobiotic Home Remedies Class, Atlanta, Tuesday, February 8, 2011

Marsha — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:12:16 +0000

Remember in Alicia Silverstone’s, The Kind Diet, the tips for Quicker Weight Loss? Well the Tea or Carrot-Daikon Drink is actually a Home Remedy developed by Michio Kushi to help heal many conditions. Usually with the guidance of a macrobiotic counselor. It’s even nick-named the macro roto-rooter, because it’s very cleansing throughout our body.

Well, this home remedies class features very different kind recipes than usually taught in our macrobiotic cooking classes. And it’s a very unique class as well, teaching recipes for utilizing food to heal us everyday. So if you are wishing to skip aspirin/advil, sleeping & anxiety meds, heal cuts, abrasions, fever without ill-side effects, this class is for YOU!

Especially a great idea if you are seeing Warren Kramer, Senior Macrobiotic Counselor, when he visits Atlanta in March! You’ll be an expert on the remedies he may suggest just for you.
