I am starting this new blog on wordpress.com today to use it as a mechanism of motivation and documentation about my interest in healthy cooking and dining – particularly my passion about vegetarian and Chinese medicated diets!
A friend had given me a gift bag of nutrition bars back in December 2006. Those were the best ever! [Yeah, they were from Al Gore, no wonder!] Yet, at the time I did not expect what these little fresh and tasty nutrition bars would have influenced my way of thinking and living in a healthy lifestyle…
On Feb 10, 2007, I learned about the concept of “humm” vs. “beckoning” foods from a leaflet of those delicious LÄRABARs and wrote on my other blog a short note called “Go humming! Ingredients of a healthy life” where I reiterated the story of the owner of LÄRABAR and her introduction of the “humming” idea:
I started Humm Foods®, the creator of LÄRABAR®, because of my firm belief that good health and well-being are derived from what you eat. At Humm Foods, we develop natural food products that enliven the body, mind and soul. Our company name comes from an ancient belief that food falls into two categories:
Beckoning Foods, which beckon consumption again and again, sapping the body of energy without any real health benefits. Today, they’re called “junk foods.”
Humm Foods, on the other hand, resonate with energy in a whole natural state. When consumed, they cause you to feel vibrant and alive.
That’s what you get in every LÄRABAR® – real food that creates an unmistakable urge to, well, hum! Enjoy and start humming!

My favorites:
Cashew Cookie (with cashews and dates)
Pecan Pie (with dates, pecans, and almonds)
AND my version of 5-A-Day: multigrains, fresh veggies, fresh fruits, nuts, and water … it can’t sound healthier than that, right
