Oprah and staffers at The Oprah show took on the challenge of going meatless for an entire week! If Oprah can do it, so can you! Staffers say that going vegan for a week not only changed their bodies but their psyche. Oprah’s vegan-guru, author Kathy Freston, claims that eliminating meat has a host of benefits such as, flawless skin, shiny hair, and nails that grow faster. And, she claims, weight loss is a breeze. Of course, there are also many environmental benefits. I’m even considering trying it with my daughter’s next week! Are you up for the challenge? Follow the link for more great info!

On Valentine’s Day, when we’re enjoying the chocolate given to us as gifts by the people we love, most of us are not aware that there’s a side to chocolate that’s not too sweet.
That’s why Green America has launched a National Week of Action, February 4-14, 2011, for screenings of the film The Dark Side of Chocolate.
During the week of action, Green America is also asking us to send a special Valentine’s Day card to Hershey’s CEO, David West, asking him to “have a heart”, eliminating child and forced-labor by shifting to Fair Trade Certified cocoa. Further, Green America has a similar online letter-writing campaign, asking Hershey’s to commit to sourcing 100% Fair Trade Certified cocoa by 2012.
What Fair Trade Certified chocolate means:
- Chocolate was produced without human trafficking and without forced or child labor
- Chocolate was produced under standards that protect environmental and human rights.
To get involved in the cause, gather friends and family together to host a screening of the The Dark Side of Chocolate. Get your screening kit here.

Soup that is healthy and simple
Soup is about comfort, warmth of soul, and the feeling of home. And in the chill of winter, with Valentine’s Day just around the bend, soup can be about love: love of friends and family and the care that you put into the meals that you create for them. Let’s face it though, as busy moms, sometimes its about an easy dinner that fills the bellies fast and warms the heart!
Simple Tortellini Soup Recipe
