Our goal with Liv Organically—both the magazine and our own line
of better-for-you, better-for-Earth products—is to help you make healthier,
more sustainable choices for your family. At your local store, you will find
a wide range of fresh foods (many of them produced locally, organically,
or both); gluten-free products; effective vitamins and supplements; and
holistic, nontoxic body care brands.
We are passionate about offering more sustainable products
that will help support your environmentally conscious lifestyle. We believe
in supporting American businesses, with an increasing emphasis on local
farmers and smaller companies rooted within or near our communities.
In these pages, you’ll find … common turkey labels, defined on page 5,
to help you find the right holiday bird. The main dish—whether turkey,
ham, or Tofurkey—tends to be the easiest part of holiday menu planning;
but what about the side dishes? This year, get inspired to go beyond the
usual mashed potatoes with delicious vegetable dishes like Stuffed Acorn
Squash with Black Rice, Roasted Carrots, and Dried Cherries. Recipes start
on page 16. November is Diabetes Month, and we’re proud to include a
feature article on how to help your children develop healthy eating habits
for life (page 8). Please enjoy your reading—we hope that what you learn
here helps you improve your own health and that of your family.
