Kidney disease is a relatively common problem in senior cats. Especially with the ever-increasing number of preservatives in some foods. As we love our pets, we always want the best for them and don’t want them to be in pain or suffer. A number of people asking for help in choosing the best product to help their cat over the past year. In this article, we will be answering the question what is the best cat food for kidney disease?
We have decided to do some research in the hope of helping our readers, and their beloved pet cats. We will be covering three different cat foods that have been designed to assist with your cat’s kidney problems. Adding any of these to your cat’s regular feeding routing can help reduce the strain on your cat’s kidneys.
Hill’s Prescription Diet k/d Feline Renal Health – The Best Cat Food For Kidney Disease On The Market
First up in our hunt for the best cat food for kidney disease, we have the Hill’s Prescription cat food. Designed from the ground up to assist with your cat’s kidney health, this has to be our best choice. Due to its efficiency, this meal may require a veterinary prescription depending on the retailer. That said, sites such as amazon.com sell it without such requirement.
Unfortunately, kidney disease is usually irreversible leaving your cat to continue with its life with the condition. This cat food has been clinically tested to ensure it is perfect to help increase your cats quality of life. It has a lower protein content than usual to help reduce your cat’s kidney workload and reduce any pain. This food is not recommended for a cat without kidney disease as they will require higher protein content.
Although available in a number of different flavors, the vegetables and tuna stew has proven very popular. Multiple cat owners have reported their pets loving the meal and it helps with their kidney health. Although prices change depending on stocking levels, bargains can be found around Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Question – Do these come in a variety pack or is it only the selected flavor?
Answer – At this time, it is only the flavor that you select.
Question – How many cans of food are in each order?
Answer – Always double check with the supplier but it is currently 36 cans of food per slab.
Question – Where is this cat food produced?
Answer – This cat food is made in a factory in Topeka, Kansas.
As with all products that we recommend to our readers, we always like to share some third-party, independent reports from other cat owners. These cat owners are either currently or have recently used Hill’s Prescription Diet k/d Feline Renal Health on their cats.
- This report comments on how Hill’s Prescription Diet k/d Feline Renal Health was actually recommended to them by their local veterinarian to help with their cat’s condition.
- This report comments on how their cat eats all of their serving of Hill’s Prescription Diet k/d Feline Renal Health and leaves nothing behind.
- This report comments on how their local veterinarian also recommended Hill’s Prescription Diet k/d Feline Renal Health to help with their cat’s kidney disease. They go on to comment it has all the required macronutrients required for their cat’s condition and how their cat loves the taste of the food.
The image below shows the full ingredients list for Hill’s Prescription Diet k/d Feline Renal Health.
Purina NF Kidney Function Cat Food – The Second Best Cat Food For Kidney Disease
The next offering in our list is from Purina, an extremely well-known brand with an outstanding reputation. Billed as the choice for veterinarians, it had to be included in the best cat food for kidney disease list.
Purina has reduced all unrequired products from the food to minimize the load on your cat’s kidneys. It is blended into a smooth easy to consume pate for your cat for easy and quick consumption. As you would expect, it has a lower protein content to make it easier for your cat to process. All of this together in one meal offers an excellent source of nutrition for your cat with kidney disease.
Multiple cat owners have reported this as being their go-to cat food for cats with renal failure. There have been reports of cats enjoying the meal while having a higher standard of life while on the feed. Also popular for cats with urinary tract problems, you can’t go wrong with this offering from Purina.
Although you can get this food in both dry and wet food variants, we recommend that you pick up the wet version. Most cats with kidney disease are elderly and may also have jaw problems meaning dry food can be hard to consume. If you do choose the dry food then you can add warm water to the mix to soften it and make it easier to consume.
Rather than being available in a number of flavors like other offerings Purina offer this in only one. This is to reduce the number of added flavors and preservatives and give your cats kidneys an easier time.
Question – Is this pate, puree or chunky cat food?
Answer – Purina NF Kidney Function Cat Food is a pate type food.
Question – Where is this food produced?
Answer – Purina NF Kidney Function Cat Food is produced in Missouri, USA.
Question – Is this ok to feed a cat without kidney issues?
Answer – We would recommend that you use a regular cat food as the micronutrients in Purina NF Kidney Function Cat Food have been optimized for kidney issues.
- This report comments on how their fourteen-year-old cat was fed Purina NF Kidney Function Cat Food due to health reasons. Their cat soon took to it and started to gobble the food down.
The image below shows the full nutritional profile for this cat food.
Hill’s Prescription Diet k/d Dry Food – An Alternative For The Best Cat Food For Kidney Disease
The final product is again from Hill’s Prescription but this time it is a dry food rather than our initial wet food offering. As we have already mentioned, most senior cats with kidney disease will probably prefer a wet cat food. If you do want to go with this dry cat food then you can add warm water or broth to help your cat eat it.
Like the wet variant, this is also lower in protein to help take the load off your pet’s kidneys. Packed with vitamins and minerals we had to include this as a possible best cat food for kidney disease. Multiple cat owners have reported their pet enjoying the food and it helps with their kidney issues. Particular care has been taken to reduce the phosphorus content to also help your cat. Although it does include sodium, it is the lowest possible amount to help preserve the food.
Additional omega three fatty acids have been added to the food mix to help with kidney health. The levels of B vitamins have also been increased to offer an excellent meal for a cat with kidney disease.
We hope that these three suggestions for the best cat food for kidney disease will help you. Rather than having to research the products from scratch yourself, you can research the above three. We also recommend that you shop around in an attempt to find the best price possible as prices do vary between retailers.
All of our suggested products have excellent reviews and feedback from cat owners feeding them to their cats. All three also come highly recommended for cats with kidney disease by veterinarians to offer your cat the very best. If your cat begins to deteriorate once transitioning to these products, go back to your old cat food and seek advice from a veterinarian.
Additional food supplements are also available that may help a cat with kidney disease. We do plan to publish an article covering these in the future but these are supplements, not meals. A number of liquid lickable foods have also entered the market that we intend to research in the near future.

