The Roswell FAM Experience from Julian A. Amedee
Welcome to “The Roswell FAM Experience”. I pray that this finds you at a positive time of your day, if not I pray that at some time in the day you take a turn for the better.
No Short Cuts
The concept of No Short Cuts is very easily explained in the world of legal and illegal, but it also holds true for your health. Getting to where you want to be health wise takes a lot of work and dedication. There are no quick fixes, but that is what a lot of us look for. Why do you think you see all of those infomercials?

Chef Jeffrey Gardner’s Ribollita Demo
Chef Jeffrey Gardner from Common Quarter's Ribollita Demo
Ribollita is a famous Tuscan soup, a hearty potage made with bread and vegetables.

Its name literally means "reboiled".

Happy 220th Birthday to the Can
Food preservation is as old as agriculture. For millennia, that consisted of smoking, salting, drying and, eventually, sugaring. Strangely enough, the next major advance in food preservation was developed in pursuit of military conquest.
Napoleon Bonaparte’s place in history is secured because of his political and military achievements. Less well-known, but probably as important, is his role in the development of canning. He knew that brilliant military strategies were worth little if his troops couldn’t eat well enough to keep healthy and strong for battle. In ...
Changing Eating Habits
Welcome to “The Roswell FAM Experience”. I pray that this finds you at a positive time of
your day, if not I pray that at some time in the day you take a turn for the better.
Changing Eating Habits
Last article I spoke about continuing your training through changes in your life. Today I want to
