How to Make Healthy French Fries Using Turnips
| January 17, 2010 | Posted by admin under Children's Health, Exercise, Natural Cleaning Products, Nutrition, Recipes, Stress Relief, Supplements, Uncategorized |
I just never dreamed I would try this, but since we’ve been adding more fresh, local vegetables to our dietswe needed an idea for turnips. Frank Mason of the Bluebird Market suggested we try Turnip Fries. Since my husband (AKA Pizza Doctor) is the main cook in our home, he got the recipe and tried it out. I was skeptical, but once I tried them…I was impressed.
We recently had a “Fresh and Local” dinner party and served them.
Pizza Doctor’s Recipe for Turnip Fries
Turnip Fries are doctored up from potatoes for a healthy alternative by the Pizza Doctor.
4 turnip roots, cut into strips (skins on)
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
seasoning (chipotle powder, paprika, pepper, and sea salt)
Wash turnips well. Slice and then cut slices into thin strips in the manner of a French Fried potato. Toss in extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and other seasonings of choice. Pan sear and gently stir fry over medium heat until the turnip is cooked through and soft. If you would like turnip fries crispy on the outside, just before removing from the pan, turn up the heat and stir as they brown. Season with your favorite seasonings. Optional: Serve with Crystal hot sauce or Heinz Ketchup.
Health Benefits of Turnips
From EveryNutrient.com
Turnips are a “starch” vegetable, but provide only one third the amount of calories as
an equal amount of potatoes. Turnips provide an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber,
folic acid, manganese, pantothenic acid, and copper.

New Study Says Take a Vacation: Lower Blood Pressure and Stress Hormones and Experience Fat Loss by Having Fun!
| October 16, 2009 | Posted by admin under Stress Relief |
The Wellness Lady has been away from her blog. Stress!!! Had some Back and Neck Problems leading to ER visits and well…..I knew it was time for a vacation! Breathing the fresh air on the beach….. Now, I don’t need a study to tell me The Health Benefits of a Weekend Getaway, but apparently there is a study that proves not only will you get stress relief, but you will experience fat loss. (Due to the lowering of the stress hormones, of course..and eating healthy, not junk food.)
I took a week off the computer (went through withdrawal the first night…but then did fine.) I’m plugged back in now. Glad to see you all!
Enjoy my pictures and imagine you are there! We had a wonderful time eating healthy foods and visiting with friends we hadn’t seen in years.
Read and print the following article to convince your boss or spouse that you need to take a vacation.
