      Oh my! This looks scary, I was a vegetarian for a long time too but I don't think I am brave enough to try this yet even though I know it is absolutely terrific for your health. :) I'll file the recipe away, thanks for sharing!

      I'm going to give this a try. I love chicken livers, but so far, have not developed a taste for the beef. Quick question: are the herb measurements for fresh or dried?

        Eileen, I use dried herbs - some from my own garden and others store bought.

    Your gut health plays a central role in nutrient absorption, and affects all other systems in your body. The bacterial cultures in your intestines are an often overlooked and neglected part of the average diet.

    Known as the "second brain", your gut has more than 100 million neurons, and needs to be nourished.

    You'll find recipes here that focus on prebiotic ingredients, whole vegetables, and probiotics like kefir, sauerkraut and cheese.
