Natural Awakenings Central Florida / Orlando

Veggies for the Holidays

“We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.” ~ Ronald Reagan
Isn’t this above quote the truth?! And, I am here to help some animals, too. What about you? As the Holiday festivities approach, we are focusing on making veggies the main event. For mouth-watering recipes, see pages 14-19. Each one will be tested in my kitchen! And, the turkey will be pardoned. 

Point of View
by Shel Silverstein
An Animal Rights Poem from All-Creatures.org

Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless
Christmas dinner's dark and blue
When you stop and try to see it
From the dinner's point of view.

Sunday dinner isn't sunny
Easter feasts are just bad luck
When you see it from the view point
of a chicken or a duck.

Oh how I once loved tuna salad,
Pork, lobsters, lamb chops too
'Til I stopped and looked at dinner
From the dinner's point of view.

Let’s practice gratitude every day, count our blessings, get outside and cherish the fact that we live in this beautiful climate of Central Florida.

I also want to extend my gratitude to you all, our readers—and, of course, the many advertisers who have supported this magazine for decades. (We are in our 24th year of publishing.) Without them, this free magazine would not be possible. Please support them when making purchases. Also, many of them offer Gift Certificates. Healthy, locally-made products and/or services make very thoughtful gifts.

Happy Thanksgiving to all,