CAMPING MEAL IDEAS
Food preparation whilst camping can seem like a daunting thing to do, but with a little planning before you go you can prepare amazing meals like you do at home fuss free and not have to resort to the old basics like soup in a can!
Back to basic cooking while camping is also the perfect opportunity to let your little legends join in helping and learning the basics of cooking, the kids will love it! Don’t be afraid to let them get in an help you, with supervision you can all have a great time and it gives the kids a sense of pride eating the food they make and seeing others enjoy it too.
Before leaving you need to plan your food, and to help with that you need to establish how you are going to be able to cook? Are you taking a gas cooker, will you be using camp kitchens provided (normally BBQ hotplates) or are you cooking by fire? Once you establish what you can cook with, the planning can begin!
Plan each meal and write your shopping list accordingly and once home if you have the time and space to prepare some food we highly recommend it. We like to pre boil eggs and cut carrots and store in a containers. These are easy ways to create accessible healthy snacks for the kids so they always have something to grab. With a little preparation before you leave can also make more time for relaxing and less time cooking!
Breakfast Most is arguably the most important meal of the day so get those little legends tummy’s full for a full day of action and adventure!
Overnight oats - prepare the night before in jars and by the morning the will be delish!
Pancakes - The kids will love you for it! Buy one of the easy ready to go shakers from the supermarket or make your own recipe at home and bring in a zip lock bag! Serve with fresh fruit, yogurt, coulis and maple syrup.
Bacon & Eggs
Cereals / Oats - Oats are super quick, easy and filling for the kids! Put portion size into a heat proof bowl and cover just over the top of it with boiling water. Let the water soak in for 5-10 minutes and they are ready.
Breakfast Burritos - Opportunities are endless when it comes to what you can add to breakfast burritos. Use your favourite wraps and add - Bacon, eggs (fried/scrambled), spinach, beans, chorizo, avocado, feta, onion, chutney, salami, chickpeas - go wild with it!
One pan loaded omelette - A perfect share meal with each other! Add your favourite’s like bacon, onion, mushrooms, chorizo etc to the pan and cook, then add your beaten eggs! Add on extras like cherry tomatoes, danish feta, cheddar cheese, spinach and serve from the pan.
⦁ Cut up fruit and vegetables with dip/hummus
⦁ Cheese and crackers
⦁ Tuna portions
⦁ Protein bars
⦁ Boiled Eggs
⦁ Natural Popcorn
Lunch - Anything quick and easy works a treat while the kids are too busy on the go!
Wraps - Grated vegetables, sliced meats like ham, cooked chicken and dressing on your favourite wraps! On longer trips we would make our lunch wraps ahead of time (using fillings like ham and cheese, and chicken mayo and chopped spinach) and take them out of the camping freezer each morning and they were ready by lunch! (FYI They didn’t last much longer than a week!)
Sammie’s - with your usual fillings or if you have a jaffle iron why not try them toasted!
Ready to eat tuna & rice (or quinoa) pots - Super quick, easy and healthy!
Family Favourite Dinners
Taco station - as you will see from all of our dinner ideas, we are a Mexican loving family! Cook your meat of choice in the pan (Chicken, mince etc) and serve up with taco favourites and everyone can create their own! Try - Diced lettuce, onion, grates cheese, avocado, grated carrots, cucumber, beans, greek yoghurt, sour cream.
Burritos- Using your favourite wraps, create your own burritos! If you have an open fire wrap them in foil and toast them a little bit, watch out they don't burn.
Nacho’s - Crowd favourite, prep your mince like normal and serve with corn chips, avocado, jalapenos, sweet corn, salsa, beans, cheese and sour cream. If you have a cast iron pan, turn it into a share plate and build up the nachos in the pan, sprinkle with cheese and cover with foil to melt.
Meats and Salad - Pan fried fish portions or Steak, chicken kebabs, sausages all the BBQ favourites with a side salad.
Burger Bar - Cut open the buns, cook your patties and line up all your toppings for a help yourself burger bar, camping style! Some of the extras you could have - sliced cheese, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickles, beetroot, chutney's, onion, grated carrot, eggs.
Spaghetti Bolognese - not many would turn down a classic like this! We like to pre-cook ours into portions before we leave and add some wholemeal pasta or spaghetti on the night,or you can cook it as you go.
A Classic favourite, Baked Potato (or in our case Sweet Potato) wrapped in foil and put on the fire. Once they are cooked you can load them up with all the juicy extras like: cooked mince, tuna, grated cheese, avocado, greek yogurt, refried beans and salsa - use your imagination!
Pasta and sauce - Simple and easy for a quick meal. Make your pasta as usual and add a store brought sauce to flavour and sprinkle with cheese. If you have time to make your own sauce before you leave, have a try at making your own sauce with loads of vegetables in it and the kids get all their veggies they need without even knowing.
Camp oven Roast - If you have a Dutch Oven and an open fire have a go at making your own Roast with vegetables. It is a labour of love and definitely learning from trial and error, but get it right and you will be enjoying an incredible roast meal under star light.
Antipasto platters - Cheese, crackers, sliced meats, olives, stuffed peppers, grilled vegetables, nuts, dip and breads.
Old Favourite Treats
⦁ Tinned spaghetti or baked beans
⦁ 2 minute pot noodles
Have a Fridge/ Freezer?
Space saving is so important when you are using a fridge or fridge freezer, especially if you are camping for extended periods of time. On a recent long trip we prepared our food and using a vacuum sealer we froze our meal portions laying flat and stacked them up in the freezer, a good 2 weeks worth of meals for 4 fit in the freezer along with a few extra treats like ice cream for after the little legends had gone to bed!

Most consumers know goji as a dried berry coming from China, what they may not know is that goji berry can be consumed fresh just like blueberries and raspberries. Our varieties of goji have a very pleasant sweet and acid. They can be consumed fresh as a dessert and in smoothies or it can be cooked in a variety of dishes and pizzas. Goji berry was historically grown in china where it's considered as a medicine used by the TCM to treat many illnesses. It has the highest antioxidants level of all fruits and vegetables. China does not exports its goji berry fresh but only in the dry form. Fresh goji berries conserve better their antioxidants and nutrients and have a very nice sweet taste appreciated by adults and children alike.
Our fresh goji is handpicked at maturity and put directly into a punnet with delicate care before it's sent to the packhouse where it will be rapidly cooled to remove the field heat. This guarantees the product freshness so it can reach its destination in the best possible form.
The shelf life of our fresh goji is generally similar to that of other soft fruits. By using air cargo, Gojibell is able to serve many of its customers on a weekly basis with the best quality possible. We are able to ship an order with a few days notice and have it delivered to our customers the next day after harvest. This service allows our fresh goji berries to have an even longer shelf life with conserved freshness.
Fresh goji berries are packed in 100-125g punnets for the fresh market but we can package our goji in any form needed by our industrial clients. We can also do private labels for our customers. We pack our goji in our own ECOCERT certified packhouse and we supervise the complete process with a vigorous Quality Control system.
Our fresh goji berries are harvested from mid June to the end of October.
Due to our proximity, we can ship anywhere in Europe within 1-3 days by refrigerated trucks. With its geographic location, infrastructure and trade agreements with Europe, Morocco has become fully integrated in the supply chain of fresh berries for all European markets.

