The Alternative Medicine Blog

The Alternative Medicine Blog is the work of Werner Absenger, a man of many talents and deep wells of knowledge in a variety of fields.

The Alternative medicine Blog – Why You Should Go

“There is a great need to educate the public about the current state of the health care industry, and scientifically researched complimentary and alternative approaches to disease, illness, and prevention.”

Werner’s first profession is in the culinary field as a top chef. His love of food and belief in its ability to nourish and heal us led him into more areas of study, and eventually on into the field of alternative medicine, attending Everglades University to pursue a Bachelor of Science Degree in the field.

Additionally, Werner, like most of us, had his life touched by cancer when his father became ill with the disease. In an effort to marry all of his interests and beliefs, Werner began the Absenger Cancer Education Foundation in 2006—a Foundation dedicated to researching and supporting the treatment of cancers through alternative and complimentary means.

Although Werner’s interests and knowledge span a wide range, nothing is lost for it; quite the alternative—it all supports each facet of his life and work. His blog is a sort of culmination of all of these, providing excellent information and resources in the areas of alternative health and healing, complimentary medicines, research and news of the field, fitness, nutrition, and much more.

Summing Up The Alternative Medicine Blog

The Alternative Medicine Blog is the passion and work of one very well-informed man with much to offer to help you live better and achieve your health goals more naturally.

Dietriffic – Why You Should Go

Dietriffic is the blog of Melanie Thomassian, a degree-holding registered dietitian in Ireland.

Melanie is an expert writer for several nutrition sites and has been featured on still others.

Melanie’s blog was built and is maintained as a site where people can come for real, founded, solid information from a professional with a firm understanding of her field. Understanding that so much of the diet and nutrition information out there is simply mind-boggling to the lay person, Melanie developed her blog as a place to learn what’s real and what’s not, and cut the confusion out of maintaining good health through a healthy diet. She says,

“…as someone who is passionate about nutrition, my desire is to empower people like you to possess a better understanding of what it takes to live a healthy lifestyle.
If you’re after a personal blog, full of contradictory ideas and advice which isn’t founded on evidence, you’ve come to the wrong place.

Cooking By The Seat Of My Pants

The name of this blog drew me in the first time I saw it. What does that mean—Cooking by the seat of my pants? Basically, it means cooking the way I think most of us do, if not at first, eventually…just like blogger Jerry Russell did.

Cooking By The Seat Of My Pants – Why You Should Go

We’ve covered a lot of cooking and food blogs here at Digg It, but none of them quite like this one. Most of the blogs that we’ve covered, as most cooking blogs are, have been either blogs of professional cooks and chefs or blogs by everyday cooks who do things very much by the book. Not so with Jerry’s blog.

Jerry Russell is, as he says, “cooking by the seat of his pants.” Which simply means he’s tossed aside the cookbooks, the rules, the ‘must-do’s’ and ‘can’t do’s’ and has made cooking an adventure, mixing and matching and creating new combinations and fly-by-the-seat recipes as he goes. The results are usually mouth- and eye-watering, but as Jerry (a web-designer and pro blogger by technical profession) says, sometimes the results are only “so-so” and sometimes down-right disastrous; but every experience is a learning experience, and it all makes for good blogging, either for the food and taste value, the room-for-improvement value, or just the laughs at Jerry’s expense.

“Cooking by the Seat of My pants is more than just a really catchy name for a food blog. (Well, I think it’s pretty catchy.) It’s the way I cook. I rarely use a recipe, and if I do, I blatantly neglect to follow it once I get going. I just fly through the kitchen by the seat of my pants and cook for the sheer unadulterated pleasure it gives me…

…Cooking should be fun. It should be an adventure, and the best part of that adventure is sharing. Since I can’t invite the whole world for supper, and because I have no interest at all in returning to the world of the professional cook, this is my way of sharing.”

Summing Up Cooking By The Seat Of My Pants

Jerry Russell has taken a much less structured approach to his cooking, and one that feels much more ‘normal’ than many elite cooking blogs. His is more like cooking for those of us in the real world, all the while being also something of a permission slip to let yourself go, experiment, and enjoy your food and make it fun.

Go here to check out Cooking By The Seat Of My Pants.

*By the way—Jerry’s wife, currently serving in the U.S. Air Force, has recently been deployed overseas. He shares these challenges as well in his personal stories. Our respect and gratitude to Jerry, his wife, and family for their service and sacrifice.

Chef Tom Cooks

There is one place that Thomas Andrew is and always has been at home—in the kitchen. As he says, whether cooking for a packed restaurant or for family and friends at home, he always enjoys preparing great food for others, and no doubt they enjoy it, too.

Chef Tom Cooks – Why You Should Go

There is one other place that Chef Tom Andrews has come to feel at home, and that is on the internet. So, after working his way up through the ranks of the kitchen, becoming an established head chef, and also earning his degree in restaurant management to compliment his cooking talents, Chef Tom took his talents to the web-waves and developed his blog, Chef Tom Cooks.

What you’ll find at the blog are all sorts of posts with tips, tricks, instructions, and recipes (including some excellent copycat recipes of your favorite commercial flavors and products that you can make easily right at home–that alone made a subscriber out of me!). There are also posts about Chef Tom’s foray into growing his own ingredients in his home garden….everything a home-cook could want in a cooking blog (including the cookbook to go along with it).

That does about sum it up. Chef Tom brings us a blog full of great expert cooking advice that is simple enough for even the novice to make some excellent top-quality dishes, while providing all the resources you need to get the job done.
