INTRODUCTION

Greens on a Budget is a project that consists of various layers.

FOOD LITERACY

Recognizing and using more whole foods expands the bounty from where we derive vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, antioxidants, and fiber.

REFERENCES

In these lists you will find the amount of calcium, protein, and fat in many foods.  By avoiding the blind pursuit of one nutrient or another you can select more nourishing healthful foods.  You will also find a helpful comparison price list for nourishing foods from area markets.

RECIPES

A number of simple recipes will help you experience the sensation of combining nourishing foods.  Condiments allow you to play with taste while they contribute their nutritional properties.  In these recipes I emphasize that the optimal nutrition is based on an abundance of whole plant foods in a great variety of colors every day.

ESSAYS

I am also writing some essays that I want to share with you.  Some are personal pieces while others combine awareness and activism.  As you pause between the lines you might connect the state of our health with the health of our planet.