Following the philosophy of Rudolph Steiner, biodynamic wines have been gaining more popularity in recent years. But what is it actually? Is that true that biodynamic farming brings more flavor to wines. Find out with us today!
Biodynamic wine is produced from grapes grown through biodynamic principles. This is when the land is seen as part of the planet and solar system, and the vineyard isn’t seen as an isolated piece of land, engineered for the sole purpose of growing grapes.
Despite still making up a small percentage of wineries in the world, the popularity of biodynamic wine is rising. In March 2018, there were over 600 wineries worldwide that had vineyards which held bio-dynamic status.
So you may ask 'Is biodynamic wine the same as organic wine?'
Yes and No.
Yes, biodynamic wines are basically organic wine as they use the same organically grown grapes. They both prevent the use of synthetic herbicide and pesticides in the vineyard. However, n organic wine production, there are a number of added sulphites and extra yeast compound winemakers can add to the wine.
This is not to say the biodynamic wine is better or organic one is worse. Quite the contrary. Organic wine has considerably less preservatives and added extras than conventional wine. So we would encourage you to drink more organic as there are considerable health benefits to organic wine.
It just means that biodynamic goes a step further than organic farming. Bio-dynamic farming principles mean that winemakers can’t add any synthetic agents in the grape growing process but also states that in the wine-making process, they can’t add foreign agents like extra yeast or acid. This ensures that the wine is a true representation of the vineyard.

The Hurom Juicer HU-100 is also known as the Oscar 930 pro-juicer. This model is unique in that it is a slow juicer. Through the slow speed it manages to hold onto many more of the nutrients of the fruit and vegetables then its high speed counterparts do.
The Hurom mimics mastication when it juices the fruit and vegetables. Mastication is chewing, this means it mimics the manner in which the human mouth breaks down food. The low speed masticating product in this manner manages to preserve more nutrients, enzymes and vitamins then the standard high speed centrifugal juicers may do.
Human beings are supposed to get 8 portions of fresh fruit and vegetables daily for optimum health. This is quite difficult to do with modern diets. This lack of fresh fruit and vegetables is resulting in a number of serious life style diseases like diabetes and cancers. Lifestyle related diseases are in fact killing a worrying number of people across the globe.
Human beings require around 8 portions of fruit and vegetables for optimal health. This is not so easy to do. Fresh juices can help with this dilemma. You can concentrate a few portions into a single juice. If you drink your juice fresh the health benefits are almost as good as if you have eaten the fruit and vegetables. Among the many health benefits of fresh juices is weight loss, reduced blood pressure and strengthened immune system. These alone can make drinking fresh juice regularly totally worth it.
As the word masticating suggests, these juicers use a slower and mechanical process to grind up the fruits and vegetables. This motion grinds it up to a fine pulp ideal for juicing. This type of juicer is great for leafy greens like wheatgrass. It is also very useful for grinding nuts and seeds into pastes and butters.
The downside of this product is that it is not great for juicing fruits. It is much more effective at juicing the more fibrous cell walls of vegetables. If you are going to primarily make fruit juices then a centrifugal one may be a better option.
What makes the mastication process superior from a nutritional point of view is that it does not allow as much oxygen into the juice. Oxygen causes oxidation of vitamins and minerals. You can see oxidation of your fruits and vegetables everyday. For instance when your peeled apple begins to brown, this is oxidation in action. Oxidation speeds up the breakdown of the vitamins and minerals. Oxidation is also why you it is best to drink your juice fresh out the juicer. The longer it is exposed to air the few nutrients are left. A juice that has been made from the masticating process contains more nutrients to begin with.
The masticating juicer is a better option from the nutritional point of view but not where convenience is concerned. It does not juice all fruit and vegetables equally, but works better on vegetables. These also tend to be made up of many more complex parts and therefore more difficult to clean then the centrifugal options. They are also heavier and take up more space.
It is necessary to know what you are looking for before you choose which juicer is best for you. If you are more interested in nutrient rich vegetable juices then the Hurom Juicer HU-100 is ideal. For the lighter fruit juices best to look for a good centrifugal option.

Tassimo Coffee Maker Review
Tassimo coffee maker for the best coffee
I am a coffee connoisseur: an expert judge on how to brew the best tasting cup of fresh coffee!
If you are looking for a Tassimo coffee maker you could very well be wondering how you can make a decision what to choose? There are so many different models and brands of coffee machine available, so how do you decide on the best one for your needs and budget, at the best price?
This Tassimo Coffee Maker review gives you the opportunity to compare features and costs so that you can find the best coffee maker for your requirements and budget.
First off, there is a big difference between a standard “coffee maker” and a Tassimo Coffee Machine! The difference is like day and night. There are many other brands of coffee machines on the market so it can be confusing.
All I can say is, in my experience, you cannot go wrong with one of the coffee makers from the impressive range of Tassimo coffee machines so take your time choosing the model for your needs.
The Tassimo Coffee maker has been manufactured and distributed by Bosch since 2008. Up till that date, Braun also marketed their branded Tassimo coffee machines which used the same superior coffee making system. After a company merger, Braun coffee machines were replaced by the new models of the Bosch Tassimo Coffee makers. Bosch coffee makers are now considered the market leaders in automatic home coffee makers.
Anybody who knows their coffee, like me, would not choose anything else but a Bosch Tassimo Coffee Maker.
I don’t think you can beat the deals which you will find at Amazon and Argos when you are looking for a Tassimo coffee maker – these are amazing prices.
The Tassimo Coffee Maker – the Rolls Royce of coffee makers!
These are what to look for in a good coffee maker:
- Models are priced from £65
- All Tassimo Coffee Makers brew a divine cup of steaming coffee in under one minute (yes, 1 minute!)
- No mess to clean up after brewing your favorite beverage. The T disks, containing the coffee, hot chocolate, tea and milk are thrown away.
- The Tassimo Coffee Maker can also brew tea, hot chocolate and many different types of coffee.
- Every Tassimo Coffee Machine model has different features unique that model.

