This is a great summer dish. You can fry this up with scrambled eggs or all by it's lonesome. Here is the skinny on this yellow squash dish: Chop up about 4-5 yellow squash with skin on. Sauté in olive oil garlic and onions. Add salt and cracked black pepper as well as some crushed red pepper flakes. You now have a healthy meal that is low in Saturated Fat and Sodium, and very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Protein, Vitamin A, Thiamin, Niacin, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber and Vitamin C. Enjoy, Live Well, Dr. John  This is such and easy dish to make. Begin with 1 head of cut cauliflower. Boil for 8 mins and drain. In a bowl add olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season with salt pepper and oregano. Mix and chill for 2-3 hrs. Serve cold as a dish or a side. Enjoy. Live Well, Dr. John 
What we do for our body everyday affects our health in the long run. That being said there are some old time tested health practices you should try. Kombucha being one of the oldest almost 2000 years old. What is Kombucha you may ask? Kombucha is a mixture of sugar, water, green tea, yeast and healthy bacteria all brewed up and fermented till it grows its own colony known as a scoby. The "SCOBY" is an egg like bacteria colony that resembles a mushroom. The scoby can be propagated or peeled apart after its mature and used for making additional containers of Kombucha. The beauty of using Kombucha is that you can get a friend or family member started with just a few quick instructions and a peeled off scoby from your batch, we call this the mother or master scoby. The process takes up to 10 days to grow a scoby or the good bacteria. The taste is like apple cider, a little sweet and acidic. The acidity is important to protect you from nasty stuff like E. Coli or worse. What are the health benefits? For over 2000 years this mushroom tea has helped in detoxification of the liver, adding glucosamines to the body which help repair the joints and its cartlidge and acting as a powerful probiotic which helps in fibromyagia and common bowl problems. You can make this at home very easily. There are many websites you can purchase a starter kit. Try your local health food store. We reccommend Haars Heath Foods on Delsea Dr in Vineland for all our heath and wellness needs. http://www.haarshealthfoodcenter.com/. We hope you try adding some healthy things to your daily regimine and please stay well. Live Well Dr. John This has to be one of my favorite summer salads. This is easy and delicious.

Live Well, Dr. John  CBD is Hemp oil manufactured from industrial hemp for its oils not the THC compound. The cannabis compound is the beneficial part of the oil.
