You’re going to consume living water present in fruits and vegetables which are infused with fructose, natural fruit sugars. — Lemons have ‘pulling’ and astringent effects in the body which open up the lymphatic system, cleanse the kidneys, flush the liver. — Fruit is a ‘stimulant,’ so I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t consume just fruit for breakfast! — When you need to be more balanced and steady, make sure to eat vegetables! — Perhaps one reason why fruits and vegetables aren’t more popular as a basis for our diet is because there isn’t much profit in them…no one can patent a watermelon! Everyone already agrees that watermelon is good for us, so you never hear anything on the news about watermelon controversies. — As your level of consciousness is raised, via the clarity that raw fruits and vegetables provide, you may find yourself less interested in things like trashy magazines and violent movies…not that they are inherently bad, but again, you …

In this video, Betty demonstrates a Brown Sugar Glazed Ham recipe, dating back to her college days (in the ’60′s). Being a starving student, Betty almost always had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the university cafeteria. One item that was served repeatedly was Glazed Ham. Betty (using her ever-analyzing food talents) created the following recipe as an imitation of the ham served in the cafeteria, and she has continued to make it throughout her 39 (almost 40!) years of marriage. Ingredients: 1 canned ham (I used Hormel brand, 5 pounds. You may use any brand, and reduce it to 3 pounds, if desired.) 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 2 tablespoons prepared mustard 1 teaspoon orange juice (You may use another flavor of juice or a juice drink.) Remove the canned ham from the container and place in a crock pot on low for 6 to 8 hours. You may need to cut it into two pieces to get it to fit in the crock pot. When you are ready to put your Brown Sugar Glazed Ham recipe together, remove the ham from the crock pot, and place it on a tray for slicing. Use a kitchen knife, slicer, or electric knife to slice the ham into equal pieces. You may decide to leave some of the ham unglazed for guests who prefer to skip the brown sugar flavor. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of prepared mustard. Use about 1 teaspoon of orange juice to get them to combine. Now spread the tops and bottoms of your sliced ham and place them in an appropriately-sized …
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make hearty and delicious Comforting Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup. It is slow cooked with steak cubes and tasty vegetables and spices. It is made in such a way as to make it the lowest fat version of soup that has meat in it. Ingredients: 2 pounds lean beef cubes, trimmed of fat (I used 1 pound of eye of round steak and 1 pound of top sirloin steak.) 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon salt 3 quarts (12 cups water) 3 cups tomato juice 2/3 of an 8-oz. can tomato sauce 3 bay leaves 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 onion, chopped 3 cups mixed vegetables (I used a 16-oz. package of frozen vegetable soup starter. If you cannot find this, just use frozen mixed vegetables, or drained Veg-all, or freshly chopped vegetables of your choice.) 1 teaspoon chili powder 6 additional cups water saltine crackers, for serving (I used fat-free saltine crackers.) Chop 2 pounds of lean beef into cubes. (I prefer to use steak, because it is less fatty than stew meat.) Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep skillet. Brown the beef cubes in the oil, until there is no pink on the outside. Pour 3 quarts (12 cups) water into a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt, and then add the browned beef cubes. Cook, uncovered, over low heat for about 3 hours. Most of the liquid will evaporate or be absorbed by the meat. (you might want to check the meat while it is cooking, to make sure it doesn’t boil dry …