Did My Tassimo Pod Holder Save My Sanity?
If you have a Tassimo pod holder then you will already know how useful they are?
I struggled for almost a year without a Tassimo pod holder and it was a real pain and very stressful too. We used to store the Tassimo coffee pods in one of the kitchen drawers. That was not a wise move!
I reckon now is the time to give you a bit of history and explain what I’m talking about here?
My partner likes Cappucino coffee and so do I. I reckon we go through at least 4 or 5 pods a day during the working week and a lot more over the weekends. We always “presume” that we have enough coffee pods in the kitchen drawer.
How wrong we were – never presume anything I say!
Our New Tassimo Pod Holder Averted A Major Crisis
Yea, you guessed it… invariably we had plenty of other Tassimo coffee pods except for our favorite – the Cappucino coffee had been all used up! Panic…
This is so annoying – imagine, you are all geared up to enjoy a hot steaming mug of your favorite coffee and then find out that you don’t have any coffee!
That is a BIG disappointment, let me tell you!
Eventually, after too many arguments (my partner accusing me of not buying enough coffee and me saying the same thing!) we eventually decided that we had to be more efficient and I bought a Tassimo pod holder.
What an improvement! I wish we had done this months ago.
We’ve found having a Tassimo pod holder really great – in fact, we ended up buying two so we have plenty of storage place for our wide range of Tassimo coffee pods. We have the Tassimo pod holder on our kitchen counter top so we can easily see when our stocks of Tassimo coffee pods are going down and we need to restock. It all equals much less stress…
If you are looking at getting yourself a Tassimo coffee maker then do yourself (and your partner) a favor and also get a Tassimo pod holder at the same time. I highly recommend this for the sake of peace and quiet and efficiency. I reckon you can start with one Tassimo pod holder and if you find it helpful then get another later if necessary.
There are plenty of great designs with different storage capacity. We went for the standard rotating Tassimo pod holder which stores 48 Tassimo coffee pods.
Tassimo Pod Holder Recommended for Peace and Quiet
There is no doubt that for us having a Tassimo pod holder has helped improve our relationship.
Yea, yea, I know you will say “that is ridiculous” but having a pod holder has helped prevent a few unnecessary arguments for us so we’re happy!
Maybe you and your partner don’t argue much but why risk it, I say?
Buy Tassimo T Disc for easy coffee brewing
Need to buy Tassimo T Disc supplies for your new Tassimo coffee maker?
Then read this information below. It will be helpful to anybody who has just bought a new Tassimo coffee maker and is not sure how the Tassimo coffee brewing system works.
First off, here is a little tip for you…
Tip: Planning to sell your home? Brew up fresh coffee in your Tassimo coffee maker whenever you have viewers coming round to look at your house. The delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee will provide a welcoming, homely atmosphere which will help to sell your house!
I hope this little tip is helpful, even if you don’t need to use it now. (I particularly think it’s worth remembering in today’s slow property market.)
To achieve this you obviously need a good coffee maker; that is why I recommend the Tassimo coffee maker and Tassimo T Discs. These do make brewing your favourite cup of coffee a real breeze.
Buy Tassimo T Disc in 35 varieties:
There are 35 varieties of T Disc available, the T Disc name is short for Tassimo Disc. These Tassimo coffee pods will fit both Bosch and Braun Tassimo coffee machines.
Tassimo coffee pods come in delicious flavours: a range of different Carte Noire coffees, Kenco coffees and Costa coffees. There are also a wide range of Twinings teas and Suchard hot chocolate drinks.
When you need to buy Tassimo T Disc stocks it’s worth remembering that they are sometimes called Tassimo coffee pods – both are the same clever little coffee disc.
If you’re worried that you’ll have to clean the Tassimo coffee maker if you are brewing tea and then coffee, for example, the answer is no you don’t have to do this. There is no contamination of the brewing mechanism during the brew cycle. If you enjoy extra strong coffee you can customise the brew mode. The same works if you prefer a coffee which is not so strong. This is a great option when you have a groups with different strength preferences.
Buy Tassimo T Disc supplies
You can buy Tassimo coffee pods from many retailers, however, I have found that Amazon are one of the best for price and service.
As you will already know Argos has branches all around the country so they are worth checking out because they carry a wide range of T Discs with options for purchasing these online and then collecting in the store which will save on delivery costs.
I recommend you shop around when you need to buy more Tassimo coffee pods because other retailers also have different offers going, which may be better than the retailers I mention here.
Where ever you buy Tassimo T Disc stocks from is not important, rest assured that all T Discs are manufactured to the same high standard by Kraft Foods so you will always enjoy delicious coffees and other hot drinks so kick back, relax and enjoy!
Tassimo Coffee Pods For The Perfect Cup
Tassimo coffee pods (or T Discs as they are more commonly known) are sometimes misunderstood. Some coffee lovers are not sure how T Discs can give a delicious hot drink, cup after cup, day in and day out.
If you are one of those people who don’t know how these smart discs work then have a look at the information I have put together below. If will help you to decide if coffee brewing using this method is right for you:
How Do Tassimo Coffee Pods Work?
Tassimo coffee pods are a mini brewing chamber containing just the right amount of coffee or tea to brew the perfect cuppa. The Tassimo coffee maker contains a clever bar code system which automatically brews a cup of coffee using the correct measurement of ground coffee. This means you will never be disappointed by a weak cup of coffee or tea.
What Flavours Of Tassimo T Discs Are There?
A wide variety of hot drinks are brewed using Tassimo coffee pods: espresso, different flavours of coffee, cafe crfema, hot chocolate, tea and frothed milk. In total there are 35 varieties of hot drinks which can be brewed in Tassimo coffee makers.
The huge range of Tassimo coffee pods are available such as Costa coffees, Carte Noire coffees and Kenco coffees. T Discs also brew great hot chocolate and teas using Suchard hot chocolate and Twinings teas.
Can Tassimo Coffee Pods Be Recycled?
Yes, a free collection and recycling scheme is available through Terracycle. This scheme has stopped thousands of Tassimo coffee pods from being thrown into rubbish dumps. This makes Tassimo coffee makers an environmentally friendly method of brewing your favourite cup of coffee. Click here for more information on how you can recycle your Tassimo coffee pods.
How To Buy Tassimo Coffee Pods?
Tassimo coffee pods are widely available from many well known high street retailers. However, there can be a huge difference in the price. In my opinion, you can’t beat buying your T Discs from Amazon, which often comes with free postage and packing as standard.
More Information On Tassimo Coffee Pods:
- Tassimo coffee pods will fit any of the Tassimo coffee makers which includes the Bosch Tassimo coffee maker or Braun machines. (However, the larger milk discs are not meant to be used in Tassimo coffee machines.)
- Tassimo coffee pods do not have to be stored in the fridge. Cool dry storage is advised. If you have opened the external packaging then I recommend you use your T Disc within 6 weeks. Meanwhile, if you love coffee then I don’t see you having a problem drinking your delicious Tassimo coffee beverages within this period!
- Tassimo coffee pods cannot be reused. After you have brewed a drink then you need to throw your used Tassimo coffee pods into your recycling container for collection by Terracycling (please see above).
- There is no need to clean your Tassimo coffee maker before changing to a different flavoured drink e.g. you can make a cup of tea immediately after brewing a cup of expresso coffee in your Tassimo coffee maker. This is because each Tassimo T Discs are sealed and do not contaminate any part of the coffee machine.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Bosch TAS4013GB Tassimo Coffee Maker,Red (Kitchen & Home)
Luckily got this coffee/tea/chocolate machine for £79.95 with free shipping, at the time it was £10.00 cheaper than Tesco Direct.
The machine is quality built and really presents you with a superb drink of your choice and in double quick time too. Easy to keep clean and to use.
Some would probably think that drinks made this way are expensive, I do think they would have a point. However, if it’s a good tasting drink made quickly and without fuss you are looking for then this is for you.
Do take the cost of the ‘discs’ (obtainable at any big supermarket…Asda/Tesco’s etc)into consideration before you take the plunge.
Overall, a nice item of ‘luxury’.
Coffee, tea or hot chocolate is brewed in under a minute, there is no mess and no waste – you drink what is brewed – no dregs to throw away from the bottom of the pot.
You will experience pure pleasure, a cup at a time, every time!
With your new Tassimo coffee maker it’s “Goodbye” to disappointing cups of coffee and “Hello” to regular doses of coffee pleasure!

