Do you go to the farmer’s market or browse through the produce department and leave empty handed, dreading the thought of slicing tomatoes, fearing that herbs will wilt in your refrigerator, imagining the chore of slicing a watermelon or pineapple?  Most consumers are paying premium prices for low quality pre-chopped frozen or refrigerated produce.  If the daily application of a whole food plant-based diet is your goal, knowing how to get the biggest bang for your buck and make the most of your precious minutes without sacrificing food quality or meal satisfaction should be top priority.  Protective Diet Education is known for inspiring and motivating busy people who dread the thought of shopping for produce, let alone preparing it to follow through with a long term, enjoyable, effective daily practice.  Our community is applying simple-to-follow, family friendly PD kitchen systems, eliminating waste, cutting food costs in half, improving ingredient quality and saving time when hunger strikes. Join the PD-Ed community classroom and transform your kitchen into a Workplace for Wellness that offers a multitude of daily rewards focused on protection for human health, animal welfare and environmental preservation.

Simple tip to inspire kitchen joy:
A very sharp 6- to 8-inch chef’s knife is the number one cost cutting, time saving kitchen tool that improves culinary pleasure and meal presentation.  I dropped off my favorite knives for sharpening on Friday and I’m missing them with appreciation until their return on Monday. The importance of a very sharp chef’s knife and easy-wash, perfectly sized and conveniently stored cutting boards has been mentioned in many PD-Ed lessons, but it is commonly overlooked if you are new to cooking.  This is more than likely the reason many do not get the thrill and presentation results I do when preparing salads, dicing vegetables and chopping through a bunch of herbs like a pro.

Do you purchase carrots in tiny machine-made logs? With a good knife, cutting fresh carrots into sticks is like cutting through butter.  When you use the right tool for the job, it’s joy to dice an onion and cube a watermelon like a pro. Tonight I will review the dos and don’ts to keep your knives sharp and when to have them sharpened in the live PD-Ed classroom.  Join us for on the spot personal Q&A and a fun regroup with the Protective Diet community.

A combination of whole food plant-based ingredients dressed in PD camouflage, perfect for salad lovers in training. This recipe offers exciting familiar flavors served with satisfying starch energy to move salad-based meals to your family’s favorite recipes list. Warning: While enjoying this delicious combination, you will likely forget you are eating a salad. Serving it like Pico de Gallo makes it a fun starter for summer parties, after school snacks or a complete main dish meal.

Using Protective Diet’s oil-free dry browning technique, we can boost flavor and add gourmet appeal to weeknight meals in minutes. This technique will add rich satisfying flavor when using onions in whole food plant-based recipes. Chefs are taught to sear, brown and char to add flavor. With Protective Diet, I eliminated the oils and fats, creating new cooking techniques to add flavor. Master my oil-free caramelizing technique with this recipe. Add Caramelized Onions with Sweet Peppers to PD Italian “Sausage” for an unforgettable sandwich, perfect pasta dish or skillet starter finished with potatoes. Top PD Quick-Mix Pizza Crust for a Foodie approved pizza party.

Sweet or hot is all you needed to know when ordering sausage at an Italian market in Chicago. Served layered in a bun with Red Sauce, grilled onions, and topped with your choice of sweet or hot peppers. Growing up, my mother's red sauce would simmer all day on the lowest flame while she was out tending to the garden. It frequently included a couple of seared Italian sausages to add flavor. Chicago pizza wasn't complete without Italian Sausage. Thankfully we have a fantastic fat free, whole-food, gluten-free, plant-based Protective Diet version. The PD community is enjoying recipe classics and comfort food favorites while slimming down, reversing disease, maintaining optimal health and offering protection to humans, animals and our planet.

Toss the toxic, gross-tasting strips and expensive bleaching trays for an all-natural faster PD way to polish and whiten. Your teeth will be noticeably whiter and smoother with just one treatment. I've been asked who my dentist is because of my pearly whites; then I tell them about my little gem of an instant polishing trick. No routine to commit to, just polish them as needed. Give yourself a little love and attention with natural tooth polishing during your Protective Diet 30 Day Detox & Taste Bud Reprogram.

PD Dertergent

This effective easy-make natural laundry detergent will cut household costs dramatically and eliminate the chemical bath your clothes are currently taking. Commercial detergents and fabric softeners pollute our waterways and the air we breathe, and absorb into our system through our skin. This can break down the foundation of our immune system and irritate our skin and respiratory system. Protective Diet Natural Laundry Detergent will leave your blender pitcher sparkling clean and your laundry soft and beautifully clean. Choose fresh unscented or a light kiss of essential oils for just pennies per naturally clean load, offering protection for humans, animals and our planet.

Testimonial from Lisa
https://protectivediet.com/testimonials/all-the-donts-pd-has-brought-me.html
Today is my 2nd PD-versary -- I think. I didn't pay much attention to the actual day because I didn't really believe I'd ever need to reference it! I know I would not have started on my birthday, so I am going with the day after. I lost 30 pounds the first year, and maybe another 5 the second. But really, as delightful as it is to take size 6 pants into the dressing room, and find they are sometimes too loose, that was just a bonus.

What I am really celebrating is all the "don'ts" PD has brought me:

  • I don't fear my colon cancer (11 years ago) will come back.
  • I don't have contingency plans for having a heart attack or stroke in my retirement years.
  • I don't worry about diabetes that plagued my poor mom in her 60s.
  • I don't have anything to add to the conversations among my peers about being tired, the risks of statins or the pain of plantar fasciitis.
  • I don't wear baggy sweats to the gym instead of cute and colorful fitted leggings.
  • I don't ever feel that panicky, cupboard-ransacking NEED for a treat.
  • I don't know my primary care physician at all.
  • I don't have to take "the options" in my group exercise or yoga classes despite having at least 15 years on everyone in the class.
  • I don't always need a recipe to create something delicious in the kitchen, and
  • I don't have to run to the grocery store every time I want to cook.
  • I don't have greasy stain remover products in my house.
  • I don't mind running.
  • I don't count points or calories or carbs or bites.
  • I don't have clutter around me.
  • I don't ask for help in carrying grandkids or heavy loads up the stairs.
  • I don't have any "fat clothes" in my closet.
  • I don't mind wearing a swimsuit.
  • I don't get sunburns.
  • I don't say no to spontaneous dog walks, Frisbee games, or long bike rides.
  • I don't know exactly how much I weigh.

I could go on. And on. But mostly I don't ever want to go back to my pre-PD days!
Thank you Julie Marie and PD!
