Letter from the Publisher Happy 4th of July!

Happy July everyone! I have always

loved the month of July, but now more than ever as it is my daughter’s birth month. Yes, this time of year will always hold a piece of my heart.

This year she has decided she wants a “Daniel Tiger” themed birthday party. For those who don’t know, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is a PBS animated continuation to Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood, where all the original characters are now grown up with their own preschool-aged children (in animal form). It’s full of life lessons and catchy songs. It’s so fun to experience the growth of a child and observe the choices they make and the things they learn.

When I think of July, I also think of Independence Day. I know I’ve talked about my personal Independence Day traditions before but it’s too near and

dear to my heart to not reminisce again! Typically my husband and I, and any family member we have on hand, will venture downtown on the 3rd to watch the fireworks. Well, that was then. We’ve skipped the last three years of fireworks, first due to being out of town, then the last two years, we’ve had an itty bitty baby who probably wouldn’t take kindly to the late night and noise. Instead we do an evening picnic on a beach somewhere, maybe shoot off a firework or two and make a relatively early night of it. This year we are contemplating braving the late night and downtown traffic with our almost three year old. She’s been such a joy to experience things with, and she is always more brave and comprehending then I estimate.

For example, we went to the carnival for the first time last month and she was a superstar! She rode every ride

her height allowed her to go on.

Got her face painted twice and had opinions about which colors and sparkles were to be applied. I was amazed at her understanding and direction following, because sometimes my demands at home fall on deaf ears or like any boundary testing kiddo, she’ll do the opposite of my request.

Anyway, the fireworks are up in the air, I’ll let you know next month what decision was made.

Back to our Independence Day ritual... We typically make our way downtown midmorning of the forth to share a delicious crepe from the Alaskan Crepe Escape (Monkey Business is our magazine, favorite) and visit with our dear friends I have developed a before the parade starts. When we hear deep care and appreciation for the the sirens it’s our cue to head to the local economy and fully understand Alaskan Fudge Company sidewalk, the necessity to support local business. where we watch the parade. As a I cannot tell you how grateful I am former employee of the Fudge Co. to local businesses and local residents it’s nostalgic to smell the sweet scent who have supported and contributed of fudge and caramel apples while to this lifestyle publication.

COST VS QUALITY non-GMO. We both avoid baked goods fairly religiously, never purchase soda, rarely eat out/ cook at home, and buy very few pre-packaged items. When we are buying packaged goods, we read labels and avoid artificial sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, high sugar of any kind, anything with artificial food colorings or flavorings, some other additives (the list is looooong) and soy.

We buy high quality fats. Grocery shopping and meal planning and prep often feels like a combination of full time job and school – it’s a lot of work and when you think you finally have it figured out, either the trusted One of my dearest friends is raising three product changes, you learn something else very active girls.

Our bodies determine to a large extent how we function and interact in the world and what limitations we might experience due to health concerns. So what kind of “house” do you have? What kind of “house” do you want? What impacts the quality of your “home” most?

RE/MAX of Juneau

4 boys. In stark contrast however, this mom stated she cared only about the price of the food.

She never looked at ingredients or nutritional labels.

She bought almost exclusively canned goods and boxed foods that had been clearance priced. She only bought meats on clearance sale and the cheapest dairy and cooking oils she could find.

She purchased almost no fresh or whole foods and lots of discount baked goods and a run through fast food for cheapest “meals” was not uncommon. This mother, I’m sure, was doing the very best she knew how, and I in no way intend to shame her. In fact, I would dare to say she represents the common view of food held in this country. That price is what matters most. If you share her view, I want to challenge you to reconsider food as an investment in your body and your health; much the same way you invest in the home you buy. Trust me, I know the expense to choose healthy seems like an

insurmountable burden, if not pure lunacy, when you first start switching from a cost to a quality mindset. I didn’t do it all at once myself and we still make compromises to fit our budget.

COST VS QUALITY

What I encourage you to do is start learning about food. As you learn about food and create habits of choice for foods that are of high quality, you become empowered, not burdened. Food is always going to be one of the biggest influencers of your health.

Study after study after study has proven this and continues to prove this. Food is either medicine or poison. You have to think of it this way. Food is biochemically active inside of your body. It communicates with the cells and systems of your body to either nourish you or poison you. It is really that simple.

AND you have a choice every time you eat or drink – ultimately no one else makes that decision for you. You get to because in your future when you invest in the food you purchase.

If you are having a hard time seeing it, really do compare it to a house. We have been house shopping since moving last year. After recently walking through a large home on a big lot in the neighborhood we desired, we came to the conclusion that we needed to shift our search. A friend who is a realtor had sent us the MLS as soon as it hit the market, knowing it was everything we

thought we wanted as far as size, location, and price – we were concerned about the age of the property. Nothing is sitting on the market here; act fast or get shut out.

The minute we stepped in the front door, we knew we wanted nothing to do with that house. The owners had decorated impeccably, it looked like a photo shoot out of a Pottery Barn catalog. It was clean and spacious. So what was wrong? The floor was so uneven that there was a change of almost a foot by the time you got to the back of the house. In fact it didn’t just slope, it went up and down, leaving you feeling almost sea sick as you walked from room to room. The upstairs was the same. In that moment we both agreed that if we were going to spend that much money on a house, we were buying new construction, which meant – not in that neighborhood given our price range!