Coffee reverses Alzheimers
A scientific report says coffee reverses Alzheimers and gives good reasons for brewing plenty of delicious coffee
Your Tassimo coffee maker can be put to good use to keep your mind alert.
Enjoy a great drink and know that this may benefit you because your cup of coffee reverses Alzheimers according to scientists.
There is very promising evidence that drinking 5 cups of coffee reverses Alzheimers memory problems.
This is an interesting report from US scientists in which they say caffeine hampers the protein plaques found in Alzheimers sufferers.
The evidence also suggests that caffeine might actually protect against Alzheimers developing in non-sufferers.
Up until now, scientists thought that Alzheimer sufferers could not reverse memory damage from the disease. However, the report suggests that this is not true – there is a certain amount of memory recovery when those with Alzheimers drink at least 5 cups of coffee a day.
Caffeine is safe
Caffeine is, most importantly, a very safe drug for people to take - it enters the brain quickly and the effects of caffeine consumption is quickly felt.
The report warns that people with high blood pressure or pregnant women should not consume that much coffee so this treatment is not recommended for those people.
It’s still early days but the report is promising.
Watch this space…as soon as I find further reports on this study I will report on them here on Tassimo coffee maker review.
If this interests you go and check out the best prices on a Tassimo coffee maker to suit your needs! – I definately like the sounds of this report that coffee reverses Alzheimers.

First, the bill puts the control over the nation's food supply at the hand of the nations' largest government bureaucracies - the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); Department of Homeland Security (DHS); and the Department of Defense (DOD). Too put in context, as quoted by an excellent article at American Thinker, S.510:
It is a dangerously broad regulatory bill giving extensive discretionary power to the FDA over the entire food supply chain without proper checks and balances to avoid abuse of power;
It would impose one-size-fits-all-regulations on thousands of small and mid-sized farmers, small-scale local farms and food producers, and would drastically burden, to extinction, basic natural and organic food suppliers, thus endangering the lives of Americans who depend on local wholesome foods;
And if you think you can have a home garden, or buy your favorite produce at the local farmstead, think again:
If accepted [S 510] would preclude the public's right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one's choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God.
Now that the bad news has been spilled, it get's even worse. The Senate passed S.510 on bipartisan support 74-26 with seven out of 12 being Republican co-sponsors. Delaware's two Senators - Carper (D-DE) and newly installed Coons (D-DE) supported the bill, which could be a death knell to Delaware's agriculture industry.


I’m trying to soak up every last bit of summer that I can before Fall comes. The sweet people from Arctic Zero helped make that possible by sending me the best care package pf their newest fit & frozen dessert flavors. This ice cream is the perfect fit dessert for summer time, or anytime if you love ice cream as much as I do. You can actually eat the whole pint without feeling guilty afterwards. The entire pint has the same amount of calories that a 1/2 cup of normal ice cream has. This treat allows you to treat yourself while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
We recently enjoyed the Cake Batter (at only 150 calories per pint!) and made some party cake sundaes. It’s as simple as scooping the ice cream and adding whip cream, rainbow sprinkles, and a cherry on top. We wanted to keep this one simple, but you can get creative and add your favorite toppings or enjoy the dessert by itself. All of these new flavors are seriously delicious, there wasn’t one that I didn’t like. My personal favorites have to be the Cake Batter and Brownie Blast. Yum. My husband said his top choice is the Banana Pudding. For the Banana Pudding flavor we drizzled some Nutella and peanut butter over it. So good.
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about my Summer Bucket List Inspiration, and I thought I’d give you an update on what I have done from it so far.

I’d say my list was overall successful.
Summer Bucket List:
Visit an amusement park
Go on a nature hike See a baseball game Have a picnic Go on date nights
Check out an art exhibit
Visit a beach
Take a road trip Eat ice cream Attend a local summer bazaar
Go to the zoo
Spend time at the lake
Pick fresh fruit
Have a cookout with friends/family

PPDC recently organised a major event at which producers were presented with the premium paid to them for their certified cocoa.
Latest audits in fall 2008: 2,039 cocoa farmers now certified!
Download the latest information on the outcome of the PPDC evaluation report.
Improving the well-being of cocoa farmers
PPDC – Projet de Production Durable de Cacao Certifié – Market Oriented Promotion of Certified Sustainbable Cocoa Production
The PPDC project was an alliance of public and private-sector partners that aimed to improve the well-being of smallholder cocoa farmers in Côte d'Ivoire. The project encouraged the production of quality cocoa through the application of sustainable agricultural practices according to an internationally accepted standard (the Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard). Farmers could raise their income, professionalize their farm management, improve health and education of their families and workers and protect the environment.
The private-sector partners were Kraft Foods, one of the world's largest food and beverage companies, and Armajaro Trading Limited, a cocoa and coffee trading company. The public-sector partners were the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
The local project management worked jointly with the Ivorian national extension service, Agence Nationale d'Appui au Développement Rural (ANADER), and the Sustainable Tree Crops Program (STCP) of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria.
The project ended in March 2009 and was a big success: Almost 6000 farmers were trained and almost 6000 tons of cocoa certified, for which the farmers received a total of 1,2 million US$ as price premiums.


Many people enjoy seafood. In addition to being tasty, seafood is also highly nutritious. If you are looking forward to enjoying tasty and quality seafood, and you do not have a clue on how to prepare seafood dishes, you can opt to find a hotel that is known for serving good seafood. The number of restaurants serving seafood has increased considerably. In this case, finding good restaurants can be difficult.Your dining experience will greatly depend on the kind of restaurant you choose. Therefore, it is recommendable to find a restaurant that is known for delivering quality service.To make sure that you find a good seafood restaurant, there are certain factors you will have to consider. Mentioned below, are some of the things you will have to pay attention to.
The Type of Seafood Served
The most important thing to consider before choosing a seafood restaurant is the type of food they serve. The type of seafood dishes served tend to differ from one seafood restaurant to another. You may, for instance, come across restaurants that specialize in serving crab meat and others that specialize in serving lobsters.In this case, it is advisable to verify the kind of seafood dishes are restaurant serves.Make sure that you choose a restaurant whose seafood menu consists of the kind of seafood you want. For example, if you like lobsters, you should choose a hotel that specializes in serving lobster dishes. Prevalently, seafood restaurants tend to list the type of seafood dishes they offer, on their website pages.Therefore, you can browse through different restaurants, and choose one that has the kind of dishes you want to try out.
A Seafood Restaurant’s Hygiene
Many people succumb to different types of illnesses, which result from eating contaminated food. For you to secure your well-being, you ought to pay close attention to the levels of hygiene a restaurant observes.Does a restaurant have dirty tables? Does a restaurant have dirty bathrooms and floors? Are the staff working in the restaurant clean? Do not choose a restaurant whose tables, floors, washrooms, and workers appear to be unhygienic.A restaurant that fails to observe proper hygiene is more likely to serve poor-quality and contaminated seafood dishes, which might jeopardize your health. The restaurant you choose should have well cleaned bathrooms, floors, and kempt workers. Cleanliness is an indicator that a restaurant values the health of their patrons.
Think About Entertainment
Many people long to enjoy a meal in a restaurant that not only serves quality food but also provides quality entertainment. If you are also longing for this, you will need to think about the type of entertainment a restaurant provides. Choose a restaurant that provides the kind of entertainment you want. If you, for example, want to enjoy a meal while watching a movie, you can choose a restaurant that has a high-quality television, which is visible.


