Joseph’s Very Famous Big Pot of Love
Soup is personal. Soup is of the heart. I have been making some variant of this soup for over 35 years now, and it just gets better and better. This is my desert-island food, the bowl of goodness I would most want to have if I could only eat one thing.
Simply Fantastic Pinto Beans
This recipe is just like the name says: simple. But it sure doesn’t taste that way!
Creamy Minnesota Wild Rice Soup
We are in the depths of the winter here in Minnesota, and it is the best time of year for hearty, soul-enriching soups. Minnesota-style wild rice soup is like your grandma’s hugs in a bowl, essentially a big bowl of gravy so thick your spoon stands up in it. This version is likewise super-thick and super-satisfying, and seems like something you shouldn’t be eating as part of a Healthful Living Practice. This one, though, is whole-foods, plant-based, with no added oil, and is richly creamy and delicious. Eat all you like!
Healthful Living Coaching
For most of his life, Joseph had the goal of being healthy; of finding a way to be thin and physically fit… and this goal was part of the problem that kept him morbidly obese and made him sicker. Even as an expert Registered Nurse, nurse educator, and nurse scholar, Joseph continued to gain weight and develop chronic diseases. After he took up a whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle, Joseph began to realize that it wasn’t an arbitrary end point like become healthy or lose 150 pounds that would help him to become the person he wished to be. It was the process; a Healthful Living Practice that he uses every day, from moment-to-moment. Once he understood that living healthfully was a better goal than reaching a particular weight, fitting into some size of jeans, or being able to run a marathon, everything changed. Joseph has lost over 200 pounds, completely reversed type 2 diabetes, eliminated a series of life-threatening infections, and recently completed the Leadville Trail Heavy Half, a 15.5-mile trail race on one of the toughest courses in the world. Today, Joseph continues to make progress toward the person he wants to be, through his own Healthful Living Practice.
