From Kansas to L.A.
A journey of inspiration.

Live Food 101 is a place for people committed to putting fresh organic food, the best food into our bodies. I wish to share resources, knowledge, and opportunities to learn & experience all that we can. From home grown gardens and help of local organic farmers, we can have the best food on earth !
Join me on my journey to lose over 100 pounds on natural foods, with delicious easy recipes made with lots of love and every day foods .


My grandmother had a restaurant in her home, and my first job was being a car hop at A&W Root beer... I went on to study the food world and remained in the business professionally for over 25 yrs. I semi-retired and took on a new career helping people with pets find a great place to live in So. Cal. I can tell ya my life changed and my new desk job helped add on the pounds !

From Texas to the country in Kansas , & then off to the big city life here in L. A. , where art,culture, music, food and fashion rule , I have been transported into another world. But no matter where we come from we all have one thing in common, we all have to eat !

There is a new consciousness to start eating more healthy, which means more plant based foods. An awareness has come about that we want Big farmers to stop spraying our food with poisons , that organic foods are possible for the masses and we can feed ourselves and families the best foods possible . There is a better way to live. A better way to breathe, a better way to eat .
We are what we eat!
Review planned daily foods at the bottom to help see how the foods we food effect us in calories and nutrition . Remember to get moving, breathe deeply and love yourselves as you love your family and friends everyday!

I can't wait to sneak a lazy morning and stay curled up under the blankets just a little longer .
I can't wait to bath in the sunshine .
I can't wait to take my next deep breath !!!


Motto for 2011       " Do Your Best ! "


Happiness and Success.
Peace Be With You .

Infinite Love and Gratitude !
