Hey guys,

As you know, I'm working on writing another nutrition/weight loss book (hurray!) and I am in need of written testimonials. So, just in case reading this blog or coming to one of my seminars have helped you lose weight, lower cholesterol/blood pressure/diabetes medication, I would love to hear it. If you'd like to remain anonymous, you can email me directly at schwags12@yahoo.com.

Thanks!

Split Pea Soup (my own recipe)

3 cups dry split peas
4 carrots, grated
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 bay leaves
water
salt to taste

Soak peas covered in water overnight. Drain, then rinse them the next day to remove gas. Cover peas with water (depending how watery you like your soup, just cover with water or add more) and boil. Grate carrots and add, along with onion, garlic, and bay leaves. After soup reaches a hardy boil, turn to simmer and cover, stirring infrequently. When split peas are soft, add salt and remove from heat.