I don’t want to steal Mr. Bradley’s thunder, so, I’m just gonna highly encourage you all to check it out. Make sure you aren’t drinking any hot liquids. It’s that hilarious.
When we first arrived in Tokyo, I started taking cooking classes. Specifically, Vegan Japanese cooking which has subsequently led to Vegan Indian cooking. My eyes were suddenly open to the world of satisfying, flavorful vegan dishes. Being the primary cook in our home, I soon declared, “You! Carnivores! From now on, we will have at least 1 vegetarian meal a WEEK!” They groaned and moaned, but no one else was volunteering for the primary cook position.
I’ve been deeply entrenched in the Omnivore’s Dilemma (aka Satanic Verses according to Cliff) and it has re-ignited my feelings about the industrial food system in America. After a few chapters, I made another declaration and announced, “You! Omnivores! We will from hence forth, eat salad every other day and intersperse fish & meat dishes on the other!” Meatless Monday had arrived. Cliff and I had many heated discussions regarding Pastured Animals and I could tell Chase was ripe for picking. I knew then, I needed to get out the big guns. I rented Forks Over Knives:
After watching Forks Over Knives (speaking of Chase & myself only, Cliff fell asleep), I informed Cliff I was no longer buying milk for consumption “because it isn’t natural” but, I would buy it for him and cooking purposes. Judging from the whites of Cliff’s eyeballs and his comments, I know he thinks I’ve gone all Nick Nolte on him.
I don’t want to substitute real food for capsules, powdered shakes and tablets! I love food. But I want to have good food for myself and my family. Moving back to the land of the Golden Arches, I am determined to do my best to support this lifestyle change and “opt out” of the industrialized food system as much as possible. Living in Japan, I have tasted and benefitted from eating fresh produce which has been driven to me and not flown. In Japan, my family eats meat that is pastured, properly massaged and kept inebriated, as opposed to mutilated and abused. I looked into farmers markets around Sandy Springs, Georgia, but they are a mixed bag and as I recall, seem to be more about buying beaded jewelry than an assortment of fresh produce.
Then I came across Nature’s Garden Delivered. This is an organic food delivery service that will deliver Organic/Natural/Local goods right to your door! They won’t deliver goods from anywhere farther than one day’s drive. The Yelp! reviews for NGD are terrific so I am definitely planning to sign up as soon as we get settled in.
I know I may seem a bit nutty for all of this. Change is always perceived as insanity in the beginning. Not so long ago, I was begging for 1 vegetarian meal a week. Now, we have “Meat Meals” once or twice a week. But then I reflect: It wasn’t so long ago when having meat at the table signified a special evening. When everyone didn’t seem so fat. When kids didn’t have to stand in line to take their meds at lunch. When cows ate grass. These are the simple things that get swept away in the world’s attempts to make things easier but in the end they only complicate and make matters worse. I never expected living in Tokyo, I’d experience a simpler way of life, and I like it.

One of Holmgren’s principles is ‘Catch And Store Energy’. And we try to follow this principle with storing food. We have been preserving for quite a few years now, but is something we could expand upon.
Our ‘under house’ pantry in our urban location is cool and ideal for storing bottled produce. Some of the foods we capture and store are as follows :
* pasta sauce
I once heard David Holmgren speaking, and he wondered why we use a Supermarket as our pantry. I think it is much better to have your own pantry.
As a backup for a dearth of produce, I also like to maintain a few months supply of the sort of staples and supermarket foods that we also consume. This is about (I think ) 50 days worth of food that we normally consume stored in our pantry.

Checking a clock may be as helpful as counting calories when it comes to controlling body weight.
According to experts, people who snack after 8 p.m. have higher body mass indexes (BMIs) than people who don’t snack so late, even though they don’t eat significantly more or less total daily calories.
Previous studies in animals have found that even when calories are held steady, the timing of meals and sleep and exposure to light can impact metabolism and BMI. Experts also are quick to point out that night owls tended to be late sleepers, with a midpoint of sleep that was after 5:30 a.m. Late sleepers typically logged less sleep than normal sleepers. They also started their days later, a pattern that pushed back mealtimes throughout the day.
Additionally, they had higher BMIs than normal sleepers, ate more calories after 8 p.m., and ate fewer fruits and vegetables.
“The one major thing that remains positive, that remains correlated, is eating after 8 p.m.,” says Phyllis Zee, MD, associate director of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Biology and a professor at Northwestern University’s Institute for Neuroscience in Chicago.
Night Eating: It’s Not Just Your Waistline That’s In Danger
Night eaters had almost four more missing teeth than non-night eaters even when controlling for factors like age, education, diabetes, body mass and binge eating. And gender made no difference.
“We hypothesize that consuming foods in the middle of the night, not brushing or flossing one’s teeth after nocturnal ingestions, and reduced salivary flow during the night increase the risk of tooth loss in this sample,” said Jennifer Lundgren, a psychologist at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Practical Advice for Dieters
Eating late affects the body in a different way than eating a larger meal at mid-day. If we consume most of our calories at night, our bodies are not able to process the food as efficiently as we do during the day.
Furthermore, unless you work the night shift, most of us are tired after a hard day of work. After dinner, we want to rest and settle in for the night. This is a good idea! It prepares our bodies for sleep and relaxation. Unfortunately, if we lie down with a huge belly full of food, we are putting a strain on our system.
This usually leads to a feeling of lethargy in the morning. We also experience disrupted sleep if the body is working so hard to digest what we ate the night before.
Red meat is an especially toxic food to consume late at night. Meat takes longer than any other food item to digest. We should particularly avoid the intake of meat late at night, as it tends to stay in our digestive track longer than grains, fruits or vegetables.
“Many of our patients struggle with night eating,” says Elisabetta Politi, RD, nutrition director at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, N.C.
Still, there are many unanswered questions about why late eating may lead to weight gain. For example, in some European countries, for example, it is customary to eat dinner at later hours, which doesn’t seem to contribute to higher rates of obesity in those countries. But ultimately, experts agree that for people trying to lose weight, it probably wouldn’t hurt to curb nighttime eating.
“It makes perfect sense to eat more when you are more physically active. You burn off the calories you eat,” Politi says, “But at the same time, we don’t want people to feel that if they eat something healthy at 10 p.m., it is going to lead to weight gain.”
Tips To Avoid Late Night Eating
- Eat a moderate breakfast and a heavier lunch.
- Try eating a light dinner that still fulfills a healthy emotional “nourishing” component. A good dinner food is soup. It is warming, filling, and easy on our digestive tract. Particularly in the winter and fall, it is the perfect later meal.
- If you aren’t a fan of larger lunches, go for a larger dinner before 6 PM.

