JULY EDITION 2015
Now Accepting Basics Board
Applications
Your Co-op is governed by an elected, volunteer
board made up of 5 Basics Co-op Owners. Basics Board
responsibilities include, but are not limited to: establishing
policies to advance the mission and goals of the Co-op;
long-term financial planning; approval of any major plans
or commitments; and hiring and supervising the general
manager. The Board meets for 2 hours every other
month to carry out these duties.
2 seats are up for election to 2-year terms beginning this
June. In keeping with our democratic cooperative
governance, any active Owner can run for election, and
all active Co-op Owners are encouraged to vote! An
Owner is considered active as long as he or she is up-to-
date on ownership payments, or is fully vested.
This year’s Board election will take place May 1-7 at the
store and online. Results will be announced at the Annual
Owner meeting in June.
MARCH 2016 EDITION
Ingredients 2 tablespoons canola oil
12 ounces Kielbasa (or your favorite sausages), cut into
2-inch pieces
1/2 pound smoked ham, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 large yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 ounces mushrooms, cut in 1/2-inch slices
1/2 pound green cabbage, shredded
1/2 pound sauerkraut, drained
1 apple, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
Preparation In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the canola oil over
medium heat. Brown the pieces of sausage and smoked ham.
Add the onions and garlic and sauté for several minutes until
the onion starts to soften. Add the remaining ingredients
and stir well. Lower the heat, cover and continue to cook
for 45 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes or so to prevent
sticking.
Serving Suggestion Traditionally, this stew is served with potatoes and rye
bread, and is often made a
day ahead of time, allowing
the flavors to mingle
overnight. Deviled eggs or
creamed herring are served
as an appetizer with this
dish. For a lighter meal, add
a fresh green salad, or
lightly-steamed broccoli,
carrots, or green beans.

Keeping It Simple
By Deb Cyrel, certified holistic nutritionist and owner
of Return 2 Health. Deb hosts a free monthly nutrition
class in the Basics Community Room (see calendar).
We have become a society obsessed with weight loss,
health consciousness, and detoxification, yet we are still
the most obese nation in the world. Obesity, toxicity,
salmonella, childhood diabetes – we are inundated with
so much information about these things, but we don’t
seem to be getting very far dealing with them!
One reason I think we struggle is due to this information
overload- it becomes so overwhelming to try and decide
where to begin. What I suggest is to simplify. Here are 5
simple suggestions that will give you a great start to
weight loss and better health:
1) Set Reasonable Goals
Trying to lose forty pounds, detox, and spend an hour a
day in the gym might be too much for you right now.
2) Eat Smaller Portions & Avoid “Seconds”
Sometimes eating is a comfort thing. If you are a ‘closet
eater,’ you understand there really is an emotional
component to overeating and eating the wrong things.
3) Use Smaller Plates
Psychologically, looking at a huge plate with a half-cup
of anything can bother you.
4) Eat a Good Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for
your thyroid gland. If it sees you have not eaten, it
assumes you are ‘starving,’ and you will retain weight.
5) Eat Slowly & Chew Your Food
Make time to sit and relax to eat. Avoid eating at
work. Rest the mind when you eat. You are nourishing
your body, let the body experience that with a calm
mind.
Set yourself up for success. Start with the simple things
you feel comfortable with and grow from there with your
progress. Remember, it takes commitment and belief in
yourself and your process. You are worth it!
