This month I’m sharing some information about the Vegetarian protocol. It’s becoming more popular with the onset of news regarding the dangers of antibiotics and meat. This way of life might be an alternative for some of you looking to slowly move away from your nightly meat meals and ease into a more whole-grain, veggie, and plant-based life.
I love this site! It lays it out so clearly, and you can jump to the summaries to get the gist if you’re in a hurry. Next month I’ll share another protocol, the Vegan diet. It will be interesting to compare and see which protocol best suits your needs and health restrictions.

I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
