Hello all!

I am new here, but I am very excited to participate in this forum. I am looking forward to learning from and educating those who have the same passion as I do about our health and well-being through nutrition and lifestyle.

I have wanted to join this program for years.  Finally did it the day before classes started. No time to over think where will I come up with the time to do this or can I afford this. I just did it. I am so excited that I did.  I am loving the material I am learning from Bauman, but it is scary to read and learn how many issues we have in the food supply.  The more I learn the harder it is to shop and eat.  I expected to learn cool stuff about how to fuel my body and those of my clients but I am surprised by the hidden agenda of the food industry to hide the way they are poisoning each of us in a slow diet changes.    Am I alone here?? Anyone else shocked by the hidden GMO secrets and medical issues developed by our food supply?

HI my name is Sharon Jones, I am so excited to finally be studying nutrition from a holistic approach. There is so much information out there, some say one thing and others say something different, it can become confusing.  It will be nice to discuss and learn from like minded people.
I have a question:  Does anyone have a good recipe for cauliflower greens?
I have a funny story to share from many years ago.  I am originally form  a big city, and i moved to a small country city that grows many different varieties of vegetables.  When i seen this as i rode around the city, i thought this is great I never have to buy vegetables again.... one day as i was riding around exploring the city i spotted what i thought were collard greens, it was new years eve and i always cook them that night., so i pulled over not knowing that i was not allowed to pick them and i picked soooo many, i cooked them just as i normally do, everyone who tasted them exclaimed how Delicious they were (thinking they were collard greens)   I learned much later that collard greens are not the tops of cauliflower  (lol i reasoned that like stores throw away the greens from turnips they were doing the same with the greens from cauliflower) so if anyone did not know you can eat these greens  and they are very tasty.

Hi Sharon,
Welcome. I hope you are enjoying school and learning how to get and stay healthy with nutrition. It sounds like you already have made a good recipe for cauliflower greens by treating them like collards. They are closely related vegetables of the brassica family. In fact any of the  greens can be prepared by steaming, sautéing with onions, mushrooms and/or fatback (orgainc or pasture raised of course) in soups or stews or by using them as wraps. You can even shred them and make ferment them like you would sauerkraut! Experiment, enjoy and keep us posted on what you discover.
