As far as the color, if you use enough berries, then it should be pink or purple. For a tiny bit of extra sweetness, you can add a bit of dark, unfiltered, raw honey. Hi Susan,

I am a mother of two and about 10 years ago I invented a chopper especially for chopped salads. It's called the Toss and Chop Salad Chopper and my company is Silvermark. My little ones are now 14 and 15 and they still are eating chopped salads! Thank you for a great articles. - Wendy Silver I love what you wrote about serving chopped salads to kids – it happens to be true!

My trouble is getting my mother to give raw veggies to my daughter! Daughter keeps sneaking raw veggies while they are being prepared, Mother keeps getting upset that granddaughter is eating before supper and not eating her cooked veggies at suppertime. My suggestion to both was for the veggies to be placed on her plate for her to eat during supper. Neither one has listened to me and the battle continues. Great ideas, will most likely do for myself.

The saddest day of the year is our last pickup for the season; but on a high note, our farm has a "pig out" weekend. That is when members are allowed and encouraged to glean what is left from the fields before the frost sets in (NJ). We are allowed to pick all we can use or up to 50 lbs. Yesterday the boys (two grandsons, age 9 and 12) and I took to the fields. After 2 hours of foraging with map in hand we went home and cooked part of our bounty. Jon, the youngest, is becoming a real pro in the kitchen. In fact, I suggested that we start a food prep (both cooked and raw) show called Jon and Gram in the kitchen! As of now, he feels too "shy" to do it. Really enjoy your tapings. You are both an inspiration to all, but especially to your age group which is much needed. I am 70 years young (love seeing them move that life expectancy chart up to 120) and a health minister for Hallelujah Acres. It was fun to see your tape on George. Since I have known him (7 years), he has not strayed from his teachings about health. Bottom line..our bodies are made to be in a state of homeostasis always. We just can't hinder it through our choices. I lost 50 lbs. on this diet 7 years ago, and have not gained it back or looked back on the food I used to cook both in a small restaurant that I owned and for my family. When I realized diet is not something you go on and off of, but rather is a choice of foods to eat, I was successful. My goal is to teach others that the choice they make today will translate into their health or sickness of tomorrow. I just finished getting my Naturopath degree from Trinity College in Warsaw, Indiana, and my ultimate goal is to have a csa and/or lifestyle center. (As you can tell, I have a hard time keeping quiet about health.) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. Blessings, Claudia De Fino Kevin,
