You won't believe what the U.S. Department of Agriculture permits farmers to inject into beef cattle, sheep, poultry, and dairy cows. After all, the faster an animal gains weight, the more quickly it can be slaughtered and sped to your dinner table. More telling yet, the USDA has mandated that organic food cannot contain added hormones, antibiotics, synthetic pesticides, irradiated components, genetically modified organisms, or reprocessed sewage. That means non-organic foods most likely contain these additives, all of which may be detrimental to your health, or even deadly. While the government insists that residual hormones and antibiotics in food are harmless, research proves otherwise. In Organic for Health, cancer and liver disease survivor Sandy Powers shares firsthand knowledge of antibiotics in seafood, pesticide absorption in fruits, diminished vitamin levels in vegetables, and additives that can trigger hyperactivity and asthma. And she brings the healing and restorative power of organic foods, rich in vitamins and minerals that are not over-produced by chemical agents, into sharp focus. Organic for Health will convince you to avoid conventionally grown foods laden with the biggest offenders, and more important, to fill your body with the clean, potent vitamins and minerals in organic foods that truly honor your health.

Our children wanted me to do a cookbook for them and our grandchildren. They all wanted certain recipes and things grew from there. The book was originally for them and our extended family (The Blackburns,) but friends and others who have seen the book wanted a copy so here we are. I have been cooking for 50 years and these 200 plus recipes are out of a collection of approximately 400 kept in folders and notebooks. Sandy is from Wyoming and had never eaten most of these dishes until she met me. I love to cook and Sandy is more than willing to let me. She does the dishes! When we came back South after we retired I introduced her to more seafood and she was hooked on all seafood and on Gulf Shores Alabama. Some of these recipes I have here are from my Mother and Father, some from my wonderful stepmother, Rita, who did not learn English until first grade. Boy, could she cook Cajun! One of our neighbors, the Rao's (from the Old Country,) taught my Mother how to cook Italian. The rest of the recipes came from friends, cooking magazines or via the internet. I've cooked all at least once. Some are broiler, some are oven or stove top. For ease of doing, the crockpot recipes are great, so I included some of those too. None of the recipes require a lot of talent, are pretty straight forward, easy on the budget and easy to prepare. Cooking methods can be interchanged between crock-pot and stove top on many recipes. As far as measurements go, I'm long past exact measurements. I go by taste and feel. Remember, there is no such thing as "too much garlic." Season everything to Your taste. Bear in mind that as a dish cooks, the spices meld together and some spices increase in taste the longer it cooks. Don't be afraid to delete or add items to the dish. Experiment! Cooking should be enjoyable, so let'er rip and enjoy the experience. There are a lot of seafood recipes because we live on the Gulf Coast where seafood is plentiful and fresh. There is an abundance of Cajun dishes because I learned them from Rita and are just plain good. ENJOY! Bill and Sandy