We started Sunny Slope Farm because Juneau is a community where all of our food is shipped in from the Lower 48. We did not know who grew our food, how they tended it and what kinds of chemicals they used. This bothered us. We wanted fresh local food and wanted to shake hands with the farmer who grew it. Here at Sunny Slope Farm we believe that there is a better way to grow food that is local, sustainable and affordable. As a family operated back yard market grower, we never use chemical fertilizers, chemical pesticides or genetically modified plants. Instead we rely organic growing methods to keep our land and crops healthy and productive.
At Sunny Slope Farm, we care about reducing food miles, we want to connect with our community in a meaningful way, want to promote biodiversity and grow varieties of crops that taste better while operating a small-scale economically sustainable farming system. We believe that by working with the natural rhythms of our Southeast Alaska landscape we can grow excellent tasting food without risks to the environment. We also know that locally grown food is fresher, healthier, and tastes better!
We are located on Douglas Island in Juneau, Alaska.

The Problems with Jamie Oliver's Idea of a Food Revolution
Jamie Oliver claims that he doesn’t understand modern-day poverty in the U.K. Yeah. That sounds about right.
In a recent interview promoting Jamie Oliver’s new television series and book, Oliver said, "I'm not judgmental, but I've spent a lot of time in poor communities, and I find it quite hard to talk about modern-day poverty. You might remember that scene in [a previous series] Ministry of Food, with the mum and the kid eating chips and cheese out of Styrofoam containers, and behind them is a massive f****** TV.” Perhaps with one of his TV shows on it.
The celebrity chef, who has worked to make school lunches healthier in the U.K. and U.S., is out-of-touch with the harsh realities of life in poverty. This is a wealthy, White man blaming low-income individuals for their health and food predicaments, as if everyone has access to healthy food in their community, has the time to cook fresh meals, and has the electricity with which to cook the meals. He ignores the massive fast food advertisements communities of color see. In another interview, he complains about his young, British employees because they don't want to work 80 to 100 hours per week. So according to Oliver, poor people should work 80 hours per week and still have time to cook fresh meals. He wants to exploit cheap labor, but not accept any responsibility for their circumstances. Furthermore, he implies that poor people do not deserve to enjoy entertainment or the right to choose what they eat. Oliver’s comments are patronizing, presuming that low-income communities, which are often communities of color, need him to come in and tell them how to live.
His assumption is that poor communities cannot and should not fix their own problems.
Here in Albuquerque, New Mexico where I live, places like Los Jardines Institute provide locally grown, organic produce to marginalized low-income communities and local schools at an affordable price. The sale of the produce sustains the volunteer run organization. Beyond providing healthy fruits and vegetables, the organization also works on local environmental justice issues. Food justice work is making a difference throughout the U.S.
For the past year, Media Literacy Project has been working with the New York Department of Health to integrate media literacy education into their health programs. I’ve had the opportunity to train people who are living and working in all five boroughs (Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Bronx, and Staten Island). There is a clear connection between health, marketing, and geography. A study from Yale proved that Black children view 50% more fast food ads and see twice as many calories in those ads than White children. Latino preschoolers in the U.S. see 290 Spanish-language fast food TV commercials each year, a quarter of which are from McDonald’s.
This reality means that when health inequities are addressed in food justice programs, it is critical that the roles of marketing and advertising be included as structural factors in health outcomes. When our communities are provided limited food options in their neighborhoods, and are simultaneously bombarded with messages that tell them this substandard food is healthy, affordable, and delicious, it becomes increasingly difficult to shift behaviors. Media literacy is a crucial step in addressing food inequities.
Community organizations from New Mexico to New York have proved Oliver wrong and shared with me how they connect media literacy to food justice. Using MLP’s tools, they deconstruct media, explain how these messages impact culture, and provide alternative food options for the neighborhoods they are working in. Due to food justice work, farmer’s markets and food co-ops are increasing in areas that have historically been denied fresh fruits and vegetables.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how our communities are creating solutions to ensure that we have access to the food we need. One of the issues that I keep coming back to is the definition of a food desert. The USDA defines a food desert as, “urban neighborhoods and rural towns without ready access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food. Instead of supermarkets and grocery stores, these communities may have no food access or are served only by fast food restaurants and convenience stores that offer few healthy, affordable food options.” This is most often measured by counting the grocery stores in a low-income neighborhood. The USDA provides funding priority to projects “that establish healthy retail outlets in defined food deserts.” Programs that have developed alternatives to retail outlets do not receive that funding.
As a media literacy educator, community organizer, and cultural critic, I find this problematic. Grocery stores have practiced red-lining and have refused to place themselves in poor communities of color deliberately. Grocery stores exist to sell us the processed, packaged foods that are marketed to us, such as Jamie Oliver’s packaged foods on which he made millions. In fact, grocery stores are arranged specifically to ensure that we purchase those packaged foods and receive payment to place certain packaged foods on shelves that will reach their target audience. For example, they place sugary cereals on lower shelves so that children will be more likely to see them, nag for them, and get their parents to purchase them.
Using a definition of a food desert that supports corporate entities (like grocery stores), instead of a definition that allows for existing community-based institutions (local farms and gardens), is a disservice.
I want a definition of a food desert that would allow for places like Los Jardines to be prioritized because not only are they providing healthy food for their community, the money made at Los Jardines stays in our community, too.
Simply put, grocery stores should not be positioned as saviors in our fight for food justice. Our communities need institutions that are better than grocery stores. We need places that are created solely to provide us with the healthy food we need, that teach us how to grow, prepare, and serve it, that sell it at affordable prices, and that recycle our money back into our community.
We need places that are more meaningful than grocery stores so that we can effectively drown out the food advertisements and media messages our communities are bombarded with every day. For me, I can’t separate the struggle for media justice from food justice. I see them as threads in the same tapestry of our movement. I’m thrilled that the New York Department of Health feels the same way and I look forward to continuing to build our relationship with them this coming year.

I just watched a very interesting YouTube video from Wengie. In this video Wengie discusses the topic of foods that cause us to prematurely age. The title of her video is “Is Your Food Aging You Prematurely?? Anti-Aging Diet Tips”.
I personally have been involved in the health and fitness industry for many years, but never have heard of AGEs. The initials AGE stand for advanced glycation end-product. Simply put, these are components in the foods we eat that have a negative effect on our overall health and more specifically on how rapidly we age. In the video she recommends a book titled “How Not to Die” where the concept of AGEs are discussed in greater detail. I for one will be reading this book as soon as possible.
What we eat can actually be given a score based on the AGEs within that particular food. In general, processed foods that are high in fats and sugars get a high AGE score, while fresh fruits and vegetables have low AGE score. The lower the AGE score the better this food is for our health and how well we fight the aging process. Wengie gives the dramatic example of bacon having an AGE score of 90,000, while a can of corn has only a 95 score. This illustrates what a huge difference our food choices can make in the quality of our lives.
Wengie also discusses the concept that the same food, but cooked differently can have dramatically different AGE scores. She gives the example of a piece of fried chicken having 73,000 AGEs while the same piece of chicken boiled instead of fried only has 11,000 AGEs. Apparently high heat cooking really causes a rise in the AGE score, while slow cooking helps to keep the AGEs lower.


