Morning, Magnificence!
Are you ready for a curve ball?
Today we’ve got two fabulous ladies on the menu and you’re in for a few surprises. But first, here’s a special Halloween recipe that Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo contributed to the blog comments. In case you missed it, you can check it out and visit her other Halloween recipes for the whole family! (She’s got the BEST recipes for kids!)
Here’s a recipe that my kids love…and so do the neighbors kids. It’s from my book “Healthy Halloween Treats” available HERE.
Caramel Covered Apple on a Stick
Ingredients
1 cup dates
1/4 to 1/2 cup almond milk or other nut milk of your choice
a dash of sea salt
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla (extract or powder) or 1 inch vanilla bean, scraped
3-4 apples
Preparation
1- Blend all ingredients except apple until smooth, starting with 1/4 cup almond milk and adding extra only if needed to blend, assuring the mixture stays thick
3- Insert a Popsicle stick into the center of each apple
4- Dip apple into caramel sauce
5- Refrigerate until caramel semi hardens
Serve and enjoy the squeals of delight.
I’m looking forward to meeting Tera and Robyn in person at Robyn’s retreat in April 2011. Love, health and joy to all, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo.

Heather Pace
If you were driving through this event so far, you are about to experience a very sharp left hand turn. This was the most unexpected thing that happened to me during this entire event. I called up Heather Pace because she’s the Queen of raw food dessets and I was sure she would have some inspiring tips and fabulous recipes to pass our way. The kinds of irresistible dishes that no man can refuse. (They say, afterall, that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so Heather was my ticket to success. However, when I called her up the conversation took some very unexpected directions. I’ll leave you with a bit of mystery, here, but know that this interview risks creating a bit of commotion. Let us know what you think and enjoy!
Dr. LindaJoy Rose
Ahhh, this lovely lady joined us because she’s just finished working on a book all about “Raw Fusion” (how to marry the worlds of cooked and raw food together. She interviewed a whole lot of raw food “gurus” to find out what they eat when they “cheat” and some of the cooked food compromises they turn to when they’re not raw. I think you’ll find this call pretty interesting and get new inspiration and confidence to walk your own path, listen to YOUR body and discover what works best for you.
We recognize that once these latest calls are put on the table, things will start getting a bit interesting around here. We want to let you know that we’ve been careful to try and represent multiple points of view, and aren’t trying to skew the message of this program one way or the other.
Ultimately, at the end of the day what we’re trying to do is find tools to improve our relationships. Not just our relationships with food, but our relationships with ourselves and our loved ones. Tolerance, understanding and compassion are the most important things we can put on the menu, so please keep an open heart when hearing the stories of others. We’re all hear to learn and understand, to grow and improve our conditions in life. At the end of the day, know that there will ALWAYS be someone who disagrees with you, and that personal integrity is having the courage to speak your truth, walk your path with confidence and grant other people the right to do the same.
With love and understanding,
Tera and Fiona