So next we looked at some beautiful homes (in the same price range) about 30 minutes out of town. The thing was these large homes were on postage stamp sized lots, and sometimes shared driveways too. We need a little room for the girls and dog to be outside, let alone indulge my want to garden

just a bit. The other striking thing we both noticed right away, was that while the first impression of these new sub-division homes was breathtaking, they were all finished with lower quality “big-box” store bulk material.

In the model homes, the finishes were already showing significant wear just from the traffic of prospective buyers. We both value quality over quantity, so now we had to re-directed our search again. This time our search focused purely on quality. We wanted a solid construction with materials that will not have to be replaced in five years and attention to detail. We wanted a community that was nourishing, not busy and draining. We wanted just enough outdoor space to breathe deep and an environment that would foster peace. The last home we looked at was smaller and less expensive than the others we’d toured, but offered far more than we had hoped for in quality. After all, your home should be a place you want to come back to and ideally never leave – a haven. We think we found exactly that.

Whether it’s your health or your home….hire someone who is an expert in their field to

work with you and for you. Don’t get tricked by quick and easy or trendy. Trust that this is a journey involving course changes.

Investing in quality for your body and your home is something that always pays off.

Helse 7 grain Bread Alaskan Amber Style

Recipes

Contributed by Amber King

The Best Bread in the world!

My memories of fresh bread as a child are very strong, from missing loaves of bread that had disappeared at the logging camp while we had gone to town, or waking up to that yeasty smell in the morning were very special. I grew up on sailboats, in logging camps and eventually moving into town when I was old enough for school, and probably wild enough that my mom didn’t want to spend all day answering my millions of questions.

On the rare occasions that we went out to eat it would be at Helse or “Health” in Norwegian. It was a small, narrow restaurant tucked on the edge of Sing Lee Alley.

cheese and about 2 inches of alfalfa sprouts. It didn’t have a name but they would make it to order for me anytime we were there. They had a huge case of R.W. Knudsen’s juice to choose from, my favorite was always Ambrosia (a pineapple coconut juice blend).

My daughter was recently having some orthodontic work done and I knew this

It had the smell of fresh baked bread every time you walked in, with awesome thick sliced 7 grain mega loafs, years before everyone was reactive and sick from gluten and pesticide spraying. Whole grain bread was the celebrated hippie child of the 70’s and in the early 80’s. Helse was the place to get a five inch tall sandwich. With names such as the Whaler or the Red Bob Special, the King Neptune and famous French Dip. But my favorite sandwich was always very simple, thick slices of the amazing homemade bread, mayo, Tillamook thick sliced cheddar

bread would be a great way to add in some fiber and protein that her mouth could easily eat without pain. Low and behold I was able to get a copy of the original recipe thanks to a community Facebook page of Petersburg history. I immediately ordered new larger bread pans and some organic 7 grain cereal.

I’ve posted the original recipe and then

will share my adaptations… (Because I can’t just leave anything amazing alone lol). I recommend trying both, see which version you like best. I also cheated and used my bread machine…

I think I would have skipped to the kitchen aid next time as it needed a more powerful kneeding opportunity.

Helse 7 grain Bread Alaskan Amber Style I’m assembling the ingredients and milling the flour.

Add honey, mix in glass bowl and let sit 10 minutes.

Ingredients ½ T organic black strap molasses 2 T honey, organic 2/3 c 7 grain cereal, must be organic!!

1/2c oats (I just pulsed steal cut oats in the vitamin) 3 cups organic whole wheat flour (I milled inkhorn berries) 2T Yeast 1/3 cup avocado oil (or olive, safflower) 2t salt 3 cups white flour (organic spelt) ¼ c vital wheat gluten, organic 2t diastatic malt powder

B

loom your yeast in ¼ cup of warm water somewhere around 85 degrees, I usually boil my water and then let it cool to temp, while

Combine 7-grain cereal, oat bran, oil molasses, diastatic malt powder, and remaining hot boiling water. Let it sprout at least 20 minutes overnight (minus the malt powder if you can) then add in flour, vital wheat gluten and kneed 5-10 minutes.

Let rise covered in warm place for an hour, punch down and form into loaves (think rolling up a towel and pinching the ends closed.

Place in extra-large greased bread pans for 10-15 minutes.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, cover top with foil and bake another 30 minutes.

Loaves should leave toothpick clean when done, and sound hollow to the tap when removed from pan. Place on Contributed by Amber King rack to cool, then wrap tightly and use or freeze (up to 4 weeks) Enjoy your own King Neptune (bay shrimp, avocado, sprouts, tomato).

Happy Turkey (turkey, cranberry, whipped cream cheese, sprouts).

Whaler (turkey, pastrami, Swiss/ cheddar, sprouts). Glacier Special (Shrimp, cream cheese, sprouts, tomato, mayo). Cheese breeze (Havarti, mushrooms tuna or shrimp, sprouts, tomato and mayo). Yummy Veggie (avocado, cream cheese, sunflower seeds, sprouts, tomatoes)