This holiday season snuck up on us pretty quickly, but we were ready with one of our favorite fall flavors. Pumpkin pie PhroZen hit freezers in October, and we’ve been stocking and restocking it since. The feedback has been great, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the support.
So, what better way to say thank you for supporting our local small business, than by supporting another small business?? We were lucky enough to come into contact with a small farmer in the area, who happened to have grown “fairytale” pumpkins this year. That got the wheels turning, and led to the limited batch of pumpkin pie flavor PhroZen that’s out now. We processed those pumpkins into our ice cream, and couldn’t be happier with the result. Working with local businesses is pretty sweet.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us this year – you’ve given us even more reasons to be thankful this year. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Love.

Brownies are eternal favorites at home. Father and the two offsprings clamour for it, all the time. And each can finish one whole batch by themselves in no time. I’m not exaggerating. As I measure out the butter , sugar and maida, there is a feeling of foreboding. Their favorite one has 150 g butter, 1 1/2 cup sugar, 5-6 bars of snickers and chocolate chips on top of that. Sometimes ganache as well. If the lot ate vegetables otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so worried. Like necessity, worry also causes new discoveries. Tried this yesterday. Yet to name it 🙂
1 1/2 cups chopped dark chocolate pieces
3/4 cups oil (sun flower or olive – olive oil gives extra softness and glow)
1 cup grated jaggery
1 T vanilla
1 cup whole wheat flour
a pinch of baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup crushed walnuts
Sift flour, bs and salt. Keep aside.
Warm the chocolate chips and oil together on high in a microwave for 40 sec. Mix well using a manual whisk.
Add jaggery, mix well. Add the eggs one by one and mix well after each addition. Add vanilla.
Add the sifted flour in three equal portions and blend till just mixed. Add the grated carrot and 3/4 of the walnuts. Gently blend.
Transfer to a square pan lined with oiled aluminum foil. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts on top. Bake at 170 C for 27 – 30 minutes.
(Optional – Add 1 cup of choco chips along with the grated carrot. You could also pour some ganache on top once cooled.)

Hello Spring. Everywhere I look, nature is in bloom! While you’re gardening this year, whether for beautiful flowers or bountiful beds for kitchen use, consider planting a few seeds for the benefit of the estate chef and your principals’ pets as well.
Let me introduce myself. I am Joanie Veage. A seasoned Private Service Professional House Manager who provides for my principals, bespoke meal service, and natural pet care for their dogs. A few cats here and there. I wrote this article to share with you the sustainable growth practices, organic gardening, and lawn care, that I prefer for my principal’s landscape using healthy soils that bring many benefits to themselves and their pets. These practices also keep our environment and waterways healthy. Good, clean healthy food begins with good, clean healthy soil. By using natural organic fertilizers and nitrogen sources we can have more control over the food we eat at home. An organic culinary landscape is naturally resistant to disease and insect pests. It also contributes to the long-term health of the soil that feeds the food we grow and eat, while avoiding pollution from synthetic chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. An organic garden boasts much fewer toxic metals and nitrates, and a higher concentration of essential trace minerals in your produce.
Organic lawn care promotes faster degradation of pet waste and reduces those unsightly yellow or brown urine spots in the grass. Organic lawn care can magically slow grass growth and reduce watering needs by up to 50%. These benefits translate to less mowing, thus fewer pollutants from lawn mower and trimmer engines. Conventional lawn chemicals can be tracked into your home on the paws of pets and the feet of people. These chemicals, in addition being irritating to the skin, are known to promote some cancers, aggravate allergies and weaken our immune systems. With an organically grown and cared-for lawn, your principals and their four-legged family can enjoy playtime and sun-bathing on a cool green carpet, with peace of mind.
There are many educational resources and practical classes available at your local garden centers and nurseries that make learning organic food production fun and easy. From beautiful visual landscapes to your culinary gardens, indoors or outdoors, or balcony garden. Container planting or acreage, you too can go green.
Of the many beneficial, nutrient-dense, and antioxidant-rich foods that your principals’ pets can enjoy this season. And many for the chef. I recommend:
Grasses, Sprouts and Vegetables
Edible cereal grasses that are beneficial for their vital nutrients, minerals, and roughage to aid in healthy digestion, as well as clean breath from the chlorophyll. Small amounts may be finely chopped and sprinkled on your pet’s food or juiced for yourself. You should be aware that seasonally and geographically, some grasses produce more pollen than others. “Pet grass” like barley grass and wheat grass, are preferred because of their low pollen and mold spore counts. You can find a blended, organic pet grass seed at some pet food shops and garden centers.
Many seeds can be sprouted: alfalfa, mung bean, red clover, broccoli, lentils, oats, arugula, radish, and so on. You can buy seed sprout mixes especially for dogs, at https://sproutpeople.org
Vegetable choices include fresh grated carrots, beets and zucchini as well as chopped yellow, green, and red peppers. Dogs and humans alike especially love cooked spaghetti squash and other hard shell, winter varieties like pumpkin – these are also good for digestion and preventing enlarged anal glands. Try offering these foods, as well as steamed broccoli and cauliflower, green beans, and peas. Cats might like some grated or minced cucumber, and of course, fresh catnip leaves.
Limit raw vegetables with high oxalic acid content like spinach, swiss chard and rhubarb, as it inhibits calcium absorption.
Some pets do well with white and red potatoes, but other pets have trouble digesting them. Sweet potatoes and yams tend to be a better choice.
There are many beneficial herbs that can add taste and variety and possess mild medicinal qualities if added in small amounts to you and your pet’s foods: parsley, thyme, oregano, raspberry or blackberry leaves, basil, and fenugreek. I recommend before adding herbs to your pets’ food, that you know their sensitivities and allergies, and understand the potency and methods of herbal medicine first. A well-known authority in herbal medicine, known as “Juliette of The Herbs” (Juliette De Bairacli Levy, 1912 – 2009) wrote The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat, and The Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable. Another wonderfully inspiring educator is Rosemary Gladstar whom you can learn about at www.sagemountain.com
Foods possess much more than just vitamins, minerals, protein, starch, and fiber. They also have thermal qualities, energetic properties, can be moistening or drying, move the body’s energy in different directions, and support different organs in various ways. Using food as medicine is a long-held tradition in many cultures. For more information on the energetics of food and Chinese Food Therapy for animals, read Four Paws Five Directions by Cheryl Schwartz, DVM.
A great reference book for your family is Healing with Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford.
And before I forget…… While I would say Mother Nature has been good to us so far, this early spring, don’t be surprised when it starts raining cats and dogs.
