5 Foreword Every time I give a talk on why we should be eating natural foods, I am asked, "Can you suggest a good cookbook?" There are several that are good, however I've never been able to say I agree with everything in each of those books... until Sherry's cookbook! Sherry is a superb cook, and her cookbook reflects that, plus it uses only wholesome ingredients. Some of you who are counting fat and calories may question the use of cream or sour cream in a few recipes. You can always substitute low fat yogurt, if you desire. This cookbook proves you don't have to eat twigs and berries to eat healthy, and what you eat doesn't have to taste like cardboard! So, be encouraged in using this cookbook, you have made a wise choice and will begin to make even wiser choices in the foods you and your family eat. A friend of mine recently lost 50 pounds eating this way, along with a good exercise program. I've used this cookbook, eaten at Sherry's house, and seen her beautiful family of six growing boys-- they eat hearty and they are healthy! Rejoice in the goodness of the Lord, and enjoy what He has provided for us. Lynn Stafford, CCN Certified Clinical Nutritionist Isaiah 35:3

6 Sherry s Natural Food Cookbook Supplying What You Need Supplying What You Need A healthier, more natural way of eating is on everyone's mind today. But the question is, how do we accomplish this? If you want to live a longer, more fruitful life, then a lifelong change in your diet is what's needed. This change does not need to happen overnight. Take it slow and integrate the healthy whole foods into your diet. Everything that you need for a healthy diet can be supplied by natural whole foods. There are three basic things that people are really concerned about getting in their diet. The first major concern is protein. Your diet must be well planned to provide the protein and nutrients that your body needs. Meat does not have to be your major source of protein. Beans, peas, nuts, and grains contain substantial amounts of protein. Eating these foods in particular combinations will provide your body with nutritionally complete protein. For example, beans and rice eaten together provide complete protein! Yes, it's true! There are many other combinations of food that also provide protein. Beans and whole wheat rolls or tortillas are another example of combining complete protein. Lentils and brown rice or beans and corn also supply complete protein. When cheese or eggs are added to a meal, it also increases your protein yield. So you see, meat is not the only answer to the question, "Where do I get protein from?" Everyone's next concern is calcium. There are many food items that contain calcium. Sesame seeds, almonds, broccoli, spinach, dried beans, and wheat bran all contain calcium that our bodies can utilize. Using almond milk in place of regular milk provides protein and calcium in the diet, also. Additional information on almond milk can be found on page 4. The third major point of interest is supplying iron in your diet. Iron is essential for the health of your blood, bones, brain, and muscles. Small amounts of iron are necessary in all the cells of your body for them to function properly. Whole wheat, rice bran, legumes (dried beans and peas), and dried apricots are some of the best sources of iron. Spinach, almonds, raisins, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds also contain iron. It is very easy to get the required amount of iron with all these delicious foods to choose from each day. Most meatless diets contain fewer calories than diets that include meat. People who consume meatless diets ingest less saturated fat and smaller amounts of the fatty substance called cholesterol. Diets that have lower levels of saturated fat and cholesterol result in lower levels of cholesterol in the blood. Medical research indicates that a high level of cholesterol in the blood is associated with heart disease. Page 1
