Longtime readers of this blog know the great admiration I have for Whole Foods CEO John Mackey. Steve Forbes recently had a great interview with him about his new book Concious Capitalism, which is currently making Progressive heads explode all across the land.
This past week I watched the Ben Carson movie Gifted Hands on Netflix. It was such an inspiring movie that I encouraged all of my children to take the time to watch it. I know the internet is going crazy with Ben Carson fever, but for me, it has been so refreshing after four years of the Scold in Chief demonizing me and my belief that to have a soft spoken man stand up and speak the words that my heart has longed to hear, well, gentle rain on a parched desert seems a fitting analogy.
Here is the complete Hannity interview from last night:
I had a wonderful chat with Belen this morning. She just gave birth to her second child three weeks ago today. He was born at home into his Parents hands.
I bake whole grain baked goods every day.  Muffins, cookies, bread, cinnamon rolls, pizza.  My family is always chowing down the foods I create, especially if  they are slathered with cheese or sugar.
I made these granola bars six days ago on monday, double batch with whole wheat flour and a whole cup of golden flax seeds. Sometimes if I make things “too healthy” my family does not eat the baked goods. Â But if I slather some cream cheese frosting on old cinnamon rolls or muffins, or some chocolate frosting on week old granola bars, they magically disapear.
Once in a while I will come out in the kitchen and a little mouse, named Benjamin, will have LICKED the frosting off the baked goods. Â But he knows Mama has feelings on that score, so generally they eat the whole grain goody. Â I was thrilled to wake up from my sunday afternoon nap and see that platter of bars greatly diminished down to two.
