We made tons of this in the 80’s, when “The New Deli” was just a small wholesale sandwich business in our home kitchen (AKA “Foods for Thought”). Dern hippies, with a “grass-roots” food business!

Chocolate Strawberry Truffles, Healthy Style
Even my skeptical son enjoyed these. A mix of frozen strawberries, coconut, and honey, dipped in bittersweet chocolate (just coconut oil, butter, honey, and cocoa powder). So good!
A Healthy Gut = Happy Head
I am digging my probiotics. And when my friend mentioned how her buddy was drinking kombucha to help with anxiety, I knew I needed to post this!
Portabella Mushroom Burgers- Vegetarian Style
Use the mushrooms in place of hamburger patties, for a “meaty” vegetarian alternative at dinner. Or let the mushrooms cool off a bit, slicing into strips, and top a salad with ’em.
Do You Know Where Your Honey Went?!
It might sound like a conspiracy theory, but… it might be that all “honey” is not honey! Studies found absolutely zero pollen in many of the tested brands of honey- not a good sign.
Stock- Homemade & Easy!
Yes, it’s easier to buy a carton or can of it, but some nutrition & flavor’s lost. A good batch of stock is full of gelatin, congealing after refrigerating, so you know it’s rich. And, you can use minimal salt when making your own. More flavor, & healthier.
Gingerbread Cookies, Natural Style
Ginger’s great- helping w/inflammation &blood sugar/serum cholesterol/cortisol levels. Not that I’m chowing down on Gingerbread cookies for health reasons. Easy decorating w/fruits & nuts tho!
Homemade Gifts: Natural Skin Care Goodies
I love making my own skin care products- I can use natural ingredients & fave essential oils- certain ones are perfect for skin, for mood; some have hormone-balancing and other benefits.
Bacon-Wrapped Scallops: Paleo Appetizer
The trick to this succulent paleo-style party food: Sear scallops just to brown, so they’ll stay juicy. Cook bacon lightly first, then wrap around scallop, then bake to finish bacon.
Lentil Soup w/Veggies: Popular New Deli Soup
We like to make Lentil Vegetable Soup when we’ve made a new batch of tomato sauce- that plus veggies & a dash of liquid smoke & brown sugar make for a great soup!
