Chronic in the Kitchen: Salad days
Summer is in full swing - the days are long and lazy, and when the mercury rises, the last thing a Babe wants to do is stand over a hot stove putting together some fussy meal. The markets are bursting with beautiful fresh produce right now, and a great way to take advantage of it is to toss those fruits and veggies into a salad. Salads are quick to assemble and incredibly versatile - they can stand alone as a hearty lunch or light supper, or play a supporting role, accompanying simply grilled chicken, meat or fish. Salads provide an abundance of vitamins and other nutrients, and they couldn't be easier to prepare.

To teach? To shush? To punch? What do you do when confronted with a naysayer?
What happens when you encounter a naysayer, someone who doubts the validity of who you are or what you do - or even asks why you can't just "fix" your illness and "get on with your life"? Do you take their opinions personally and argue your point, or do you give them up as a lost cause? Editrix Jenni Prokopy encountered a serious naysayer this weekend and decided she needs a new plan for dealing with negative folks.
